About this product

Product Information

Play more than 1,000 games, from virtually anywhere, on the Sony PlayStation Vita. With the PS Vita device, gamers can stream PS4 console games through Remote Play and PS3 games with PS Now. The PlayStation Vita is the second handheld gaming console to come from Sony. The first thing gamers will notice about this PS Vita system is the 5-inch OLED screen. The screen has a display resolution of 960 x 544 pixels, and it provides crisp details and vibrant color. It also doubles as a touch screen, letting gamers open apps with a simple touch of the screen. This display panel is as durable as it is beautiful because it uses high-quality glass to ensure it does not easily scratch, break, or shatter. The improvements don't stop with just the display panel. Each of the buttons on the Vita has been redesigned from the ground up. They are more responsive and easier to press in. The Vita uses high-quality springs that can stand up to millions of button presses. The PS Vita also uses dual analog joysticks, so gamers used to the PS4 controller will feel right at home. On the back of the device is a rear touch pad, giving you additional control options during your games. The Sixaxis motion sensing system includes an accelerometer and a gyroscope in order to make gameplay more realistic and interactive. This PS Vita model has built-in Wi-Fi that allows you to access an array of features. The 2200 mAh battery in the Vita will provide gamers with three to five hours of consecutive gameplay. The battery will allow for five hours of video playback or up to nine hours of music playback. The Vita device uses a proprietary memory card to save any downloaded apps, games, audio, or software. These cards range from 4GB to 64GB of storage space. This PlayStation device is a striking black color, and it is light at just .57 pounds. Its dimensions are .73 inches in height by 7.17 inches in width by 3.29 inches in depth.

    One of the best handhelds made

    I have to say, the PSVita is a very underrated handheld console. It's one of the best I've ever owned! You can download most Ps1 and PSP games from the playstation store, the games you can buy for it are just beyond amazing. Had to get this console because of the Metal Gear HD collection, the God of War collection, and Final Fantasy X & X-2 as well as Final Fantasy 7 that you can download for 10 bucks in the playstation store. The battery life on this is great! Lasts way longer than the 1st gen PSvita but of course doesn't have the same display as the original but still looks amazing, hard to really notice. The only downside to these are the memory cards. They are super expensive. The size I would recommend for people only buying physical games and a couple download games would be the 16GB memory card, anything lower is not too good and anything higher would just be a waste of money. You could get away with the 8GB, but best to be safe with the 16GB. The PSvita Slim has a 1GB capacity without the memory card also so you can still play and save a few games on it without the memory card at least.

    Meh

    -Dirt gets underneath the screen like the PSP. -There is no real organization so everything is a mess like the 3DS (trying to copy the iphone -- just give us a plain text alphabetical list of all apps! -Memory card costs more than the system -- UNFORGIVABLE. I want to give it one star but unfortunately it is a must have system, so they get three stars that they don't deserve.

  • Ps vita in 2021 and beyond

    For being a 10 year old heldheld without much love from Sony, the ps vita has managed to remain relevant albeit in the shadow of the more powerful, modern, and popular Switch. Although Sony essentially has abandoned the ps vita 2 years ago, the ps vita has an impressive library of games with a handful of triple A titles that are at par with with its bigger brother the Playstation 3, and quirky and unique games like tearaway that utilizes the vita's many special features such as the front and rear touch screen and motion sensor. But, not only does the vita have a rather large library of games, but it also is backwards compatible with Sony's large catalog of previous generation of consoles such as the almost the entire catalog of games for the PlayStation Portable, in addition, to the Playstation 1, a few titles for the Playstation 2 and some ports for the Playstation 3. As you can see the Ps Vita with its twin analog joystick is an extremely versatile, yet under appreciated system. Nonetheless, there is still a cult following of the little handheld that Sony has essentially has forgotten, and that cult following blossomed with the introduction of CFW which opened the doors wide open for the ultimate experience what the ps vita is truly capable of doing. With CFW, the ps vita ultimately became the ultimate retro gaming handled on the go. Imagine having access to the entire library of games ranging from the Snes, NES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance , Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, Mame, the entire neo geo library, CPS1, CPS2, and dozens of more retro gaming goodness all displayed in a beautiful OLED screen. So, is the ps vita still a legitimate purchase in 2021 and beyond? My responce is yes it is most definitely!!!!

  • Best Handheld Gaming Console

    Portable gaming is really important to me, moreso than before, because of my children. Not because they want to play too, it's because the number one gaming console, prior to this purchase, was my Android phone. Now, they want to use it when we are out and about in order to watch YouTube. This little and lite machine boasts pleanty of power to spit out HD graphics and outstanding colors. The CPU allows me to use it more than it was intended for. I've modded it and now have opened it up to use for practically all gaming consoles. The battery is the only issue as it will only squeez out less than four hours of gameplay. But that should be enough for a day running errands.

  • SONY PS PLAYER 4 LIFE

    Great invention that honestly is still better than any other hand held on the market. It is still a good buy in 2018, & in Japan it is. PlayStation has said 2 years ago that it would stop making games for it, but they still are releasing new games today. If you have a SONY PS account you get free games every month, & if you had a PS account for years hopefully you were saving those games to the cloud & now can download them to a memory card & play them anytime. One of my favorite things about the Sony PlayStation Vita is the Remote Play feature. If you're playing a game on the PlayStation 3 or the PlayStation 4 and have to go outside or use the bathroom you don't have to stop playing your game. All you have to do is pause the game, turn on the PlayStation Vita, go to either connect to PS3 or PS4, & connect to it by remote play. Now you can continue playing your game on the PS VITA wherever you left off playing at on your PS3 or PS4 console. That's how powerful and fast this little gadget is. If Sony knew how to market this handheld correctly, it would still be one of the top electronic gadgets out there on the market, but they sure don't know how to, & they never did (they did the same thing to the PSP). I guarantee you that if you get one, you will fall in love with it!!

  • great value if you've collected psn vita games

    I've never bought anything from ebay, let alone a used piece of electronics but this has surpassed my expectations. I've played this a fair bit over the past weeks and it seems like new - not a single scratch on screen, the buttons and sticks feel good. The battery is in great shape too. If you've been collecting a free vita games catalogue over the years, it's a good time to cash in. I was pleasantly surprised. I would give five stars except for the fact that you need the memory card. You may be able to find one for good value. The OLED screen is great but it doesn't show well outdoors. The battery last about 4-5 hours - which is fair - and has a proprietary plug. Other than that, this is a great system; probably underrated There are more than enough good to great games at this price point.

  • Works great, looks almost brand new

    Bought this for a friend in the Dominican Republic. I'm not a gamer so I can't really evaluate how well it works, but he was quite happy with it. I saw him playing streaming some videos and playing some car chase game and it looked like it had very good controls, good sound and clear picture. The unit looked to be brand new, no scratches or dings.

  • Buy it refurbished for a great value

    Yeah, so this is the older style of vita, no longer sold in stores. It has an OLED screen, which is supposed to be better than the second generation's LCD screen. Having never seen a vita 2 in person, I can only tell you that the screen picture on this one looks great. Also, it is supposed to feel more solid and substantial to hold in your hands than the vita 2. I have heard that the WIFI reception is better in this model than in the vita 2, not sure if that's true. Now onto some disadvantages: The OLED screen will supposedly burn out after a while, needing to be replaced. The USB IN port, where you plug in the charger or connect it to a PS3, PS4 or PC is a weird proprietary SONY port that will not take any kind of standard USB cable. Finally, battery life on the first generation is about an hour less than the vita 2. Oh, and accessories may be harder to get and/or more expensive than the vita 2's. These systems are not the same thickness, and some of the buttons and the speakers are a different shape. That being said, I have almost all of the top rated games and this system is fun. I also love being able to go on the PS store from the vita and browse games, themes, APPS, etc. If you get one, Know that this first generation requires a memory card to save any game data. No big deal, right? Well, the memory cards are proprietary as well- has to be a SONY vita memory card, and they aren't cheap. I was lucky and found one on closeout, brand new in a big box store. Suggest you try that or maybe a pawn shop or thrift store. To sum up, I recommend this system- contact me to find out what seller I bought from.

  • Best handheld EVAR!

    I love this handheld so much, I bought three to have one for different regions. There are only two downsides I see with this handheld - lack of support from s0rny and updates that prevent Henkaku being installed in order to expand the game library. In spite of all that, it leaves pretty much any handheld in the dust in terms of fun games with fantastic graphics.
