go for it for the VITA is one most support for homwbrew and psp, psone etc.
Don't forget to get an SD2Vita adapter and a micro SD card, as the prices of the OEM memory cards are high and with less storage capacity...Just bought my PS Vita today! It's a PCH-1003. I've already installed CFW 3.60 HENkaku/enso + Adrenaline. And I'm lovin' it!
Now I just need no buy a new memory card with a large capacity, as the one that came with the console is the 4GB version from Sony.
Thanks a lot to everyone that shared their thoughts in this post. It helped me to made my decision.
No regrets so far!

You don't have to buy a huge memory card, keep your actual one as a backup and look at SD2Vitas

Yeah, I've got all excited and just ordered a SD2Vita from Amazon and a micro SD (128GB). Now I need to learn the best way to add game backups.
Any tips?
pkgj is probably the most convenient. it downloads and installs the games through the normal method, the bgdl.
Thanks for the suggestion! I've installed 2 games in my Sony's 4GB memory card while I'm waiting for my SD2Vita and new SD Card that arrive tomorrow, I hope...
I've also installed a couple of homebrew apps, like PKGj, Vita Homebrew Browser, Autoplugin and Autoplugin 2.
Do you know how I can clear the cache from PKGj? Every time I open it it takes a lot of memory from my memory card and that is not being restored back for some reason.
I have also another question: once the Adrenaline is installed and working, can I delete the file 661.pbp (the original firmware) from the PSPEMUCFW folder? Or is it needed there to make Adrenaline work?
Many thanks!
I don't understand your first question. what do you mean taking memory from your memory card? do you mean that you delete something and it doesn't come back?
yes, you can delete the file. I update adrenaline today, and I deleted the file as well.
the cache lists are in the pkgi folder iirc. I don't know why you keep losing data.
1 - Make sure to not use Autoplugin, it can corrupt your config, needs to be updated on every plugin update and doesn't even download the plugins but instead is bundling them.Thanks for the suggestion!

2 - Your cache can be deleted (see previous comments), make also sure to clean your "bgdl folder on your memory card as it can contain some residues from failed installation (can give you a lot of space back) (keep the bgdl folder but delete everything inside it, it will be recreated when needed)
3 - Yes you can delete the firmware PUP, you can update Adrenaline inside the PSP system settings anyways.
