Vita Purchase

[HeroZero]

My older PS-Vita died about a year ago and I am thinking about getting a replacement.

1st off --- how long do you think it would be before Sony stops supporting my huge inventory of PS+ games?

2nd --- any suggestions on where to get a good replacement --- hopefully < $100 w/ shipping.

I bought a Vita a few months ago and I saw Vita Slims all over the place at pawn shops for $100 sticker price, which means you can easily talk them down to $80 out the door most likely considering how few people play the Vita. But I wanted the OLED Vita and could not find one at a pawn shop with a charger and got stuck paying $140 after tax for a used one at Gamestop so I could (1) get the proprietary charger and (2) make sure the screen was in great shape, since a lot of the OLEDs look pretty bad years later. I would never buy a used OLED Vita-1000 without seeing it in person first to see how good the screen still is.

I don't think you need to worry about the store shutting down. They still have the PSP store active.

I pre-ordered the original Vita years ago and was thinking of upgrading too, but I don't really use it all that often. Aside from a few good exclusives and well-ported indie titles there just isn't much there for me. The last few times I've picked it up I had to reset the date and time lol
