R3000 for a handheld mobile gaming device is a bit much. Jeesh, I recently bough an Xbox NEW for R2500...makes you think....although the xbox is not mobile and "old" in the market by now, still...
On top of that, people willing to spend that kind of money on a gaming device for the most part have jobs...work most of the day...so time for "mobile gaming" is very limited. Unless you travel a lot.
Lastly, I will gain trust in the "PSP/VITA" platform again when they start releasing proper, dedicated games for the unit, and not ported PS3 games.
