I like the way you think, as a iPhone owner, if it had slide out buttons like Xperia Play, and deeper games like Uncharted and cartridge support, I would play games more often on it as I carry my smartphone everywhere.
But then I realised playing games on a phone is fun for 10 minutes like a game of Angry Birds, but I can't imagine the battery drain on my phone if I was playing a game like Uncharted, not only do I play games like that longer, but obviously a game like Uncharted would take more juice than a game like Angry Birds. I would hate my only phone to die because I wanted to play games on it. With a seperate game console, the battery may go in 4-8 hours but at least your phone battery is not dead.

Not really. Instead of dual-layered like a Go or Xperia, it's tri-layered with the front screen, a control panel that pulls from the middle, and then the back pad.
Definitely would be ugly as sin though. The Vita Phone isn't as logical as I first though. Makes me feel better about buying my Vita on day 1.

Heh, we got you covered either way if you like our game.
<plug>Great Little War Game is out for iOS now</plug>,
but we've also got the Vita version finished already - just waiting for the unit to go on sale.
I can confirm that the machine is everything you'd like it to be - a really sweet bit of kit. And best of all, Sony are seriously pushing indies forward, so it's AppStore should start filling up in the same way the iOS one has.
Nintendo can learn a lot from their attitude.

I wish someone would make an honest to goodness full on Advance Wars clone for it, though. Nothing scratches the same itch.

This goes to what I was saying about Sony having a good attitude towards Indies.
We showed them our game, they liked it loads and thought it a good fit for their machine, so they sent us four kits. Gratis. Just like that.
I know, never happened to me before either, but this has got to be good news for both devs and gamers. Unlike Nintendo, Sony now "get it".

Awesome! Sounds like Sony circa PS1.

I think you might like our sequel then. It's still not AW as we can't just blatantly rip someone elses game, but it plays closer to it than the current version. There's a very high likelihood that the sequel is actually what goes out on Vita - depends on how fast we finish it tbh.
It's just that I do not always carry a bag. I do when I have class, so this would be feasible then, but I still don't like its size. I currently have a PSP Go that I slide in my pocket very easily. I love its portability. I just don't know if I have an interest in a big, bulky PSP that I have to think about. This is the reason I couldn't stand the 3000. Having my portable device thoughtlessly on me and ready to go is more of an ideal situation for me.
It's just that....the Vita looks so god damn good....

It's actually still to be decided. Originally it was going to be a boxed product, but our publisher bailed through no fault of our own. We're still half heartedly looking for a replacement but we'll be ok if it goes as under a "lesser" scheme. Doubtless less total income, but a shitload less hassle also!
Thanks! The price is still to be decided, but if it's not in a box we aim to present a pretty low price - we prefer as many people playing it as possible and try to charge accordingly.

Welcome to next generation portable gaming. There's the door mate, don't feel bad about it. Seriously, they're probably going to fix that with the next SKU, so wait tight or climb on the wagon now. Have you seen the PSP1000? Have you friggin' held the PSP1000!? Like night and day with the 3000, believe me. So it's probably going to get better, don't worry about it.
