Gaming What should I do with my Vita? Other than use it to collect dust.

[lavera]

I have a 2.02 Vita with the TN-V Uno exploit (PSP mode) and I have 3 Vita games - Uncharted, Gravity Rush and Project Diva F. I've barely used my Vita for a while now and all it does is collect dust. I have completed Uncharted and Gravity Rush twice now and PDF doesn't really interest me anymore. I barely use the PSP mode, only to play Black Rock Shooter when the English version first came out. On the side note, I already have a PSP 2000 but the charger is broken so I can't use it. So I don't really know what to do with it and I was hoping to get advice from some of the 'tempers.

I already have a few options:

• Update to 2.61 and subscribe to PlayStation Plus for a year and get loads of free games! But the Vita only get around 3 free games I think and the games chosen are random (I may or may not like any of the game). Since I have a PS3 on CFW, I don't really need free PS3 games from PS+. So I may end up paying $50 USD for 3 games I may or may not like.. Not to mention I'll also lose access to the Uno exploit.
• Buy retail Vita game. But none of them really interest me now and I may even be forced to update my Vita (not sure) hence lose access to the Uno exploit.
• Stay on 2.02 and do nothing with the Vita.
• Just update to 2.61 and still do nothing with the Vita.

Lumines
Little King's Story
Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention
Little Big Planet
Persona 4
Ys: Memories of Celceta

@Layera,

MaGosT is absolutely right. That's why I dont like those list and I am not getting Vita: Save my money for other system such as PS4, Wii U, PS3, or 3DS since some of the games I really like very much. You need to think twice before buy any systems because games are the key to your liking first. I do not have Wii U yet because I find a few games to my liking and I dont want to buy it just yet until there is more games. Maybe this time I will buy Wii U for m few games to my liking because of Zelda Wind Waker HD bundle with Wii U. I don't know yet.

Yeah, the thing is I bought my Vita overseas over 6 months ago, it was a really good deal actually. In my country the cheapest Wi-fi Vita I can find is around $375 USD and I bought mine for only about $235 USD, including 4GB memory card and a crystal case. I just couldn't pass the chance! And when I first bought it I couldn't stop playing Uncharted and Gravity Rush (which I bought there too). But now my current games are getting stale and I just don't know what to do with it anymore. Games are really hard to find and really expensive in my country, even a Deluxe Wii U set currently costs about >$500 USD! Its a pain really.

Get PSPlus and start getting games monthly. You'll get 2-3 games a month and the cheapest subscription will last you for 3 months - that's 6-9 games for $50, I wouldn't call that a bad bargain. If you won't like the service, sell the system.

I personally can't understand people who can't find anything that suits their tastes in the library, as of today I have:

Thanks for the list man. I've had my eyes set on some of the games but I've also played some of them on the PS3. Yeah, 6-9 games in 3 months is not a bad bargain. Now I'm really considering upgrading to PS+. I have a question though. What is the average size of a Vita game? I only have a 4GB memory card. How many games can I have at once?

Also, I have never ever sold any game that I own.

4GB is not a whole lot. Games range between a few MB's for minigames and go up to even 3GB's for triple-A titles. If I were you, I'd consider getting a 32GB memory card before getting Plus - you'll need it for all the monthly games. I bought one when I started with Plus a couple months back and I've ran out of space already - it's a tight squeeze when you get so many but at least it keeps you busy... after all, once you finish a game, you get more space for another.

If you can't afford one right now, fret not - you can "purchase" games and re-download them later when you have the free space - they do not expire and re-activate once you continue your subscription.

Hmm I see.. I'll consider this more then. I'm currently updating my Vita to 2.61. Thanks for the advice, really help me a lot. Once I have made my decision I'll get back here to tell you how it goes. Thanks for the advice everyone! I really appreciate it! Glad I asked here!
