Getting the PSVita

[StarryStars]

I've been wanting to get the PSVita for a while, because I want to play Persona 4 Golden and a bunch of other games that are exclusive for the handheld console. Is the PSVita worth getting? If I do get it, what games do you recommend for it?

don't do it. It's slowly dying and most of it's games are moving over to ps3/ps4 and 3ds.

Oh, I see. That's really disappointing to hear, because the PSVita seemed really fun to play with, and it seemed to have so much potential. I guess I'll stick to playing 3DS games. Thank you for your input.

lol Agreed. However when something is dying it doesn't necessarily make it obsolete. Sometimes it works in your favour. When I was young I wasn't able to purchase the games I wanted to play I sat on my hands. Literally & figuratively. Eventually I got to a place where I could purchase those games. I guess it has more to do with perseverance than it does accomplishment.

It largely depends what types of game you want to play. Persona 4 Golden is a great choice and Atlus are still supporting the Vita. In fact, many Japanese developers are still releasing a healthy number of games on Sony's handheld. So if you don't mind importing a few games, you can't go wrong. But it's true that the system is dying in western regions and I've already noticed a lack of games on the shelves of game stores in my area.

I have one and I plan on upgrading to get the newer, slimmer model in a different color.

(Sorry for the ressurection lol) I also wanted a PS Vita just to play the third Corpse Party and my friend gave me the same advice, so I ended up getting a 2DS- as the first Corpse Party got a DS version, so it'll probably get all three. But I still want to try to get one in the future.

You should check out the pstv if you want a cheaper alternative for the vita. Mine came free with the ps4 but it usually goes for £40. It's basically a vita for your tv. I was finally able to play persona 4 because of it. :')

I could have gotten a Vita with memory card from Jet.com for $150 a week ago using their SHOP15 promo code. Now it's up to $170 using the code.

Note: I am not advertising nor am I a Jet representative. Just posting a good deal.

Just be careful with the PS TV. Not every Vita game is compatible with it.

I remember when the vita came out. I was an avid PSP player, I had many games. There was this thing you could do to the psp battery to make it do something that would allow you to change the psp in many ways, I can't remember what the process was but this let me place dozens of CSO games on a 64 gb memory car plus many movies as well.

I loved my psp, it was my complete entertainment system. I stopped playing my PS2 when I got it. I used to play call of duty online all through out the night.

Seeing the vita made me feel like it was a knock off and a completely different step for sony because it was so different. Seeing it in person made me change my perspective on it, I like what they did with the handheld console.
