Thinking of picking up a Vita this weekend.
Been tossing and turning over whether to pick up a Vita or re-buy a PS3 for GTA V after mine died over the summer. Think I'm going for the Vita though. As much as I want to play GTA V, I'd be spending £200 or so just for that one game, which I'm not in a rush to do, and would inevitably lose money once I traded it back in towards my PS4 or when I finish with GTA V. The Vita is actually something I've wanted to pick up for a while and will keep in and around my gaming plans for the next few years - especially with the PS4 integration - so seems a better investment for me.
I did own a launch Vita before so I'm fairly familiar with the system itself, but feel like I've missed out on TONS of stuff since then. Any recommendations or tips? Think I'm going for the £169 Vita + Killzone Mercenary + 8GB card bundle. I don't really want to have to make do with 8GB but also don't want to pay £55 for 32GB. Is 16GB an acceptable happy medium if I mostly intend on playing PS1 classics and indie games?
Sounds like a plan. 16GB is fine, especially if you buy physical for retail releases and don't plan on trying to fill it up with Square PSOne games (CG FMV = huge filesizes). Most all the worthwhile digital-only games never break 1000MB, or even get up in that range. Then if you ever wanted to upgrade you could look towards the 64GB when it's available, instead of 32.
Killzone, Dragon's Crown, Rayman Origins & Legends (can make do with just Legends tbh since many Origins levels made it into the game), Lumines, Hot Shots Golf, Little Big Planet, Gravity Rush (still free on PS+), Persona 4, Soul Sacrifice (could wait to see if Delta comes here), Muramasa, Sly Cooper, Disgaea 3, Rocketbirds, Sound Shapes, Guacamelee, Stealth Inc, Hotline Miami, Velocity Ultra, Super Stardust Delta, Motorstorm RC, Spelunky, Retro City Rampage, Plants Vs Zombies etc... you could be straight for a long time with any number of these. There's still a few more I like, but it depends on taste, and that's already enough when not buying stuff over time as it releases.
