Here’s How The Playstation Vita Looks Compared To The DS Phat, DSi XL and 3DS

Trendy Gamers: With the release of the Playstation Vita this week, I thought it would be fun to compare the system to that of the original Nintendo DS, the DSi XL, and the 3DS. I even included comparisons of the cartridge sizes for the games, as well as a picture to show you just how small the Vita memory card is.

indeed, i love ratchet & clank! playing through crack in time on my ps3 atm and allready got all 4 one ordered and timed to arrive right after i have finished the prequel xD ( not a great fan of all 4 one but its ratchet and it still got the same feel, just a different playstyle, and i bet it will be awesome playing co-op with my family on it.

For a second there, I thought women thought the opposite. Thanks for the positive news Doc - you made my day :]

2 people are very angry with you >:|

dragunrising4444d ago

Playing with Vita and then coming back to the 3DS is jarring. I want a 3DSXL. The 5" screen on the Vita is gorgeous and might have set a new standard for handhelds (at least for me). The size doesn't bother me at all as I've never carried a DS or PSP in my pocket for fear of damaging it. I'm still deciding on the best case to buy. Suggestions?

If the Vita were smaller it wouldn't be as comfortable to hold. Great ergometrics as far as my hands are concerned.

xAlmostPro4444d ago

I got one of sonys own travel cases with my vita, it's not a hard material but it's nice and protective inside. has an area for any headphones and 4-5 slots for games to :) Cost me £10 so i'm guessing maybe 15$ if you're from the US :D

dragunrising4444d ago

@AlmostPro

I almost bought Sony's travel case/pouch you mentioned, instead I made the mistake of getting the Sony leather carrying case. I'll be returning the one I bought and getting the one you mentioned. Its $20 in the states- a little more than I want to spend but worth it :-) Thanks

The Vita is a sexy beast and love the fact that it has so much screen.

TrendyGamers4444d ago (Edited 4444d ago )

Yeah, the screen is just so awesome.

ThirstyforFanta4444d ago (Edited 4444d ago )

The 3DS is in the size of Vita's screen lol.. Vita's bigger than the PSP and the PSP itself wasn't exactly small..
Guess that's why they chose to drop the portable from the console's name

TrendyGamers4444d ago

As long as you get a nice travelling case for the Vita, it is very portable. Otherwise you'll just mess up the analog sticks by putting it in your pocket.

Raider694444d ago

dont know what you mean,but the vita screen is not bigger than the PsP.

ThirstyforFanta4444d ago (Edited 4444d ago )

Vita's screen is 5", PSP's screen is 4.3" So I don't know what YOU mean..

@TrendyGamers, do you notice how you have to always BUY things in addition to the Vita?
A pricey memory card, a charging cradle, a travelling case, a kit to transfer your old PSP games to this system.. What more?
On the 3DS, you don't need to buy anything other than the console itself..

TheFirstClassic4444d ago

@thirsty I think he meant bigger than the psp itself, not the screen.

xursz4444d ago

@thirstyforfanta On the 3DS they made you BUY the second joystick..

IRetrouk4444d ago

If you wanted to buy all that extra stuff then maybe ud b right, if not for the fact that the 3ds has all that to buy 2, the screen would scratch if you didn't buy a film cover, just from closing it, also the memory card is 2 gig, basically pointless. The screens get more dead pixels than anything, iv had to take mine back twice, it's not even been a year yet, then there's the second analog stick.... Overall I'd say they pretty much even with things you "have" to buy

Nitrowolf24444d ago

ever hear of a Laptop?
Portable =/= fit in pockets

forevercloud30004444d ago

The Vita fits perfectly in my leather jacket inner pocket.

smashcrashbash4444d ago

Yeah maybe you should get your eyes checked. The DS has two parts to it, which makes it still bulky even when it all closed up. I don't remember the DS fitting very well in my pocket either.

SilentNegotiator4444d ago (Edited 4444d ago )

Remember the original Gamebo....nah, you're not likely old enough.

But anyway, it was a monster. But still a success, even before the gameboy pocket came along.

You want a portable system that isn't portable?
Here's 'spiderman', pulling a system that could pass as a sawed off shotgun, out of his spartan-pit sized pocket.

RacingLightning014443d ago

HUH? People carry around net books, and tablets now, both considerably larger than the Vita. Seriously... How small are you?

BattleAxe4444d ago

Those Nintendo portables look like a bunch of scrap plastic compared to the VITA.

k-dillinger4444d ago

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5216d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5216d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212116d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

MrNinosan16d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5215d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5215d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Barlos17d ago

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani16d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum16d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman16d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim16d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

I disagree Batman
