Trade in Ps Vita

I was one of the few that had high hopes for the vita on release..a ps3 in my pocket i thought. Well i didn't think it through too much to be honest. I now find myself wanting good games for it but there aren't enough in sight any time soon. Idk maybe SOMEDAY there might be but im getting tired of waiting for them. In the mean time it sits on my shelf collecting dust never to be touched. Its a shame cause i love the hardware and itd be fun to use if it just had the games. On top of it all the games that are out are all just ports for the most part and sad ports at that. If i want the new assassins creed coming out...i'll buy it on my home console -_-
just being honest about that with myself for the first time.
I have an offer of $240 from my local game store for trade in credit on it which is almost what i paid for it $249
Im VERY tempted to trade it in and get some games and retro stuff i've been really wanting to get and stuff that i'd play a lot more.
Would it be worth it to do that or should i just let it collect dust till something worth while comes out?
(btw i had a psp before and used it for a while but never touched it again till i got rid of it)

@Tainysi Its called RU Game, the credit is due to a trade in bonus deal they have going on. Trade in anything and get an extra 30%. But they do have much better deals than gamestop. Gamestop will only give like $70 or $80

definitely worth trading in. you're getting almost full price for your vita.

@jonn is there a US release date?

Nvm i just found the release date.
Hm i suppose i'll just keep it and hope more stuff starts to come out. Knowing sony when they lower the price they'll remove features or make cheaper hardware like they did with the ps3 anyways.

@BennyAu Persona 4 looks good but my problem is... to me personally is it worth keeping a $250 console for maybe 3 games or instead getting most of the money i spent on it back and get stuff i'd use more. The vita is a amazing piece of hardware though...love the screen. Just nothing to back it up right now.

@TehRaygunicorn i didn't think about it that way lol
thats very true.
i just really want to avoid regretting trading it if they start announcing all these amazing games all of a sudden...with my luck they'd do just that haha
but i suppose thats the risk we gamers take now a days when buying new hardware as early adopters.

If you're not using it all and you will only lose nine bucks.. trade it in man

By the time games you want come out, the price of the Vita may have dropped & you'll end up profiting.. if not, you just lose nine bucks haha

I want to get the PS Vita in the future just for Persona 4, other than that it sounds like crap atm. Since there are like no good games out for it right now.
