Most of all digital PSP games are playable on VITA.

You cannot access PSN on PSP anymore and need to download titles via another console.

VITA has better performance and titles --- IMO.

But both are dead handhelds for new releases.

I have two. The best looking portable screen out there.

90% of my game collection is on dead consoles so this isn't an issue

Vita feels better to use and has a better screen so go for that if you can.

The downside is that some games on PSP never got a digital release so they're unable to play on Vita since it doesn't support UMD's. I'm sure those copies are expensive and rare anyway. UMD's are fucking weird and constantly make noises.

The big one that never got a digital release is Crisis Core. But it's cheap.

PSTV is awful. Can't play all games, isn't portable. Just not worth it at all.

Eh I'd rather the portable since 540p and lower looks like ass on a TV. Some games aren't supported due to no touch screen or touch pad too.

But it does do the job fine and works better for PS1 games since you can use controllers.

Just providing some of the requested specifics...

As far as physical collection goes --- both use a proprietary format. I don't know how rare games are on either nowadays.

yea, I never really considered it much, but I was a little curious because I wanted to try out Persona 4 Golden a few years ago, and I wasn't that interested in buying a new platform for a game.

You can probably set the resolution to 720P~1080P and overclock it should you desire.

As far as portables go only the DS and 3DS have comparably cheap games out there. If you want to collect I think this is probably the last chance to do it at a reasonable price. GBA games aren't rare on account of how much it sold and yet the games have become so rare counterfeit carts are produced for a profit.

Just to make a clarification to this, you can't buy games on the PSP version of the store anymore, but you can still sign into the store and download any PSP/PS1 titles in your download history.

The Vita? I got mine on ebay the other month from Japan, the going rate is $100~$130.
They function almost exactly the same aside from the O button being confirm, and the X button being cancel. Though you can fix that with some homebrew along with the bullshit memory cards.

Unfortunately no. However it is piss easy to do and Sony stopped caring about mods to the point they stop trying in their last patch. There is honestly no reason not to do the SD2Vita mod, since memory cards are long out of production and Micro-SDs through the gameslot are a lot faster.

...I need to try it again next time I'm playing a PSP title on my backlog.

I've been downloading them on my PS3, then copying them over via USB as I couldn't get it to connect directly on my PSP.

Thanks for the info!

That's messed up. I haven't lived or paid taxes in the US for years and I got one (I also got one from the Japanese government).

Not really. Hacking a PSP requires you to butcher a good battery. A Vita just requires you to be on or below a certain firmware.

While I would never endorse doing anything that goes counter to the Sony's TOS. It is a way easier to break the TOS of the PSP and make it play more games. However that is a horrible thing to do and you should not look into that or even try.

It doesn't even matter what firmware these days. Just so long as the console wasn't made super late in the Vita's life cycle.

Imo it doesn't make sense to buy PSP over VITA, especially if you are going to hack/mod it.

So, yea, VITA.
