    Pros: - OLED screen comparable to SGS2 (which means great!)
    - Feels comfortable in hand
    - Touch screen very responsive
    - Thumbsticks feel sturdy and precise
    - Amazing graphics!
    - Battery life good for "realistic" on-the-go gaming

    Cons: - PSone games "currently" not compatible
    - My US PSN PSP games not showing up either (Maybe because it's not out in US? IDK)
    - Remote play look like it's still coded for PSP (grainy look, can't play PS3 games), so no real Vita specific compatibility

    Summary: All in all, a very good start for the life of the Vita. I would have wanted full backwards compatibility from the start but such is the life of an early adopter. I am very sure that Sony will address the issues I stated in my cons list before the end of 2012 Q1, so I'll change my score to 5 stars then.

    I too noticed the missing PSP titles (and PSX) on the Vita storefront. I know that currently, the only way to get some of the PSP titles you have purchased and aren't on the Vita store is to transfer them to the Vita using a PS3. From what I've read, it seems that the other PSP games simply haven't been added to the storefront for the Vita just yet, but will be shortly. The PSX games I haven't looked into yet, but I would guess trying the same method is worth a shot.
