Vita Demo Units Show Up at Best Buy

Demo units are among the most important sales mechanics in the world of games hardware. There’s no telling how many consoles and handhelds were sold as a direct result of a browsing customer laying hands on the technology; this is especially true of handheld units, which you really need to hold to understand.

According to Destructoid, a couple of Vita demo units have shown up in a Best Buy in Connecticut. The games were equipped with small memory cards and the Little Deviants launch title (no Uncharted?!). Unlike the usual demo setup, these devices aren’t nailed to a wall or promotional stand and instead roam the store in the hands of employees.

There’s no word on how quickly Best Buy will be rolling the devices out nationwide, but it’s a fair bet you’ll be seeing them in your local store soon enough. If you want to get your hands on a Vita, the best thing to do is call the store to see if the demos are out.

Do you think trying a Vita in person will change your buying plans?

People are going to think it's being targeted to casual gamers with Little Deviants, and it won't show off the power of the PSVita.

When they went to San Francisco, people were impressed by the graphics then the device itself. Their second impression the the 2 analog sticks and the back touch pad, and so the front touch screen.

Guys in my Gamestop they have it too. The feeling is like funny like very twitch in the analog stick (feels like PS3 except you can't press it). But the demo was tight. I enjoy the Vita with Uncharted. But I'm expecting Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
