PlayStation Vita Wi-Fi Light blue/White PCH-2000ZA14(Japan Import)

Looks even better in person. Lighter than I expected.

I got this a while ago. So, long term review. It was worth it. If Im going to have a Vita, I wanted a unique one and not just one from gamestop. White shows less fingerprints, the bezel is white and the sticks are white. The American versions look awful in comparison. I like how the light blue back gives it some extra flavor. Its no different than an American Vita with the exception of the X and O buttons being switched in SOME games, not all(Uncharted:G. A. = normal, Muramasa = switched). I believe you can adjust the settings, but it doesnt bother me. All Vita systems are Region free(plays all games, foreign and domestic. Same with memory cards, etc.). Language is selective. The only difference is the color really. This is a genuine Sony product. Its just from Japan. If you want to own a Vita and have games in mind that you must own, get one that you will be happy with owning. If I would have gotten a plain black one I probably would have sold it. This may be the last time Sony ever makes a handheld device. Might as well have one that isnt common place(higher resale value in the future).

Delivery was much faster than expected, and the console is really cool.

Battery life is amazing, the new layout is comfortable. I bought this as a companion to my PS4, but the wifi keeps dropping so the experience isnt all that great, but still usable. Wifi is apparently a known and widespread issue. Research before you buy. My wifi keeps dropping, but there are things you can do to make it better. And Ill update if/when I can get stable wifi.

Excellent condition for a used Vita.

I just bought this, but so far everythings working well. The box did come in pretty grungy shape and unsealed, but the system looks fine and pristine, and the firmware wasnt very recent. So Im hoping it was just sitting around for a while, which is why the box looked like it did, and not a refurbished or used one, since I paid for new. As for the functioning of the system, the sad thing is that Sony doesnt really support Vita anymore, so the PS store is pretty pitiful. Not many games on sale at any given time, and not a great selection of quality games most of the time, nor is it very easy for me to find the sort of stuff Id be interested in. But Im primarily interested in playing physical games, so thats not a huge deal. My main gripe is the controls. It seems like a system made for child hands, as gripping it to try to play a complex game like an FPS is very uncomfortable. Its not very well-designed in terms of the controls. Though, again, since I mainly got this to play visual novels, thats not really a huge deal for me. It doesnt affect my primary use of the system, but it does make it much less desirable for playing any normal games (that require quick and complex control action) that I might want to try. I really wish Sony would port some of the Vita-exclusive games that are really popular over to the PS4, like Persona 4 or the Uncharted game. The PS4 controller is great. I dont know. Im only in my 30s, but Ive been noticing lately that my hands just cant tolerate tiny portable consoles the way they used to, even on my 3DS (and dont get me started on how terrible the Switchs Joy Cons are). But in the case of the Vita, I really think part of the problem is the inclusion of those little analog sticks. Especially on the right side. It really gets in the way of me using the actual buttons, and in order to switch from the buttons to the stick, you have to shift your whole grip on the machine. And since I like to hold it up in front of my face (rather than having to look down at it), that really doesnt work out well. Overall, a good system that looks terrific, but if you have non-petite hands and/or dont like to have the thing practically sitting in your lap as you play, maybe manage your expectations.

my son loves this

Dont believe anyone else with the original Vita. LED isnt terrible, it shows darker textures, and doesnt make the picture look so saturated. The rear touch screen is smaller but still responds just as well. The Japanese Import Vita does have the X and O reversed on controls on main screen and during game saves, but it isnt anything to worry about. Battery life is surprisingly good (average of 4.5-5 hours atm.)

My son love it. Im glad I bought this. So far no problems

Delivery was fast, although I did choose expedited shipping. Like most of the others, I bought a used PS Vita. The seller of my item was Diagoro, and I am so glad I chose them! The item was as described and the seller was courteous and would respond promptly whenever I would contact them. They described the item as very good, but I didnt keep my hopes too high up because it was still a used item. But when I received it, wow, I was blown away. Not a single scratch on the screen at all and the Vita was in top condition! It looked almost as if it was new. Of course, when you really take a look at it, you will notice that its not completely new because the back has a few scratches (but they are negligible). Overall, Im very happy with my order.
