@lSpam Have any of them melted yet? Otherwise it wouldn't be a worthy successor to the PS3 launch.

Haha, I don't think they mind tbh. It'll just show as 'lasting sales figures' for their other games for when you finally pick them up :P

@CaramelZappa I gotta agree with the fact that the slide pads are actually quite nice. My only slight issue with it/them at the moment is when you're doing something stressfully face-paced with lots of hard motions, I find myself losing grip at times. I noticed the WiiU slide pads for example remedy this with a grip-ring of sorts, but for now the 3DS's circle pad in my mind is a huge improvement of the 'nub' like system that the PSP (and other devices) use[d]. As I said, with a teeny bit more grip, I would have no qualms over the circlepad/stick debate.

@Dcmac I'm sure he's enjoying the one and only account he needs that's tied to that system wherein he can download whatever he wants from the eShop, and do a system transfer if ever necessary. It's also not restricted to one memory card, so he can buy as many inexpensive (any capacity) SD cards and swap them out as he so pleases with all of his downloads on the go. Ultimately the downlaod service ends up being a much more affordable experience. It's kinda ... well ... awesome - and I genuinely hope Sony patches this 'fault' in their software design for the sake of Vita owners worldwide.

@CaramelZappa

The game DOESN'T NEED this peripheral though - this is just an optional extra which will makes the controls 'easier' for those accustomed to conventional dual-analog. The touch screen has somewhat of a built in 'app' within the game if you either don't want to use this device, or simply want the retain portability.
