I love the Vita, in fact I had a PSP which I let go a few years back because I was not using it. I immensely regretting trading it in because I absolutely love locoroco (a must have game if you ask me!). The PS Vita doesn't fail to impress. The game library may be a little thin now, but the thin PS Vita game library is supplemented by a huge PSP, PS Classic library.
The battery life could be great, but 3-5 is okay. If you're going on a trip make sure to bring a battery charger with you.
I personally am never going to use the cellular data feature. I have a smartphone with tethering plan, so I can just tether it to that. Then I can get 4G LTE and play multiplayer games. The GPS is a nice touch, however.
The buttons are a little small, along with the thumbsticks. But I have big hands. They would be okay for average hands.
This unit is a stealit includes a game and the device over the Wifi only version. There is no reason NOT to get this over the wifi version. But, a bit of warning. I would get the 16gb card at a minimum. This card will only hold this game and MAYBE another PS Vita game if it is small. It will definitely fit a PSP game though or a PS Classic title.
I initially had the 8GB card, but that will hold 2 games and MAYBE 3. Kind of annoying. The 16 will fit 5-6 games comfortably. But if you intend on buying all of your games through cards, then the 4GB card will do. 8 if you want to store music. Games can be found on the PSN Store at a small discount which is really nice since you save on packaging and material costs.
The graphics are mind blowing. When I was playing games I first thought the cutscenes were pre-rendered but they were not! It is amazing what mobile graphics can do. These chips are also on smartphones, but they can't be optimized because the hardware isn't standardized. The vita, however, can be. If you're worried about the lack of Vita titles, there should be a lot more A++ titles coming soon. The Vita TV may end up helping the platform, if that happens more games could be made for the Vita.
The Vita only supports 2.4GHz Wifi, unfortuantely no 5GHz support.
I see portable consoles serving a purpose: gaming on the go. That being said, if you're not always on the go traveling somewhere, I would not get a mobile gaming console at all. There's no point in gaming on a tiny screen for most of your time. However, if you are, the gaming experience here is very pleasant.

Get this system in your hands and you'll never want to put it down..Surprises:
Remote play is not pefect, but very cool and easy to set up. You can use it over the internet. Almost all PS4 games will support this feature. (At this point, not many PS3 games do.) Next Gen on a handheld.
Web browsing actually feels great.
I can browse my pictures, play my music, and watch my downloaded movies, all streamed from my PC on my home network. (Video formats are restricted to MP4).
The OS is fast and easy to use, with a customizable home screen. Being able to stop at any point in a game and switch to another task or just put the system into a hybernate mode and come back to it later with almost no loss of battery is really convenient.
Skype works great.
Disappointments:
AR is not being utilized yet. There are a handful of gimmicky "Augmented Reality" games you can download for free, but they're not worth bothering with really.
Needs more great games. Listen, this is coming from a guy who has bought multiple repackagings of MarioKart, Yoshi's Island, Katamari Damacy, Metal Gear Solid, etc. Ports and remakes and HD versions and classics; those things are all great and I'm fine with them, but I also want more new, exclusive titles like Gravity Rush, which I'm loving.
Here's the deal: this is the best handheld system ever made. What it needs is for people to get on board so that developers will feel confident that if they spend the money to release a game for it, they'll see a return on the investment.
Anyone who has 200 dollars and loves handhelds, Playstation, great tech, or any combination of those, should buy this system.
And by the way, I don't game "on the go". I use this system in my bed at home, the same way I would read a book before going to sleep. And when PS4 comes out I'll be able to do this while playing amazing next gen games. Sometimes I'll just grab it and use it like an iPad when I want to Google something or watch a Youtube video or Netflix. The point is, this system is not just for people with commutes or who travel often. My Vita's home is on my nightstand and I can't wait to kick back and pick it up once the kids are in bed.
Also, it's been said, but yes this bundle is an awesome deal.
Best Deals for PlayStation Vita - The Walking Dead Bundle
At first I was just considering buying a vita but now I'm really glad I did. The graphics are brilliant for a mobile console and the feature content is great as well. Overall a great attempt by Sony because I usually sell whatever PSP I tend to own and the vita will be staying with me for how feature rich it is. I guarantee you would be pleased with this purchase!Things you should know first
First thing you should do is update your vita using your pc. (Using the vitas safe mode is best.)
Second the vita does not come with on board memory so get the largest size memory card you could afford.
Third the vita online games cards are region dependant so to get walking dead use a US address in setup.
Last but not least enjoy the experience!

If anyone is planning to buy a PlayStation Vita, I would recommend this because it's the same price as the normal Vita.

And you get a 4GB memory card which is very good and this model is a 3g/WiFi model.GOOD DEAL!
