Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love my Vita! I use it on the go and when at home. I have been using a lot lately for remote play on the PS4.

I use this to play with my PS4 and I us it when I travel. I like the graphics, the games and the ease of use.

This would be my second vita I've owned. First one I got rid of because of the horrid library, but this time around it has filled out quite nicely. For the lower-ish price tag it's not bad for the games out (I'm a fan of RPG's). To keep this short: -If you like obscure RPG or Action titles: yes -If you like sports or FPS: no -if you don't mind dishing out extra money (a lot extra) for Sony memory cards: yes

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 purchased this PSVITA for my 16 yr old grandson's birthday. Don't need to say he was speechless! We purchased the case also and he now takes the VITA with him in the car, in my living room and anywhere. It has great picture and is very clear.

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.

My daughter wanted this as we are on the road often for competitive tennis tournaments. As such, she needs a portable device to get the most out of it. We have a couple home systems that rarely get used since we are out of town 2-3 weekends per month. The hardware works well, is compact and looks nice. The software library could be broader. The selections are all very similar. Nice unit though.

Love the new slim look great graphics easy to control with

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!

Love my psp vista.. great graphics. Easy to carry.

Definitely for older kids (10up). Only knocked off one star because I bought two and you can't have them running concurrently on PS network (one boots off the other ). Highly recommend for the savvy gamer who wants handheld access with really great graphics. You really want the ps plus account for all the free games so they pay for themselves after a while.

The design of the console is very nice and lightweight. There are some very good games available for the Vita right now so it's a great buy.

It was the PS Vita or Nintendo 3DS that I wanted to get for my 7 year old. I chose the PS Vita because of the selection of great games that even I find fun to play. I like the touch screen and it even has a touch pad on the back side. The cameras need perfect lighting to really take any kind of decent video or photo. The ability to play along with our existing PS3 sounded convenient and if we get a PS4 I've been told we can play games remotely as well. You'll have to buy a Sony memory card because only Sony's card will work. To top it off, the memory is about three times more than normal micro SD cards you would purchase for your other devices. I liked the graphics quality much more than the 3DS and my son tried a 3DS earlier and did not like the 3D feature. **The kicker to all of this is that I'm on my second PS Vita in only two months. The first PS Vita had major issues. It gave error messages after only a few days and wouldn't let me play my cartridge games. I had downloaded Minecraft and the Disney movie Tomorrowland. Both had constant problems and would not let me play. I tried over and over to uninstall/reinstall Minecraft. Tomorrowland (I paid like $20 through the Sony Store) would only play up to about 45 minutes and then would cut out and give me an error. I returned the unit back to BestBuy and exchanged for another unit. PURCHASE THE BLACK TIE PROTECTION FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR. You'll kick yourself if you don't and find out later that your PS Vita is a lemon. *** If this happens one more time, I'm returning it and getting an iPad instead for my son. Get it together Sony or stop charging so much for content!

This product is so much better than the PSP. Its featured are upgraded and faster. It is easy to navigate and the quality of the product is much improved. The battery life is great as well.

Love it! I always have it in my bag and use it on my breaks at work and on every commute!

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.

I like the psp vita i only use it away from home since i have a ps4 at home i used it on my vacation to florida on my plane rides trust me without them it would have been A horrible plane ride i recommend this product to those who want something to game away from home:

I have 2young boys who are pretty rough did not want to spend a lot of money on this product. Use it for their games and movie devises in the car. Worked great for our trip.not bulky fit nice in small case with games,movies,and other cords. They were perfect.

Found this cheaper at Best Buy and my son loves this gadget. A little big but so long as you get a carrying case for it you're fine. Very slim and graphics/capabilities are awesome. Wish this was around when I was a kid! Has Internet and all.
