It's a wild take, but depending on the game, it's kinda true. Shovel Knight for instance, Y's 8, persona 4 golden. And almost all Indy games. I myself have reverted back to ps vita for my train ride to work, have sold my Switch Lite. It's all in personal preference

I own my Vita since 2012 and got it jailbroken around 2020. What a fantastic piece of hardware. I played with it a lot back when I purchased, and around 8 years after, when having access to all the cool stuff, I've been using it pretty much every day since then. Not only it has a huge library of the more official vita, psp and ps1 games, but through homebrew, I played all of the ps2-era gta games, which I'd never do if it wasn't on a portable.

Right now I do tend to grab my 3DS more due to the library but I absolutely love my Vita too. Tales of Hearts R is awesome on Vita!

[@cheslinellis1707]

Bought a 2000 for about $50 a year ago - good condition except for left-stick drift(still need to replace). Bought a 1000 in even better condition for $65 a few months later, with 7 open box(mostly LEGO) games. What would a NEW Vita look like? This thing is still so good. What would be the new Vita's target?

[@GarrettCrespo]

I’d think a new vita would aim for PS3 and PS4 era graphics. The Steam Deck and ROG Ally have shown that portable gaming can look as good as last gen consoles and even play current gen games. So, something like that with PS branding, I assume.

[@kickconnection83]

Love my modded vita. From RetroArch to Adrenaline to my favorite movies backed up and music. Even with my ROG Ally - I find myself constantly going back to my vita. Just throw it in my pocket and I'm good to go.

[@lirfrank]

The Vita store is still active, you just need to add funds to your account elsewhere like the PS App on your phone or your PS5.

[@boywonder8329]

great review. very detailed and covers all the points I was looking for, thank you

[@theprophet9428]

From someone who’s never cared to repair something. My ps4 changed that. On top of that it was a refurbished ps4 pro from … GameStop. It was rough for the first week until I got it cleaned and it hasn’t piped up since.

[@GemuTyme]

You can still purchase from the store, you just need to add funds via the PS app or your PS5, for supposedly doing research, it’s a neglected point in your review. Sony hasn’t made any overtures to close the store recently (outside the original attempt that was met with vocal resistance), I just purchased several games recently via the method I mentioned above. There’s no doubt that it will in the future probably close, but as of this posting it’s still up and running as usual. You just have to add funds in a backwards way via your own PlayStation 4/5 or your PS account via website or app.

[@GarrettCrespo]

Interesting. I'll have to try again. My issue wasn't really adding funds. The store just wouldn't open for me. I'm wondering if maybe it's an issue with the Vita talking to my network.

[@GemuTyme]

@@GarrettCrespo you mentioned yours had issues with the speaker, it could also very well have an issue with the WiFi card. I can’t recall if the vita 2001 had a separate WiFi card or if it was integrated. Cause if you can load/install updates, it might just be something on your vitas end. Idk if also hacking it can cause issues or not, mostly likely it shouldn’t have caused any issues.

[@GarrettCrespo]

I never considered that. I’ll take a look! Thanks for the input!

[@mrfrikki0]

Well for logging in to psn you do need to make a separate password for ps3/psp/psvita. There's a option in the security section of the account setting in the website, then you use the normal one for confirming purchases. Check logging in from the setting.

[@JamanWerSonst]

Hadn't used my launch Vita in many years until watched the GTA6 trailer and saw a video in my recommendations about GTA San Andreas on the Vita. So I modded it like 6 months and have since then played mostly on my Vita while the Ps5 waits for the Elden Ring DLC. So far I replayed San Andreas, GTA 3 and Vice City, Jak&Daxter and Sly Cooper Collections, Burnout Legends, SSX On Tour, Tony Hawks Underground 2 Remix, both PSP Wipeouts (can be played in native Vita res now!), Midnight Club, Mario 64 Port (native res and 60FPS!), and some Rayman Legends. There are some of the best ever Jump'nRuns and racing games available on the Vita. Its definitely is a bit of a hassle to get it all running and some community ports don't have stable performance, but I honestly currently prefer playing on this little thing because its sleek, is very portable, has good buttons, amazing battery life and it offers an amazing library of games, many of which I haven't played since childhood and many gems I had missed. I am currently replaying Pokemon Emerald, lol.

PS Vita Slim is the best portable gaming handheld. It is lightweight, the buttons are great, the battery backup is good, and the suspend feature is the highlight for me. Switch Lite comes second.

[@Soulicer20]

you mentioned the battery life being pretty good and the vita is 10+ years old now so is there a way to put a newer more modern battery in the vita and get even better battery performance?

[@GarrettCrespo]

There are a few battery replacement options out there, but I dont know if theyre better. They seem to just be OEM replacements.

[@chimpmonumentis577]

The Slim provides the best battery life without any modifications. Although if you’re interested in other options there are mods which allow you to install a Galaxy Note battery inside a Vita which does drastically improve battery life, but doesn’t exactly work flawlessly. The system isn’t able to detect the higher capacity so the charge percentage on the system gets a bit confused and could randomly turn off even with a decent amount of charge left in the system. Although inserting a charger will correct the problem and let you keep chugging with your Vita.

[@exmerion]

1:38 this is the case with almost all second iteration "slim" consoles. Even different SKUs after launch of the PS5 has cut backs on the cooling system. Same thing the 3ds vs 3ds XL or more obviously the 2ds. they were both cheaper production. It's a shame the Vita was overshadowed by the hype around phone games at the time and hamstrung by it's poor choice of proprietary memory.

[@morsecode980]

Slightly unrelated, but I’ve noticed the Vita and PS5 are kinda similar in that they both are very powerful consoles but with barely any games of their own throughout their entire lifespans lol

[@MrPisuicas]

have you used any of the emulators on the system? if so, what are your opinions on it? (that goes for the native PS1 and PSP emulator also!) i was the graphic designer for the N64 and Dreamcast homebrew emulators for the system, so i would have loved to hear what you think about the vita's immensely expanded library with emulation

[@ogre706]

Do I still have one? How about nine of them..

[@ChrisPTenders]

Ha, no. The proprietary stuff was certainly no novelty back then, it's probably the biggest reason the Vita didn't succeed. Back then the micro SD card was a must for phones, and the Vita didn't support it but its most notable competitor, the 3DS, did. SD cards were cheap and widely available so you could just fill one up and swap to another and have plenty of storage, and the Vita proprietary cards were the price of a game at their cheapest option, and over a hundred dollars for their max at 64GB. Go figure. I loved the Vita from day one, but I could not recommend it in good conscience back in the day. Nowadays, thanks to the community, it's an easy recommend; which yeah, it's crazy that it still hits where it needs to, well after a decade.

Note: People think the battery is no longer good when it is stuck on orange blinking light and doesnt seem to come one when plug to charger. There actually isnt anything wrong with the battery. You just have to leave it charge longer for it to cut on and start charging like normal again. The orange light just means it is in ultra power saving mode due to being in standby for so long. I had mines in standby for 2 years because I let someone I trusted borrow it and they put it in pawn shop. Detective had to go get it from pawn shop and it was at the police office as evidence until they could first catch the person for another crime and then charge them with stealing my device and not returning it.

[@DarkLord-7]

As far as piracy goes, I'm pretty much in agreement. Also, if it's a case where the console isn't dead, but the game is no longer being made, and as a bonus the developer that made the game no longer exists, then yeah pirating it may be acceptable, especially as it'll be another case of someone's selling it for a ridiculous price. But, one thing to be aware of for if you pirate games is the game itself may have an anti-piracy feature. For Command & Conquer Generals (and maybe others), your base blows up after a minute or two of playing. For Black & White 2, your villagers do not age, which doesn't sound like a bad thing, until you realize that because nobody ages, children never become adults and therefore, they never get to work. So you could have 50 working adults and 500 children wandering around. And say goodbye to most of your plans of an evil run because you likely will not have enough people to keep making armies for that evil run. Anyway, in some cases, piracy is just about as difficult as getting the game legally. Like for a PS2 game, sure, you could try to pirate it to play for free, but most PS2 emulators require you to have the actual game. Some require you to have the actual console for some reason, which to me kinda defeats the point of the emulator. And another case where piracy may be acceptable, though this is a bit of an extension to Garrett's point, is if you already bought the physical copies of the game for a dead console, that console no longer works, and the physical copies don't fit into your computer. I'm talking about the PSP. My actual PSP doesn't work like it used to. I have two games for it and they do not fit into any disc tray that I'm aware of for PC. And my only option left to play them is through an emulator.

[@DARKSHREK000]

Sony (and a few other companies in Japan 🇯🇵) had A LOT of money from the great economic boom in the 90s. This caused a lot of strange phenomena in the business world. Many Japanese companies were so wealthy and so technologically advanced, they would regularly over-engineer their products, essentially making those said products instantly become "ahead of their time". This is why the Toyota Supra can compete with hypercars released last month. And it's why the Vita is still so relevant today. Sony really over-engineered 4 consoles: the PS2, the PSP, the PS3, and the PS Vita. The PS2 has slowly succumbed to time, mostly because of aesthetic choices. But the PSP, PS3, and PS Vita are so well designed that, if you didn't know, it would be easy to think those consoles came out less than a decade ago. Meanwhile the PSP and PS3 have reached two decades and the Vita is over one decade. It's mind-boggling.

Ordered a charger for it (ended up finding the charger this last weekend in a random wire box in the basement but the OG charger is way sturdier than this new flaccid one I got so it’s a welcome find lol) I plugged it in and got hit with a wave of nostalgia after letting it charge for 10 minutes. The battery is shit and the I only had an extra 8 gb memory stick on top of its 16 gb internal flash. I’ve modded it almost fully since. All I’m waiting for is a new back shell that’s larger but allows me to install a much larger battery. I currently have a 128 gb SD card installed with an SD card adapter you plug and tuck back into the shell after removing it. Once tucked you just close it up and never have to change the memory card again. I already have a ps classic so I’m staying away from ps1 games but I am using other emulators lol.

[@SourStrawberrys]

I had mines on standby for 2 years due to letting someone I trusted borrow it and they would return it. So the detective checked the pawn shops and found it there. They had to keep it as evidence so when that person go arrested for another crime they would charge them for stealing my vita. For some reason they could arrest them for stealing it then they had to be arrested for another crime, which makes no sense. When I finally got it back, it had the orange blinking light which means it was in ultra power saving mode. I had to charge it for longer, just to get it to turn back on but after that the battery life was just as good as when I had it 2 years prior.
