Hi folks, how much should I be looking for a original OLED vita with FFX and 16gb memory card? It's in perfect working order, charger is a bit frayed but works. Just to note I'm not offering to sell it here but just looking for a bit of advice on price. Thanks

80 - 120 maybe. Check adverts.ie

Finished Danganronpa V3 last night. That ending... was certainly unique even by danganronpa standards.

I hope they make another one ( there's an easter egg that suggests ultra despair girls 2 is on the way) because it's definitely my favourite series on the vita.

Now to decide what to play next. I have the last zero escape game and I want to start the trials of cold steel series so it'll probably be one of them.

I'd go with trails personally.

I loved ZE series just not the end of the last one, I won't rant here I promise :pac:.
They're kinda similar to Dangan afaik well both VN at least (haven't played them) so maybe go Trials for a change and then ZE. You might get burned out like I did starting into the secods Ace Attorney straight after the first.

The vita version of Stardew Valley is apparently out now, doesn't seem to be live on the EU store yet tho, think it might just be on the US store.

Just checked, its up now.

I have some of the old Resident Evils (1-3) and old Final Fantasy games (7-9) on my PS3, is it possible for me to transfer these to a Vita if I were to buy one? I would absolutely love to have access to these games on the go. I was trying to read up on this but some of the guides weren't clear, some sites seem to suggest that a PSP is a better option for this.

As you might have guessed, I know next to nothing about the Vita, so any advice is appreciated.

Xenji · 27-05-2018 11:10pm

I put far too many hours into Stardew Valley on the PC, having it portable on the Vita or the Switch could be a bad idea.

If you bought them digitally, then you'll be able to go on to the store on the Vita and just download them again.

Sephiroth_dude · 28-05-2018 10:30pm

Playing Reverie atm, decent little game worth a look.

DeSelby83 · 28-07-2018 9:59am

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but I have seen there is a big vita sale on at the moment on PSN. I'm looking for an RPG and have heard good things about trails of steel and memories of celceta. Has anyone played both or recommend either

The original PCH-1000 model, it had a OLED screen, the revised version had a lcd screen that made colors look a bit washed out.

Generic Dreadhead · 30-08-2018 10:29am

How much would ye guys consider a PS Vita Slim + 64GB Memory Card + Nyko Power Grip to be worth 2nd hand, in excellent condition with the original cabling and box? I am thinking of selling mine due to lack of use but apparently the memory cards are fierce valuable

shuffles03 · 02-09-2018 10:41am

What are peoples thoughts on remote play? Any good? Laggy as hell? Is remote on Vita better than Mac or are they they same?

Thinking of picking up a Vita and remote really interests me!

I didn't use it that much but i found it very smooth, assuming you have a good Internet connection. What killed it for me was trying to use rear touch as L2 R2. Very awkward.
I think you can get grips that make this easier. Might be worthwhile someone else commenting on those though.

They only exist in CeX or eBay these days. Or very rarely on Adverts.ie.

corkgirl17 · 24-09-2018 12:51pm

Thinking of buying a PS Vita for my husband, are they really good or would the VR be better? Bought him a Nintendo switch last year and he never played it, ended up selling it as he preferred his PS4. What would be the best option?

Retr0gamer · 24-09-2018 1:12pm

Vita is a dead system. Sony are stopping manufacture very soon. Also it's very like a Switch except you can't doc it and play on a big screen so I'd say your husband will get even less out of it than a switch.

I'd say go for VR if he is interested in it.

fixXxer · 24-09-2018 1:51pm

I wonder when they'll remove access to games on PSN.

You can still download psp games to your psp (though you need to buy them on the web store) so they'll allow it as long as it doesn't get in the way of PSN upgrades in general.
Still wish the put out a version with an sd card. Data management actively discouraged me from buying and playing games on my psp.

If he didn't like the Switch I don't think he'd be keen on a Vita tbh.
Does he play the PS4 a lot? Did he say he'd like the vr? Just thinking of people who have vr it was just kinda a novelty thing and would you end up selling again like with the Switch.

Once you've bought them they can't remove access to the games. They'll be in your download list on the Vita even if they aren't visible on the store.

He plays it quite a bit when he gets the chance! He does a fair bit of travelling so that's why I thought the Vita might be good. I think with the Switch it was the games that put him off, wasn't used to Nintendo games and any game he was interested in was really expensive!! Might hold off on the VR, as you say it could be just a novelty thing!!

I see! Well it's similar games and you can play older ps1 games through the store, could you ask? I know it's boring to take the fun out of a surprise but you could be more sure

Tomjim · 25-09-2018 10:37pm

I'm just curious about this, my son bought a PS Vita it could be 6 years ago now.

He never used it much we don't have great internet and it was a chore downloading games etc

So anyway a few years ago he got a PS 4. He announced on Sunday he was trading in the PS Vita and would get 50 euro in CMEX I think this is the name of the shop.

Anyway I said to him I would advertise it for 60 euro and there was a huge amount of interest in it and we sold it immediately.

I,m just wondering what was the attraction in the PS Vita was it the price?

Retr0gamer · 26-09-2018 9:54am

If it was one of the first few models it would have had an OLED screen which is far better than the LCD screen of later models.

ERG89 · 26-09-2018 10:34am

OLED screen or modding most likely. You can also play a lot of indie games through cross buy with the PS4.
They are also stopping production next year but I doubt people are panicking about that yet.

Tom Mann Centuria · 26-09-2018 10:39am

Much easier to hack these days, unless on the very latest firmware. So you can put homebrew on it, buy a adapter for peanuts and use the game slot as a memory card (so dirt cheap micro sd instead of the insane vita memory card prices) and if you aren't a law abiding citizen like me, get virtually every Vita, Playstation One or PSP game ever made, for free, direct to your Vita.

60 euro was a bargain price for whoever bought it.

Kintarō Hattori · 26-09-2018 11:02am

I don't really get the disdain the Vita still has. I bought one of the OLED models at the start of the year in GameStop for €100. While I don't use it all that much I do think it was great value even at that. Games can be bought at a very reasonable price for it and it's much more comfortable to play a game on it than a smartphone.
When it came out it was horrendously overpriced but now it can be got for very little, the screen looks lovely and the controls are so much more comfortable and as has been said, if you're willing to hack it, it provides fantastic value.

Pay no heed to the haters, get him a vita :-).

Good timing. Turned my Vita on last night for the first time in a long time. It's on 3.55 so have to update in order to play the Plus games.
Was trying to decide whether to upgrade or leave it in case I want to hack it. But now this means I can update and decide later

Definitely the price, You were robbed, you could easily have gotten more than 60 for it.

Xenji · 29-10-2018 2:28pm

It looks like the cutoff date which was the March 31, 2019 for the discontinuation of physical Vita games has been extended according to Limited Run Games.

CastorTroy · 06-11-2018 11:26am

Is there a good grip for the Vita? I find holding it while switching from analog stick to buttons can be tricky

I bought this for my 1000 a few months back.

Feels like holding a dualshock now and the back triggers come in handy if you use remote play. There seems to be better alternatives if you have a slim vita though.

Damien360 · 26-11-2018 9:11pm

Turned on my Vita for the first time in about 12 months. Trip abroad coming up. Firmware updated. But how do you find all the PSplus games I purchased over the last few months and get them to download ?

In the store, under menu, go to Download List.

If you still have the same account you can.

I have not used my OLED Vita in ages, but can't see myself ever getting rid of it.
