I pre ordered it and here is what i am going to say about it. (Thou i should note that i bought the wifi only vertion.)

In a way this is Sony's dipping ther big toe into "the cloud" while keeping ther other foot planted on the physical market. The screen is notestibly larger than the PSP thou the face buttens are a bit smaller. Also the touch screen and the back touch pad does open up new avenues in gameing, as well as the fact that it does make web browseing and surfing easyer compared to when i tryed to do so on the PSP. And the Cameras do offer the abbility to play agmented realtiy games with the cards that are provided with the Vita, and as i type this ther are three agmented reality games that can be downloaded for free on the PSN (Or SEN as it will be called soon enuth.)

As far as backward compatability, the Vita can play downloaded PSP games thou some like Phantasy Star Universe Portable are unable to be played on it (Thou thankfully i am abble to play Persona 3 Portable.) so if your PSP collection is compleatly physical, you may want to hold on to it untell you are ready to switch up, Unfortunitly you cant play downloaded PS1 games like you could on the PSP, so if you like playing a copy of Final Fantasy VII on the go, then hold on to your PSP. Also i have heard about people bitching about the memory cards, and i would like to say that the PSP had memory cards as well. The only differnce was that durring the time of the PSP ther was a cheap third party option offered by San disk becuase ther were cameras in the market that used the Sony Pro-duo memory cards.

I know a few guys at school who are playing it. They say its really nice with its bigger screen and better handling. It also feels really durable too, but easily scratched if you drop it.

The downside is that they say its not completely compatible with all the games available on the PSN. That worries me for reasons that I don't want to feel as if I wasted my money on something that could'nt protect my current investment into the PSN store.
