  • The PlayStation Vita had a lackluster life in terms of sales and overall impact, but it was a really cool, unique and interesting console that had its potential squandered by a lack of games. The PS Vita didn't fail... Sony failed the Vita.

At the end of the day i paid $275(with gift cards for 299$ bundle version with 8gb. I see it as i saved 25 plus no tax (should have been another 20 30 bucks) Effectively paid 275 for 320 msrp price so $45 or more saved.

      @Tony Stark there is absolutely no risk in hacking the console, you don't need the propiaritary memory card anymore, you can use micro SD.
      Other advantages are:
      The PS Vita emulation on the Ps1 games is official and build by Sony, it's pretty much perfect; the same goes for Psp emulation. I found it easier to set up that any emulator on a pc and many times more precise.
      The hombrew scene is quite amazing, now you can even build a ducking station similar in functionality to the Switch and use a PS4 controller.
      A good built of retroarch, remote play, a laaarge catalog of Indie games and more.

    One of the cool features that many people overlooked with the Vita's remote play with the PS3 & PS4 is that both of those consoles have DNLA connections. So you can connect them to a PC, laptop, or tab.
    You can therefore have remote access, through the Vita, to your videos, pics, and music that you have saved on your PC, laptop, or tab!

    My jaw dropped to the floor, I promptly but politely told the salesperson I was going to have to cancel the sale because i could not justify spending so much on such little storage.

Now I use it almost every day and I love my little Vita, fun fact, I went to Finland back in March thanks to the Erasmus+ Program and I took both my Vita and my New 3DS XL with all my games, I ended up using the Vita more than the 3DS in both home and in traveling around the city of Tampere by bus and I went back to my country on June and in both flights I was playing my Vita for nearly all of the flight, I even caught a Shiny on Pokemon Emerald on the flight to Helsinki!.

Works great for say, Fallout 4, not so great for other games like FFXV. Really depends on things like control layout, if custom controls are there, and also the HUD and text size. It has a ton of JRPG games though, and I still have my memory card loaded up with quite a few PS+ games back when PS+ gave you excellent triple A titles every month. I also have quite a few PSone games on it and its really good for going back to those gems.

    I still have mine that I bought late 2014.
    Now if I could find a way to fix the drifting analogue stick that cropped up a year or so ago.

    Watching vita vids lately, this one shows up in my feed. Hey, turns out 91tech is a good looking guy!

    The Vita's GPU, PowerVR SGX 543 MP4 is basically the same as the GPU on Apple A5x. The performance isn't good enough for AAA games.

      Look what they managed with that hardware (killzone looks great today). Make no mistake, lack of sales resulted in lack of impetus for AAA game development, not lack of power.

    Hello, I have been playing my Vita since around 2012 or 2013? I only play MLB The Show. 2015 was the last year is was available on Vita. The 2020 MLB Show looks good for what I like to do. It appears (per your channel) I will need to buy the Nintendo Switch system, and then buy and load up (when it's available) MLB The Show 20. Any thoughts or comments on running MLB The Show 20 on Switch would be appreciated. However I feel you video information has already been a great source.
