I paid around $120 plus a bunch of used DS games I never played. I got it at launch, so it was a pretty good deal. I have had fun with it, but it has been off for a long time now. I accidentally dropped it on the street once (where it proceeded to skid down a hill for a few feet), now there is a chunk missing out of the top of the right bumper and some scratches along the back. That made me sad. Oh, this was wifi only btw, they didn't have the 3g ones when I bought it.

Bought a used PS Vita Wifi+3g for only 161 USD.
Too bad there's no serial number, the stickers had been removed.
No box, no AR cards. LOL. 3g is useless since it's locked to taiwan 3g.

So far, no problems on the unit.
It came with the following items:
16gb memory
Reality Fighters
Uncharted GA
Wipeout 2048
Ridge Racer
Unit 13

Overall, I think it's a good deal especially with the free games it came with and memory.
No hidden defects or whatsoever on the device.

Wow, thats a really great price! was the vita New or used?

135$ with 8 GB Memory Card still in box perfect condition
Thats a good deal. was it just a Wifi model?
Nothing. I stole mine from Best Buy. :P No, I won't buy one; they're too expensive. 190/200 pounds for a handheld? Special editions at 250? That's almost the price of a brand new Playstation 2 or a Wii.

WTF? u serious bro? u had me thinking for a second until I saw your second post aha
I got mine off eBay lol I only use it to play Disgaea 3 on the go I haven't even brought any other games I say for every hour you play is equal to 1$ so if you play a game for over 50-60 hours you have made your money back in terms of enjoyment
I bought mine on ebay too :)
i got mine free...
only ever played uncharted on it
how did you get it for free?
btw, how is uncharted, I am thinking for buying it :)

White PSVita (WiFi) limited AC3:L edition with AC3:L cart, 4 GB memory card, 3 months PS+ and PSABR. $179.99 + $15 S&H. Sold the PS+ and PSABR codes as they were US PSN codes and I couldn't use them in the EU PSN. So all in all, it was around $130-$140 in total? Gotta love Amazon.

Gotta love P4G on it. Also played a few games to platinum (Uncharted, Rayman Origins).

Bought mine at launch for $250 along with Uncharted:GA and Wipeout, and a 8gb memory card. Few months later I realized I don't really play it much so I sold them all to a close friend for $130.

Technically (aka "according to my bill") I pay about $9 monthly for my PSVita, practically I got it for free with my Internet plan. I was given a selection of devices to choose from and I gladly chose the PSVita 3G - now my 3G Internet bill covers my portable gaming needs as well and since I'm paying whole $18 for it monthly total, I can't say I'm complaining.

FREE! Yay for birthdays, lol.

I've only really ever played Chrono Cross from PSN on it, and Persona 4 the Golden is what I bought the Vita for. I would like to play the Sonic racing game, and Touch My Katamari, and hopefully soon I'll get those games. xD

I hope you're joking or you're a complete moron. I kinda doubt you could steal a Vita though unless your Best Buy was run by rednecks who've never hurt of a lock-up or security measures before.

You didn't see my other comment where I told the guy I was joking. I guess that's two people I've gotten with this joke now... :P so, yeah, I was joking.

Edit: 3 people

Plot twist: Vita would be outselling the 3DS if people weren't stealing them.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
