get a Vita since you have a PS3 because you will be able to synch them up.

I don't have a Vita, but if you were playing The Show, you could synch your Vita with the PS3 to be able to continue your dynasty/road to the show while you aren't at home.

There are probably other things you can synch as well, but that's all I know of.

I travel every week and the Vita is a godsend for me. Flights are much less sucky having it.

Vita, it's awesome! And there are a few games that sync up, and even some cross play games.

1. Vita can do, 3DS can not.
2. Vita and 3DS can do.
3. This depends on your taste. I think both have good libraries and are getting better each month. What type of games do you like?

3DS is developing a strong library and some think it is the best system out right now

It might not be the best system for your needs, though. It is lacking in some of the multi-media areas that you seem to be interested in.

Vita might be better (don't honestly know, I'll let others provide more info in that regard), and a tablet would definitely be better, but might lack in some of the gaming departments.

You could also pick up a 3DS and a cheap 7" tablet.

Eh. Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter, and Super Smash Bros will be more than enough to entertain me.

Super Smash Bros


This one unfortunately... all we got is the PlayStation all-stars.. a copy

quote:

Monster Hunter,


I am currently playing through the most highly acclaimed monster hunter to date on my vita... and it has online unlike the one coming to the 3ds

quote:

Fire Emblem,


Vita is seeping with RPGs already... not to mention the library of ps1 rpgs.. and soon ps2..

Vita is also getting tales games... so there IS that as well.

On top of that we are getting every single tournament fighter ever released in the last 5 years, realistic sports games and fps's

ETA: and if you have PlayStation plus.. you get 5 free games every 3 months and major discounts on downloadable games.
