I have to say, the PSVita is a very underrated handheld console. It's one of the best I've ever owned! You can download most Ps1 and PSP games from the playstation store, the games you can buy for it are just beyond amazing. Had to get this console because of the Metal Gear HD collection, the God of War collection, and Final Fantasy X & X-2 as well as Final Fantasy 7 that you can download for 10 bucks in the playstation store. The battery life on this is great! Lasts way longer than the 1st gen PSvita but of course doesn't have the same display as the original but still looks amazing, hard to really notice. The only downside to these are the memory cards. They are super expensive. The size I would recommend for people only buying physical games and a couple download games would be the 16GB memory card, anything lower is not too good and anything higher would just be a waste of money. You could get away with the 8GB, but best to be safe with the 16GB. The PSvita Slim has a 1GB capacity without the memory card also so you can still play and save a few games on it without the memory card at least. Read full review

For being a 10 year old heldheld without much love from Sony, the ps vita has managed to remain relevant albeit in the shadow of the more powerful, modern, and popular Switch. Although Sony essentially has abandoned the ps vita 2 years ago, the ps vita has an impressive library of games with a handful of triple A titles that are at par with with its bigger brother the Playstation 3, and quirky and unique games like tearaway that utilizes the vita's many special features such as the front and rear touch screen and motion sensor. But, not only does the vita have a rather large library of games, but it also is backwards compatible with Sony's large catalog of previous generation of consoles such as the almost the entire catalog of games for the PlayStation Portable, in addition, to the Playstation 1, a few titles for the Playstation 2 and some ports for the Playstation 3. As you can see the Ps Vita with its twin analog joystick is an extremely versatile, yet under appreciated system. Nonetheless, there is still a cult following of the little handheld that Sony has essentially has forgotten, and that cult following blossomed with the introduction of CFW which opened the doors wide open for the ultimate experience what the ps vita is truly capable of doing. With CFW, the ps vita ultimately became the ultimate retro gaming handled on the go. Imagine having access to the entire library of games ranging from the Snes, NES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance , Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, Mame, the entire neo geo library, CPS1, CPS2, and dozens of more retro gaming goodness all displayed in a beautiful OLED screen. So, is the ps vita still a legitimate purchase in 2021 and beyond? My responce is yes it is most definitely!!!!Read full review

I have always been a PS fan since the beginning, So for a joint birthday present to both myself and husband we got a vita. The touch screen is sensitive, easy to use and the screen is vivid and clear. The rotation feature is also pretty cool. In an improvement from the psp the 2 analog sticks instead of 1 makes gameplay closer to a regular ps3's which is nice. Graphics are awesome, comparable to ps3. One thing I am not happy with is the "cross platform" there are only 3 or so games, which I knew when I bought it, however it is still disappointing on sonys part, not to mention their ad's for that feature make it seem a lot cooler and like you can do it with any game. The browser is fast when I'm connected to wifi (didnt get 3g) and I do like the set up of the home screen. No customization options that I can find for backgrounds though, and that would be kind of nice. I have a DS but not a 3DS and a psp. compared to those, the vita wins hands down.Read full review
This machine is great, the hardware is indeed amazing and I would recommend getting this and either model is good. The lack of games is the only hard sell, if there were more titles that were exclusive then this would take off how the PSP did but due to the only games that are out are ports of the PS3 games that are already available, it's hard to justify the purchase. There are a few for each genre but unless there is one on there you just need to have, it's a hard sell unless you get it at a really good price. The screen is great, the touch sensor is very responsive on both front and rear screens. The device is a good weight so it feels comfortable, and the buttons/analog sticks are in very good positions. The only thing you need extra is a memory card and a screen protector, and a good case is highly recommended to prevent unwanted scratches when not in use.Read full review
I have the PSP and was going to hold out for the vita price to drop but got a really good deal at auction. The system is pretty awesome! The graphics are great, the controls smooth, although there are alot of them which will take some getting used to. I opted for the wi fi only because it is the cheaper alternative by far, not only for the system, but the 3G plan is through AT&T which is just another added expense that will never go way. I have WiFi in my house which is good enough for me. If I were to have any criticism about this system it would be these: 1)The piano black finish which sony insists on using is a fingerprint magnet (although much worse on the psp 3000) 2)The battery cannot be replaced-unlike the psp, we shall see, although it seems to have worked for nintendo for years Overall, a good system, great remains to be seen as the library of games is still on the low side and many were made quickly for the launch date so they do not utilize many of the vita's features. The best handheld system to date by far (the 3ds gives me a headache) and the graphics blow the 3ds out of the water. I would suggest it as a good buy, lotsa fun.Read full review
