Actually, I'm now starting to wonder whether or not to buy a game or just download it. That way I only need to carry one card and it's easily downloaded again if I lose it?

I know how annoying the ankle weights get when they can't find their DS Lite games laying around the house.

The build quality seems to be ok on the whole, the demo model had a small dent in the metal trim band around the side but they have had it a while and I guess quite a few people have handled it.

One thing that does look to be a bit flimsy are the 'doors' on the edges that cover the memory and game card slots (in common with several devices e.g. cameras on sale these days). I wonder how long it will be before the 'hinge' gives way. (though I have to say the similar 'door' on my camera is still ok after more than a year).

The 'Little Deviants' game is addictive and is played by using the touch surface on the rear of the Vita. You move the 'ground' under your player. The graphics are clear and bright thanks to the OLED screen. Obviously the resolution is not as high as a computer screen or tv, even without my reading specs I could see well enough to play the game, just could not read the text, either on screen or on the Vita itself.

I am looking forward to trying Dungeon Hunter and Uncharted next Wednesday evening and I can see that I may get Little Deviants too.

It is worth having a look at but leave your wallet at home .

Lol! Thanks for that.

Yeah, it's weird isn't it? I always get bear and bare confused. Is there also a bair? Or what?

Yes, could've been worse but why Sony couldn't have added SD Card support? Even MicroSD card just for media as well as their new Vita Media thing would've been good.

I like the idea of owning a Vita myself but doubt I would do it justice, plus the game are all around £30 or so and I don't think I'd buy too many. Great hardware and control interface I feel. So much better than that Android/PS phone thing but ultimately, I still feel phone gaming on the move is the better option as mobile gaming seems to be more about time wasting (casual puzzlers etc) rather than serious gameplay but then, what do I know? I suppose if you do a lot of commuting (and don't have other to do) it makes a lot of sense though!

The largest card currently available in the UK is 16GB and it is around the £40 mark, I don't know how much space the games take up though. Having all the games on one card would certainly be useful. It would save having to keep swapping cards when you want to change the game.

The memory/game cards are not hot-swappable either, so you need to turn off the Vita to swap cards.

It's not affected by lighting either

Hmmm. Bear you say?

Yeah, bit of a downer on the memory card thing, but it's no more than I've come to expect really. I think an 8 GB will be enough for me luckily and that's not a bad package.

WiFi Vita
8 GB card
ModNation Racers
£ 259

WiFi Vita
4 GB Card
Rayman
Dungeon Hunter
Lumines
£269

Mine looks like the better deal matey as i get 2 extra games for a tenner but only half the storage on my Card though..

Mrnelster does need somewhere to put all his pr0n though, remember? 4GBs just won't cut it.

No, pr0n makes me sick.

In fact I'm not really a fan of any type of seafood

Haha. And there was me thinking, waaaht?
