Landing a new PCH-2000 with BL2 and an 8 GB memory card for $75 US plus tax is an absolute bargain.
just pulled the trigger after this sales
the 64 was $85 and 32 was $60 , so i got the 64 GB
it comes with 3.30 update
i think i go all digital because PS vita games in my city is really rare
this is my first PS portable ever , so i don't know what i am doing
is there a way to sign in my PSN account without update ?

Are you skipping the update because of CFW? Because if you're not, just update it and proceed to sign in.

I don't think you can skip the update.

yes, most of it for GBA emulation
i heard the vita can't play PS1 game and you have to use custom firmware to do that
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're talking about, if you go on PSN you'll see that it does in fact play PS1 games.

I wish NA PSN had Metal Gear Solid, maybe I'd like that game then.
...Does the NA PSN have MGS?

Really wish Sony would release a new Vita with an HDMI port that would allow you to connect to an HDTV. This would kill off that horrible PlayStation TV and expand remote play and get Vita into more households.
Another thing that Sony should do is sell PS4 and Vita as a combo for $500. In fact, Sony missed a golden opportunity two years ago to this bundle. Think about it, what would you rather have? A PS4 and Vita or Xbox One and Kinect for $500?
Oh well. Maybe some day.

Well guys, the other day I decided on the original OLED VITA.
I looked at both of them side by side, and even though there was not a massive difference, the difference was enough that I wanted the OLED right away. I also liked the fact that the original is a bit heavier. People have said the build quality is better, and I agree. It'll be used indoors and plugged in the vast majority of the time so the longer battery life of the PHC-2000 did not sway me towards it. Ever since I got the PS4 at launch I've been talking about wanting the OLED Vita, so that had something to do with my decision as well.
I picked up an 8 GB memory card and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. Downloaded alot of demos. Really like Little Deviants. I remember it being shown on stage at PlayStation Meeting 2011 when VITA was revealed as NGP. That's the game that stood out, to me.
Remote Play seems to work flawlessly. At first I forgot to enable high framerate but once I did, very impressed.
Regarding PSP digital games that have been taken down from the PS Store, I really wanted to play R-Type Command. I guess there is no way around this, like finding someone who has a memory card for sale with that game on it. Would be tied to their account right?

After owning both, I don't know how I was OK with the feel of the first one. The 2000's surfaces just feel so much better, and the L/R buttons are a tremendous improvement over the original, which almost feel like they shipped unfinished. I honestly don't even notice the lack of OLED... but hey, that's just me, and I figure if someone has a Vita period, it's a good thing for the support of the platform.
It wasn't that far back, it was last year IIRC. It's a shame a lot of people missed it.
i don't know why sony patch that
did they fear they gonna get more money from us ?
what really annoying , Crash 1-3 is playable on EU account....WTF?
It's supposedly a matter of licensing. It's up to the publishers if their PS1 games are Vita-compatible, not Sony.
Eh, the Vita is the best way to play PS1 games, they look fantastic. On the PSP, not so much.
Good decision. OLED is beautiful!Well guys, the other day I decided on the original OLED VITA.

I just picked up a 2000 (already have a 1000). Is there anything special I need to know about switching to the new machine? Like, transferring stuff or whatever.

No, to my knowledge.
If there is a way though, that might keep me from double-dipping on Tearaway to bw able to play it on my NA account.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean but you can ask in the PSN thread.
A few days in, I do NOT regret it.
Still wondering if I have any options with regard to playing games delisted from the PS Store.

I'm still torn between just using my PS TV or buying a Vita.
If I go with a Vita I definitly want a different color than black. I'm in the US and Amazon has the imports for about the same price as the local black model.
What should I know about if I go with an import? Will all my games have x/o swapped, or is there something in the firmware where I can change that?
Also I already have a 32gb US memory card, stored with a bunch of US games. (I owned a Vita at launch for several months)

No to both questions. The roles of x/o are only different in system menus and the stock apps. It is really not a big deal. Amazon FBA is great way to get an imported PSV. Ordered two of them in the past year.
That button mapping (accessibility) setting doesn't work in the way you expect. It would essentially change your x button to an o button (and vice versa), which isn't what the "x/o swap" is.
I wouldn't recommend the PSTV as a primary system at all. In my case it works well as a companion console, but there are far too many incompatible games/apps for it to be anything greater.

I used the Nyko PowerGrip on my 2000 and loved it. Do recommend.

Hm, on my 1000 I had something very similar without the battery but it wiggled a lot. I don't really care about the battery part but I think the plug might stop it from wiggling with the grips. I'll try it!

i recently got a vita 2000, and like the ps tv, i can not unlock the lady samurai in disgaea 2 psp, but i could on the original vita that i had, the requirements are to have save data from disgaea 1, but the lady samurai doesnt show up in the create character list

This one definitely didn't wiggle. The bottom power connector "locks" into the console by shifting up and it's rock solid. Was the perfect grip for me, and I got terrible cramps on my 1000 and 2000 w/o a grip.

Are there any JP stores still selling the pink model at/near MSRP?
Seems like sony changed their colors recently and dropped the pink one.

Pink+white was the only one I was aware of. The black+pink doesn't look so hot.
Is there an all pink one?
I have the light pink & white one. I got mine in Japan though. Can buy it here locally now.
Wow that price increase >.>

Yeah that's the one I was eyeing. Might make do with an all white one.
Was hoping to get one so my wife could play Summon Night 6 (+5,4,3,2,1) without needing to steal my Vita.
