I love the damn thing, I don’t think there’s been a day since launch I haven’t played mine. I guess partly my excitement was driven up by constantly demoing it and showing it off for customers before it came out, but still. I like how strong the launch line-up was and Unit 13 and Mortal Kombat have been solid additions. Sadly we’re at the annoying stage where a lot of people don’t appreciate how many games came out at launch and are all “where’s the next one?” That’ll be interesting, to see what is next and how frequently good games are going to come. For now, I’m happy with Wipeout, Everybody’s Golf and MLB The Show (despite the region-locked online pass bullshit).

My only gripe so far is the pricing of the downloadable titles. Had there been 32gb cards at launch and had the downloadable titles been significantly cheaper than retail copies, I’d have jumped all over it – nothing like the convenience of having all your games in one spot without having to carry them in a pouch or switch carts. I thought the whole point of digital distribution was to cut down on shipping and packaging costs to make stuff cheaper?

Despite reading the article I’m not really interested in the PSvita. I know little about it, but it seems to lie somewhere between a proper gaming console and phone games. My point being if I’m at home I’ll play the ps3, if I’m riding the bus/train I’ll whip out my phone for 10 minutes (games, messages etc). I wouldn’t bother buying something that appears to lack options in both enviroments. That’s my uninformed opinion and possibly why it’s not setting the market on fire.
