    PSP's hardly ever break. even they break the main components are still good. Ive fixed close to 100 psp's, their hardware is very solid. However PSVita's have so many issues that cannot be easily fixable.

    Personally, I recommend getting a second Vita to mod. That's what I did... I keep one stock and modded another one. That way, I can play all of the Vita, PSP, and PS1 games on the Vita. The two sticks really helps with certain PSP games. They all run perfectly on the Vita. Also, it runs a TON of emulators if you are into retro gaming. I literally have thousands of games on my Vita with a 512GB card pretty much completely full. Yeah, I'm insane. lol :-) Anyway, I agree that the PSP has a great library, but the fact that you can ALL of them on the Vita was enough for me to put my PSP on the shelf and mod one of my Vitas. Totally worth it.

    Out of the box, the PSP is slightly superior, purely because of the games. If you mod both, though, the PS Vita is so much better it's not even funny.
    Compatibility for way larger SD cards, all of the Vita, PSP and PS1 games natively on the gorgeous capacitive touch screen, limited run games (they were basically made with the Vita in mind), better feeling dual analogs, way better battery life, huge library of ports and homebrew apps, video output using only a USB cable, way more premium feeling hardware and gyro functionalities. The only thing a modded PSP has over a modded Vita is the portability, it's even smaller than the Vita but that comes with its own amount of problems. Plus, you could argue the Vita is more portable because the 2000 (pretty sure the 1000 too) is slimmer than most PSP models, except for the GO.

    Do you find the speakers on the PSP sound a lot nicer than the Vita's? I got an used FAT PS Vita like 4 years ago and I like it, BUT its speakers sound really dull. I don't know if its normal or if my Vita is busted, because both of my PSPs (1000 and 3000) beat it by a lot in terms of sound quality.

      @AllHailTheYatta Před měsícem +1

      ​@@arctic-the-fox yeah, they mean a modded PSVita. If I'm being honest, unless you're a collector, the PSVita is kinda like the Wii U in 2024, there's no reason to keep one around if it's not modded. That's the only way to get the full experience and value out of the PSVita. Normally, I would support buying games straight from the store to not only support developers but to also give Sony a reason to keep the store open for longer but especially lately, it feels like they're doing it just because they have to, not because they're passionate about the PS3's and PSVita's longevity. They're letting both stores fall apart on their own, games randomly disappear and are only accessible through the search results or even worse, nowhere at all.
      They could just roll out a patch with some quality of life features and a fully working PS store and I would totally support keeping your PSVita on stock software but since that's not going to happen, the community is making up for them.
