  • Is the PS Vita still worth buying today (Posted as of October 10th, 2018)

    So, is the PS Vita worth the purchase, at the last months of it's life cycle? It really depends on how you game. Provided that you have PSN games or PSVita game cards available in your area, you're likely to find a few gems around, and at good prices (in many cases). For me, I have a variety of games, and some are imports. I recommend buying (ASIA Region), as many of those games are with an English Option (some Japanese Region aren't in English). What would make me apprehensive, is the PS Vita Memory Card format: It's cost prohibitive, and is only likely to jump in costs. While you can seek out a Henkaku "jail broken/rooted" PS Vita, the market price is almost double the usual cost of these devices. Where as current market price for a used PS Vita presently goes for $120-$150 (and new devices going for around $190-240), the Henkaku PS Vitas (used) are going for about $200-280, depending on condition and version of hardware. Another thing to consider: Unlike the Nintendo Switch? The PS Vita only allows for one PSN account. So far, I have not found a way to use multiple accounts on the same PS Vita, whereas I can store multiple accounts on my Nintendo Switch. That's a bummer, as I now have THREE DIFFERENT PS VITAS for different purposes; one is a Wifi-3G "Phat" 1100 (which I use for Japanese region gaming), one is a PS-2000 (Piano Black - That's my Henkaku PS Vita... Amazing with an SD2Vita card and 400GB MicroSD Card), and now this Electric Blue PS Vita, which can't (currently) be "rooted", so it shall be used for Asian Region games (again, because they also have games in English, that I can't normally find in US Market). The game quality is somewhat like playing on a PS3. Now, in this day, where the PS4 is reaching the latter end of it's lifecycle, you might think that is antiquated. Well, remember that this is a portable reaching it's last months of lifecycle, and that the game quality for many titles, are excellent. The portability of the PS Vita is much more convenient than the Nintendo Switch, and the some games, in my opinion, ported better to the PS Vita, than the Nintendo Switch, particularly with the JRPGs (which shine on the Vita). The fighting games work well (I'm still playing Street Fighter x Tekken regularly, among others), and unlike 3DS games, the hours of play per title seem closest to console games. A feature that some might not know is that you can even link your PS Vita to the PS4, and game that way too! (Remote Play) allows you to play your PS4 on the PS Vita without wires, on most PS4 games (look for the 'remote play' feature on the game boxes and PSN listings). So, is the PS Vita worth the purchase, at the last months of it's life cycle? Considering that you can remote play, and that there are many great titles available, I'd have to say YES, THIS IS STILL WORTH BUYING TODAY. Of course, remember that the memory cards are overpriced, and that you should check listings for decent bargains before purchasing. This is one of the rare instances, where the portable gaming system is starting to cost more, as the brand is nearing it's end of it's lifecycle, but when you consider the quality of the games, and are prepared to use the PS Vita for the style and method of gameplay, it's a hard bargain to walk away from; for classic and dedicated portable gamers alike. Oh, and one more thing... The original 1000-series PS Vitas have brighter and bolder screens, but the tend to get some odd odd splotches and spots with time, when the screen is off. It's not noticable while it's on, but it's worth noting. The 2000s use a cheaper, LED screen, but the screen quality is still pretty good, and doesn't splotch. They are ever so slightly dimmer, but again, you won't notice this while playing (unless you're used to playing on the PS Vita 1000-series handhelds).

  • Perfect :)

    I love this system, its just what i needed for on-the-go gaming :) I was able to download games to it from my PS account, and i dont even need to change cartridges :) Its like having a mini Playstaion 2 with digital games loaded on it right in my backpack :) I even got a set of headphones, and a matching case for it to keep it safe from any damage. I recommend this for anyone that wants games on the go without having to switch cartridges :)

  • Love the PS Vita

    The one I bought was on orginal PS Vita with the OLED screen. I love this thing! Get to play all sorts of wonder exclusive games for the PS Vita and some classic PS games as well. I can also use remote play to connect to my PS4 so I can play those games on the go as well!!! Sony should have really advertised this better, sine it's quite the gem of a device. Would recommend it to any PlayStation user.

  • Great Vita

    This a beautiful handheld. Blue metallic paint make it shine. Such a shame Sony doesn't support the system anymore. Still, plenty of games already on the market and in Japan. Also plays mini's and PSP games.

  • Here's a title

    It came in excellent shape, the original user's information was still present which could have been dangerous if they had left any payment info saved to it but it doesn't hurt the review, (I've since formatted the whole thing, no worries!) It was kept in perfect shape, I can't complain at all. Very happy.

  • Main concern...

    Fixed most of the issues we previously experienced with the 1001 series Vita. Ex. not connecting to the PS3/4 through remote play. Sadly it still requires a LAN to get the best results, it does function better. Big weight difference, though for that child under 10 years of age, I would highly recommend a case.

  • I love my PS VITA!

    The screen is AWSOME! Specially if you do the hack jailbreak and run PSP GAMES on it.... it ia definitely a game changer. I do not regret buying it at all! It is a really good console. I was planning on buying a PSP but this is a PSP and a PS VITA if you Jailbreak if you dont know and want free games. Contact me and I can do the Job.

  • No problems with this console so far

    Outside of the anxiety I feel every time I plug the charger into the console, I am quite pleased with what I got (it's a tight fit and it makes me feel like it'll break if I push too hard). The vita is practically new (I had to order another memory card for this one because I forgot this specific vita needed one). Overall, I am happy with this purchase.
