You mean the steam deck? 😂….jokes aside vita 2 would have been awesome, love my original vita and recently took it on a trip, vita truly is a portable system compared to something like a steam deck, which is a great system, but honestly it’s no where near as portable as a vita.
i've had the OLED version for about 7 years now and i still love it. this device was way ahead of its time and it had the potential to be the greatest handheld console ever made. i wish sony didn't fumble the bag on this one
@@Galafador I don’t think the vita was ahead of it’s time… it was already lacking behind smart phones and iPads when it got released I think it was well within its time but never ahead That being said I did love the vita my favourite games in 2013 was kill zone Mercenaries and persona 4 golden I played the vita religiously 😂 I think I got like over 1000 ps trophy’s just from vita games
@@oo0024 in terms of processing power maybe, but in terms of features I think it definitely was ahead. one feature for example is the deep sleep feature, you can leave the vita on sleep for literally weeks (or even more than a month in some instances) before its battery runs out. I don't think there's any gadgets today that can do that, let alone a gaming handheld.
there was a time where I was playing P4G, turned it to sleep and forgot about it for like a month because of irl stuff, and then when i picked it up again it's still on the same bossfight lol I was really surprised
Between the PSP and the Vita, Sony's handhelds were wonderful creations. Shame that Sony had little idea how to properly support either one after release.
Maybe if the psp or vita was given to Nintendo or Xbox, it would've survived. Sony just didn't care anymore because they made enough money on their other stuff. 🤦🏿♂️
My first ever console. Got it back in December 2013. It has a special place in my heart. I always thought that handheld consoles were better because you could take them with you wherever, but a lot of games didn't get a good port imo. You see a game on PS3 or PS4 look real good, then see it in PS Vita looks completely different. At the end of the day, I think this console could have been supported better
Damn, besides Sega Genesis the PS1 was my favorite. Driver was actually the game I played the most, cool to see it was on the Vita. It was too ahead of it's time. Having no good games killed it.
This thing for it’s time was unbelievable. A OLED screen on a device in 2011/early 2012?! Graphics at times that approached near PS3 levels? Beast of a machine.
PlayStation Vita was my first device with an OLED screen Nintendo Switch was my first device with a USB-C port Evercade was my first device with a Mini HDMI port
Just so you know, I've never seen anyone being banned off of PSN with a modded Vita. Been doing multiplayer and the store without being banned. Definitely look into getting it modded. The ports are insane (GTA Trilogy, Bully, Sonic 1, 2, CD, and Mania, and Super Mario 64 60fps).
@@rob4601 are you asking what's physically required or a guide on how to? If you need a guide I recommend this one: th-cam.com/video/l9HWm4561hU/w-d-xo.html If you have a PSV-1000 model you need a Vita, the Vita memory card (any size), a MicroSD to Vita adapter and a MicroSD card (trust me you'll want some more storage that's cheaper and non proprietary). For the 2000 model you don't need the PS Vita memory card because it has 1GB of internal storage.
I have both versions of the vita. I love them. It’s an emulation beast once it’s hacked too and games look amazing on the oled screen and they still look really good on the later led screen as well. Super stardust delta is a pretty cool twin stick shooter
"It’s an emulation beast" Not really no... For PSP though, yes it is. But for non-Sony consoles it's pretty bad. Of course you can run pretty much flawlessly games from the 8 and 16 bits era but Nintendo 64 games are hit or miss, and the Vita can't run PS2 or GC emulators. Any decent Android handheld would do better when it comes to emulation, and they can be bought new for the price of a used Vita.
i bought a PSVITA about 8 months ago. it's great. the mod support for it is really good and playing PS1, PSP and PSVITA Games are such a joy. good nostalgia.
I bought my OLED version used for about $150 Canadian and I modded it instantly. Dowgraded to 3.65 and did permanent Enso. So far, installing mods and games, my PSN hasn't been banned. Am also using a 128gb memory card. Everything works fine till this day (+ I still earn trophies on the go too). Love the little portable and I still play it from time to time (since the battery lasts so long).
Beautiful console, I'm still playing and getting trophies, no hack. Some essentials: Killzone, gravity rush, Uncharted, sly, persona 4, tales of hearts, world of final fantasy, final fantasy X-X2, god of war 1 and 2 HD.
On it's own, totally worth buying. If you mod it, you get incredible value and a sweet little console to boot. I do risk my PSN account, although it sounds like Sony's last test Vita's used for testing updates were dumped so I don't believe there to be much worry anymore to anyone worried about their PSN accounts. It's a fun little console that I spent my life from age 12 to now at 22 playing, nostalgia is a killer but this is a great system.
This was one of the greatest hand held consoles of all time! So sad to not see it get more attention. It added a second analog stick before the NEW Nintendo 3DS added it's c-stick. I would have loved to see more ports and exclusives made for this. Loved playing Daxter, Sly Cooper, and LBP on this.
Does it really matter though? barely any games would have been enhanced with this aside from a handful since the 3ds isn't really the console for shooters and such
I think Sony is focused more on Remote Play, which for me has been somewhat a let down. I would be excited to see Sony release a cloud streaming service like nvidia geforce now (which is miles ahead) kind of like what PS Now used to be but better
Well they are heavenly focused on pushing PlayStation Studios as a separate thing with pc ports being a new thing at least on this scale, so playing games like God of War and really good games on the go like Journey make the Steam Deck a portable PlayStation in a way.
@PSVAndSwitchGTG homie, I can assure you the only person everyone here sees as pathetic is you. just log off and go outside for a little bit because you seem like you desperately need it.
PS Vita 2022! Still have mine on my gaming desk and pull it out from time to time. I spent far more time with the PSP back in the day, but I love that I can play many of those games digitally through the Vita.
For a PS Vita in 2022, a mid range ARM chip with SteamOS-levels of support would be a crazy cool device for Sony specific games. Imagine if they could bring all the great emulators in house with official support from PS1 through to early PS4 games. I’d say a 5.5-6 inch 720p screen would be perfect for this use case. The big issue for Sony portables was always the business model, in that Nintendo always had the mobile console market. With modern subscription services, a ~$250 device with a tie-in to a higher PS Plus tier that gives access to all of these older games would be a killer value while also keeping the upkeep costs down and subsidizing the device cost over time.
@@janvertonghen14 agree, however I would argue that the steam deck and switch have shown battery is more important than screen res, especially if you’re targeting games that can’t run at Full HD on current hardware
@@AwSomeNESSS The thing is SteamOS has very little developer support. The fact it's just a PC makes all PC games run on it by default. I don't think Sony can do that. It would require them to shrink the PS5 down to a portable form factor which can't be done. That's kind of the disadvantage of consoles that we have to deal with. Your best bet with be to just buy a Steam Deck or wait for Valve to release a slimmer version which they have hinted at. The Deck is coming to Asia so a slimmer version for that region is already in the works.
When midrange smartphones have greater than 1080p displays, an ARM device should easily support 60+ fps on 1080p while getting good battery life. The only reason why Steam Deck had to be stingy w/ its screen was because it is basically a shrunken down PC, so it can't be as efficient.
I got a Vita at the start of the year and it's been great! My favourite games so far have been P2, P3P and Persona 4 Golden, Tearaway, Uncharted, Hotline Miami and Gravity Rush (haven't finished GR yet but it's good so far!). Such a good console, this and my 2DS are my go to consoles at the moment.
You can play persona 2 on the vita? Thought it was for psp only(sorry new to this whole vita thing I don’t understand the difference between the psp and the vita lol
@@itsjustroberto yes on the psn store you can buy persona 2 innocent sin, if you're in the U.S you can even buy Persona 2 eternal punishment which you can play on PS3 too I believe. There's also the psp version of Persona 1 which you can play on the vita
With the PS Store closing down soon, I’ve bought a lot of PS1 Classics, and I’ve downloaded all my PS+ games throughout the years (been subbed since 2013 so trust me it’s a lot). The Vita is an amazing handheld that was not loved enough by Sony.
@@koladearasanmi2005 they walked back from their decision but I have a feeling they’ll try it again soon. It’s inevitable unfortunately. So currently no set date.
@@MexhomieXlll tbh I have all the consoles I can mod onto the Vita (the ones I care about at least). So modding is just too much of a hassle at this point
I agree with what you said, it did too much. And that’s why I love it. It was a premium gaming device. Got it back in March 2012, and still have mine to this day.
If Sony were to work on a PS Vita two project, they should look at the Steam Deck as Valve has expressed their openness to others taking inspiration from the Steam Deck to create their own handheld. Sony should look closely at what is great about the Steam Deck and improve where it needs improvement. The Steam Deck is proof that handhelds can and have reached their new evolution in gaming and are able to run AAA games quite well all things considered. The sacrifices in graphics aren’t as drastic as the Nintendo Switch for third party games and it’s amazing. Would absolutely love to see a PS Vita 2 as powerful or possibly more powerful than the Steam Deck. It would be a massive win
I think a PS vita 2 with the exact PS5 specs would be crazy good. 7” Oled 1080p screen with HDR. with usb c so you can plug in the PSVR2. Have the same dual sense features on the device as well.
Only if it comes out when the PS6 does, as it would take some time for the hardware in the PS5 to be optimized enough to be able to power and cool in a mobile profile. We can see something like this today with the Steam Deck having comparable performance to the PS4, and launching when the PS5 is still pretty new.
PS5 Specs?....and how exactly do you expect them to cool the device given the PS5 Console itself is half the size of a small fridge fir the purpose of air flow... lol Ideally you'd want the specs to sit somewhere between the Steam Deck and....ironically, the Series S. Midway between the 2 which even then is a really tough ask in a handheld at the moment.
I bought mine back in 2014. Was completely in love with it. It was so ahead of its time. There weren’t too many vita games that took my fancy but i enjoyed playing psp games on it
Still have 2 of them! Both the 2nd version. One normal black US version and a white Japan version. Absolutely love it. The battery is amazing, the size is perfect, it fits nice in hand, and there are so many awesome JRPGs to enjoy on it! I've hacked one of them and it's been awesome.
This thing is the most beautifully crafted gaming handheld ever made, I have one but unfortunately it got broken 5 years ago, I had games like wipeout 2048, fifa 15, the amazing spider man, street fighter x tekken, dead or alive 5+, killzone mercenary, uncharted golden abyss, tekken 6, nfs most wanted and few other games that I don't remeber their exact names. man I loved this thing.
@@blastu2fool I don't know for me it didn't look great because it wasn't actually designed specifically for the vita, it was a psp game that you could find in the vita's ps store, and psp games didn't generally look great, so the game's graphics were a bit on the poor side even with the OLED screen, but yeah that might be subjective after all.
That intro certainly made the Vita look beautiful. Thanks for making this video. I still play mines though I am sad they didn't get as much game support as I'd like.
This video made me start searching on eBay for a Vita. I never had a PSP before and always wanted a vita, the lack of games was discouraging back then but I totally forgot remote play was a thing!
I loved my vita. My uncle worked in pawnshops and got me one when they first came out. My dad lived in Texas and I lived in Florida with my mom. I would travel a lot as a kid and portable consoles were my shit. The vita was so nice at the time it was basically like having a ps3 wherever u went
I own one. Bought it three years ago secondhand for €85,- came with 8 GB memory card and a hard case. Played it for a time, but haven’t played it in months. Also own a switch but I don’t use that one either. But still nice to have the option to play if I want to.
hey man, i was just wondering if u have any extra psp consoles, cause i dont have money to buy some and i just started on looking forward on playing again cause i lost mine when i was kid
I would still use my PlayStation Vita but its 64GB memory card, which I spent £60 on in late 2015, died last year! Considering I didn’t get my first iPad until 2019 and I’m still on the fence over getting an Apple Watch, I found the PlayStation Vita to be a great device, not just for gaming, but also a smart device I could use when I couldn’t turn to my iPhone! Due to the limited data allowance I had on my iPhone at the time, I was able to insert my backup PAYG SIM into my Vita and post on Facebook without draining my iPhone’s data allowance, its front facing camera meant that although I didn’t yet have an iPhone with one, I could Skype without holding my iPhone back to front! It was also the first device I EVER owned to have an OLED screen! I still have this trusty Vita today, but I really must look into that mod that replaces the SIM slot with a micro SD one, not only is my proprietary 64GB card dead, but also: 1. I like to keep my systems as authentic AS POSSIBLE (so if possible, I’d like to keep the original BIOS and still access the PlayStation Store) 2. Most of my Vita games are physical 3. My country’s 3G network may be turned off next year Either way, stay cool out there!
The mod allows you to keep everything looking authentic plus you still have access to PSN and the store. Definitely hack your system and install a MicroSD card. It's very much worth it.
I got a PSVita for my 19th birthday, and I just turned 30. I loved the idea of it and enjoyed Uncharted and Assassin’s Creed on it. I just wasn’t into the vast majority of games available on the Vita, and ended up using it more for Netflix if I wanted to watch something without being distracted by tabs, apps, messages, etc. I’m getting a Steam Deck tomorrow. Like you said if the Vita included more AAA games like the Deck is doing, I would gladly still be playing it today.
The Vita has pretty much the perfect size for a handheld. It could be a little more ergonomic, and have bigger buttons. But it's more comfortable to play on compared to the Switch or 3DS.
I got on the Vita train around 2015-2016, but I love to collect it and since then I have the OLED, OLED 3G, OLED CoD edition, 2 black slims, neon orange slim and aqua blue slim....oh and also a couple of Playstation TVs. A shame Sony decided to act like it never existed, lack of support and proprietorial and expensive cards was it downfall, but the awesome community keeps it alive and loved.
It's still worth buying if you're l looking to collect old consoles. I still have mine around somewhere and I've got a bunch of classic games downloaded. The size is nice and compact, convenient enough to put in your pocket, the screen is nice and crisp with vivid colors. Shame a lot of people underestimated this thing and I hope someday Sony comes back with a newer Vita to be compatible with the ps5.
I still have my OLED PS Vita! Just played some Gravity Rush today and forgot just how amazing this handheld was. Since its launch I have been a big supporter of the Vita and was really sad that Sony dropped support. I really wish it took off with the general audience, but I remember the memory cards and lack of constant support turning people away. With that said, it housed some of my favorite games and I'm sad what could have been. The Switch kind of filled that hole but it still isn't the same. I'd kill for another Soul Sacrifice game.
I've had one since the Japanese day one release. Love it so much I had to grab the slim and the Vita TV as well. Still enjoying it today because there are plenty of games to play as well as the remote play option. Definitely worth getting still. Viva La Vita
The Vita was my all time favorite game console (not just portable) until I got a Steam Deck. I still love my Vita and grab it when ever I need something more portable, which can comfortably fit in a jacket pocket. The OLED model in particular looks great and feels solid and premium in the hand. It has a great library of games particularly when you take into account the PSP and PS1 libraries also available for it. And if you mod it...
Just started getting back into trophy hunting, and I truly believe that getting a vita is a good way forward for me on my hunt! Great video! Got me wanting one even more! CeX selling them for 95 so think I’ll be taking a trip down the local shortly :D
Recently got a vita and modded it and so far I love it! I did make a new psn account to not risk my account so not being able to see my trophies is a bummer but being able to access all ps1, psp, vita, and all other retro games is a blast
Nice little video about PS Vita in 2022. I remember back in the day me asking my parents to buy me a PSP, never got it lol. Now I'm blessed to have a PS5.
I've hacked mine. Been almost a year, 250gb space, have 100+ games with a ps1 and a psp emulator installed. I've been able to play online with others, get trophies and get access to creator content and much more. It's amazing
I had a PS Vita on launch day back in 2012. Saved so much money for it I was obsessed with PSP and CFW when I was a kid. It was an OK console, I ended up selling it some years later. Once Sony dropped support the console was flooded with JRPGs. Western AAA publishers slowly pulled out. I just recently bought another Vita used to mod
Metal Gear 1 and 2. Odín sphere. Muramass rebirth, Shantae hgh. Uncharted GA , Gravity Rush. Persona 4 Golden , God of War 1 and 2 , Sly Copper . Brüh I had so much fun with this handheld .
I still love the Vita, a beautiful handheld and the fact it had so many RPGs it was ideal for me. Sad that they are unlikely to release a new one. I have the original and the slim, I don't see me giving them up for a while. PSVita 2022 😄
lol niceee....... btw, you have the games in the form of physical discs or digitally loaded into the ps vita? cause u know, physical discs have stopped selling years ago !
@@desiconvicted a mixture I got quite a few from being a PS Plus subscriber, I also have physical ones. I keep an eye on ebay for second hand ones I don't have :)
Ive had mine since it first released in 2012. I probably used it for hundreds of hours on my bus travels during college. Had to replace the left thumbstick the other month. Very easy to do as the vita parts are all modular using screws to keep them in place rather than hot glue.
Not only is it a monster to modify, it's the community underground devs who are doing some unbelievable work! I can't believe they're porting games from pc & android which takes the vita to another level.
Last handheld console Ive owned were the Game Boy classic and Game Gear. Going to school and trading cartridges was the only thing that made school interesting.
Got the Vita on launch and had it for 8 years until I had to raise funds and sold it. A fantastic console with a core of great games and ideal to play psone and psp games out of the box. Remote play was hit and miss but the proprietary memory cards and the lack of support and commitment from both Sony and third parties mean it may be known more for unrealised potential than a true classic.
I have a PS Vita oled I bought from my brother in law for $100. Bought a case and the sd card adapter and did the mods. It is still way beyond it's time. A great portable media powerhouse! I want to buy a glacier white or blue one now.
It was such an amazing portable, I had it back when it released, but stupid me sold it back in 2018 if I recall correctly, I bought an iPhone with that money, but that iPhone died on the beach due to water damage after 2 months I bought it, so I basically I lost the money and my PS Vita :(.
I had an original OLED version at launch. unfortunately I had some unexpected expenses come up a few years ago and I sold it to my local game store I’ve always regretted selling it l. I am currently thinking about picking one up as I had a decent number of digital game’s I still would like to play. Thanks for your thoughts on the system. I wasn’t sure if the store was still open or not for the vita as I don’t see the games on PlayStation 3 like I used to.

I Got Mine 100Oled Modded ..it's a beast I Play DKC Snes (donkey Kong 64 )Gba Mario kart gba Pokémon.....N64 Arcade Gamesss Psp Games GTA SA BRO and so many more ...can do with this thing I was playing n64 orcarina of time Zelda but I stop because I heard they working on porting it to vita so I stopped playing it thru n64 emulation so I can wait for the official port ....But It's Pretty decent not gonna lie underrated console ...only thin I got to wait on is my sd2vita I gotta buy one and get a new screen put in Hand da system in to be cleaned....Get A Casing Etc....And maneee I'm set ....even got work going on a dream cast emulator brah ...it's nice handheld 🐐
I would love to see another version get a release. I had the psp but didn’t get the vita because by the time I wanted to get it, it was announced that it was being discontinued
I have two ps vita’s in my collection. The piano black & the glacier white models. Both OLED I might add & I still travel with one or the other portables. Still use them faithfully to this day.
I still got my oled vita since 1st launch! I hacked it last year and it was amazing! For about 5 days then became a useless brick after I jacked it up 🤦🏿♂️ wanting maybe the 2nd vita because it uses a better charger and it's more slim.
I have always wanted a Vita. I'm about to turn 33 in 2 days and it's still one of the biggest things I want. Crazy seeing how they have raised in prices. I owned the psp when it first came out. But the vita just looks beautiful
Remote play & AirPods Pro’s I have the White PS vita it’s still useful without having to mod it. Remote play works with every PS4 game!! That OLED screen is beautiful
Modded Vita owner here (PS4 too). It seems Sony has just given up on the Vita in all regards, as nobody has been banned yet for homebrew, pirated games, custom themes, anything. You are safe to mod it. Though if you're truly paranoid, you can actually set up a separate PSN account with all the mods and have the stock one on another sd card, kind of like dual booting.
I have had mine since 2014, I loved playing Minecraft on it and its one of my happiest childhood memories. I got it along with the adventure pack with an 8gb memory card in it (if anyone remembers those) also like nobody else I knew had one until i went to secondary school lmao
I was able to snag a Vita for $60. It’s a bit dinged up (one noticeable scratch on the screen) but it is the OLED model. I got it about a year ago for one reason and one reason only: modding. The PKGj store is AMAZING. I literally don’t even own one game for it but it currently has over 200 games on it, ranging from Vita originals, PSP, PS1, and ported PS2/PS3 games. All of that for 60 bucks plus the price of a SD card…. pretty sweet.
@@SpawnPoiint Hahaha, I know right? It’s a long story but I ended up getting a partial refund as the product did not come as pictured (i.e. the small scratch on the screen). To think of how much value I’ve gotten off that purchase is insane. It literally cost me less than a new PS5 game (not that I’d give Sony 70 bucks for any of their games. I was already gun shy at 60 but now, now I just wait for the used/price drop).
I've been wanting one of these. Just love them an I've my launch psp an psp 3000 with the component cable's and factory clean. #psvita2022 Enjoyed Brother
Just bought my first ever Vita today. With all the jailbreaks and mods, it just makes so much sense. To play old PSP games, PS1, and emulated games on the go is so smart.
This was truly a underrated console and I regret the fact that I chose to sleep on it. And after watching that PlayStation showcase I kinda wish that I bought one back in 2012 or 2014.
Ive been playing my PS Vita for the last 90 mins after watchig this vid. It's still so cool dude, Resogun runs like a dream, Destruction Derby and WipeOut - OMG! I've missed this thing!
I bought an OLED model for £50 last year off a mate, so nice to add this piece of hardware to my PlayStation collection, such a lovely bit of kit even in 2022
i've had to VITA when it came out on 2012. I totally just forgot about thinking it was a dead console... surprisingly it's making a comeback... playing it again it really was ahead of it's time...now I just need to jailbreak my console now=)
For Psvita owners and new owners, ill get some tips for ya! "Blockbuster" games: Gravity Rush, Killzone Mercenary, COD (Terrible history but it has an active multiplayer), Borderlands 2, PSP's GOW, Uncharted GA What psvita will i buy? If you play too much,buy the slim, less problems, better batery, and new design If you play very often, buy the Fat one, Better screen quality Online games that still have a player comunnity? Killzone and COD
I've just rediscovered my ps vita, original, after several years of moving. Forgot how much I love this. I would love to see a ps vita 2 but with proper support this time.
i had the og one since release but then after many years it ended up getting broken. After years, I'm now feeling nostalgia so Ive ordered a new slim one off ebay. Cant wait to play my old games again!
Hope you liked the nostalgic video today. But who else wants to see a PS Vita 2?

If you have a PSV-1000 model you need a Vita, the Vita memory card (any size), a MicroSD to Vita adapter and a MicroSD card (trust me you'll want some more storage that's cheaper and non proprietary). For the 2000 model you don't need the PS Vita memory card because it has 1GB of internal storage.
I have both versions of the vita. I love them. It’s an emulation beast once it’s hacked too and games look amazing on the oled screen and they still look really good on the later led screen as well. Super stardust delta is a pretty cool twin stick shooter
which one should i buy?
"It’s an emulation beast"
Not really no...
For PSP though, yes it is. But for non-Sony consoles it's pretty bad. Of course you can run pretty much flawlessly games from the 8 and 16 bits era but Nintendo 64 games are hit or miss, and the Vita can't run PS2 or GC emulators.
Any decent Android handheld would do better when it comes to emulation, and they can be bought new for the price of a used Vita.

i bought a PSVITA about 8 months ago. it's great. the mod support for it is really good and playing PS1, PSP and PSVITA Games are such a joy. good nostalgia.
Where did you buy it?
@@IamDojo i bought mine on eBay.
@@Albion2023 Could you send tge link of the seller from whom you bought the vita... would be of great help
@@dvv-1999 i can't. He only sold his personal PSVITA. I'm sure there is many people on ebay selling their PSVITAS though just like him.
I love that more and more TH-camrs make videos about this console. I hope Sony sees this.
I bought my OLED version used for about $150 Canadian and I modded it instantly. Dowgraded to 3.65 and did permanent Enso. So far, installing mods and games, my PSN hasn't been banned. Am also using a 128gb memory card. Everything works fine till this day (+ I still earn trophies on the go too). Love the little portable and I still play it from time to time (since the battery lasts so long).
I got myself a vita about a year ago. I love it. Especially while traveling. Currently I am quite fond of Unit 13 and Urban Trail Freestyle
Unit 13 is such a dope ass game. I need to replay the whole game again. Totally worth it
Beautiful console, I'm still playing and getting trophies, no hack.
Some essentials:
Killzone, gravity rush, Uncharted, sly, persona 4, tales of hearts, world of final fantasy, final fantasy X-X2, god of war 1 and 2 HD.
Great list of games, thank you!
If I may add: Assassin’s Creed and Batman Arkahm
I just play minecraft cuz i can take it when ever i want plus it's better than on phone and it's on legacy
1000000000000000% on final fantasy x and x2. x is my favorite non 16bit final fantasy game
On it's own, totally worth buying. If you mod it, you get incredible value and a sweet little console to boot. I do risk my PSN account, although it sounds like Sony's last test Vita's used for testing updates were dumped so I don't believe there to be much worry anymore to anyone worried about their PSN accounts. It's a fun little console that I spent my life from age 12 to now at 22 playing, nostalgia is a killer but this is a great system.
PSN spoofing and version spoofing are available in latest version of Enso/Henkaku
how do u mod it ?
This was one of the greatest hand held consoles of all time! So sad to not see it get more attention. It added a second analog stick before the NEW Nintendo 3DS added it's c-stick. I would have loved to see more ports and exclusives made for this. Loved playing Daxter, Sly Cooper, and LBP on this.
Still use my Vita to play Sly Cooper to this day!
Does it really matter though? barely any games would have been enhanced with this aside from a handful since the 3ds isn't really the console for shooters and such
I use my PS Vita on a regular basis. I absolutely love it. Such a phenomenal handheld !
I think Sony is focused more on Remote Play, which for me has been somewhat a let down. I would be excited to see Sony release a cloud streaming service like nvidia geforce now (which is miles ahead) kind of like what PS Now used to be but better
Well they are heavenly focused on pushing PlayStation Studios as a separate thing with pc ports being a new thing at least on this scale, so playing games like God of War and really good games on the go like Journey make the Steam Deck a portable PlayStation in a way.
@PSVAndSwitchGTG how does that make him a fanboy lmao the brainrot
@PSVAndSwitchGTG bro I like all consoles so why are you such a child? Genuinely sad
@PSVAndSwitchGTG homie, I can assure you the only person everyone here sees as pathetic is you. just log off and go outside for a little bit because you seem like you desperately need it.
@PSVAndSwitchGTG now you’re just spitting out nonsense. If you’re gonna troll, at least do it well.
PS Vita 2022! Still have mine on my gaming desk and pull it out from time to time. I spent far more time with the PSP back in the day, but I love that I can play many of those games digitally through the Vita.
For a PS Vita in 2022, a mid range ARM chip with SteamOS-levels of support would be a crazy cool device for Sony specific games. Imagine if they could bring all the great emulators in house with official support from PS1 through to early PS4 games. I’d say a 5.5-6 inch 720p screen would be perfect for this use case.
The big issue for Sony portables was always the business model, in that Nintendo always had the mobile console market. With modern subscription services, a ~$250 device with a tie-in to a higher PS Plus tier that gives access to all of these older games would be a killer value while also keeping the upkeep costs down and subsidizing the device cost over time.
720p in 2022 is pretty decent, 1080p60 HD would be better
@@janvertonghen14 agree, however I would argue that the steam deck and switch have shown battery is more important than screen res, especially if you’re targeting games that can’t run at Full HD on current hardware
@@AwSomeNESSS The thing is SteamOS has very little developer support. The fact it's just a PC makes all PC games run on it by default. I don't think Sony can do that. It would require them to shrink the PS5 down to a portable form factor which can't be done. That's kind of the disadvantage of consoles that we have to deal with.
Your best bet with be to just buy a Steam Deck or wait for Valve to release a slimmer version which they have hinted at. The Deck is coming to Asia so a slimmer version for that region is already in the works.
Nono 1080p is a must on Mobile devices Right now. To use for about 5 years, minimum
When midrange smartphones have greater than 1080p displays, an ARM device should easily support 60+ fps on 1080p while getting good battery life. The only reason why Steam Deck had to be stingy w/ its screen was because it is basically a shrunken down PC, so it can't be as efficient.
I got a Vita at the start of the year and it's been great!
My favourite games so far have been P2, P3P and Persona 4 Golden, Tearaway, Uncharted, Hotline Miami and Gravity Rush (haven't finished GR yet but it's good so far!).
Such a good console, this and my 2DS are my go to consoles at the moment.
You can play persona 2 on the vita? Thought it was for psp only(sorry new to this whole vita thing I don’t understand the difference between the psp and the vita lol
@@itsjustroberto yes on the psn store you can buy persona 2 innocent sin, if you're in the U.S you can even buy Persona 2 eternal punishment which you can play on PS3 too I believe.
There's also the psp version of Persona 1 which you can play on the vita
With the PS Store closing down soon, I’ve bought a lot of PS1 Classics, and I’ve downloaded all my PS+ games throughout the years (been subbed since 2013 so trust me it’s a lot). The Vita is an amazing handheld that was not loved enough by Sony.
Do you know when is closing down??
@@koladearasanmi2005 they walked back from their decision but I have a feeling they’ll try it again soon. It’s inevitable unfortunately. So currently no set date.
@PSVAndSwitchGTG wtf are you talking about?
Or just mod it
@@MexhomieXlll tbh I have all the consoles I can mod onto the Vita (the ones I care about at least). So modding is just too much of a hassle at this point
I agree with what you said, it did too much. And that’s why I love it. It was a premium gaming device. Got it back in March 2012, and still have mine to this day.
literally just got one today, and i feel like its a new thing. considering this thing is 10 years old, it was way ahead of its time
If Sony were to work on a PS Vita two project, they should look at the Steam Deck as Valve has expressed their openness to others taking inspiration from the Steam Deck to create their own handheld. Sony should look closely at what is great about the Steam Deck and improve where it needs improvement. The Steam Deck is proof that handhelds can and have reached their new evolution in gaming and are able to run AAA games quite well all things considered. The sacrifices in graphics aren’t as drastic as the Nintendo Switch for third party games and it’s amazing. Would absolutely love to see a PS Vita 2 as powerful or possibly more powerful than the Steam Deck. It would be a massive win
Steam Deck is subpar compared to some other handhelds. I want the OneXPlayer Gundam edition
Psvita 2 is a crap name. They should fully rebrand it and make it fresh like how they renamed dualshock, dualsense
@@anonymousdonkey. they are using that as a project name. Won't be called the Vita.
@@anonymousdonkey. PSVita 2 is obviously not going to be the name. Just a placeholder, but either way people will still think of it as the psvita 2
@@comixof2morrow fair
I think a PS vita 2 with the exact PS5 specs would be crazy good. 7” Oled 1080p screen with HDR. with usb c so you can plug in the PSVR2. Have the same dual sense features on the device as well.
That would be an awesome spec! We can only dream.
Only if it comes out when the PS6 does, as it would take some time for the hardware in the PS5 to be optimized enough to be able to power and cool in a mobile profile. We can see something like this today with the Steam Deck having comparable performance to the PS4, and launching when the PS5 is still pretty new.
@@confused2537 yup pretty much but man when it does happen it’s going to be freaking awesome. if it happens that is.
Ps5 hardware would be hard
PS5 Specs?....and how exactly do you expect them to cool the device given the PS5 Console itself is half the size of a small fridge fir the purpose of air flow... lol
Ideally you'd want the specs to sit somewhere between the Steam Deck and....ironically, the Series S.
Midway between the 2 which even then is a really tough ask in a handheld at the moment.
I bought mine back in 2014. Was completely in love with it. It was so ahead of its time. There weren’t too many vita games that took my fancy but i enjoyed playing psp games on it
Still have 2 of them! Both the 2nd version. One normal black US version and a white Japan version. Absolutely love it. The battery is amazing, the size is perfect, it fits nice in hand, and there are so many awesome JRPGs to enjoy on it! I've hacked one of them and it's been awesome.
This thing is the most beautifully crafted gaming handheld ever made, I have one but unfortunately it got broken 5 years ago, I had games like wipeout 2048, fifa 15, the amazing spider man, street fighter x tekken, dead or alive 5+, killzone mercenary, uncharted golden abyss, tekken 6, nfs most wanted and few other games that I don't remeber their exact names. man I loved this thing.
Tekken 6 is a beast on the Vita oled 1000 love that game
@@blastu2fool I don't know for me it didn't look great because it wasn't actually designed specifically for the vita, it was a psp game that you could find in the vita's ps store, and psp games didn't generally look great, so the game's graphics were a bit on the poor side even with the OLED screen, but yeah that might be subjective after all.
That intro certainly made the Vita look beautiful. Thanks for making this video. I still play mines though I am sad they didn't get as much game support as I'd like.
This video made me start searching on eBay for a Vita. I never had a PSP before and always wanted a vita, the lack of games was discouraging back then but I totally forgot remote play was a thing!
I loved my vita. My uncle worked in pawnshops and got me one when they first came out. My dad lived in Texas and I lived in Florida with my mom. I would travel a lot as a kid and portable consoles were my shit. The vita was so nice at the time it was basically like having a ps3 wherever u went
What's Florida like sounds nice and relaxing.
Never been to the USA.
@@GentlemanGaming1122 Hot
love these videos, it brings more exposure and maybe sony might see there’s still a portable market for them!
I own one. Bought it three years ago secondhand for €85,- came with 8 GB memory card and a hard case. Played it for a time, but haven’t played it in months. Also own a switch but I don’t use that one either. But still nice to have the option to play if I want to.
hey man, i was just wondering if u have any extra psp consoles, cause i dont have money to buy some and i just started on looking forward on playing again cause i lost mine when i was kid
I would still use my PlayStation Vita but its 64GB memory card, which I spent £60 on in late 2015, died last year! Considering I didn’t get my first iPad until 2019 and I’m still on the fence over getting an Apple Watch, I found the PlayStation Vita to be a great device, not just for gaming, but also a smart device I could use when I couldn’t turn to my iPhone! Due to the limited data allowance I had on my iPhone at the time, I was able to insert my backup PAYG SIM into my Vita and post on Facebook without draining my iPhone’s data allowance, its front facing camera meant that although I didn’t yet have an iPhone with one, I could Skype without holding my iPhone back to front! It was also the first device I EVER owned to have an OLED screen! I still have this trusty Vita today, but I really must look into that mod that replaces the SIM slot with a micro SD one, not only is my proprietary 64GB card dead, but also:
1. I like to keep my systems as authentic AS POSSIBLE (so if possible, I’d like to keep the original BIOS and still access the PlayStation Store)
2. Most of my Vita games are physical
3. My country’s 3G network may be turned off next year
Either way, stay cool out there!
You could try to install a hack that just lets you use micro sd cards through an adapter. Might be easier than modding.
The mod allows you to keep everything looking authentic plus you still have access to PSN and the store. Definitely hack your system and install a MicroSD card. It's very much worth it.
You have to hack the vita system in order to be able to use the micro sd adapter
Persona 3,4 and 5 going to the switch takes away a big part of the exclusivity of why people use the vita
I got a PSVita for my 19th birthday, and I just turned 30. I loved the idea of it and enjoyed Uncharted and Assassin’s Creed on it. I just wasn’t into the vast majority of games available on the Vita, and ended up using it more for Netflix if I wanted to watch something without being distracted by tabs, apps, messages, etc. I’m getting a Steam Deck tomorrow. Like you said if the Vita included more AAA games like the Deck is doing, I would gladly still be playing it today.
The Vita has pretty much the perfect size for a handheld.
It could be a little more ergonomic, and have bigger buttons.
But it's more comfortable to play on compared to the Switch or 3DS.
I got on the Vita train around 2015-2016, but I love to collect it and since then I have the OLED, OLED 3G, OLED CoD edition, 2 black slims, neon orange slim and aqua blue slim....oh and also a couple of Playstation TVs. A shame Sony decided to act like it never existed, lack of support and proprietorial and expensive cards was it downfall, but the awesome community keeps it alive and loved.
With the latest software update, you can no longer move certain PS1 games like MGS and Silent Hill to the Vita via a PS3
It's still worth buying if you're l looking to collect old consoles. I still have mine around somewhere and I've got a bunch of classic games downloaded. The size is nice and compact, convenient enough to put in your pocket, the screen is nice and crisp with vivid colors. Shame a lot of people underestimated this thing and I hope someday Sony comes back with a newer Vita to be compatible with the ps5.
I still have my OLED PS Vita! Just played some Gravity Rush today and forgot just how amazing this handheld was.
Since its launch I have been a big supporter of the Vita and was really sad that Sony dropped support.
I really wish it took off with the general audience, but I remember the memory cards and lack of constant support turning people away. With that said, it housed some of my favorite games and I'm sad what could have been.
The Switch kind of filled that hole but it still isn't the same. I'd kill for another Soul Sacrifice game.
Exactly imagine they realize soul sacrifice 2 on ps5!!
@@lsanek6115 That would put a big beaming light through this horrid year!
The PSVita Oled version is still one of the best handheld consoles ever released.
Totally agree. Love this thing.
I've had one since the Japanese day one release. Love it so much I had to grab the slim and the Vita TV as well. Still enjoying it today because there are plenty of games to play as well as the remote play option. Definitely worth getting still. Viva La Vita
The Vita was my all time favorite game console (not just portable) until I got a Steam Deck. I still love my Vita and grab it when ever I need something more portable, which can comfortably fit in a jacket pocket. The OLED model in particular looks great and feels solid and premium in the hand. It has a great library of games particularly when you take into account the PSP and PS1 libraries also available for it. And if you mod it...
How’s the battery hold up this old
Insenly good I bought mine 2014 and it last for ever , I do have it modded and there is something that helps ALOT with battery life
Just started getting back into trophy hunting, and I truly believe that getting a vita is a good way forward for me on my hunt!
Great video! Got me wanting one even more!

Recently got a vita and modded it and so far I love it! I did make a new psn account to not risk my account so not being able to see my trophies is a bummer but being able to access all ps1, psp, vita, and all other retro games is a blast
what mod guide did you use?
Nice little video about PS Vita in 2022. I remember back in the day me asking my parents to buy me a PSP, never got it lol. Now I'm blessed to have a PS5.
I've hacked mine. Been almost a year, 250gb space, have 100+ games with a ps1 and a psp emulator installed. I've been able to play online with others, get trophies and get access to creator content and much more. It's amazing
That's tempting me!
I had a PS Vita on launch day back in 2012. Saved so much money for it I was obsessed with PSP and CFW when I was a kid. It was an OK console, I ended up selling it some years later. Once Sony dropped support the console was flooded with JRPGs. Western AAA publishers slowly pulled out. I just recently bought another Vita used to mod
PS Vita 2022! Another great video mate! Love watching them!

Had to replace the left thumbstick the other month. Very easy to do as the vita parts are all modular using screws to keep them in place rather than hot glue.
That's awesome to hear a long term feedback like that!
Not only is it a monster to modify, it's the community underground devs who are doing some unbelievable work! I can't believe they're porting games from pc & android which takes the vita to another level.
Last handheld console Ive owned were the Game Boy classic and Game Gear. Going to school and trading cartridges was the only thing that made school interesting.
Just for the mod support alone, PSvita is a must buy.

Got the Vita on launch and had it for 8 years until I had to raise funds and sold it. A fantastic console with a core of great games and ideal to play psone and psp games out of the box. Remote play was hit and miss but the proprietary memory cards and the lack of support and commitment from both Sony and third parties mean it may be known more for unrealised potential than a true classic.

Modded Vita owner here (PS4 too). It seems Sony has just given up on the Vita in all regards, as nobody has been banned yet for homebrew, pirated games, custom themes, anything. You are safe to mod it. Though if you're truly paranoid, you can actually set up a separate PSN account with all the mods and have the stock one on another sd card, kind of like dual booting.
I have had mine since 2014, I loved playing Minecraft on it and its one of my happiest childhood memories. I got it along with the adventure pack with an 8gb memory card in it (if anyone remembers those) also like nobody else I knew had one until i went to secondary school lmao
I was able to snag a Vita for $60. It’s a bit dinged up (one noticeable scratch on the screen) but it is the OLED model. I got it about a year ago for one reason and one reason only: modding. The PKGj store is AMAZING. I literally don’t even own one game for it but it currently has over 200 games on it, ranging from Vita originals, PSP, PS1, and ported PS2/PS3 games. All of that for 60 bucks plus the price of a SD card…. pretty sweet.

@@SpawnPoiint Hahaha, I know right? It’s a long story but I ended up getting a partial refund as the product did not come as pictured (i.e. the small scratch on the screen).

If you play very often, buy the Fat one, Better screen quality
Online games that still have a player comunnity? Killzone and COD
