That's the reason I hardly play anything on the Vita and used my 3DS insteat. It's such a shame Sony didn't do anything about or helped the Vita somehow. The system is still great and I wished Sony was still in the mobile marked with games you only can find on the PS and not on the Switch.
So true, back in the day I made a mistake and sold most of my systems. Now I have a fairly decent collection again. Never going to make the mistake again.
Unless you truly need the money for very important reasons, and/or have a large collection, and need the space for very important reasons like family, then I 100% agree. I made that mistake with selling my SEGA collection in high school to help fund a Win98 gaming PC.
Michael it’s an issue with all handheld games. I work at gamestop, and 9/10 handheld games that get brought in don’t have cases. I also collect for DS/3DS and Vita, and rarely find complete games if they’re used.

@@ViciousAlienKlown that's why I do but when I refuse to buy the game with the generic case I don't buy it and the GameStop employees get mad. Lol shit if they charging me an arm I make sure they gave me the original case and artwork.
@wes If you were really cheap you can send just the card in a regular letter sized envelope and so long as it's under 1oz (I believe) it only costs .50¢ versus $3.
Every game I have bought online, new or old, has come in a sleeve... and there has never been anything wrong with them. I thought it was standard honestly.
I hate getting games without the box, or getting a game with one of those cheap Gamestop-branded boxes that are always broken 'cause the plastic is so cheap.
What puzzles me, is why Sony doesnt give the coding away to memory card devs (Sandisk, etc.) to print limited stock of Vita memory cards? They can just press a few hundred (only 32gb or larger) and sell them off their website, right?
Haha you would be surprised how many packages get stepped on and ran over in a warehouse. Not justifying it but in man I see some packages get destroyed
a hacked 3.60 firmware vita spoofed at 3.73 firmware is the ultimate Playstation unit, and still blows the switch out of the water, with both hardware, software/ homebrew capabilities.
John Doe but when you think about it, it kinda is. I mean like definitely wasn’t done for that purpose but for what it does, they’re both very similar.
That's pretty much what I did. Three vitas while collecting much games digitally and physically. I have I believe three 64GB memory cards and one 32GB memory card. Yes they're all full and plan to get another 64GB memory card on Christmas.
I've noticed being in Japan that a lot of stores will print off cover art (not always on photo paper but still), put them in cases, and even put plastic wrap over used games so that you still get everything getting them used. Less so for vintage stuff, but at least with current gen stuff I've seen it. I think that's a really nice touch.
Earlier this year I started trying to fill out some holes in my collection by going to GameStops around me and asking if they had any Vita games with cases behind the counter. I had a lot of luck for a few months, but that well is really starting to dry up. I'd argue that if you wanted to collect for the Vita, you're definitely a few months late for the really good grabs.
You would be surprised how many people I've seen trade in Not only PS Vita games but Nintendo DS, 3DS , Nintendo Switch games with no original cases it's rare to see people trade them with a case at all. Also the reason for the different packages is because they games are coming from different gamestops so whichever location has that game you ordered they will ship it out to you.
That’s the problem with GameStop they just don’t care about their games and have no collectibility whatsoever, but that should be a given at this point, problem is they still demand the full price for the game despite its condition, you’d get a better deal buying from eBay for the money and you’d get the complete product case and all.
The local market has plenty of them around me, bought a few for a while when I fell in the Vita rabbit hole and bought some for friends. The prices went from 50 to 100+ € averaging at 80, still getting notifications everyday and if I had more money/time I'd buy them all. This console was a hardware showcase that was ahead of its time and Sony let the PS4 cannibalize it, also trying to sell Xperia phones making the Vita looking even less meaningful at the time, finishing with no Monster Hunter games and overall very poor developer support on it.... And the proprietary cards obviously, but today that's not a problem anymore... It's a shame
My local buy/sell/exchange shop had one of these in this morning for £80 with a couple of games. For secondhand I thought that was a bit steep. I didn’t realise they were becoming a desirable collectors piece.
If you're going to continue building your vita collection I recommend getting the danganronpa games on the system. It's an amazing visual novel and I highly recommend it.
As a fan of Danganronpa, I highly recommend playing it on the Vita. My friends have the PS4 versions and told me how it didn't feel natural playing on a controller as opposed to handheld
Same. Sadly, all the stores are pulling them off the floor now, so that they can put call of duty socks out. I'm over 200 games, and a good number of those are from 4 for $10/$20 or buy 2 g 1 sales. I finally decided to buy games that didn't have original cover art during the last prestige sale while I still had elite, with the idea that I could find them later on and exchange, but now that they hide them, it makes it so much harder, and I am having regret.
0:15 "not worth keeping alive" is an euphemism in this case. In all honesty: Sony didn't let the Vita just die... They pretty much *murdered* it via neglection. 5:19 Reminds me of the time I ordered a Heartcontainer-Keychain from Etsy and the maker deemed it necessary to send it in box with 30x40cm dimensions filled with lots and lots of these typical fluffy protection things. I actually had trouble _finding_ the Keychain...
Don't forget the memory card bs, people were smart enough to see that sony was simply trying to pull a fast cash grab. Especially when the competition at that time (3ds) showed that using inexpensive SD cards was no problem at all.
@@polyphonydigital : Well kinda alive... more like in a coma... a very serious brain dead coma... BUT alive. So technically no murder charge on sonys side but a sever case of live threatening body injury.
Am I the only one who thinks Sony didn't neglect the Vita? Sony brought lots of good games to the Vita with Uncharted, Tearaway, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone, Persona, Resistance, WipeOut and a lot more. It even had an exclusive Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed. I think the real reason it didn't do well was they somehow barely marketed it. Nobody knew it existed and if you did, you had to buy a ridiculously expensive proprietary memory card. That killed it in my opinion, but in terms of games, Sony did what they realistically could.
I frequent vintage games shops around my area a lot and when I come across a wanted game sans case I ask if they have any generic cases for the game (ex: 3DS case for a 3DS game, Vita case for a Vita game, Gameboy case for a Gameboy game etc) and the employee or whoever runs the shop are actually cool enough to give me a case. When that happens I just print out custom box art to size at home and slip it onto the box. I did that for Resistance Burning Skies. You could try doing that.
Reason for several packages is because Vita games are still sold at the store so online orders are fulfilled by stores. Your order likely had to be fulfilled by different stores because of inventory (since most stores have very limited inventory on vita games).
I got one like two years ago for Christmas because I sold my original one, and wanted to get one again, especially the Slim version. The cashier guy on the counter asked me why the hell did I want that since I mostly bought PS4 and Switch games on the store. I'm looking at those Vitas going up in price online laughing my ass off because I got mine at a reasonable price
I have two. Bought a Japanese 2000 console in blue, brand new, from PlayAsia. Cost me about $125 shipped. Then got a 1000 for $90 in almost perfect condition used. Glad I collected when I did.
I tried looking around again, I own a Vita 1000, but I like the sleek look of the Vita 2000. However I highly recommend if you shop exclusively on Amazon, to NOT buy it there, all their listings are overpriced compared to eBay do your research. All in all though, prices are definitely going up, I bought mine years ago for $100 on 3.52 then eventually 3.60 came along, and I hacked with HENkaku, and Enso, the sailed the High Sea's with SD2Vita, and a 64 GB Micro SD Card.
Bought 10+ ps vita 1000X wifi versions and a whole slew of 3G mainboards last year. Restored and refurbished them, now I have 3G vitas with psvsds and swappable micro sd cards routed to the sim card slot, hold in place by a mini to micro sd adapter since it fits into the sim tray ;).
I want that orange vita. I’ve gotten some decent vita games from GameStop. I also got a system and expensive memory card from there but that was a few years back now
the sad thing is that the "memory cards" are still very expensiv. Best thing these days is to mod it and use an SD2Vita Adapter for the "Cartridge" Slot and use the Free Shop Version for the Vita.
Despite the vita being sadly mistreated by Sony I played the hell out of it up until 2016 and then gave it to my friend(dumbest decision I know) but then I bought a persona 4 golden Japanese vita for $400, re-downloaded every persona game to date and now I’m happy again because I loved the vita and persona 4 golden was my first ever game I played on a Sony system 😁. Good memories man.
Devin Wilson I do May a switch now but my vita 200 is coming back. Persona 4 Golden was my first in the series I went back and played p3p and played 5. And the vita played ps1 game you got from psn.
I don't understand where come from so many no case games, ppl throw away box? How then they storage cardriges? Lose in some box? Scratching of each other? :/
I bought a black PS Vita at my local Gamestop a few months ago, mainly because this Vita was in an absolute mint condition, no scratches anywhere on it. As far as games go I'm using an SD2Vita with a 128 GB micro sd. It's a nice system that feels as solid on your hands as the PSP does.
got a vita on amazon last year. had to change out the joysticks cause of drift but it has been great after it was fixed. Digimon Cyber Sleuth is my jam.
Day one Vita owner. The problem was missing L/R triggers and clickable analogs, which resulted in the touchscreen and rear touchpad being used to substitute buttons, which was INCREDIBLY awkward and your thumb or finger would accidentally brush against the corner of the screen or back of the handheld and cause you to throw a grenade, crouch, etc. plus 64gb max proprietary memcard that had to be imported from Japan and had a 50% failure rate. And it just didn’t have many good games. It felt like Wii U waiting for each new game to release. The best games on the system were the PS2 ports of Persona 2 and Final Fantasy X/X-2.
I love my Psvita and 8GB memorycard and that's enough cause I can play every game in a 8gb memorycard ❤ I Recommend these games: Seriously bro your missing 1: Uncharted Golden Abyss 2: Killzone Mercenary 3: Resistance Burning Skies 4: Mortal Kombat 5: Dead or Alive 5 plus 6: Ninja Gaiden 1 7: Ninja Gaiden 2 8: Assassin Creed Liberation 9: Assassin Creed Chronicles 12: Unit 13 13: Soul Sacrifice Delta 14: freedom Wars 15: Tearaway 16: Gravity Rush 17: Sonic and all star racing 18: METAL GEAR SOLID HD COLLECTION 20: RATCHET AND CLANK COLLECTION 23: GOW COLLECTION 25: INJUSTICE GODS AMONG US 26: Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate 27: Sly Cooper Thieves in Time 30: Sly Cooper Collection 31: Need For Speed 32: Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 33: Virtua Tennis 4 34: Rayman Legends 35: Rayman Origins 36: Wipeout 2048 37: Borderland 2 38: little Big PLANET 39: The amazing spider man 40: God eater 2016 41: THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 1 42: THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 2 43: THE WOLF AMONG US 47: Four One Piece Games 48: Street Fighter X Tekken 49: Ridge Racer 50: Hilldivers 51: Final fantasy games 54: Persona 4 Golden 55: Michael Jackson Experience 😱❤ 56: Uppers 57: Mod nation 58: Child Of light 59: Lego Star wars TFA (open hub) 60: Lego Marvel Avengers (open world lego) And more😱😱😱 You are missing lots of great games😂❤❤❤ And you can play PSP, PS1, PS3 PORTS AND PS2 PORTS AND REMOTE PLAY😱❤ Long live Psvita

When I worked at Gamestop a few years ago we had to throw out DS cases even if they were pristine just because there was no wall or shelf space for them. I ended up just taking a lot of them home either for myself or to sell on ebay as replacements mainly cause I hated to see them go to waste.
That's really sad. I would never buy a game without a case or in a bad condition. In Japan, where space is scarce, none of used games stores do such a horrible thing as throwing out original cases. Also used games are in pristine condition, send in sturdy package so nothing gets broken. Postal service is also taking good care of sent packages. In USA they put your big mail on a doorstep... and then a thief comes to take it, right? Here if it won't fit into mailbox and you're not home they take it back. Then you call or use internet form to set time when they should come again. If you do it before 17:00, they can come again even the same day. I wish everyone in every country such a good service.
I know I’m late to the party, but Great vid! I’ve got only about 15 games or so for the Vita, all CIB. Game Stops in my area only have a handful of Vita games and only a few games have the original case. If I buy one with a generic case and the later see the original case, Game Stop always gives me the original case. Sometimes they ask me to return the generic case, and sometimes they don’t.
I ordered some two weeks ago. Got two in the black cases, one in the clear plastic holder, two factory sealed still, and two in their cases. I found replacement cases on eBay for cheap.
I own 6 vitas 4 are modded 2 are like new as back ups and have my Sony account linked to one so I can download my actual purchases from before I had every ROM
I have 2 The 1000 and 2000 "Slim" Both hacked BECAUSE yoy can put a plugin that lets you REBIND buttons to anything especially useful for remote playing ps4
As someone who used to work in freight sorting, a shoe print is probably one of the least worrisome things that can happen to your frieght. I mean, it could have been crushed by a tire or had wine leak all over it... Or get smashed between a forklift.
Presently we're sitting at three-hundred and thirteen (313) games released for the Vita in North America, with seven (7) more games remaining to be released. Games are still actively being developed and released for the Vita in Southeast Asia and Japan, though that has slowed considerably.
The Ninja Gaiden Sigma-titles are indeed great titles to own. Definitely not the best titles when it comes to performance, but they have a great combat system and are packed with content! And I personally own the European version of Disney's Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Is this one the rare one, or just the North American version?
Uncharted. Metal Gear collection. Sly Cooper collection. Persona 4. Marvel vs Capcom. Even the Baseball games like MLB 12/13 are really, really good. If you're an achievement hunter, all games have them. Love this system and it has many great games on it.
I actually bought a set of Raycons with your link and discount code. Reviews seemed solid, my old generic brand set is starting to mess up, and there was no tax or shipping on the order. Don't let me down, man. These better be good.
GameStop is kinda a lost cause for me for vita games now. They zero out the whole inventory and just put the cartridges out with the ds games behind the protective glass.
Gamestop stores are supposed to at least have replacement cases, but it costs the stores to order them, so some stores dont order them. A LOT of people used to trade just the carts in. Stores are not supposed to use the baggies or the plastic shells for the vita games, as well as remove the price stickers. You also got multiple packages for 1 order because all the vita orders are fulfilled from stores nowadays, and that means no 1 store had all the games from that order. To answer the case throw out: Corporate hasn't made a note about it since the original DS. A lot of stores still keep DS/3ds/vita games that have cases/art and will sell them with it, the issue is that with handheld systems, people dont keep the cases, usually just kept them in a multi cart carrying case and traded in games loose.
I’ve had the same problems as well. I always check local Game Stops before placing any order. Lukie Games is alright to order from, and when you click on the game, it will tell you if it is just a cartridge or if it comes with the case.
Psp wasn’t abandoned by Sony it was killed off by piracy. It got hacked before it had a chance to challenge Nintendo for the handheld crown. It got a lot of games as Sony tried to fight off the hacking community. It still pisses me off how the hacking community destroys consoles from truly being what they could be.
Sharing Lungs I’d say it’s a mix of both tbh, but I still mostly blame Sony for failing to give the Vita the support it deserved. Even after the PSP was relatively successful, meaning they dropped the ball *hard* on its successor. While yes, Sony did try to fight off hackers (which’s a reason the Vita had such an overpriced proprietary SD card), I feel like they didn’t do it enough, and eventually just gave up on doing so, which’s why the Vita ended up dying before reaching its full potential and is so easy to hack nowadays. Compare that to Nintendo, where hacking the 3DS and eventually the Switch is a huge risk due to the fact that they’ll perma-ban you with the slightest provocation, then you can see why they’ve still reigned in the handheld market.
if there isnt original artwork or cases they should charge less cash for them. i never understood that. especially if theyre cartridge only. they should be even cheaper. last i heard their S&H from their website is friggin ridiculous.
The Vita is amazing if u have custom firmware. That’s pretty much what everyone uses it with now. I can get any game for free, display the screen on my computer and emulate so much shit. Also using a 128gb card. It’s pretty boring without the hacks honestly
My recommendations of PS Vita Exclusives: Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus, Hyperdimension Neptunia U Action Unleashed, Superdimension Neptunia vs SEGA Hard Girls, Valkyrie Drive!
You got 3 different packages because when the warehouse doesn't have the game in stock they get random stores to fulfill the order . Also you'll not get original boxes because most stores are required to trash them and clam-shell the the games and place them in the glass case with the 3DS games to save wall/rack space . They don't care about collectibility
You make the the best videos, I still use my ps vita slim along with my switch as my primary handhelds. Most of their games are going up in price on eBay. If you can get the box separately and just the the game from game stop I would suggest doing that. Either way the ps vita is still a great system.
The Vita was cool, but I felt I wasted my money getting one when it first came out lol. I'm a Sony guy than Nintendo and Microsoft, but the Vita was an average handheld system.
Pretty sure that between people that would toss the cases and keep the games in their Vita case, and Gamestop trashing cases to save on shelf space in store, I would never expect to get a case when ordering online.
I used to work at a distribution center and the shoe print is not surprising they get like a million of those things a day and they’re always falling off the belts all over the floor and in between trucks. To bad that these delivery companies are too greedy to hire the right amount of loaders and drivers to keep things orderly, especially around the holidays.
I know it's not elegant, but I keep loose Vita cards in an SD Card case. It has sleeves similar to trading card binders but smaller, obviously. It does the trick!
The reason you got multiple packages is gamestop's order fulfillment program takes the ordered item from stores across the country. Uncharted golden abyss, borderlands 2, ninja gaiden sigma 1 and 2, gravity rush, ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 are some great additions. The vita is also import friendly and that expands the library greatly.
The fact that GameStop throws cases and boxes away just blows my collector mind.... I walked into a GS here about a week or so ago, they had just got a CIB Black Nintendo Wii console traded in and I knew they were going to toss the original box.....so I thought that for the $50 price point that they sell Wii's for, I could afford to save a CIB Wii from the dumpster. The guy was literally in the process of boxing the console up in one of those standard GameStop Wii themed boxes, and was gonna toss the original box. Glad to have saved it! It's just a hard pill to swallow as a collector that GameStop is essentially doing the current and future collectors market a massive disservice by throwing things away - especially something as small as Vita, 3DS and DS cases. It makes me wonder how many retro games have been traded into GameStop since they started their retro program that have had likes SNES, GBA, N64, Genesis (etc.) boxes and manuals just tossed into the dumpster! That's scary!
if only they didn't do the whole stupid overpriced proprietary memory cards
@Nah Boi I think it may have to do with piracy, but Idk exactly
@Nah Boi they wanted to try and stop piracy.
That's the reason I hardly play anything on the Vita and used my 3DS insteat. It's such a shame Sony didn't do anything about or helped the Vita somehow.

I had a lot of luck for a few months, but that well is really starting to dry up. I'd argue that if you wanted to collect for the Vita, you're definitely a few months late for the really good grabs.
You should pick up Tales of Hearts R, it was a GameStop exclusive. For the physical at least. And it’s a great game imo for the Vita.
Great game!
Worst game i ever played
Mediocre title in tales of series...
overrated game. never managed to finished it. zestiria is leagues better and thats a bad game.
@@chaikagaz coming from they guy with Destiny content on his channel? Yeah, ok buddy. Your opinion is null and void.
You would be surprised how many people I've seen trade in Not only PS Vita games but Nintendo DS, 3DS , Nintendo Switch games with no original cases it's rare to see people trade them with a case at all. Also the reason for the different packages is because they games are coming from different gamestops so whichever location has that game you ordered they will ship it out to you.
I would never buy second hand games without seeing a picture at least
I never buy used games period because people treat their stuff like shit! I'd rather spend the money and get sealed copies.
@@chriswells7322 ooooh rich kid gets furious lol
@@Vyrkhan actually I'm a grown ass man, Douche Canoe!
Chris Wells
I buy pre owned (not from gamestop) but most of the time it is in a great condition
And its better for the environment
@@chriswells7322 that's kind of tough when the system and it's games have been discontinued
That’s the problem with GameStop they just don’t care about their games and have no collectibility whatsoever, but that should be a given at this point, problem is they still demand the full price for the game despite its condition, you’d get a better deal buying from eBay for the money and you’d get the complete product case and all.
The local market has plenty of them around me, bought a few for a while when I fell in the Vita rabbit hole and bought some for friends. The prices went from 50 to 100+ € averaging at 80, still getting notifications everyday and if I had more money/time I'd buy them all.
This console was a hardware showcase that was ahead of its time and Sony let the PS4 cannibalize it, also trying to sell Xperia phones making the Vita looking even less meaningful at the time, finishing with no Monster Hunter games and overall very poor developer support on it.... And the proprietary cards obviously, but today that's not a problem anymore...
It's a shame
My local buy/sell/exchange shop had one of these in this morning for £80 with a couple of games. For secondhand I thought that was a bit steep. I didn’t realise they were becoming a desirable collectors piece.
If you're going to continue building your vita collection I recommend getting the danganronpa games on the system. It's an amazing visual novel and I highly recommend it.
No !
Yes !
It's not even a horror game but it still keeps me up all night. Maybe I'm just a pussy. Still, it's really good stuff.
As a fan of Danganronpa, I highly recommend playing it on the Vita. My friends have the PS4 versions and told me how it didn't feel natural playing on a controller as opposed to handheld
@@kyleb.9533 I agree it is weird playing a VN on the big screen. The vita is where they shine.
I swear I'm the only guy that buys Vita games at the GameStop in my town.
Same. Sadly, all the stores are pulling them off the floor now, so that they can put call of duty socks out. I'm over 200 games, and a good number of those are from 4 for $10/$20 or buy 2 g 1 sales. I finally decided to buy games that didn't have original cover art during the last prestige sale while I still had elite, with the idea that I could find them later on and exchange, but now that they hide them, it makes it so much harder, and I am having regret.
Yeah Me too Guess we're still standing
Same, sadly my Gamestop sucks and only has 5 games out on the floor at any given time and when they're gone there wont be more
0:15 "not worth keeping alive" is an euphemism in this case.
In all honesty: Sony didn't let the Vita just die...
They pretty much *murdered* it via neglection.
5:19 Reminds me of the time I ordered a Heartcontainer-Keychain from Etsy and the maker deemed it necessary to send it in box with 30x40cm dimensions filled with lots and lots of these typical fluffy protection things. I actually had trouble _finding_ the Keychain...
In the Western market the marketing was wrong and with that coming poor sales and just a few Triple A Games.
Don't forget the memory card bs, people were smart enough to see that sony was simply trying to pull a fast cash grab. Especially when the competition at that time (3ds) showed that using inexpensive SD cards was no problem at all.
Hackers used RESURRECT!
Vita is now alive! (again)
@@polyphonydigital : Well kinda alive... more like in a coma... a very serious brain dead coma... BUT alive. So technically no murder charge on sonys side but a sever case of live threatening body injury.
The Vita didn't just *die*
It was *murdered*

Sd2vita so u don’t have to spend hundreds on a memory card!
Hundred*
Vita Has to be modded
Brett Cooper ..yeah
Brett Cooper easy just did mine in 20 minutes
CAIDK _ no about 5 Minutes
What the heck people do with their cases? Throw em to bin and keep their carts in a jar?
Am I the only one who thinks Sony didn't neglect the Vita? Sony brought lots of good games to the Vita with Uncharted, Tearaway, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone, Persona, Resistance, WipeOut and a lot more. It even had an exclusive Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed. I think the real reason it didn't do well was they somehow barely marketed it. Nobody knew it existed and if you did, you had to buy a ridiculously expensive proprietary memory card. That killed it in my opinion, but in terms of games, Sony did what they realistically could.
ah freedom wars thousends of hours and i still go back
I frequent vintage games shops around my area a lot and when I come across a wanted game sans case I ask if they have any generic cases for the game (ex: 3DS case for a 3DS game, Vita case for a Vita game, Gameboy case for a Gameboy game etc) and the employee or whoever runs the shop are actually cool enough to give me a case. When that happens I just print out custom box art to size at home and slip it onto the box. I did that for Resistance Burning Skies. You could try doing that.
I still have mine, it's such a good system, so sad that it didn't really took off. Was a great system for the portable RPG and T-Rpg
Reason for several packages is because Vita games are still sold at the store so online orders are fulfilled by stores. Your order likely had to be fulfilled by different stores because of inventory (since most stores have very limited inventory on vita games).
I got one like two years ago for Christmas because I sold my original one, and wanted to get one again, especially the Slim version. The cashier guy on the counter asked me why the hell did I want that since I mostly bought PS4 and Switch games on the store. I'm looking at those Vitas going up in price online laughing my ass off because I got mine at a reasonable price
How much was yours for?
I have two. Bought a Japanese 2000 console in blue, brand new, from PlayAsia. Cost me about $125 shipped. Then got a 1000 for $90 in almost perfect condition used. Glad I collected when I did.
I tried looking around again, I own a Vita 1000, but I like the sleek look of the Vita 2000.
However I highly recommend if you shop exclusively on Amazon, to NOT buy it there, all their listings are overpriced compared to eBay do your research.
All in all though, prices are definitely going up, I bought mine years ago for $100 on 3.52 then eventually 3.60 came along, and I hacked with HENkaku, and Enso, the sailed the High Sea's with SD2Vita, and a 64 GB Micro SD Card.
I got my vita on amazon for 105€ in box
I have two, one that needs to be repaired, and another, that I use for P E R S O N A
Bought 10+ ps vita 1000X wifi versions and a whole slew of 3G mainboards last year. Restored and refurbished them, now I have 3G vitas with psvsds and swappable micro sd cards routed to the sim card slot, hold in place by a mini to micro sd adapter since it fits into the sim tray ;).
I want that orange vita. I’ve gotten some decent vita games from GameStop. I also got a system and expensive memory card from there but that was a few years back now
the sad thing is that the "memory cards" are still very expensiv. Best thing these days is to mod it and use an SD2Vita Adapter for the "Cartridge" Slot and use the Free Shop Version for the Vita.
Despite the vita being sadly mistreated by Sony I played the hell out of it up until 2016 and then gave it to my friend(dumbest decision I know) but then I bought a persona 4 golden Japanese vita for $400, re-downloaded every persona game to date and now I’m happy again because I loved the vita and persona 4 golden was my first ever game I played on a Sony system 😁. Good memories man.
Devin Wilson I do May a switch now but my vita 200 is coming back. Persona 4 Golden was my first in the series I went back and played p3p and played 5. And the vita played ps1 game you got from psn.
I still have the 3G version of my vita that I bought for $120 Canadian

Anybody know where I can find a charging cable for a Vita? One of the old ones to be specific.
I bought a black PS Vita at my local Gamestop a few months ago, mainly because this Vita was in an absolute mint condition, no scratches anywhere on it. As far as games go I'm using an SD2Vita with a 128 GB micro sd. It's a nice system that feels as solid on your hands as the PSP does.
got a vita on amazon last year. had to change out the joysticks cause of drift but it has been great after it was fixed. Digimon Cyber Sleuth is my jam.
Robert Strawn I think it’s getting re-released on Switch or something.
Yeah, now the hybrid version finally came to Switch people. NOICE.
Robert Strawn After reading this comment, I can definitely see why the Nintendo Switch Lite is considered a successor. 😂 Drifting!
Day one Vita owner. The problem was missing L/R triggers and clickable analogs, which resulted in the touchscreen and rear touchpad being used to substitute buttons, which was INCREDIBLY awkward and your thumb or finger would accidentally brush against the corner of the screen or back of the handheld and cause you to throw a grenade, crouch, etc. plus 64gb max proprietary memcard that had to be imported from Japan and had a 50% failure rate. And it just didn’t have many good games. It felt like Wii U waiting for each new game to release. The best games on the system were the PS2 ports of Persona 2 and Final Fantasy X/X-2.
I love my Psvita and 8GB memorycard and that's enough cause I can play every game in a 8gb memorycard ❤

When I worked at Gamestop a few years ago we had to throw out DS cases even if they were pristine just because there was no wall or shelf space for them. I ended up just taking a lot of them home either for myself or to sell on ebay as replacements mainly cause I hated to see them go to waste.
That's really sad. I would never buy a game without a case or in a bad condition.
In Japan, where space is scarce, none of used games stores do such a horrible thing as throwing out original cases. Also used games are in pristine condition, send in sturdy package so nothing gets broken.
Postal service is also taking good care of sent packages. In USA they put your big mail on a doorstep... and then a thief comes to take it, right? Here if it won't fit into mailbox and you're not home they take it back. Then you call or use internet form to set time when they should come again. If you do it before 17:00, they can come again even the same day.
I wish everyone in every country such a good service.
The vita is probably the best emulation handheld of all time, if you can figure out how to hack it it's insanely good for emulators
It's a headache to develop things.
best way for mobile emulation is the switch
Nay best emulator is to use smart phones
BakaNeko minus the mobile part. And the fact that hacking a switch will gain you a permaban.
No definitely Android phones and second would be the Switch.
I work at GameStop we have a SINGLE vita system and a small game selection but we do have CASES!! 🤷🏼♂️
well just slap some CFW on your vita and you're good to go
I know I’m late to the party, but Great vid! I’ve got only about 15 games or so for the Vita, all CIB. Game Stops in my area only have a handful of Vita games and only a few games have the original case. If I buy one with a generic case and the later see the original case, Game Stop always gives me the original case. Sometimes they ask me to return the generic case, and sometimes they don’t.
I would never order pre owned at Gamestop. The last time I ordered pre owned online and the order was a mess.
Same here, If I am going to get something preowned from them, it's at a store location, so i can inspect it before buying it.
I feel comfortable buying preowned at the store, as I can see what I’m buying. But yeah, online is definitely a no.
I ordered some two weeks ago. Got two in the black cases, one in the clear plastic holder, two factory sealed still, and two in their cases. I found replacement cases on eBay for cheap.
What did you get factory sealed??
I own 6 vitas 4 are modded 2 are like new as back ups and have my Sony account linked to one so I can download my actual purchases from before I had every ROM
Why did you need that many of them?
@@ZackSNetwork I have three. I would say most likely for collection purposes. Other than that they are usually sitting inside one of my shelves.

The 1000 and 2000 "Slim"
Both hacked BECAUSE yoy can put a plugin that lets you REBIND buttons to anything especially useful for remote playing ps4
As someone who used to work in freight sorting, a shoe print is probably one of the least worrisome things that can happen to your frieght. I mean, it could have been crushed by a tire or had wine leak all over it... Or get smashed between a forklift.
That awkward moment when you actually own all those games showcased in the video with their original cases and cover artworks lol
Presently we're sitting at three-hundred and thirteen (313) games released for the Vita in North America, with seven (7) more games remaining to be released. Games are still actively being developed and released for the Vita in Southeast Asia and Japan, though that has slowed considerably.
I strongly recomend to get the ninja gaiden games those are some really hard to get games and if you come across epic mickey that one is a must
The Ninja Gaiden Sigma-titles are indeed great titles to own. Definitely not the best titles when it comes to performance, but they have a great combat system and are packed with content!
And I personally own the European version of Disney's Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Is this one the rare one, or just the North American version?
Uncharted. Metal Gear collection. Sly Cooper collection. Persona 4. Marvel vs Capcom. Even the Baseball games like MLB 12/13 are really, really good. If you're an achievement hunter, all games have them. Love this system and it has many great games on it.
@@dynastymusou8906 only american (i can buy epic mickey for 6$ now with case )
I actually bought a set of Raycons with your link and discount code. Reviews seemed solid, my old generic brand set is starting to mess up, and there was no tax or shipping on the order. Don't let me down, man. These better be good.
If you want a Persona4 Golden case, I can sell mine to you.
GameStop is kinda a lost cause for me for vita games now. They zero out the whole inventory and just put the cartridges out with the ds games behind the protective glass.
I still use my modded psvita from time to time to this day
Gamestop stores are supposed to at least have replacement cases, but it costs the stores to order them, so some stores dont order them. A LOT of people used to trade just the carts in. Stores are not supposed to use the baggies or the plastic shells for the vita games, as well as remove the price stickers.
You also got multiple packages for 1 order because all the vita orders are fulfilled from stores nowadays, and that means no 1 store had all the games from that order.
To answer the case throw out: Corporate hasn't made a note about it since the original DS. A lot of stores still keep DS/3ds/vita games that have cases/art and will sell them with it, the issue is that with handheld systems, people dont keep the cases, usually just kept them in a multi cart carrying case and traded in games loose.
Custom firmware + PKGJ + SD2Vita.
Nuff said.
Except it is not enough said:
Adrenaline
@@legendaryoutcast4440 ah yes of course. that too. But I was mainly talking to the people that just wanna play vita games haha.
I’ve had the same problems as well. I always check local Game Stops before placing any order. Lukie Games is alright to order from, and when you click on the game, it will tell you if it is just a cartridge or if it comes with the case.
The PS Vita might’ve been abandoned by Sony, buy oh boy, is it an amazing firmware device.
Psp wasn’t abandoned by Sony it was killed off by piracy. It got hacked before it had a chance to challenge Nintendo for the handheld crown. It got a lot of games as Sony tried to fight off the hacking community. It still pisses me off how the hacking community destroys consoles from truly being what they could be.
Sharing Lungs I’d say it’s a mix of both tbh, but I still mostly blame Sony for failing to give the Vita the support it deserved. Even after the PSP was relatively successful, meaning they dropped the ball *hard* on its successor.
While yes, Sony did try to fight off hackers (which’s a reason the Vita had such an overpriced proprietary SD card), I feel like they didn’t do it enough, and eventually just gave up on doing so, which’s why the Vita ended up dying before reaching its full potential and is so easy to hack nowadays. Compare that to Nintendo, where hacking the 3DS and eventually the Switch is a huge risk due to the fact that they’ll perma-ban you with the slightest provocation, then you can see why they’ve still reigned in the handheld market.
if there isnt original artwork or cases they should charge less cash for them. i never understood that. especially if theyre cartridge only. they should be even cheaper. last i heard their S&H from their website is friggin ridiculous.
The Vita is amazing if u have custom firmware. That’s pretty much what everyone uses it with now. I can get any game for free, display the screen on my computer and emulate so much shit. Also using a 128gb card. It’s pretty boring without the hacks honestly
Do u know where I can learn how to hack my vita? And do I need a pc to do so?
Man those memory cards were so expensive I still have the original vita with a 4gb and 8gb memory card.
Hotshot was one of those games everybody in the 90s use to play.
Seems like game stop is the worst games store ever in your country
Every store will not send vita games in that condition. Apparently some stores dont know how to ship stuff properly.
I really hope that Sony give the whole portable console another chance!
Thanks For The Tips. Great Video!

@@elbre joy cons are not pretty to use+they are too expensive
You got 3 different packages because when the warehouse doesn't have the game in stock they get random stores to fulfill the order . Also you'll not get original boxes because most stores are required to trash them and clam-shell the the games and place them in the glass case with the 3DS games to save wall/rack space . They don't care about collectibility
Gamestop does disappointing service. Really.
Killzone mercenary is amazing just make sure when you play it you make it through each whole area because the checkpoints are far apart
As a vita collector, I approve of this video 😂
You make the the best videos, I still use my ps vita slim along with my switch as my primary handhelds. Most of their games are going up in price on eBay. If you can get the box separately and just the the game from game stop I would suggest doing that. Either way the ps vita is still a great system.
The Vita was cool, but I felt I wasted my money getting one when it first came out lol. I'm a Sony guy than Nintendo and Microsoft, but the Vita was an average handheld system.
Pokemon destroys all competition!
Pretty sure that between people that would toss the cases and keep the games in their Vita case, and Gamestop trashing cases to save on shelf space in store, I would never expect to get a case when ordering online.
I thought the Lite was the successor to the 3DS?????? 🤔 No but seriously that gray switch lite is so damn clean!!!
I used to work at a distribution center and the shoe print is not surprising they get like a million of those things a day and they’re always falling off the belts all over the floor and in between trucks. To bad that these delivery companies are too greedy to hire the right amount of loaders and drivers to keep things orderly, especially around the holidays.

It should be illegal to throw away those Cases since its just more Plastic Trash out there :P
but i wonder why they dont use a CD Spindle to sell their Disc Games :P
The reason you got multiple packages is gamestop's order fulfillment program takes the ordered item from stores across the country. Uncharted golden abyss, borderlands 2, ninja gaiden sigma 1 and 2, gravity rush, ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 are some great additions. The vita is also import friendly and that expands the library greatly.
It looks like more like a McDonald’s toy then a PlayStation
I ordered 4 games earlier this year for my Vita through Amazon and each came with a case. PS4G, Odin Sphere, MvC3 and Tearaway
I said the joke on Twitter, so I'll just repeat myself... Didn't you finish the collection the moment you got Persona 4 golden? 🤔
The fact that GameStop throws cases and boxes away just blows my collector mind.... I walked into a GS here about a week or so ago, they had just got a CIB Black Nintendo Wii console traded in and I knew they were going to toss the original box.....so I thought that for the $50 price point that they sell Wii's for, I could afford to save a CIB Wii from the dumpster. The guy was literally in the process of boxing the console up in one of those standard GameStop Wii themed boxes, and was gonna toss the original box. Glad to have saved it! It's just a hard pill to swallow as a collector that GameStop is essentially doing the current and future collectors market a massive disservice by throwing things away - especially something as small as Vita, 3DS and DS cases. It makes me wonder how many retro games have been traded into GameStop since they started their retro program that have had likes SNES, GBA, N64, Genesis (etc.) boxes and manuals just tossed into the dumpster! That's scary!
