Watching a system with a dumb name that's trying to do more than it needs to and ultimately fail is sort of a fun thing for me.

Which is why I own a Vita and post in the thread.
Honest curiosity, what's dumb about the name Vita? Maybe it's because i'm german, but it sounds really nice to me.

Nothing wrong with it, and not anywhere near as bad as names like Gizmondo or Game.com. I'll take something like Vita over either of those in a heartbeat. It's just also not a very interesting name.

It appears to be this one, though I remember it having pictures, including the one of the $1.2 million exotic car destroyed by the Gizmondo CEO drunk driving while posing as an anti-terrorist officer. I can't make this poo poo up.

Did they also not have a more expensive 3G model as their primary model, and a prohibitively expensive proprietary memory card? Because I think that was a bigger problem than the name.

If anything, this current handheld generation had prices usually start out at £35. It's good to see that it's gone down as we enter the tail end of this handheld generation, though.

That said, I first found out about SK because of street passing on my 3DS, some weirdo who went into a McDonald's kept popping up on my list with that as his last played game.

Course now I'm the weirdo that has it, so, yeah...

Anytime I find someone who has 3DS SK games, I ask them for money to support a drug habit, because they clearly don't mind throwing it away on bad decisions.
