Darmik 05/24/20 9:49:14 PM #1:	It petered out after like a year. The best game was an enhanced PS2 port. The store was a total mess to use. Downloads would (and still did last time I used it) corrupt for no reason. Last time I dug the thing out I needed to reformat the entire memory card. It had so much promise too. The Switch delivered what I thought the Vita would be. At least it had PSP and PS1 compatibility. And PS+ support. Can't imagine how bad it would have been without those. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:939660900] in The Vita i... [t:78716944]...</cite> <quote>It petered out after like a year.

Giblet_Enjoyer 05/24/20 9:52:47 PM #4:	Really? Is it jailbroken? Because I love my jailbroken one. Surprising amount of good games especially when you consider PSP games and it helps that I got a really nice looking one (green and white model) for pretty cheap, like $130 iirc What game are you talking about btw, because imo the best game is Atelier Rorona --- He which make friends with scorpion, soon come to find out what a scorpion does - they bite people with its tail --ancient Chinese proverb <cite>Giblet_Enjoyer posted [p:939661032] in The Vita i...

Solar_Crimson 05/24/20 9:56:18 PM #8:	I did want a Vita at one point, but I lost interest in it by the time I managed to get a disposable income again.
