      anyway i agree with the 3G seems like a waste. personally, im going to save the 50 bucks and skip it. there is no where i play my psp that does not have wifi and i cant imagine my time with the vita will be any different.
      Oh I'll give credit when and where credit is due, but you just compared apples to oranges. PSP FW vs PS3 while apperance wise are the same, per the scene is not. Sony couldn't salvage the train wreck on the PSP. Games coming out for it now, still can be played with CFW m33. That is what I was referring to when I poked at Sony learning from their mistake.

      Time will only tell for this one, but I have a feeling that they haven't.

      Was talking to another friend and he agreed, 3G isn't worth the extra $50 + service with AT

      "Vita means, we've been h4xX0r3d so hard, our sales broke extremely down, and we're still on maintenance, aka, we suck and so the vita will so don't buy it." "Also, originally it was named PSP2, but in order to break our sales anonymous changed the name to fckin ******ed vita."

      looks nice. Cant wait for a Jailbrake! With this Core inside, it could emulate N64 at full framerate. I totaly buy it when it is Jailbraked.

      Nah uh, CFW for the ps3 is to turn your ps3 system into a retro arcade, at first i purchased my ps3 for typical ps3 reasons, but when i found out about cfw.. I thought about my dead snes and figured this was a way to revive it! also my gameboy and sega genesis!!! Haha just a little joke, I think squarepusher did a amazing job with the ports esp. the HD retro systems. These gaming companies make more money then developers do anyway. Buying games used at least at my game retail store (gamestop), is all gamestop profits. I and many others I know never buy games new at least not when they first come out. Highly disapointing games for $60 USD start off.

      On-Topic: I was looking into getting a iphone or some of the sort.. But this looks very interesting minus the flash card, or cartridge, or whatever it's suppose to be.
