So, what are people's thoughts on this?
Honestly, while I like the concept in broad strokes (cheaper Vita alternative, and on a bigger screen!), to me it feels like something Sony rushed out quickly. For one, the fact that it's gonna use Dualshock 3s for control means that games with mandatory touchscreen/back-touchpad controls are out of the question, at least so far. Secondly, this will STILL use the fuck-off expensive proprietary memory cards, so unless you get a bundle and/or Sony decides to give this fucker internal memory, you STILL won't be able to play games without buying external memory at a hideously-inflated price.
