Hardware PSVita 2000 from Japan

[barr]

Hey guys,

Looking at this website: solarisjapan(DOT)com/collections/psv/products/playstation-vita-wi-fi-model-black-pch-2003

Seems to be brand new, seeing how 3.61 came out last year, anyone here reckon this will be below or on 3.60?

I emailed them and asked, but they couldn't give me any details on firmware or manufacturing date.

any advice/tips welcome on buying Vita.

It will be 3.60. I bought a brand new 2000 series blue model from Japan 3 months ago.

Hey man,
thats my gut feeling, i think ill buy it. When I get it ill make sure to update everyone on the version.

No, no one can guarantee that it'll be on 3.60 or lower.

Sony is still producing these devices in japan. And they come with 3.63 or even higher directly from factory.
Therefore it depends how long solaris already has them in stock.

There were many reports over on reddit of people who imported from japan.

To be sure get an european or american device (yes, they are more expensive and hard to find).

When I remember it correctly I read an Article on Wololo Where he said that only some colored PS Vitas are above 3.60 and they didn't produced any new devices....

The pch-2006 models are the ones that come with 3.61. I know from experience when i imported a white slim.

That article is older than a year.
Every color can be on 3.61+.

I've imported a black one from japan (different shop / not solaris). It was on 3.63.

I think the best way of getting a PS Vita is buying one and then a mobo below or on 3.60

unfortunately, amazon wont ship that console from wololo link to me, so I was looking into other options when I stumbled on to Solaris. I guess the search continues, eBay comes to mind, ill keep a look out everywhere.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Hey guys,

I purchased a Vita from Amazon, a seller called 'Above all Gaming' based on the reviews from a few people that said it came with firmware below 3.60 or on 3.6, either way its a gamble.

Cost me 219USD.

When I get it, and if its below 3.60 ill look into buying an SD2Vita adapter (the new plastic one). until then thanks for all the help

If you are looking for a vita, i just got a mint condition 1, and just applied screen protectors on both sides, wow... i did not know it can be sold for that high...

Ill sell mine on ebay then lol

Update on the buying situation.

Purchased a console from Amazon, came from USA, "Above all Games" with 3.55, gonna look into a good memory card now.

I bought an aqua blue brand new from solarisjapan but it came with 3.65
fortunally i already have a 3.60, But i regret it, dont buy vitas on their website they have newest products
