Unless, of course, it IS a joint venture by B&N and Gamestop, and it's going to be full of ads and such for both stores (kind of like the Kindle w/ Special Offers, but more "in your face" with ads).
The Playstation Vita is being released at $250.

Handheld gaming devices like the PSV and 3DS pack smaller batteries because they are more compact than tablets. The 3DS has a 1300 mAh battery compared to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 which has a 7700 mAh battery.
