Gravity Rush is out on June 13. Another must-buy/play for the Vita going by the reviews and it is exclusive.

Vita is absolutely wonderful for when the telly isn't free for playing the PS3.

I got mine for 197 at Asda on day release, not sure if the price is the same, worth a try.

Brought the Vita to day, 1st i went to Game picked it up then put it back down, went to have a look in HMV got to the till with the bundle Vita & a game of the selection but i wanted unchareted they never had it so i took it as a sign not to get the vita. But then i went ot Asda to go shopping and the Vita was just staring at me the price was £217, and i brought uncharted with it and a 4gig stick

1st Impressions... good then i put uncharted in and was blown away the vita just feels so good in your hands.

I just hope we get some more games, anyone know when the MGS collection is out ?

Don't think they've been released yet, but estimates for the USA put sales for March at about 125,000 - significantly lower than the 225,000 it sold in February.

Last week it sold just 8931 in Japan - it's lowest figure yet. In comparison, the 3DS sold over 72,000 and even the PSP 14,804. (it was a particularly bad week for all hardware though)

[DEADLY_17]

I think the lack of sales is the lack of good games i mean the only good game i have is Uncharted i might get Mortal Combat.

But we are getting some great games by the end of the year

[Scrapanatchi]

abit annoyed i cant use buttons & sticks in the ps vita store & menus, does it hurt them to have the option? also the organisation of content seems abit off why is the newest content showing up in alphabetical order (under latest) mixed with older content and not up top like on ps3?

[SHANK0055]

I'm beginning to wish I’d never bought mine now, I haven't played it very much at all

Resistance and LBP are the only things keeping me from ebaying right now tbh.

It just has too many bad points ie:

No killer games - of all the games I've played I'd struggle to give anything over 8/10.

Poor browser with lack of flash/youtube.

The joysticks seem poor and make aiming imprecise when compared to its big brother – Uncharted’s aiming is awful and Unit 13 actually has aim assist to combat the Vitas poor responsiveness.

Poor support from Sony; yes it had an impressive launch line up but where's the PS1/PS2 classics and decent aps like youtube/Netflix etc.

Also the nearest shop to me that stocks Vita titles is 25 miles away, even our local 24hr Tesco Extra doesn't bother with it.

In my group of friends both real and PSN I’m the only one that bought one.

All in all I have to say I regret buying it now

It shocks me to see how badly Sony have handled the vita in Japan. The sales have been dreadfully low for weeks and yet silence from sony. They have no killer titles on the horizon and have announced nothing while the machine drops like a stone.

I know what you mean i bought mine last week, Been playing uncharted which is awesome but once thats over i have nothing else to play I still think The vita games cost far to much i think they should be around £25 not £44 which i have seen in GAME

I'll see how things go, when is the likes of COD etc being released ?

[trayhop123]

but im still a bit miffed , ,,,, i wanted to watch netflix on it cuddled up under the quilt with the mrs in bed.

The aiming in Uncharted wasn't great, but for me it was to responsive, a lot of the time the targets were to small, I found it really hard to be precise. Some aim assist would have worked well - like slowing the reticle when passing over a target, sticky aiming I think its called.

My Vita is up for sale, keeping the PS3 for any future gaming requirements.

[OMTT]

I'm still enjoying my Vita but don't play as often as when I first got it. Still play Everybody's Golf, Escape Plan & Motorstorm RC alot.

Looking forward to Gravity Rush & Resistance

There was aim assist in Uncharted but it was difficulty dependent. It was switched off on Hard/Crushing (not sure about Normal) but it's there on Very Easy. The reticle would always land on the nearest enemy.

[wildphantom!]

I'm eagerly waiting from some of the games to drop sub £20 (Rayman, Everybody's Golf). I thought the prices would drop to that level by now, hopefully it will happen soon!

[NorfolkBoy1]

When you keep reading/hearing people saying "I'm going to wait for a price drop" or "I'm going to wait for the games to go on sale" you almost know the system is doomed (DOOMED I TELL YE)

It would be a big shame, the Vita has so much going for it, I've just invested in an import copy of MLB 12 The Show, so even if the system does flop I can play Road To The Show indefinitely for years!

[dundeederryboy]

Havn't been using mine (Though not really been playing any other games as i've been playing football manager) but think i'd use this a lot more if there was support for mini's and ps1 games.

[Tobajones]

Hi, don't know if this will interest you but according to thesixthaxis a bunch of PSP games are going to be cut in price this week. Titles include Ghost of Sparta, Resistance Retribution and Gran Turismo all reduced to £7 amongst many others. I know they are not Vita games but whilst your waiting for the big guns to arrive...

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2012/04/...es-dead-cheap/

As far as I know you will have to check whether the games you fancy are compatable with Vita as not every one is. The article suggests this can be checked on the PS store.

I thought the aiming on uncharted was fantastic compared to the PS3 games. Did you not like the fact that you could losely target and then fine tune the aim by moving the vita about?

I got over 450 headshots on the first palythrough on Normal because of how well I got on with the aiming.

Still waiting for some new big name games. Why is LBP taking so long? Does Sony not realise they are killing the Vita dead by not following up with a second batch of AAA titles to keep the momentum going?

I didn't have a problem with the aiming. It was much better implemented than the aim adjustment with the sniper rifle in Killzone 2. I wonder if people who found it difficult didn't have the Vita properly oriented.

As for the games, personally I can wait. The PS3 is my main gaming system but there aren't enough hours in the year to make a serious dent in my entire gaming collection. I've got PC games from 2002 onwards unplayed (thanks to Unreal Tournament and later Counter-Strike: Source) and now thanks to some fantastic discounts and deals with PS+ I have over over 200 PS3 games (and countless minis/ps1).

I am looking forward to the new Resistance game though, that will be my next Vita purchase. I would prefer developers to take their time and release their games when they are ready rather than rushing stuff out. People we're more likely to remember (and resent) a rushed piece of crap than a good game that got delayed to make it better.

[Nedubiz]

I liked the aiming in Uncharted. I played through on hard and, once I got used to it found it to be really precise - works well in Unit 13 too.

Have to say I am still loving the vita. I got a bit fed up with Wipeout - graphically stunning but I am just not a fan of the series really. So I traded it in F1 2011, and have been really enjoying that. I manage to do a grand prix a day - doing my practice and qualifying on the way to work and the race itself on the way home. I have never had a more enjoyable commute!

As before there are a few niggles with the system. We are still a few features short of what I expected - ps1 classics should be directly playable rather than via remote play. Thanks to plus I have resi 1,2&3 and silent hill all waiting to be played, so I hope they sort this soon. Be great if they extended it to the PS2 games on the store too.
Remote play, which was an advertised feature, should be fully functioning by now. Netflix and Skype apps are also overdue.

But - even with these slight niggles - I get far more use out of the system then I expected.

[fastest finger]

Skype arrives tomorrow

[pocatello]

Sales are still horrible.
