@kanjiman8 & @andrew – Good stuff to know! Thanks. I haven’t followed the PSP in the past, so I didn’t even know there was a Vita.
@missingno15 – haha, fair enough, sounds like they are killer apps then. :) My concern is I don’t know what sort of gotchas might be out there. I know there is a chance it might not work with the US online store, and I can make a choice of whether it’s worth the risk or not to me, so known unknowns I can factor into my choice. The unknown unknowns are what have me concerned. I’d hate to get it, and then later find that it doesn’t support or do something that I assumed was so basic that I never bothered to ask if it could do it or not. Does that make sense?
