well if you are a gamer then absolutely but in all honestly i do concider it a bit overrated...the games are NOT exactly current gen Console quality. maybe late ps2 early ps3 tho...I just play Mortal Kombat on the Vita and the fighting Graphics and the Video graphics are TOTALLY different.but the 360 version the videos and graphics look basically the same...so in that aspect the vita is over rated.but i am not a graphics guy as long as the games are fun! but i really wanna put the vita to the test with Uncharted...lets see how it looks!
