Buying my FIRST PS VITA.. and WOW, What a DEAL!

[@kasperpedersen6672]

A late, but whole hearted, welcome to the Vita family! Probably the one single console, which I have ever gone out of my way to collect games for. Hope you will enjoy your time spent with this little transportable gem ☺️

[@8BitFrogGaming]

Thank you! I’ll make sure to update everyone on this awesome journey! Thank you for checking out the content and hope you stick around! 😁

We are a dedicated group! I've had my Black Vita 1000 since Christmas of 2012. I recently grabbed the Crystal White 1000 and will also be purchasing both the Sapphire Blue and Cosmic Red 1000s as well. Safe to say my all time favorite console.

[@Cyko..]

You picked up a lot of great PS Vita games for your first time! I have a few PS Vitas, including a blue one from Japan, and modded every one of them. My blue one uses an SD to Vita adapter, and I got a 1 TB card installed. I have the top 100 and more Vita games installed, plus about 50 PSP games and about 50 PS1 games too. I also have Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, Game Gear, Arcade, Turbo Grafx 16, Turbo Grafx CD, Neo Geo, Sega CD, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, and a few other systems installed as well. I literally have thousands of games at my disposal. I love it!

[@8BitFrogGaming]

It's cool to see the capabilities of the PS Vita! Whenever I eventually get my 2nd PS Vita, I plan to look into what can be done with it, and I'll probably do a video on my experience with it. Thank you for checking out the video!

[@90FirstGenPGT]

[@grimathemad]

I bought a Vita at launch, and had it for a few years before eventually selling for some reason or another. Regretted that decision. Ended up getting a Vita slim a bit later, picked it up with Persona 4 Golden. Here in the last couple of weeks I ended up buying a 1001 Vita because it was sitting on display at a shop. I saw it once and thought it'd be nice to buy, went back a couple of weeks later and it was still there. Picked it up and replaced the scratched up screen on it. Wonderful little console. I've modded both of them now and have my entire vita game collection installed on the 1001. I use it as a sit down at home and play kind of console while the slim goes in my bag anytime I'm out and it's great to have on hand. They really are fantastic devices.

[@8BitFrogGaming]

I can’t tell you how many times when I was younger selling a collection and regretting it down the road. Now that I’m older, I tend to buy more with intention. One day, I’ll probably get a Vita 2000 to have a modded version, but I do still enjoy finding the physical copies in the wild. 🙂 Thank you for checking out the channel and subscribing!! It means a lot and hope you enjoy the content!

[@caillanbryers9321]

Modded?

[@pauljakeman]

Great video and welcome to the psvita club! Glad you managed to get the original. It does have the better screen. Kill one was pretty surprising with how good it is. You did well getting the uncharted so cheap. Never knew you could get a stand for it.

[@coisnotpog]

The cray part is that Japanese Vitas on Ebay are cheaper than US models, because they are so much more abundant, and because Japan does not value used items as highly. I ended up getting an imported 2000 in super nice shape, with a 4gb card, and in a rare color for $130 shipped. The only issue is getting used to the "o" being confirm and "x" being back. Now if i can just muster up the nerve to spend $90+ on a physical copy of Horizon Chase Turbo i will be happy.

[@8BitFrogGaming]

Woah, I didn’t think about how Japan treats their used video game stuff. They do sell so cheap!

Wow! 10$? That's a really good deal. I wish I could find a copy of Killzone at a decent price, that one is missing from my mini collection. I recently went on a similar path and bought one 1000 model, in perfect condition. But the deals I kept finding were so good, that I also bought two 2000 models (one I intend to sell though). All three were about 140-150$ and came with various games, cases, and memory cards. The 1000 one even came with the original box. After selling some of the games I didn't need and taking into account the crazy price of those memory cards, I think I paid as little as 50$ for the actual consoles. As you said, there are still some good deals out there, if you're patient and persistent enough. And even if you end up paying a bit more, some of these games can't be experienced elsewhere and are a lot of fun, so if they bring joy, it's worth it!

[@8BitFrogGaming]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I’m glad you have found some great deals as well! I hope to get me one of those colored 2000 models. I knew I got a good deal, but after I looked up the prices, I was amazed. Thank you for watching and hope to hear from you again soon!

[@MattBenicFlintZA]

I picked one up last year for $70 including a 32 gig card and got Uncharted and Killzone with cases for under $5 each. Quite possibly the best gaming value I’ve ever got given how much I’ve played the thing. I’ve been picking up games (no more that cheaply unfortunately) and have a solid collection of about 20 at this point. Do yourself a favor and mod it, with retroarch it’s an excellent way to enjoy games from the 8- and 16-but consoles 👌

I picked up a Vita OLED about 2 years ago now, second hand unboxed but it’s in good condition, their is some burn in on the screen but you only see it when it’s off and at a certain angle. Still use it now and then. I am kicking myself for not getting the cradle though as they are so expensive now. I really want one lol. It’s a great handheld, solid build and small enough.

[@8BitFrogGaming]

I’m sure you could find a replacement screen for your Vita if it has the burns in it. I did a repair guide video on where you can find parts and a guide that can help with the repairs. I haven’t done any repairs on a Vita before, but it was fun finding the resources if needed. It is such a comfortable handheld with a solid library of games!

IMHO - if you can find one for 100-120 or cheaper - get it, mod it, look for used games that go for $5-10 (last one I got was Final Fantasy for $5 in comics store) and get bunch of vintage ones with RetroArch. If you see price getting closer to $200 - get Switch Lite instead for 200. I own PS Vita since 2013/2014 and it's hardware engineering and design still perfect for gaming even 10 days after its release but since Sony making it harder and harder every day to use it - Nintendo (which I got for my kid, so I can compare) may be better call.

If I had to pick overall, I personally love the 2DS XL for the Nintendo game library. If you are wanting a beast of a handheld modded system, the PS Vita OLED model would be my go-to. You can mod it to get a 1TB SD card and load it with tons of games and the picture quality is great. It plays so nicely too and fits comfortably in the hand. I love the first-party titles for Nintendo, and in my opinion, some great RPGs are on that system, including Dragon Quest VI & VIII, Radiant Historia, & Shin Megami Tensei IV. Also being able to play original DS games is nice because I love grabbing my Chrono Trigger or Dragon Quest IX and playing it too. If you can get both at a good price, I’d snag them both. For modding, go the PS Vita route. I’ve noticed how much of a community there is with that scene. Hope this helps! Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@8BitFrogGaming]

Unfortunately you cannot find them in a standard retail store. You can look in local retro game shops that carry all types of games. I recommend supporting local game stores, or you can be patient with Facebook Market Place, which is where I got this find. I’m currently out of town and going to be visiting a local shop and posting a video. You can check that out when it’s posted so you can see what I am talking about. 🙂

Imagine if Sony dropped a handheld on the market today.... 7 inch Oled screen capable of destroying the Switch and Steamdeck, non proprietary SSD storage with the features of a dual sense controller built in...

[@8BitFrogGaming]

That would be a monster. I bet they would charge two arms and a leg for that system if it came out. I would love to see that!

[@quattroconcept4]

sd2vita is your friend

[@alananras293]

Nah the best thing to do is to mod the vita so you can slap a micro SD inside with an adapter. You'll have infinite storage

[@8BitFrogGaming]

Yeah, I’ll do that with my 2nd Vita system. I wanna keep this one as original as possible. I know that isn’t the popular choice, but I’m a gamer and collector and like having systems the way they were created, at least having one system that way. I do love the modding stuff out there too, don’t get me wrong. Lol Thank you for checking out the video!

[@alananras293]

@@8BitFrogGaming I get that. I directly modded my first vita (it'as a slim model), but i plan on buying a broken original vita from a friend, repair it and keep it unhacked, so i know i won't run into any issues with it, except sony giving up on it so getting any digital game is gonna be a nightmare.

[@KingLion00]

I just thank !!!! We can still buy games for psvita Today..online ... just add to your wallet...and I have 4 psvita with 64gb memory I'm trying to buy all the games for the vita...and they are alot cheaper than the physical games ... like retro city rampage dx it's 70 to 100 dollars physical..and at ps store is just 9 dollars.. nineeeee dollars.

[@8BitFrogGaming]

Yeah, the digital can be cheaper. I just prefer having physical copies of games as much as possible. Thank you for checking out my video! Hope you come back and visit!

[@Yoko.Kurama]

Your vita is used from ebay?

[@8BitFrogGaming]

Thank you for checking out my channel while I have been away. No, I was using price references to show that you can find great deals out there. I specifically found this deal on Facebook market actually! 😄

[@joeysimmons2713]

You know Ebay doesn't dictate the value, right?

[@8BitFrogGaming]

Thanks for checking out the video! 😄 No, it doesn’t necessarily. I typically use price charting to see values and trends on valuing the market for knowledge sake. I know a lot of people go to eBay and Amazon for a lot, so it was just one reference I used at the time of this video. And it was fun to find a sweet deal and wanted to share that anyone can find good deals too!

Jailbreak it, you can use an adapter with a micro SD card. I use a 256GB card.

[@8BitFrogGaming]

I may do a jailbreak or mods to another PS Vita I get in the future. I wanna keep this one as authentic as it gets. It's good to know that it can expand that way. Makes it way nicer. Thanks for the tip!

[@mannyspeaks47]

@@8BitFrogGaming definitely! Mine is also a 1001 model that I got as a teenager around launch. I’m looking into buying a Blue or Red Japan version as well to have as a second. Good luck on your Vita journey, it’s an awesome portable console for sure.

[@8BitFrogGaming]

@@mannyspeaks47 the colors that they have in Japan are awesome! And with this system being region-free is really nice! I would love that red one. 🤩 Thank you for checking out the content. Looking forward to sharing more with you!

[@KyleYoung2012]

i never got the Ps Vita but later this year im going too save up and get a Japanese New Nintendo 3ds XL and Ps Vita because there much cheaper than the American versions i only got the Ps Tv which is a device that lets you play Ps Tv games on the Tv but un modded you cant really play any of your games on the Tv so kind of a waste of money if you ask me

[@8BitFrogGaming]

That’s fair. I see it as if it isn’t valuable enough for you to pay, there isn’t anything wrong with that. I was grateful to find a sweet deal on one here in my city for a great price. It isn’t easy finding one for cheap, but they’re out there. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@KyleYoung2012]

For now the Ps Tv is a good enough Vita fix for me

[@munkboi69-22]

just mod ur ps vita bro u aint helping nobody by keeping it stock

[@8BitFrogGaming]

I understand modding it will give it so much more, but I'll do it with another one I buy, especially with all those colors that are available. When I do mod one, I'll make sure to post a video on it. Looking forward to the experience!

[@munkboi69-22]

@@8BitFrogGaming makes sense but i bring it up cause i had a ps vita for like a year and i sold it bc i only had 1 game until i found out i could just mod it

@@munkboi69-22 very good point. I appreciate you looking out for me and informing me. It means a lot. I hope to hear more feedback from you in future videos and how I can serve you and others more.

[@mc_hotboi4958]

Let’s be real here. If you buy a vita in 2022, it’s only with the intention of hacking it. And we all know why we do it lol

[@8BitFrogGaming]

I’m sure for most, but with this being my first, I’ve chosen not to. Maybe when I find my 2nd one, I’ll go on that adventure. I’m sure it is super fun to do!

[@ryanaldrinmacayan7822]

Good day, maybe you have extra psvita sell it to me. I'm a Filipino I work here at Norwegian Cruise Line, I want to buy but I don't know where.

[@8BitFrogGaming]

Wow! That is cool you work on a cruise line. I have never been on one before and I wouldn’t know where to start. Maybe if you stop somewhere and check a local game store, they could have one to buy.

Did this guy really get everything for $10 each or does his wife watch his videos??? Lol. 😂

[@8BitFrogGaming]

😂 I really did. The guy sold everything to me and that’s what everything ended up pricing to. I was super excited. Not the craziest find I have gotten, but it’s definitely a good one.

[@RyanMonoxide]

@@8BitFrogGaming Nice. Awesome deals. Been combing through my local thrift stores and eBay trying to find a Vita and some games. I’m looking for a white OLED model specifically. I think they look very nice. I missed the Vita Train as people liked to say, but I have had every PlayStation console up to this point so I figured why not pick up a Vita just for fun. I think it’s kind of funny that I’ve never seen one in person in my life. Not sure why. Everybody I knew had Nintendo stuff growing up in our area.

[@8BitFrogGaming]

@@RyanMonoxide man I missed the Vita train too for the longest time. I’ve only had mine now since March or April of this year. Just stay consistent with your searches, especially with Facebook Market, and something good will pop up. I’m going to the beach next week, so maybe I’ll find some sweet deals or some more Vita games to add to the collection. I’ll keep an eye out on a white Vita at a good price as well for you!

Steam deck dude

[@8BitFrogGaming]

Thanks for checking out the video! One of my friends has one and it is really cool! Maybe one day I’ll get one, but I personally am not for the digital gaming direction when it comes to eventually whipping out physical media. Don’t get me wrong, I have some digital games, but if I can have it physically, I’m gonna try to have it in my collection. To each it’s own when it comes to your preferences. Overall, Steam Deck is a dope system, but so is the PS Vita. 😄
