Bought for my 9 year old son, but I now want one for myself to use with my PS4&3. after my son got a PS3 last year, he loves building little big planet levels.. Makes mine craft seem so boring.
You can't get these kind of deep games on a phone.. I love my apple devices but I wanted to Encourage concentration & better attention span. For kids setup a master & sub PlayStation Network (PSN) account is needed for parent controls.. Don't wait until right before time to give gift as it may take a while, & don't try to setup on Christmas as the servers are too busy for about 4 days (due to DDOS hackers trying to disrupt).. If you haven't setup master & sub account before You Can always use Sony's free Support chat from their website to walk you through it, but worth the quick chat & initial setup for quality parental controls.
We got a 32GB memory card & buy digital game downloads through PlayStation Store (cheapest for games) & nothin to lose as it can be redownloaded if needed. Holds & plays all the same media as a smartphone, so it works as music player, video recorder & watching movies, & other media.
Has front & rear cameras, touch on front & back, much more features than we even knew.. & there are even free games in the PS Store, & if the mobile phone type games is your thing they have those too, though this system is made for so much more!
Exceeded expectations! & the cross-platform games that play on both PlayStation 3 or 4 & the Vita are awesome for gameplay & budget, huge win!

The Vita is a big improvement over the PSP which was a load of fun in itself, but you can do so much more with the Vita. I like the companionship with the PS4, touchscreen and graphics. The abilities and capabilities of the Vita are the reasons why I continue to play on this handheld.

I got this Playstation Vita for my son, he had the older version but he likes this one better because it's ligther and thinner than the older version one. It's not heavy when he's playing with it.

I like the vita, just not that the memory cards are so expensive. I wish sony didn't make the buttons feel so cheap, I mean the psp 1000 was what I had before and I feel like I need to be more careful button mashing on the vita. But it is a cool portable console.

Extremely happy with this product! My son loves it and plays all the time. Battery seems to keep good charge and has an awesome display. Did seem like took a while to down load games (over 45 mins) unless we were doing something wrong. Prefer actual disc games over memory storage games for that reason. besides that durable and a lot of fun!

I really do love the system; however, I wish there were more games that I liked for it. The PlayStation plus membership makes it way better though. All of the game remakes are great but I haven't found that one unique game that has made me love the system even more.

This is a good system but there are not a lot of games for it. A majority of the games are only downloadable the the PSN store. The games I have seen require quite a bit of space but that is expected from these kinds of games because of the graphics and stuff. This is fine but then you got to invest in buying a large memory card with could cost about as much as the system. Overall, it's good depending on what you're into.

Bought this Sony Vita for my 8 year old. He absolutely loves it and the graphics and functionality seem better than the competitors models. I would only like to see more E rated games become available. I will likely get this for my younger son as well.

Sony PS Vita is awesome. The quality is superb and the controls are easy to understand. Even my 8 year old kid can handle it easily and have good grip on the controls. I am very happy with the purchase. Just one thing that games are very expensive for Vita.
