Fun color of the revised Vita 2000 (Slim model)
Vita is an underrated console. A handle of AAA games were supported in the early years, but smaller studios have really kept the Vita alive the past few years. This model is the Japan exclusive orange slim model. The slim model features a lighter overall weight and a revised button layout. American buyers should be advised that the Vita is region free; thus NA and PAL releases of games will work natively with the hardware. Also of note, the "O" and "X" buttons are inversed from American and Japan. Read full review...

Banged up unit
Screen has lot of small scratches.. back side has lot of small scratches. Worn out color of the joysticks. Still have not powered on the unit as i have been busy....I feel i paid a lot (199$) for this banged up unit. I knew it was a USED unit but pictures did not show the actual usage. I paid extra bucks for priority shipping.. reached on time.. but the unit was not as expected.. Read full review...

Excellent
I love this thing. I am not a huge Playstation fan and even less of a Vita fan but this "slim" version is absolutely stunning. This is what the Vita should have been all along. The original is beautiful as well but I find this one is on another level.
I got mine in orange as it's my favorite color and man is it amazing. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
As far as a system is concerned, if you liked the Vita, this is just a slightly remodeled Vita. It is the same without the Oled screen which I don't think added too much to a screen that size, except making the system more expense than it needed to be.
I liked my original Vita fine but I never really used it. This one however, I want to actually play. Interesting how a small redesign and gorgeous color makes me want to use this device I've basically ignored for 4 years when I already owned one. Read full review...

Best handheld on market
I am biased.. i love the PSVita and have been in love with it from day one. I actually own several units because i always want one available where ever i am. (I dont sit still very well if I am waiting somewhere like a doctors office. :-) )
The PSVita is for me the perfect shape for my hands. I am an adult female with average size female hands (medium) but have carpal in both hands. The square units such as the Nintendo DS cause my hands to fall asleep (yes I still own one for all the mario games. :-) ) But I spend far more time with the PSVita. There is a huge assortment of games. yes the Nintendo handhelds have a larger spread of games, but who can really play them all? There comes a point of 'how many games available' is not really an issue. When a unit has enough selection, you are good to go.
I am very disappointed by Sony's decision to axe the Vita. The Vita will still be relevant for some time so no worries in buying one and having some fun. One of the biggest issues is that on all of Sony's products use propriertaty memory. And Sony upcharges the cost to crazy amounts. And the PSVita has its on lititle memory line. No swapping with your Sony camera memory. So if you are considering purchasing a PSVita, go ahead and bite the bullet and purchase a 64GB memory card and you will be set. Amazon runs about $104 currently. I purchase the 64GB when i purchase any of my Vita's and have yet to run out of download room. You can purchase smaller gigabite sizes but just be prepared to constantly have to swap out memory cards when you go play a game that happens to be on the memory card not in your Vita. To me that is a hassle so i just suck it up and get the 64gb card. Consider how much games can cost and then it doesnt seem that much of a price.
Also i highly recommend getting the Playstation Plus annual subscription especially if you own another Playstation console like PS3 or PS4. You will have access to free games every month on all of your units and can play them as long as you keep your membership going. Its a win win. It runs about $50 a year; well worth it.
If you are on the line, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the PSVita. One feature i like are the video channel apps you can download free and watch game play. Great help if you are stuck in a game.
As you can see.. I absolutely love the PSVita.
And last, dont worry about purchasing one from Japan. You can change the language easily to English. I have purchased two units from Ebay seller nyankichi2009. Highly recommend! Fast shipping and just overall wonderful Ebay seller.Read full review...

Awesome!
The only think i dont like is that it is imported from japan so the O and the X buttons are swtched on some games but for most games they are switched back to normal. The color is beautiful and delivery was sooo fast!! Read full review...

Got what i pad for
Got what I paid for. I was thinking it was gonna be brand new but I got a used refurbished one I think. Not complaining tho. It came with a screen protector and seems to work fine.

It came broken, joysticks and directional pad have kinda if their own.
The L3 and R3 joysticks as well as the directional pass do not work correctly. From the get go... They move on their own making it impossible to play games correctly making the thing a $130 paper weight. Very disappointed!!!! Read full review...

Excellent piece of hardware!
High Sony quality! Tons of games w/ great graphics on the go. This item can be modded as well to expand your library of software even further. The price of these units will only go up as time passes being that Sony discontinued their production...Read full review...
