Gaming Heavily considering a Vita. Convince me that its worth it.

You know what, I say it's not worth it yet. Vita seems all really cool in the begin, it is a really neat and powerful device for sure. But it lacks on a lot of points, it misses the huge library of games, the vita also misses the support from 3rd parties.(they jumped ship to the 3DS)

I think it's better to wait and check out what Sony does at gamescom this year. They promised a Vita special right?

My friend has one hes willing to let go of for cheap enough that even i am willing to get it. I have some questions that I feel you all can answer. All responses will be graded on content and helpfulness.

1. Gaemz. I looked though the library of games and I really didnt see anything that JUMPED out at me. I dont see and essentials list for the Vita yet, so i think im still allowed to ask what games are worth playing.

2. How are PSP games handled? Are all the PSP games available on the PSN store?

3.And if i already have a PSP UMD theres no way to verify that i have it and either rip it to the storage card or get a discount from the Store? I just have to buy it again, full price?

4. Hackmoding? I know this isnt the right section to ask this, but i figured i want to keep things organized. So from what I understand, PSP mode is "hacked" and available but you HAVE to have the right shop titles to allow for it? And if Sony takes it down i cant get to my PSP mode hack?

5. Now, i know that games are going to look better thanks to the awesome OLED screen. But what about PSP games and stuff. Are they upscaled at all? I remember someone (guild maybe?) saying that he redownloaded Dissidea 012 and the graphics were... enhanced? I could be totally off my rocker here.

BONUS: Why the fop is the white one so dang expensive? It looks amazing but NOOOO you have to pay $350 for it.

1. Gravity Rush, Uncharted, Persona 4, Metal Gear HD,
2. Not all. Sony add new ones but slowly.
3. No
4. No Vita-Mode hacks. There are PSP-mode hacks but they only play homebrew.
5. When playing a PSP title, hold the touch screen and when the settings comes up, turn off color space. Then the games would look more vivid and colorful.

If anything I would buy it from this guy: http://myworld.ebay.com/worldsbestdeals?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

I've brought 3 so far all perfect condition and only paid less than 150$ for them. Just make sure to check the details since you could get lucky and get a 3G/Wifi one with 8Gb for only 150$.

1) Disgaea 3 if you love the series this one is amazing and comes with all the DLC so well worth the money and comic relief. 20$ for hundreds of hours and around 20 hours to just get through the story mode (without the DLC)
