If it used Steam..........I would get it.

I thought you were getting one anyway based on your daily commute alone. I guess not?

So I have to say, I'm pretty damn excited for Uncharted 3. Picked up the first 2 and played through them again over the past month. Can't wait to see what Drake gets himself into this next go around.

I think Sony has convinced me to get the Vita. I've wanted a good handheld gaming device for awhile, and as more of a hardcore gamer, I just cannot play games on my phone. I hate gaming on it. And the 3DS, well, no. Uncharted: Golden Abyss really pulled me in though, as I'm a huge fan of that franchise.

I was hoping to get more of a look at Twisted Metal at the Sony conference, but unfortunately that didn't happen. Luckily there was some gameplay on Gametrailer's streaming though.

You and I sound a bit alike. I despise gaming on a cell phone as well. I require some sort of buttons and sticks. Swiping and tapping is fucking dumb.

Now that you mention it I'm pretty shocked that Twisted Metal wasn't shown. I forgot all about it.

Ok, so I watched the last part.

Ruin looks like it could be pretty awesome.

But one of the coolest things I took away was the cloud saving and picking up your game between the Vita and PS3. Awesome.

I'm still not sold on the Vita name though. I don't know why they just couldn't call PSP2.

Grade: B-

Because in general the PSP sucked. I mean that's what it is, a PSP2. The first one promised a console like experience on a handheld just like this one. Do I fall for the same a shit that sold me the first time? I need more questions answered before I committ.

It also depends on how much these games sell for. If the majority are ~$30....I could go for that but if they are ~$40+, that's tough to swallow.

Yeah I think the main reason they didn't call it the PSP2 is b/c the first one was a flop. It just didn't live up to what it was suppose to be. And I know prices aren't final, but Gamestop is listing Uncharted: Golden Abyss at $39.99.

I can't see how they won't be $40. They look like close to PS3 quality games. Current PSP games seel for $40 so know wat they are cheaper than that.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Although I enjoy my PSP quite a bit (I played it a lot during my trip; GTA:LCS is still awesome) I know it wasn't the success Sony wanted it to be so I can see why they want to distance themselves from it. But I think the mere fact that they kept iterating it and continuing to stick with only one analog nub fucked them the most.
