Beautiful PSVita

It looks good in photos, but even better in person. It came in an undamaged box with all the accessories: charger, manual, battery. It was a new, unused product.

Firmware 3.61. Purchase date 12/9/18

Headline says it all. Came brand new and with a firmware that is workable.

IN-DEPTH VITA REVIEW

This was my first purchase buying from a non amazon-fufilled seller (Premium-Japan) and also importing something from outside the US. The item was shipped in 2 days but was processing through customs for a week and to my suprise was in perfect condition. No Scratches or dents anywhere! Brand New condition and would purchase from this seller again. That being said I personally hate the cheap glossy black of the vita slim and dont really like or care for the other matte colors, so i decided to go with the silver color and out of all the colors feels and looks the most "premium". I know its plastic painted silver but for some reason the texture just feels like metal and i like that. The color is exactly like the ps4 silver controller, so you can use that as a reference. The ps vita is a great portable console. I would argue is a better console than the nintendo 3ds in every way. But the ps vita is pretty much dead in the US due to poor business decisions (like the overprice memory cards you NEED to buy) so there are next to none games comming out except for japanese titles and indie games. But what you do have is a vast catalog of great ps vita games (including collections of ps2's greatest such as jak and daxter, ratchet and clank, sly, and god of war) from its early years, psp games, and some ps1 games that you can get dirt cheap pre-own or download them off psn when they have dirt cheap deals. People complain about the ps vita slims downgrade to an LCD screen instead of the OLED screen on the original vita but it really isnt an issue at all. No picture or video will do the ps vita slim's screen justice, you really have to see it with your own eyes. What I did notice is that the slim has a tiny hint of yellow compared to the original vita that you won"t notice unless you have them side by side. The original vita's OLED screen is better, has better colors, more contrast, deeper blacks but has major problems on pretty much all original vitas (for more info just google ps vita oled problems amd look at the images) that inclues screen burn-in, dead pixels, and black spots appearing. I had an original vita that started developing black spots so i personally had to deal with. The vita slim trades the arguably ""better""OLED screen for a smaller profile, better battery life, micro usb (so you dont need a power brick and wire combo like the old one just plug your in phone charger that's laying around), and better redisign like the touchpad being smaller on the back and making the grips bigger. This is how i would explain if you should get the vita slim or not: If you never got a ps vita get the slim If you got the original vita and nothing is wrong with it there is no need to upgrade unless the micto usb and battery life really matter to you If your original vita broke or got lost like me get the slim I dont really notice the screen difference unless i'm looking for it.

Love PS Vita!

Purchased a used-like new from seller TOKI corp. with FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) in original box with all accessories included. Box was nicely wrapped and taped up, felt like a brand spanking new product when I received it. The device is in better condition than expected and works great! Small hairline scratch on the back which was only noticeable once I observed in under a bright flashlight. Nothing to worry to much about as it does not hinder the device's performance. Device came with 3.7 firmware so ask sellers before making purchases on these PS Vita as they are no longer in production in Japan. This PS Vita will be strictly for remote play so firmware is not of importance to me. I usually only purchase used devices from Amazon as seller but so glad I found a gem within the seller listings. Extremely happy with this device and for the price it was a steal of a deal compared to the actual brand new and even some used listings in worse conditions! Thanks to another reviewer I was also able to find a case for my new PS Vita with the Hori grip attachment. Case is 'ADVANTUS Large Soft-Sided Pencil Case, Fabric with Zipper Closure, Black (67000)' - ASIN B004I2KI3U.

A must buy for anyone looking to use remote play or any gaming on the go!!!!!

I love this thing so much I bought it really just for remote play because my wife and daughter are always on the tv so this was my perfect solution I love and if you connect it with your PS4 DIRECTLY it will work great in remote play

If you’re thinking about it? GET IT

Ordered mine for 148$ by the seller R&R electro. I’ve been eyeing the Vita for some time in order to play Persona 4 Golden. The console is so light weight, the display is so crisp and dynamic. I’m so stoked that I could connect my PSN with it too. I was nervous that wear and tear would be bad, but this condition is so pristine. This is my first Vita and I’m so so so so sooo excited to play this game through this medium! All I’ve got to say is that I’m really freaking impressed, and there’s a reason why the reviews on this particular product are so positive

Matte is the Best

I love silver, and I appreciate that this console is matte, not glossy. This is an import from japan, meaning O is confirm and X is cancel, which is the opposite from NA region PlayStation consoles. However, that's the only difference. You can still access your regions psn and the Vita is region free so it can play any games.

This will make a fine addition to my collection

This is the second Vita I picked up here from Amazon. For the price you really can't go wrong. These usually average $150-$200 for a used console with maybe a game or two on eBay, and are generally in poor shape or the firmware has been updated so you can't install Henkaku. I took a gamble on this one based on previous reviews and the Q & A section, and was pleasantly surprised to find not only was this a brand new unused unit but it also has the desired firmware version (3.63) I was looking for. Only issue I found was that the outer box for the console itself took some damage (pictured) either in storage or during shipping/handling. The shipping box remained unscathed however. The color & finish on this unit is superb, it has a nice matte shimmery silver color that won't be a fingerprint magnet. If you are on the fence about scooping up one of these consoles, stop thinking about it and just pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed.

Any region can enjoy this Vita

It's a Vita, if you're looking it up now, you probably know what you're gonna get. I highly recommend the Hori L2/R2 grip to accompany this. Anyways, if you're a PS+ subscriber you may already have a library a Vita games. Check. Unfortunately, soon new ones will stop being given away for Vita, but I already have a ton of decent games thanks to PS+. Remote Play could be better, but when you're in range it feels solid. The battery life isn't much to worry about, in my experience. You get plenty of mileage and Vita 2000 did away with the proprietary charge port and opted for micro-usb. This was a big deal for me. I love my Vita. Only issue is that they stuck with the proprietary memory cards. Those are expensive. My recommendation is to just suck it up and go 32 or 64GB. Anything less will fill up too quick.

Firmware 3.63 purchased 12/10/2018

Came with firmware needed to do desired activities. Has worked out very well and the homebrew scene is very impressive.
