Congrats! I hope you like it! As for accessories...

Get the Hori Screen Protector. It's the best screen protector I've used, goes on so easy with no bubbles, I believe it's a favorite of many in this sub.

For a case, I use the Hori Face Cover because I don't like to have to keep up with the case while I'm playing, since I play in public a lot. It kinda turns your Vita into a 3DS-like clamshell. Flip it open to play, and then close it shut for protection. It keeps the Vita slim so you can still fit it in your pocket, but not worry about protection.

If youre looking for a grip, I don't have a suggestion because I haven't found one I like yet. I have had multiple Nyko Power Grips that have come defective out of the box, so I don't buy anything from them. However, it seems lots of people here love that grip so YMMV.

Finally, I'd definitely recommend getting Playstation Plus. You can get 3 months for $17.99 or a year for $49.99. Basically every month they give you at least 2 free games on the Vita, but this month we got 5! If you get it before the first Tuesday in December you can get all 5 of those games for free. The 5 from this month are: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Luftrausers, The Hungry Horde, Escape Plan, and SteamWorld Dig. If you own any other Sony consoles (PS4/PS3) there's even more incentive to get PS+ because you'll get free games on those systems as well. It's the same service that allows you to play online on the PS4 (but you don't need it to play online on the Vita). You can also get discounts on games through PS+. Keep in mind that once your subscription expires, you will not be able to play the free games, but any games you bought with the PS+ discount are yours forever. That said, if you were to renew PS+ later, you would get access to all the free games you had previously claimed. Through PS+ you also get access to a cloud to store your save files, so if you have a smaller memory card you can delete and re-download games as you want to play them. Even if you only have a Vita the service is more than worth it. I'd never have to buy a game again and it would give me plenty to play, and it's opened me up to genres I never knew I'd like.

If you do get PS+, or you prefer digital games, you may eventually need a bigger memory card. As of now the biggest available in North America is 32gb, but there is a 64gb available in Asia. No games or accessories for the Vita are region locked, meaning you can play games/use memory cards from other countries. The memory cards are pretty overpriced and a 64gb runs from around $80-100. You definitely don't have to have it, but it is an option.

Anyways! That's about it. That was really long, oh well. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

u/luciit · 3 pointsr/otomegames

If you're wanting to dive into more in-depth stories for Otome, then I'd recommend investing in a PS Vita ! Although there aren't a lot of localization for JP released Otome to ENG, the neat thing about PS Vita is that it's region-free ! You'd need to change the system for it to read the game's content, as well as make a JP PlayStation Store account.

But even so ! There are plenty of localized Otome games via PSV, and some of the older ones on PSP have been ported to the PS Vita through the Store for a digital download ! I actually bought mine from Amazon. It's a tad bit more expensive than what I had bought it, but still worth it. They also give free shipping which is always a bonus ! Though, when buying just be careful which model you're getting. If you don't plan to play 5 Otome games at once, then I'd just recommend start without a SD card ( unless you plan to buy non-otome games for the PS Vita as well ). It's nice to have an SD Card, but if you plan just to buy one game for now, just go without it. You can always buy it later when needed. As far as other console, depending what region you're in, the Switch doesn't really have a lot of localized games aside from Breathe of The Wild being the biggest. If you really want to indulge in Otome games, then I'd suggest just getting a PSV as most Otome games are released excursively for the PSV only. PC released games aren't that popular in Japan, so it'd be worth to have your hands on a PSV for future games being released.

In terms which model to get, I believe for most people it's just preferences. The older PSV model's screen looks better to other users, or vise-versa where people like the weight of the newer PSV model. All about preferences, but they both play Otome games ( older or just released games ).

I don't want to go too detailed as it could get long for me, but if you want to read about the differences in the PSV models, then you can read the post on my Otome Amino to get a full in-depth of models comparison, as well as other information that you could find useful lol I'll eventually post it all here- though they're quite lengthy. then again this post is pretty lengthy as well orz

But ! If you need any help with anything, feel free to message me ! I'd love to help in anything or questions.

u/Sageypie · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon
  1. My grandmother used to work for this company called TNT Labels, and ended up bringing home a lot of the extra stuff or defective stuff on a pretty regular basis. Ended up with all sorts of weird stuff, like some of the giant promotional posters for the first Tomb Raider movie, this glittery sticker sheet stuff, those little yellow animal crossing signs, and just so much random stuff like that.

    Anyway.

    She ended up bring home a metric fuck-ton of these sheets of Halloween stickers. They were those little decals that you stuck up in your windows and what not, easy to put on and peel off. Fun stuff. Cheesy little Frankensteins, ghosts, pumpkins, and whatnot. We had this pile of these things sitting out in their garage for a few years, never really doing anything with them. So, I end up deciding to be enterprising as hell one day. It's kinda close to Halloween, I'm going to sell these things. I get her permission, get laughed at by my grandpa and dad, load up my Red Flyer as much as I can, (again, fucking ton of these things so I can only take so much at a time) and head door to door selling these things one sheet at a time. I started out charging a quarter a pop for these things, which ended up becoming fifty cents rather quickly. So I spend my day, going door to door, stopping and heading home every now and then to restock my supply.

    Should probably note that I was a little kid doing this. Cute as fuck little kid at that. Probably around 8 or 10, something like that, maybe not even that old to be honest.

    So yeah, end up going to every house on our street and on the neighboring streets as well, knocking on doors, playing up the cute kid act, selling stuff, making that sweet sweet silver. Well, partially silver anyway. I usually lucked out and had a kid answering the door, who would always flip out and buy up the sheets like no other, you know, because kids flippin' love stickers.

    By that evening I had managed to sell every single sheet of that stuff, and had netted about 200 dollars. My grandma was super proud of me. My dad and grandpa on the other hand started talking about using the money and all that, which was quickly shot down by my grandmother since, as she put it, "He did all the work and you just laughed at him."

    Ended up paying for the gas and everything for us to go to this super nice arcade in the nearby city, along with dinner and everything. Probably the coolest feeling in the world for a little kid to be able to treat his entire family to an evening out.

  2. Would really enjoy a copy of Persona 4 Golden personally. I'm a pretty big gamer, and the Persona series is one of my favorite game series. Actually had a copy of Persona 4 for the PS2 and liked it quite a bit. Ended up trading it in though because the Vita was coming out soon, and there was going to be an updated version of the game. Have a really bad habit of doing that and then not being able to get the new game. Yeah, was only like a month or two ago, I think, that I was able to get a Vita by making some trades over on...was it r/gameswap ? Can't remember exactly. Anyway, really really want to play through this thing with all the new features, characters, and fun. Would really make my day. Well, actually more my night, or nights, if we're being specific. I have a newborn son. Well, he's like four months old now actually, so I don't know if that still qualifies as a newborn. Anyway, he's mine at night, since I work second shift, and I'm typically up anyway. Downside is that he's really bad about not wanting to lay back in his crib after he wakes up with me here, and he won't sleep unless he's nestled against me on the couch, which leaves me all couch bound and unable to do much. Vita's helped out quite a bit there, since it's hard to really do any console gaming, what with not being able to trade out game discs or anything, since, you know, that requires the ability to get up.

    Yeah. Sorry for the wall o'text there. Basically it'd give me something really fun to play on my Vita, and would just make me a really happy gamer.
u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/vita

Wow, nice grab. First, I highly, highly recommend getting some grips. They make the vita less portable, but they also improve not only comfort but ease of playing since you're less likely to hit the rear touch pad. I have these and I'd recommend these to anybody, easily the best investment for the system I made. As for a case for the system itself, pretty much anything works well. The CTA one works well apparently and is <$10, which is always great. But the top-of-the-line one is the Amazon case. It's more expensive but the "heavy duty" in the name is definitely true. Game-wise, grab Uncharted, Killzone, and, if you like JRPGs, P4G. Those are probably the three best games on the system currently, though there is a metric shit-ton of great games to play after those.

u/Jumanji_ · 2 pointsr/DestinyTheGame

Vita has to be connected through wifi, PS4 can be connected through either wifi or ethernet, but you definitely want it connected through ethernet. When you're close enough to the PS4, your Vita will connect directly to the PS4 and works pretty great.


I've used it at my girlfriends house where they have slow internet and a ton of people on at the same time streaming tv, and I was about 30-50 ft from the router, it had noticeable lag and the graphics started getting rally blurred and it disconnected a few times.


Under best conditions, you'll probably want to avoid the crucible, because even with minimal lag, I think it purposely drops frames too keep the connection solid but this makes the controls feel..off. There isn't a lag, it just feels too sensitive almost. I tested it by playing with my TV still on (basically using the Vita solely as a controller) and it's very responsive and feels fine, but holding up the Vita to watch both screens at once, they both start and finish movements at the same time, the Vita just looks jumpy. It's not to hard to get used to and it works great for anything PvE, but the jarring feeling you get while turning can easily cost you a match in crucible.


Also, right bumper to fire, left bumper to ADS, feels natural obviously. But touch the right side of the screen to melee, left side for grenade, both easy to hit on accident. Center of the screen for nav mode. Tapping ▼ on the D-pad to sprint (feels easier than L3 on DS4 imo), and holding ◄ on the D-pad allows you to use ∆, Square, O, and X for your emotes. I don't know if ▲ or ► do anything, and without R3 you can't check other players unless you go to the roster ▲ on the D-pad is for character highlight, and it looks like ► doesn't do anything. Wish they would let ► allow you to compare items.

I personally love it though.

Edit: Anyone considering this should also consider getting a grip for the Vita, It makes a huge difference imo (cheap one here).

Edit 2: Control Scheme. Apparently ▲ on the D-pad is Character highlight.

u/MustMention · 2 pointsr/vita

I love the franchise, so I'm sure that makes me curve its grade better than most. But overall? Yes. I would have loved to have a 1:1 conversion of all content from Borderlands2 (especially TinyTina's adventure!), but I can still romp around in Lynchwood, listen to HandsomeJack's madness from start to finish, even take on the total conversion for the sand pirates of CaptainScarlett's addon, one of the two included. Combat feels more Ratchet&Clank than Borderlands, but it's still enjoyable and the hardware itself is a joy to hold and play on.

The biggest asset the game has on Vita is that excellent package I got mine with, where you get a memcard, the hardware, and a game to boot, all for cheaper than the regular price, or worse-case scenario, cheaper than purchasing the individual components separately. But the game feels more a fan's adventure than a standalone experience, so the current price of $20 (and sometimes $10!) is the perfect intersection between hours and hours of content and the level of gameplay. I'd still recommend, and highly recommend if you love the Borderlands franchise!

(My next hugely-anticipated title is the Vita version of XCOM, so I can buy it a 6th time, but even more portable this time around than on a full-sized tablet or eating battery off my phone!)

Exceptional conversation you've prompted on here, /u/KuronekoFan! Definitely enjoying all the responses, from yourself and all Vita VIPs!

u/idownvoteallposts · 2 pointsr/retrogaming

In that case, I'm not sure any of these solutions are authentic aside from the PSIO SD Card mod. This is the Playstation TV and it uses a PS4 controller but you can play a ton of PSX games from PSN with it, (or hack it and add your own games): https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-TV-vita/dp/B00KVMHSUM?th=1

And the Android boxes would be something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Android-32bit-support-2-4GHz-SPDIF/dp/B0777KLRW8/ref=sr_1_74_sspa?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1523471934&sr=1-74

But you would have to use an emulator and a bluetooth controller like a PS3/PS4/8BitDo controller with. They make great emulation boxes and are similar to raspberry pis in that regard, but depending on the specs of the box they tend to be a little more powerful and can support things like PSP game as well as the added benefit of Android apps like Netflix and Hulu. I have one hooked up to my tv that's been a pretty nice general entertainment box, and to be honest I've used it more than the higher end Nvidia Shield TV (which is the same thing but has exclusives like Android ports of Borderlands 2, Doom 3, Portal, and other old AAA games).

u/DookieTuesday · 2 pointsr/PS4

Well, for general emulation of older system - your best bet might be a phone if you have a semi-recent model. Just get a blue-tooth controller cradle, and maybe even check to see if your phone can cast it's screen to your TV for full-screen. You can even emulate the Dreamcast on modern android phones via Reicast.

I prefer the Vita - but there's some caveats. Most importantly, you have to install custom firmware, which is against Sony's terms of service. I've never heard of anybody being banned, but it's possible at pretty much any time. So if you go that route, make a new account that's not tied to your PS4's library. Installing CFW merely requires you to be on official firmware 3.60 and under, and then visiting a certain site. The process is pretty much automated. A better option may be the PSP - which has a much worse screen, but better controls for playing classic games IMO. You don't need a PSN login for the PSP, so no risk of being banned, and CFW is as easy to install as starting up a game. The Playstation (Vita) TV is another good option which will let you use a DS4 (or I assume compatible PS4 arcade sticks) - but functionally, works the same as the Vita. They're pretty cheap - but memory cards are ungodly expensive for meager space. Thankfully, with the PSTV running CFW, you can use USB thumb drives - and the Vita can now use SDCards via a Game Cart converter. In all of those cases, you'll need access to a PC at least temporarily (or maybe you can do it on a phone if there's a decent FTP server program) so that you can download and move the necessary files over.

There's very few actual emulators written so far for the Vita, and most of the ones you'll want are accessed through a homebrew called Adrenaline - which basically turns the Vita into a PSP. They just released a custom bubble installer for Adrenaline too, that way you can just launch the PSP emulator you want right from the home menu without having to actually go into Adrenaline first. On the downside, since these are all running via the Vita's built-in PSP functionality - you're limited to the PSP's specs... which means it can only emulate up to N64 era games (PSX games run great, N64 - not so much). No Dreamcast emulation, sadly. Maybe later natively on the Vita, but that's going to be a stretch.

Couldn't say much about the homebrew scene on the Xbox 360, since I haven't followed it. I'm sure there is. There's also an actual potential good reason to get a (cheap) Xbox One - since you can sign up for the Developer Program which will let you side-load homebrew/emulators onto the system. It doesn't seem very popular so far, and will require a connection to a Windows 10 PC.

Overall, I'd say the best and easiest bet would be to get a PSP 3000 for on-the-go, or if you want a more arcade experience in the livingroom, and you want it cheap - then a VitaTV and a good PS4 Arcade stick. Just, again... make sure it's running Official Firmware 3.6 or lower. The necessary exploits won't work on newer firmwares.

u/DarkenRaul1 · 1 pointr/Persona5

> Systems aren't easy to find except used

That's odd, I can find them pretty easily on Amazon for a fairly decent price. The PSTV and P4G together would be like the price of a new game right now which is much more appealing to someone than asking them to get a PS3 or emulate if they're not into that.

> but getting a Vita/PSTV now is a pretty terrible idea.... P4G is just about the only game worth playing on the system

That's not true, I'd argue the Vita/PSTV is a really great console for JRPG fans (which I'm assuming people who like Persona 5 are). Surprisingly the Vita sold pretty decently in Japan, and survived by porting a bunch of rpgs to the West. Got a few myself like Tails of Hearts R, and it's pretty fun ngl.

u/mpmarsee · 2 pointsr/vita

Welcome to the club. :) Really glad to hear you're loving the Vita. Tell all your friends. :)

If you dig around through this sub some, you'll find that most people (myself included) love the CTA Digital case and others like it. It's very much protective enough and does exactly what I want from it. I have had my Vita for about 7 months now and still don't have any physical game cartridges so the case only having four game slots hasn't become an issue for me at all yet.

Edit: I do also have the official Sony Vita headset and keep it in the case with my Vita all the time. It's not bulky at all and fits perfectly.

I'm kinda boring, so I don't have anything hanging from the loop on my case. If you find anything awesome, please do share. :) Hopefully that helps!

u/NeoJ4K3 · 1 pointr/vita

It all depends. People praise the old 1000 model for its oled screen but meh, its not better, I think they are equal in class, but do slightly different things.

The one you linksd is the new 2000 model, which I would recommend since it is the only model you can get new, and the small changes make it overall a better console. "Best" is always subjective, but being your first vita, I think it is best for you in this situation. The changes include.

  • new lcd screen which saves battery, has more natural color pallete
  • better battery life (worth it for this alone, the 1000 model battery is atrocious, and the 2000 fixes it some.)
  • slightly better buttons
  • better form factor and ergonomics for your hands
  • rear touch pad is less likely to be accidentally hit
  • include an onboard 1gb of memory to get you started, it CANNOT be used in conjunction with a memory card sadly, but if you get the sysyem and need to save for a memory card, the 1gb will last you for that temp time.


    Must have missed the sale, this one was one sale for 170 this week, but sadly it looks like sale has ended

    http://www.gamestop.com/ps-vita/consoles/playstation-vita-system-aqua-blue-gamestop-exclusive/125335


    There is this model as well which comes with a download voucher for borderlands 2 and an 8gb memory card, again thought the sale ended for this one as well lol

    http://www.amazon.com/Borderlands-Limited-Edition-PlayStation-Vita-Bundle/dp/B00HLT0YT0


    EDIT

    Also no problem! Just like to try and be helpful. Especially if there is a potential addition to the wonderful vita community! Lol
u/abibofile · 2 pointsr/vita

I preordered this grip from PlayAsia but looks like you get just get straight from Amazon now. https://www.amazon.com/buttons-mounted-Remote-attachment-PlayStationVita-PCH-2000/dp/B01ERA94BY It's pretty bulky but I love the fact they you can use trigger buttons for L2/R2 and L3/R3. Works reallly well for remote play! It does add weight to the system and impede portability, however. But the hand grips and trigger buttons might be a good choice if your hands are starting to ache from the grip. If you never use the rear touch pads, then any of the other grips already mentioned should work fine. Good luck!

u/LuxuryMeat · 2 pointsr/vita

Just get it, I couldn't find a US Vita before the Borderlands Vita so I got a Black/Khaki one from Japan. Wanted to make sure it was different since I wasn't getting a free game or memory. You wont even notice the X and the O are different after a while. I think only one game that I got was not US-style X and O but it wasn't a big deal (can't remember title). The menus are pretty much the only place where it is "switched" like that. When I finally found a US OLED used for my son I didn't even notice the buttons were different when I would use his. Don't change, from the Vita system menu, the buttons to swap the X and O since it will swap them in a game as well.

My PSN account is US and menus are in English. My games are from the US and in English. I also have an EU game that works fine and an ASIA game that works fine US-style.

Just get one and get some of the games that are recommended all over the place here. You will be happy. I got a 64GB memory card from Japan as well and moved my US 32GB into my son's OLED and the US 16GB into the US PS TV.

Amazon has new slims starting at around $200 and eBay has them starting around $189, both shipped. If you buy from PlayAsia or NinNin you have to wait. The hardest part was settling on a color and trying talk myself out of getting an "edition" version like Danganronpa, Minecraft, Silver Slime, or whatever since they cost more.

The OLED one has had no issues, except for the amount of charging cables I've bought. My slim would have been out of warranty when the right stick had a piece inside break. Now months later the right trigger is not 100% so I ordered a silver one from Japan. Still totally worth it for me since I have put so many hours into it. Now I have a display piece for my home office.

You will use all the same hardware and accessories as the US versions. My favorites are the 64GB (although now I have tried to only buy physical games rather than downloads), the Butterfox Double Compartment Carry Case, and a ten foot braided USB cable.

Why am I still going on with this? Just get it. My first was an Asian- I mean a Japanese Vita and it has bee great. You should have already purchased one by the time you get to the end of this.

u/wizardfingers · 2 pointsr/vita

So it turns on with the charger plugged in? Does it show any sign of power? Make sure you fiddle around with it when you're going to see it in person, check if it looks like its been tampered with.

If its not been tampered with and you don't mind spending the $40 that's a damn good deal.
Is it easy to fix? Yes if you're good with simple tools and careful and know how to follow instructions.
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/PlayStation+Vita+Teardown/7872
8/10 is a good score. The higher ifixit gives a hardware product the easier it is to fix so yes.

As of this post 12/26/2014 this ps vita battery on amazon is $30.

Via iFixit
> The battery is secured to the back case with a pair of Phillips #00 screws and... well that's it. There's no adhesive!
> The Vita's battery runs at a standard 3.7 V and packs an impressive 2210 mAh punch.

From the looks of ifixit getting to the battery is a very simple and easy fix.

The Vita is a very good handheld device if you're a casual gamer. You can find some good games here and I'm sure you can find a lot of suggestions here as well

u/garasensei · 1 pointr/vita

Since you made it a point not to mention your model I will assume you are using a vita slim. The 2 big trigger grips for the vita slim are the following

http://www.play-asia.com/l2r2-button-grip-cover-for-pch-2000-black/13/708qs3

and

www.play-asia.com/remote-play-assist-attachment-for-playstation-vita-slim/13/70a3hf


I have the vita 1000 version of the first one and it's pretty good. I have heard some complaints about build quality when it comes to the shoulder buttons but mine is pretty good. The Hori one I haven't tested but Hori is top notch when it comes to accessories. The Hori one is out of stock on play asia but you can find it on ebay and Amazon Japan (they will ship to the US but it runs about $15)


https://www.amazon.co.jp/【L2-R2、L3-R3ボタン搭載】リモートプレイアシストアタッチメント-PlayStationVita-PCH-2000専用/dp/B01ERA94BY/

If you're just looking for a smaller but still good grip I would check out the PDP Vita slim grip. The vita 1000 version is pretty great but not 100% on the slim version. Might still be worth checking out

u/Treestanding · 2 pointsr/vita

I have this grip for my Vita 1000 and it's a good step up but somehow it has made me hit the back panel way more, which in some games is a problem. It's not a bad grip, especially for the price, but if you have a 2000, then I STRONGLY recommend the Hori grip with L2/R2 L3/R3 triggers. It feels better material-wise, it is super comfortable, and the triggers are a great addition especially if you want to try some Remote play.

u/holz55 · 3 pointsr/vita

This grip.

It's kind of ugly, and you can't charge while it's attached, but it's very comfortable.

There were a couple other grips I've been considering. I would love suggestions if anyone has a grip they love. I want one that doesn't block the charger port.

I would definitely recommend this grip, but I'm still on the lookout for a better one.

u/Cornholio309 · 4 pointsr/PSP

While playing Vita on the PSP games is certainly feasible and looks great, I'm not sure if I can recommend it personally as the best "nicer experience", and this is coming from somebody who thinks the Vita is pretty awesome.

The issue is that the Vita has proprietary memory cards and, as of this writing, there's a lack of any sort of commercial adapter that can overcome the issue. There have been some "proof of concepts", but nothing has been released commercially and it might stay that way for a good while. The proprietary memory card prices are insane, and if you plan to store a lot of PSP titles on the Vita, you're going to have to shell out a fair amount of money. PSN spoofing also died a while back, so the only way to get Adrenaline/ARK (both applications that would allow you to play any PSP ISO on your memory card) would be to use a PS3 to transfer a valid PSP title to your Vita.

Honestly, I'd go with the 3000 if you could get a decent screen protector as it's the best bang for your buck. You could grab that, grab a microSD card adapter (giving you tons of room to store games), then install CFW. Pro CFW and LME CFW let you bring up a menu that looks like this on your XMB just by pressing select. You can change the USB Device to "UMD", plug it into the computer while a UMD is inserted, and then drag and drop the ISO that pops up into your computer. Doing this, you can place it back onto your memory stick (after changing the storage device again), and you've dumped your title!

The Go would probably be my second choice. I found my hands cramped up with it if I used it on games that relied heavily on the L and R buttons, but outside of that it's surprisingly portable and nice to use. It doesn't have any existing microSD adapter I can think of however, so you're stuck with the 16GB built-in memory unless you can grab another proprietary card. There's no way to dump your UMDs either unless you use your 1000 to do so (by doing the same method I suggested above with the 3000 - you'll have to update your PSP however).

2nd edit: Actually you might be okay on 6.39. The menu I'm describing I think exists in that CFW as well.

No one's suggested Danganronpa, re: games? Gotta fix that.

As a female vita owner who also likes J-games, I'm going to recommend Danganronpa. If you think your wife would like a game about teenagers trapped in a school and forced to kill each other, where one of the main characters is an animatronic wise-cracking bear. And if she doesn't already have it.

...only if she likes to read, though, since it's a visual novel (with mini-games and wandering around the school, but still a ton of reading).

If she likes that, there are two other Danganronpa games + a future game on the horizon.

If she ends up liking visual novels, there's also the Steins;Gate visual novel and Virtue's Last Reward (which I haven't yet played myself but have been assured is fantastic).

I also totally second P4G. And Project Diva, if she likes rhythm games. And maybe Hatoful Boyfriend, if you think she'd like dating pigeons.

There are also a bunch of classic PS1 JRPGs available for the vita via the PSN store for super-cheap, like Final Fantasy and Suikoden.

Can't help too much with accessories, except to say that you should definitely get her a big memory card if you can, and that the P4G Dancing All Night Collector's Edition includes a neat pouch and vita skin. Depends on whether she's into P4G, though.

Edit: quick grammar fix

This one is extremely inexpensive but it works perfectly:

New Trigger Grips Black Compatible With PSVita Playstation Vita by Brainydeal
Link: http://amzn.com/B0081EH12M

I love it love it love it. Seriously, for $4 just buy it and you can't go wrong. My only complaint is that my Vita doesn't fit in the case with the grip, but that's true for any of them.

u/DrunkeNinja · 1 pointr/PS4

Here is the one I bought:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0081EH12M

I bought this one because I didn't want to spend much money on something like that, but I figured for under $10 it was worth the shot.

This grip just gives me more to hold onto and once I started using it, I never found it uncomfortable to play Vita games. The top bumper buttons are left open, which is good because I don't trust added on triggers. The back touch pad is left unobscured.

Keep in mind that this grip is just a cheap hard plastic. It feels fine to me, though some of the reviews complained about that. I think it looks fine when connected to the Vita as well. It also still allows me to use the charge stand I have for the Vita,so I rarely ever have to remove the grip.

My one complaint is that because it's so cheap, I'm afraid I might break it when I remove it from my Vita. I'm careful when doing so, but if I wasn't so careful I could see that it might break a piece off. Luckily the price is good though.

Also, this is for the original Vita since that's the one I own. Basically it's cheap and does the trick. It amazed me that such a cheap piece of plastic enhanced my experience so much.

u/Yokuo · 1 pointr/Wishlist

For a game under $20, I really want to get my hands on Persona 4! I played 5 recently, and absolutely fell in love with it. I spent about 150 hours on it total between 2 complete playthroughs, and getting every trophy, too. So now, instead of being tired of the genre and needing a break, I've actually just got a craving to play even more. Basically, the game boils down to being a student, living your (literally) day to day life, then going into places and fighting monsters with other monsters. It's like Final Fantasy X meets Pokemon meets Time Management. And it's so good.

For a favorite game, I've gotta go with Super Mario RPG. This game oozes charm. It was my first JRPG ever, and features my favorite plumber, too (sorry, Luigi). The game takes the typical Mario formula and turns it upside down, and while that isn't out of the norm these days, it was a huge switch from convention back then. It's a good intro to RPG game with a good story, easy-enough mechanics, and, like I said, a crazy amount of charm. I go back to it every year or two to run it again.

u/PoopThatSmellsGood · 2 pointsr/vita

You should consider getting a grip! Two grips that might be good options:

The Nyko Power Grip is very comfortable and it has a battery in it that can double your Vita's battery life. I don't have one myself, but I've heard amazing things about it. Only caveat is it seems some of their batteries are poorly made so some unlucky people end up getting batteries that either don't work at all or stop working within a month. But it's supposedly really comfortable either way. It might be a bit bulky and take up a lot of space though. Hopefully other users can weigh in on it.

L2/R2 Grip is the one I use. I find it really comfortable, and I love that it comes with extra L2/R2 buttons. It might be an unnecessary luxury, depending on the games you play. It's been super helpful for me though, especially for ps1 ports that require the l2/r2 buttons. Megaman Legends is a game that used the l2/r2 buttons, and the vita port gets around this by mapping those buttons to the rear touch pad. It was a pain in the ass for me to reach around and hit those precise spots, but with this grip, it's no longer a problem.

u/shumpfy · 3 pointsr/gpdwin

I installed ps vita 2000 joysticks (not the cheap knockoffs that gpd uses, but the quality originals with built in rubber pads). I then use these clip ons that easily pop on and off these joysticks.
https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Analog-Stick-Cover-Black/dp/B00XXSONHM

The caps will work on the original gpd joysticks, but can be hard to pop off. WIN joystick ARE vita 2000 joysticks.

Edit: I also removed the rubber from the left "mouse" joystick cap and welded the joystick top (shaved down the rest of it with a dremel) from an original xbox controller to it. Any normal sized joystick would do, I used the xbox because I had an old broken one and its relatively flat. It makes a big difference and is pretty close to a larger joystick. I'll post an image later

u/Un1337ninj4 · 1 pointr/vita

Sony's off and on about whether or not they'll support the system (one chap saying it's a "Legacy" platform while another says they have 1st party content in the works). That said it's still a powerful system and several 3rd party developers with great reputations who continue popping out releases for it like Koei Tecmo (Atelier, Samurai Warriors, and Toukiden are fair examples). Whether or not it's worthwhile however is largely up to you.

Do you like RPGs, Monster Hunter-likes, and Final Fantasy? Do you own a Play Station (you can stream PS4/3 titles across your home to play any game granted an internet connection)? Do you want to conserve the battery on your mobile device with a game that's probably a much more in-depth experience or are you content with Fallout Shelter?

Consider the above, though if I am to throw in an extra bone buy one of these (though not necessarily this one in particular just make sure it's got some kind of loop or hole in the case so you may attach it to something with a sturdy carabiner.). I actually use mine for my phone and other stuff too and it's quite convenient.

Your mileage may vary due to your connection speed but overall its a pretty decent experience on the vita. I've been running PS remote play on my vita, PC, and phone on a 100mbps/20mbps connection with only occasional hiccups at 720p streaming.

The biggest issue is the controls are a little tough as the l2 and r2 buttons are digital, so some weapons are harder than others to combo for sure. It's not comfortable for long sessions. Also the screen can be a touch hard to read in menus. I played MHFU on the PSP though and I'd still say that was harder to play control wise hah.

I'm looking at picking up one of these as they seem to have great reviews (there's a model for the 1000 as well).

u/Zerkom122 · 8 pointsr/vita

First off thanks for serving.

For accessories definitely get a screen protector.

I have a silicon case on mine I got from GameStop but just get one you like but one that’s still slim so you can pocket it.

I also have this pouch that you can put your games, charger, and system in.

Sony Pouch

As for your games as long as there ps vita compatible and it’s the same account you should be able to download them. Memory cards are expensive though.

I’m not sure what games you like but some of my favorites are Soul Sacrifice Delta, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, Little Big Planet, and Metal Gear Solid.

Again thanks for serving and hope you come home ok.

u/proxibomb · 1 pointr/vita

I got the Red Japan-exclusive PS Vita for pretty cheap off of eBay, but the only hurdle I had to get around was replacing the battery. If you don't know how to replace them, or are extremely nervous with doing it, I highly don't recommend getting an OG Vita unless you know someone who's willing to replace the battery for you.

Reason I'm mentioning the battery in the first place is because old Vita handhelds drain super fast, and have a lot of battery errors like going into sleep mode because it thinks it has no battery, when in reality it does.

You can buy a replacement battery for cheap off of Amazon, and it works like a charm once it's installed. Good luck, happy shopping~

u/sourmilkandcereal · 14 pointsr/Megaten

This post is adorable. I like the enthusiasm. I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

Anyways

>I dont really understand why he killed Miyamoto or Saki, was it just for fun??

Yeah, Adachi flat says he did it cause he was bored. Adachi is basically a man child who cries because his life didn't go the way he wanted it. And he got pissy about it. He's an egotistical dick. And I think that makes him a great villain.

> I was thinking either Arena or Dancing All Night, but I don't have a vita so is it worth getting a vita for Dancing All Night?

Or,or,or...here's a crazy idea...(whispers) Play Persona1-3.

But to answer your question. Yes it is worth getting a PlayStation TV in order to play Dancing All Night. Seriously don't buy a Vita just for it. A PSTV is the much better and cheaper option. It's basically a Vita that you can plug into your TV. It can play Vita carts and works with every numbered Persona game and Dancing All Night. Regaurding Arena. Just buy Ultimax it has DLC that covers the orignal Arena story for 10 bucks. So there really is no reason to buy vanilla Arena.

> I didnt really like the ending that much

Did you get the true ending? If so. I guess P4G has more definitive closure if you seek it. Since it expand on the ending a bit.

u/DarkPitStain · 1 pointr/anime

Persona 4 Golden has some added Social Links, some new features like a vegetable garden (basically letting you grow items that you can't usually purchase), some additional characters and story events for said characters, additional Personas, new explorable areas of the overworld, a bonus dungeon, new music, costumes that you can wear to affect a character's appearance only, more playable days if you're on track for the true ending, various QoL adjustments to the battle system, and a special epilogue.

It sounds like a lot, and it kinda is, but don't let it put you off P4 Vanilla if Golden represents a bigger financial investment for you. The vast majority of the game is mostly the same. If you're really looking to play Golden and don't have a Vita, I recommend the PS TV, which has near-complete Vita functionality for only $40 (and the Vita has plenty of good games, mind you. May I also recommend Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc?). Golden is also only about $20.

u/HankSinatra · 1 pointr/vita

I don't have thumb grips but I did find that this grip made shooters more comfortable. It says "trigger grip" but it doesn't actually have triggers so it's not totally accurate.

Also, practice seemed to help a lot. When I first bought Killzone: Mercenary, I had some trouble aiming but I got much better by the end of the game (and it's pretty short, so it didn't take long) so just stick with it and hopefully it will get easier.

u/drummererb · 42 pointsr/gaming

I only play one "Vita" game on my Vita, and that's Persona 4 Golden. The rest of my use on my Vita is the remote play when I'm at work, in bed, or the kids wanna use the television. 100% worth it for me. I have no obvious input lag I ever run into. It's great.

EDIT: Here are two accessories I bought for my Vita, due to my large hands I felt these were necessary. If you've ever felt like your hands were too cramped using a Vita, look into these.

HORI "Remote Play Assist" Case I bought this before I realized you cannot change controller layout when using remote play. Many game devs put the extra buttons (like L2/R2 L3/R3) on the stupid touch screen, and you're stuck with it. The gray buttons this case adds only touches the back of the Vita. It did save my butt on games like Uncharted and Last of Us. Plus it makes the handheld thicker and has palm grips. So even if you don't use the triggers much, it's a great feel.

Analog Stick High Covers Again for my big hands, the low profile sticks wasn't cutting it for me. I did find after a month I had to take off the Right Stick cover cause it was too tall and hitting X would often push the stick down. The Left Stick cover is PERFECT for me.

u/Hikikomori_ · 2 pointsr/vita

I have the PDP Trigger Grips. Be warned, if you have a "full" screen protector (Static Cling or Water applied) it will scrunch it up unless you work really hard to either trim the water applied/static cling or some how mess with the Static Cling.

---

Some additional accessories that I find useful:

Of course, a travel case. Depending on your style pick a cloth or hard case. I personally like my official Sony Travel Pouch. It's soft and has lots of room for the Vita, headphones, extra games, and a cleaning cloth. Hard cases (Usually 3rd party) are pretty good depending which. I also have the DreamGear hard case as a more travel friendly when going to another person's house. My issue with it is that the case itself fits really snugly with the Vita where it can push on the Power button.

Official Vita Travel Pouch (9.33. Free shipping with Prime)

DreamGEAR 7 in 1 Starter Gear Hard Case (12.99 Free shipping with Prime or $25+)

---

You also want a back screen protector for the back touch panel alone. That thing is very prone to scratches.

---

Thumbstick grips are also very great for the extra grip you want. Sadly, the one I have is discontinued. So I can't really recommend a product I haven't used.

Bluecell Thumb Grips

You can certainly find others. Just read reviews. Be a smart consumer!

---

A great pair of headphones is a must if you travel a bit. I would wholeheartly recommend the official Sony Vita headphones. Great sound and cheap. Has a built in Mic but I'm not sure how good that is.

Official Sony Vita In Ear Canal headphones ($11.95)

---

A handy 2A-2.1A outlet USB charger with a spare USB Vita Cable is always nice to have around traveling.

Please Note: When purchasing additional back up battery packs or charging outlet thingies. Make sure it's 2A to 2.1A (2,000 mA to 21000 mA. not mAh**) output. The vita needs at least 1.5A output to be charged while playing or 1A while off (Very slow).

It's really not that big at all. In the customer review section, go to "See all customer images" look at the last picture for a size reference. The Vita fits snugly in it. It's not overly hard like the plastic cases, it protects the console but the case has some give to it. It even has a little flap so you can pop the Vita out in a split second pretty much.

I love the thing, I go to a lot of doctor appointments and waiting in the pharmacy or something, when I bring it "whipping it out when idle" is exactly how I use it and it isn't unwieldy at all. Whatever you pick, good luck

u/TheFailingPlayer · 2 pointsr/PERSoNA

They've seem to have gone up in price a little, but fish around eBay or Amazon for them because its lifespan has been over for awhile now. I've seen them go from ~$100-$150 used without any extras. Keep in mind you may have to shell out extra for memory cards and chargers, though buying a game cartridge rather than a digital download saves a lot more space. Still recommended to get an 4 or 8 GB chip though.

And they do cost more, but a PSTV is also a great investment depending on your tastes. Its not as portable as the Vita, but you get full screen support for TVs and you can play it with a PS3/4 controller.

eBay

Amazon

Both are good choices and allows you to access almost every game in the series (minus P3FES, Q, Q2, the fighting games, and 5. Maybe one of the P2s also). You'll get your moneys worth if you want to get deeper into the series or explore the Vita's vast JRPG library.

About £100 new in the UK, not sure about where you are. Comfortable. Adjustable. Sound quality is amazing. Can download a companion app and certain games have their own presets you can load in.

Can't say anything about the Mic if he's likely to use it as I don't but reviews I've seen are positive.

Battery life is 4-6 hours, plenty of time for a gaming session and then a food break to start recharging. The only niggle I have is that having them plugged in while using them does create a slightly awkward buzzing in the ear but it's easy enough not to encounter if you remember to charge them better than I do!!

I don't have a Vita, but I did pick up the playstation tv device over a year ago when I heard that it played Vita games. The great thing about it is that if you have playstation plus for your ps4/3 then you can get a free vita game each month as well and just play them on this mini console.

Okay. The VITA is actually better for Remote Play than the app you run on Mac/PC in terms of connectivity. I've been places where the VITA connects to my PS4 no problem, but the program on my Macbook Pro deems the connection too weak.

The complaint most have about using the VITA for remote play is the controls. For reasons I cannot understand, the joysticks cannot be pushed as R3 and L3, so those buttons end up on the front bottom corners of the touch screen. Meanwhile, R2 and L2 are the touch pad on the bottom, which are very hard to control. So, if you do go this route, you may want to purchase THIS

25 down and 5 up is adequate on the VITA's end most of the time, but you should definitely have the PS4 receiving a better upload speed. I started getting noticeably more stable remote play connections only after upgrading my Comcast to 10mbps upload and hardwiring the console.

When my Macbook does connect to my PS4 Pro, the quality is 1080p, which looks amazing on the 15" screen. If you can get this to work, go with it. The image quality combined with being able to use a DS4...awesome!

This one has support for L3/R3 compatibility as well. Both are extremely comfortable, but I will say even with the 2000 model the one you posted can get pretty heavy over time. I think it's weighted a bit off, but that being said, I played a majority of my playthrough of Nier using the case you posted and it worked flawlessly. That game requires a lot of R2 mashing and it never skipped a beat.

If theres no sale tomorrow, you can buy Persona 4 Golden from the PSN at 30 USD or physical from amazon at 20 USD, the game is totally worth any price, is a long game, my first run was like 70 hours, one of the best games I have ever played, just have in mind that is the most JRPG thing you will ever play, 75% of great dialogues and 25% dungeons with challenging boss fights.

You can find them cheaper used. Amazon Warehouse was selling 32Gb cards for $45 shipped on Tuesday. I picked one up because my 8Gb card just wasn't cutting it. If you're playing mostly at home, a grip makes the system much more comfortable to hold. I recommend the Nyko Power Grip. Super comfortable, the Vita pops in and out a second, and it's got a battery built-in that'll keep your Vita charged twice as long.

Assuming you're in your place of dwelling and not on the go, the PSTV. First it has native support for DS3/4 gamepads and supports L2/R2, L3/R3, and vibration for PS 1/2/3/4 games. Second it's 720p as opposed to 544p so your games will look better. You can also whitelist it to enable all games playable assuming they don't require the camera or microphone. There is also a plugin that allows for sixaxis support. All PSTV's have 1gb of internal storage and come with firmware less than 3.60 and you can manually update from there with a usb. You can then either use the offline installer after installing HENkaku for the first time or reinstalling it later as the webkit exploit is only temporary. You can also upgrade to the pre-hacked HENkaku Enso 3.65 but beware that not all custom apps and plugins are supported by it yet.

If you only want it as a handheld then get the Vita 2000 (Slim) as it fixes many of the Vita 1000 (Fat)'s flaws. It has 1gb of internal storage and a 16gb ps vita memory card (the PS TV supports vita memory cards btw) will last you over 50 physical games. It has over an hour of extra battery life and a PACK IN non-proprietary micro-usb charger. It's more ergonomic, slimmer and lighter but just as durable. The only real advantages that the vita fat has are the fact that you can replace the back touch panel, and that it has an OLED screen. The former can be mitigated with a carbon fiber skin and the latter will burn in or burn out eventually.

If you want remote play and custom firmware you will need ps4relink as even though you can sign into psn with firmware and PSN spoofing no PS Vita below 3.67 can be "activated" (i.e. legitimized) due to a change in protocol on Sony's end. One more thing, TheFLOW has successfully hacked OFW 3.67 and is releasing it at then end of this year/early next year anticipating the Vita's end of life. So if you have the patience I'd wait for that option since you can activate your PS Vita.

I hope so too. They make many great points in this video too.

personally i think that Playstation has put a large quantity of their resources into streaming, and as soon as they fix the prices they will be the best option in this field. My only problem with it is that we know they will not offer PS4 games on PSNow(although i cant really blame them because that would essentially make the PS4 obsolete) and so as soon as i get my fill of past gen games i will probably unsubscribe.

The thing that i think is being overlooked about this whole streaming situation is the potential the Playstation TV. The potential it shows is huge, yet i never find anyone talking about it. It is a PS Vita that connects to the TV, so you can play Vita games on the TV, it can Remote Play the PS4 and those PS4 games fantastically, and it can also access PSNow. So what you have in the PSTV is a Vita, PS4(provided one is owned and near the PSTV), and it can be a PS1, 2, and 3 all through PSNow. Realle the pomise for the device is really strong.

Oh, and the main reason i want the PS4 streaming part is for the fact that the PS4 can be in one room(for example and office in the basement), and you can stream it's games to the PSTV which can be is, say, the living room. So if you have friends over who want to play PS4 but you dont want to have to move it, just use the PSTV! Also, Sometimes guests might want to play an old game, so you can use the PSTV for that too. Hell, the regular Vita can be remote play the PS4 from an entirely different network, so instead of taking the whole PS4 and shit over to a friends house, you can just take along the little PSTV and have the whole PS4 there. Boom!

Additionally, PSNow is going to work on Sony Bravia TV's, and some other devices as well in the future(here's hoping for phones and tablets as well(where you can connect a controller and use the device as a monitor))

I have both the Nyko Power Grip and the PDP Trigger Grip and I really like them both. I've found the Nyko is just a little more comfortable for me and I love the extra battery life but having the extended triggers on the PDP grip is useful at times. Either grip is definitely better than no grip. I'm a girl but 6ft and apparently my hands are just too large to play without them.

EDIT: The Nyko Power grip can be picked up in the wild for cheaper than that amazon link. I just put it up for reference. If you don't care about the extra battery life also check out the CTA Grip.

I know others use Gameboy cases for their MVP and stuff, there are also camera bags and accessories bags out there too. Here is a website for Vape Sox, they may fit your needs. http://vapesox.com/

The PSTV is a micro console that plays Vita games. It's compatible with a lot of the vita games, but not all. Persona 4 Golden is the first game I played on my PSTV when I got it. It was amazing.

It retails for around $60-$70 USD

I'm glad you mentioned PS4. I think there is some sort of sync feature, and I just got a PS4 not too long ago. I need to look into that.

A couple of downsides to the PSTV is that it is not compatible with the entire Vita library, and you are locked down to using Sony's proprietary vita memory cards instead of a standard SD memory card like the 3DS.

u/TheGreatWhiteFunk · 1 pointr/vita

I've been using these for some time now. They don't add a ton of size but give me extra control for sure. I only used the square-ish shaped ones and the ones with the raised/pointed directions. Love em. I have both the silicone and hard plastic variants and find the silicone to give a better grip feel on the thumbs. Was considering the Xbone thumb stick covers, but they wouldn't be compatible with my case and would hinder portability. Hope this helps.

u/NitroXIII · 1 pointr/vita

I have this one I don't play my Vita often at all, but it makes it so I CAN play it a ton if I want (usually only on vacations). It blocks the Charging port, but it's definitely comfortable, fairly similar to a wider PS3 controller. It doesn't have custom triggers. The back touch screen can be awkward, but I think that's just me and my very small hands. I really like having the handle extend downwards for grip, which is why I didn't get the smaller ones like the "compact" one you linked.

It's pretty similar in shape to the Niko one you linked, the Niko one has that extended life battery, which makes it heavier, but I've heard decent things about it as well. I don't think I've seen anyone really regret buying ANY of the grips available on the market from what I've seen, so just pick the one that looks most appealing to you.

u/GunFishin · 2 pointsr/vita

I plan on getting the ASSIST GRIP as it looks like the best solution, but in the meantime I went with this super affordable grip from Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081EH12M/

I got it on sale for about $5 after shipping and it's worked really well. I'm able to hold the Vita much better now and it has a built in stand for watching media on flat surfaces. Only downside I've found is that the actual areas to grip still aren't quite long enough to simulate an actual controller. I think that's where the ASSIST GRIP would come into play.

Either way, I do recommend this one as an affordable alternative to the ASSIST GRIP.

u/fnnoobee · 2 pointsr/VitaPiracy

It's not an OLED one, but if you're willing to trade off a nicer screen for better battery life, slimmer profile and a slightly less quality screen (it's really not a bad panel), Above All Games on Amazon is selling new black PCH-2001 Sony Playstation Vita Slim Wi-Fi consoles for $224.00 new w/ free 2-day shipping for Prime members. I just recently bought one and can confirm it was brand new product with FW 3.55. Now running on 3.65 Enso CFW!

> Also, how does remote play work exactly? If my PS4 is on and connected to WiFi and I'm away from home, say at a friend's house and connected to their WiFi with my Vita, can I still use remote play? Basically, I want to play Persona while my friends take forever with their turns during our Dungeons and Dragons campaign... ;)


More or less. The internet at your home (where your PS4 is) and where you are at (with your vita) needs to be fast enough.

Since Persona doesn't have much "fast reaction" it's a perfect game for it (I've logged a handful of hours on it from my vita, though usually just from other rooms in my house), as even if there are hiccups they won't result in instant death.

One thing to note is that the vita doesn't have L2, R2, L3, and R3, (which don't matter much for Persona as you don't need fast reaction for those buttons) and instead requires you to tap on the back touch screen to activate these buttons. You can get a plastic case thing which adds these buttons (via levers and such) and also adds some nice contouring for adult sized hands: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ERA94BY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'd also recommend some stick extenders, personally: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XXSONHM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/Gomerpyle80 · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

Have you tested remote play over the internet yet? Some people don't realize the upload speed required. (at least 2mb/s upload is OK, 5mb/s is recommended i guess)

To run you press the down arrow ..

Otherwise - I use mine all the time.. and honestly the only issue is with aiming. The analog sticks are not nearly as good as the dualshock 4. I added a grip to mine shortly after I got it which helps and there are some analog grips you can try that might help.

Also the sound can get out of sync pretty easy..

u/drakanwolf · 2 pointsr/finalfantasytactics

So, I've never actually tried Steam link. I have a TV mounted to the wall above my computer desk, so I usually just hook the PC up to the TV directly with an HDMI. It looks great, though.

If you're looking for a more console-ish experience, though, I can confirm that my brother has had great luck running my homemade version of the ROM (I ripped the ISO directly onto my PSP from my US region UMD, extracted it to the PC, and applied the WoTL Skill Slowdown Fix PPF) on a soft-modded PSTV (essentially the guts of a Vita with a TV-out) and it works perfectly.

u/fieldstudies · 1 pointr/PlayStationPlus

Welcome to the club!!
Sub to /r/vita now if you'd like. A niche community of course but always helpful, aside from their discouraging saltiness given the way that Sony has treated the Vita. Their complaints are valid but sometimes it clogs up the place and makes it toxic.

Never played Tearaway but heard it is a "Must-have" and never touched the Final Fantasy series aside from being an avid gamer

since around '94-'95^shhh^don't^tell

P4G is amazing! (but everyone is pretty much going to tell you that.) But it really is one of my favorite video games ever to date. Just be warned that it takes a long ass time to get to the actually gameplay (about 2 hours.) When I started it, I was on a short road trip so it didn't bother me at all, but I still feel like even if I wasn't I wouldn't have gotten bored and begged for gameplay (which can't be said about a lot of story heavy games). Still think it deserves a warning, and after that though the story vs. gameplay is pretty balanced. Also you can skip through all the cutscenes and even fast forward the dialogue but I feel like you would really be doing a disservice to yourself.

One last thing, I prefer to own physical copies of games that are very long and I know I will be playing extensively to save memory. P4G is almost always $20 bucks on amazon I know it's more expensive than what's on sale now but just throwing it out there.

u/maddprof · 2 pointsr/PS4

The Nyko grips were the ones I found that had the most "if you have big hands..." recommendations over at /r/vita myself - I was hit with a little sticker shock at first compared to the cost of the PDP grips, but now I'm totally satisfied with my purchase. Yah that battery life just takes a dive with remote play doesn't it? Before I had the Nyko's - I used to carry one of those external battery packs (like this one) and one of these battery charger adapters. That way I only had to carry around the vita cable (damn you proprietary cable!!!) and that adapter and I could charge off any USB port/battery device.

I don't really carry the battery anymore unless I'm going on an extended trip. The battery pack was a blessing for my tablet/phone usage as well.

u/jamesjoyce1882 · 1 pointr/vita

Yeah, no thanks. All my mobile devices are from Apple and have very color accurate displays. I really enjoy having the colors pop on the Vita for a change. Battery and USB don't matter for me anymore for these reasons:

  • You can charge the Vita Gen1 with any USB charger via this little adapter thingie.

  • I have noticed that most airlines now have USB chargers or AC outlets even in economy class. Works beautifully with said adapter. Long distance flights are the only situations in my life in which I would have needed more battery life.

    I hope they'll eventually release a Vita 3 uniting the advantages of both versions.

    EDIT: Wording.
u/GrabberOrange · 1 pointr/vita

I've had a couple, the Smatree is one of the best. Holds Vita nice and snug, with a convenient pull string to get it out. Zippered inside section holds 6 foot charging cable, earbuds and screen cloth. 10 games in the separator.
The outside is a nice canvas material that is really durable and easy to clean.

u/tadrith · 1 pointr/vitahacks

I bought one of these... I've heard the Borderlands package for the Vita slim has a better chance of <3.60 firmware.

Mine was brand new, came with firmware 3.30 (yes, 3.30). I was absolutely thrilled. The only reason I took the chance was that I had someone with a Vita at firmware 3.50, so the trade was that I could have theirs if the one arriving was over 3.60. Turns out, I got a nice new Vita Slim <3.60. That's the specific link I used, the ones coming from "Above All Games" on Amazon.

Followed the DNS hack to get to 3.60, installed Henkaku, installed VitaShell, used the new ePSP 2.0 bubble to get it activated and get Adrenaline on it, good to go. It was touch and go because I am -really- new to this, but it all worked out. Tonight was the first night I got Tales of Destiny running under PCSX ReARMed, and a Castlevania Chronicles PSP working.

I make no guarantees that the one you get will be the same, but I had excellent luck.

u/wishful_cynic · 1 pointr/PS4

Thanks, but I chose the CTA grip.

I read the grips guide in /r/Vita's FAQs and for about $25 less (not interested in the battery feature) than the Nyko, the CTA seemed like my best option.

u/Mizeneu · 1 pointr/playstation

I haven't tried that, and I mean sure you CAN play any game, but some are better than others becsuse of control scheme. Get one of these

If you get a slim model, which personally I got because the oled on the original can get burns on the screen.

u/LogicalFlakes · 1 pointr/vita

How big are your hands?

Edit: Eh. I'll just throw the cheapest two grips I know of and have used. These grips are for the 1000 model.

PDP Trigger Grip is the only trigger grip that I know of that works well. Good for big hands and small hands. Medium hands... not so much.

CTA Grip is the best non trigger grip for your money. It does what the Nyko Grip does at a cheaper price and... that's all there is to it. It's a grip. The other alternative to this is the Japanese Assist Grip and the Nyko Vita Grip. Great for any size hands.

u/The_Squiv · 3 pointsr/vita

I use a Butterfox case. It's a soft case. It's pretty decently padded and it's compact enough to travel easily. It fits in the pocket of my hoodie. It has two compartments. The compartment that holds games shows that it has 8 slots for games. Mine actually came with 10 slots, which is really nice. I can securely carry an extra memory card in that webbed pocket and I usually carry some earbuds and sometimes a usb cord for charging on the run. I really enjoy mine.

It is for the slim model. It's $33 on there and when I bought it there were only 14 left. I'm half tempted to buy a second one as a backup. That's how much I love it lol.

anytime. Ive not been a handheld gamer for long, but the vita was definitely one of my favorite gifts of all time (i also have a ps4 so do a lot of ps4 gaming on my vita)

nyko grips were one of the best add ons to my vita. Very hard to hold without grips, and very crampy. The nyko grips are so comfortable, worth the price even without the added battery life IMHO

u/Retsam19 · 109 pointsr/Games

As someone who wanted to play PS Vita games but didn't really want to buy a Vita, a Playstation TV turned out to be a good option: it costs like $80 (EDIT: /u/MrRatt points out that it's on sale for $45 on Amazon), and plays Vita games on the TV (using a PS4 controller).

$80 is a bit much if P4G is the only Vita game you want to play, but there are a few other decent Vita games.

EDIT 2: /u/BokuNoPickle rightly points out that the VitaTV doesn't support all PSVita games (particularly those that require the touch screen); /r/VitaTV have a post with resources for figuring out which games will work.

u/Rickrogue · 3 pointsr/vita

This is what I use on my Vita. under $5 shipped and work great. Nice solid fit with no wiggle, feel like a natural extension.

u/backwoodspliff · 1 pointr/vita

I got my Vita used "like new" and didn't want to screw it up. So I got these and they have been great:

This ArmorSuit Skin & Screen Protector:

This CTA Travel Protective Case:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073ESYZO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Blw1Cb1S734HX

Those are the only accessories I bought for the Vita, and in my opinion they're all you need. I put the skin and screen protector on to prevent against scratches, put the hard shell on over that for extra protection and asthetics, and the travel case for when I'm not using it. They all fit together well and are not bulky at all. I was surprised.

Make sure you buy the ones appropriate for your model (1000 vs 2000)...

u/Snakey1024 · 2 pointsr/vita

P4G is currently $20 on Amazon and Gamestop. PSN is $30. It's honestly worth the money though. Lots of replay value, tons of story extras and events.

I would also recommend getting the Danganronpa series if you are into visual novel style games. Great murder mystery game (and if the English voices aren't your thing, you can change the language). I think both games are ~$30.

Virtues Last Reward and Y's: Memories of Celceta are my other recommendations. Virtue is ~$30 and Y's is ~$20.

u/91PIR8 · 0 pointsr/vita

This is really good to give you the l2/r2 and l3/r3 buttons. I find it more comfortable than holding just the vita.

I have trouble with remote play in my house if I'm not relatively close to my PS4. Honestly, I haven't really tried to improve it or find my exact range. Most likely due to my wireless network. So just know your mileage may vary depending on your network setup.

In general, having a protective case for travel is hugely beneficial, for both the vita's safety and your peace of mind on the go. Something like this.

u/muddybuttcheeks · 2 pointsr/vita

I honestly wouldn't recommend them. After a while the triggers start to stick rather than flick in a smooth motion. Also if you have large hands ( i do) the trigger grip doesn't offer much support to your palm as a dualshock controller would. I spent $15 on it and i feel like i was ripped off :/

I would recommended this one, its the only one that has superior comfort and provides some slight protection for your vita.

u/Stole_My_Banana · 2 pointsr/vita

>As it stands now, buying a Vita, 16 GB memory stick (not even 32 GB!) protective case, and recently release game costs almost as much as a PS4.

Where are you getting these figures?

Lego batman Vita for $200...been this price for weeks

Best buy just had a long running sale for the 16 GB memory cards for $30. Target and Walmart have been running a clearance on 8GB cards at $10-$15 for the last month....not the best deal and you might have to swap cards here and there but still

PS vita case for $8.34

PS vita case for $13.18

A new game will run you $35-$40. So if you want to run everything brand new, system + card + a game is around $300. Still $100 less than a ps4

If you look for deals you can always find a good price, I paid $170 for a brand new 3g/wifi Vita with an 8g memory card.

u/CasperJ82 · 2 pointsr/vita

not a fan of the triggers grips myself, as soon as i bought the nyko power grip my trigger grip got shelved and never used again.

if you're interested you can get the nykko grip from amazon for about £25 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nyko-Power-Grip-Vita-PlayStation/dp/B0079V29EI/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1421082958&sr=8-8&keywords=ps+vita+trigger+grip

super comfortable and extends the battery life.

u/ColorblindMonk · 3 pointsr/vita

I've got the Nyko Power Grip. Feels pretty good on the hands, and has a battery of its own that keeps my Vita going through the days in and out of sleep mode.

There's also this one particular grip that I've been eyeing that's geared for Remote Play users, adding 2 sets of triggers for the rear touch pad. It's import only, and a little pricey because of it, but real useful for PS4 titles that use the default Remote Play configuration.

u/Chief81 · 1 pointr/WWII

So for 50 Pounds you can get the original Sony (virtuel 7.1 Sound).
I have this and I can really recommend it. Maybe not a Pro Headset, but I can clearly tell you from where the enemys are coming and it is wireless.

This one from Amazon is actually a really decent case. I was skeptical myself, but ended up buying a second one for my other Vita. They have a larger model as well if you have one of those silicone sleeve jobs on your console. Fits the Vita perfectly snug on one half of the clamshell, and enough room for your wall plug & USB cable (2000 series)
Might be pretty tight if you have a 1000 series Vita and the chunky charging block.

They sell on eBay also if Amazon isn't your thing.

I have used grips with trigger but never liked them.

I am using Nyko Power grip which gives me more battery life as well.

There is an upcoming grip though from Hori which I would like to try as it looks good and have the R3/L3 button as well. It is scheduled to be released in July in Japan.

The Sony Golds are a good choice at that price range. They offer great surround sound (or regular stereo if a game doesn't support surround), they can be used wired or wireless to match your preferences, and they're comfortable enough to wear for long sessions.

The only real problem with them is that the hinges aren't that good, although they should be fine as long as you treat them right.

u/Stabme · 1 pointr/vita

Here you go

I have them and they are awesome. They were designed was with comfort in mind, every finger has a perfect position. Only draw back in no charging while you play.

u/BrendanBeckmann · 1 pointr/vita

It seems when it comes to grips you have a smaller grip with decent controls and grip and then you have the larger grips which aren't very portable but come with excellent controls. With that being said, it doesn't look too much different from the CTA Digital Hand Grip.

u/Xylobe · 8 pointsr/vita

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I really don't think a screen protector is necessary. I've had my Vita since 2012 and even after having dropped it more than a few times there's not so much as a scratch on it. As far as a case is concerned I definitely recommend getting a hard-shell one since the Vita's sticks are exposed unlike the 3DS'. This is the one I'm currently using, it's definitely bulky but it has plenty of room to hold 10 games plus the charging cable so I think that makes up for it. If you want to see how thick it is relative to a slim Vita let me know and I can take a picture.

u/VitaThrowaway · 2 pointsr/vita

I used this as my case for a very long time. It isn't Fort Knox, but it more than easily gets the job done.

I hear on the sub this case is pretty good, but no personal experience.

u/Xylobone · 1 pointr/pcgaming

Don't forget Vita has remote play for PS4 & PS3. That's quite a few additional games. U may even be able to stream PS5 games in the future. Pretty sure if PS5 is touting backwards compatibly, that remote play would be in included for the Vita, but I could be wrong. Also, make sure to get this . I personally find it mandatory not only does it give you R2 & L2 buttons, it makes the Vita much more comfortable to hold. Cheers 🔥

u/rydavim · 2 pointsr/vita

I actually prefer the Vita sticks over the Switch ones, but I have fairly small hands. Any handheld's sticks are obviously going to be smaller and feel different as compared to a regular controller, though.

If you're planning on playing for extended periods of time, I would also recommend investing in some stick covers. I got a set of these, but YMMV -- plus they are more than twice as expensive as compared to when I bought them. There's tons of decently reviewed stuff out there, though.

Enjoy!

u/corzaftw · 5 pointsr/vita

Nyko Power Grip.

I carry them, sometimes, in the store I work at. We sell out the second anyone gets to feel them. I absolutely love mine, they make it feel like you're holding a dual-shock and not just a little portable system. They are a bit big for packages, but they do include an astounding battery pack (extra ~6 hours of life during gameplay). In short, I didn't charge my vita for over a month (didn't use it) and it still has 20% battery life.

The PDP Grips are good, but not nearly as comfortable as the Nyko grips. I've used both, and sold both, never seen the Nyko's come back, people return/trade in PDP all the time.

u/goldwynnx · 2 pointsr/Games

Have you heard of the Playstation TV yet? While it doesn't have 100% of all the Vita games on there, it is going to be supporting some of the big ones that people want to play (Persona 4).


Full list of games that are supported here. Includes PS1, PSP, and Vita games.

It also has remote play with the PS4, and it's Playstation Now compatible.

For $100, can't really go wrong with all the things it does.

EDIT: I just read the the TLDR part, it sounds like you want it for the portable purposes, so that kind of makes my part pointless, but I'll leave it none the less for people that might be interested.

u/Warskull · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

This is one of the reasons I love Nintendo's consoles. Nintendo's stuff is quite durable. With the 3DS they let you just use standard SD cards, so I got 32 gigs of storage for about $20 (pretty good for a handheld.)

With the Wii U, you can use external hard drives, so when a previous PC kicked the bucket I just bought an external HDD enclosure for one of the drives.

I appreciated that I didn't have to spend an absurd amount of money on proprietary memory hardware.

u/NoTalentss · 2 pointsr/vita

If your main use is streaming, here's some options:



If you have a TV at your bed and don't want to hog up the family TV, look into a [PSTV] (https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-TV/dp/B00KVMHSUM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495405446&sr=8-1&keywords=pstv). Or, if you prefer portable and own a decent gaming PC, look into the NVIDIA SHIELD Portable. However, if none of these alternatives fit you, the PSVita with a cheap mem card and a remote play grip is your best bet.

u/GaryLaseriii · 1 pointr/PS4

The vita also works great for most games. Extremely helpful to get a grip for it like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081EH12M/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/Protomango · 3 pointsr/vita

Really well done review, I'm interested in it but I had planned to grab a Waterfield case for it, and I'm 99% sure it won't fit inside the case with the grips attached.

By chance, does anyone would know if the grip + Vita would fit in the PSV travel case?

u/precious_liar · 3 pointsr/vita

This case was under 15quid when I got it and it is perfect. It's where my Vita lives when it's not in my hands.

Also the official PSVITA battery pack is a pretty sweet deal, seeing as it's a high capacity battery and will charge anything.

u/Pterodacton · 4 pointsr/PS4Pro

The official PlayStation wireless ones are decent enough, they're comfortable, have an equaliser you can set to your liking, and they're relatively cheap now. The microphone is hidden within the headset too which I think is pretty neato.

Full disclosure - the noise floor when in wireless mode is pretty high, however they come with a 3.5mm jack cable to use them wired which solves that problem if it bothers you. Also the surround sound mode is of dubious usefulness.

u/Lorclonil · 1 pointr/vita

My wife ordered the blue one through Amazon. It's beautiful!

The remote play assist has triggers that tap the 4 corners on the back for games that use the default remote play control setup:

I have the Butterfox case and really like it. However, I use the Nyko Power Grips, which won't allow me to close the case. So, I bought the Amazon Basics Case, which works perfectly for my needs. Because the Amazon case is not made for the Vita, you will need to carry game-protecting case (e.g., this one) if you want to carry multiple cartridges with you.

u/fuska · 1 pointr/PlayStationPlus

If you are looking to play a lot of PS1 games AND get the chance to play any vita/psp games you have gotten from Plus, look into getting a PS TV. It lets you play all those games for much cheaper then getting a new PS3, and it also lets you remote play your ps4 if you plug them into separate rooms.

u/NegativeGhostrider · 1 pointr/gaming

I bought some Xbox One thumbsticks off ebay, cut the thumbstick tops off them and glued them to the top of some Bluecell thumbstick covers. The Xbox Thumbstick glued to the Bluecell one will look like this. You're going to want to dremel out a little under the XB1 thumbstick so the plastic Bluecell cover fits more flush in there and doesn't make the joysticks on the vita too tall because otherwise it'll interfere with the d-pad and buttons. Once you're done you snap the new covers on top of the Vita's joysticks and you're done! The end result looks like this.

The total "mod" took me about 15 minutes.

u/ryanmatic · 5 pointsr/vita

I use the official travel pouch. I like it great so far, and it fits nicely in my day pack.

There is a official Sony case that they sell at target that works best i hear. But for the screen protector be careful because the one i got when i got the starter pack (which included screen protector, cloth and gel case) was for the 1000 and Does not line up well at all with the 2000.

Edit: The Case is not to be confused with this one but this one looks good as well.

Yes. I would recommend http://www.amazon.com/Trigger-Grips-Compatible-PSVita-Playstation-Vita/dp/B0081EH12M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1418761089&sr=8-5&keywords=PS+Vita+Trigger+Grip

Much more comfortable than without and they allow access to the shoulder buttons. I also have the PDP and I couldn't stand the triggers. For $4 you really can't go wrong.

u/WristsAplenty · 1 pointr/vita

The Hori grip is generally considered one of the best, you'll see if recommended around here pretty often. You can get them over at Amazon or Play-Asia.com.

u/escorpio1987 · 3 pointsr/vita

Hi, if you allow me to add a recommendation in addition to what u/loco_ohno said. Remember that the PS Vita don't have a L2/R2 triggers, so if remote play it's your main reason to get a vita, I recommend to invest in a grip for the Vita with L2/R2 buttons.

u/Pegashush · 2 pointsr/velvet_room

It's basically the Vita's hardware framework but in a small box format that uses a PS3 controller and a TV in place of the Vita's buttons and screen. It's limited in what games can be played on it (the list is floating around somewhere) but it can play P3P and P4G. You can get it for like 40$ on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-TV-vita/dp/B00KVMHSUM

My backpack has a pouch that perfectly fits the vita so I've been using that without a case. If I'm not using the backpack to carry my vita, then I'm usually using my pockets.

If I'm in a completely different situation where I have to use a case, I just use this since it's super cheap and does everything I need.

One more thing I forgot to mention. It's worth investing in a Vita grip if you plan to play for an extended time. There's a few you can find on Amazon that are inexpensive. Just make sure you know which Vita you have. I have a first generation which are slightly bigger so some grips will not fit.

have you considered getting a playstation tv? You can use it to stream your ps4 games. So you could keep the ps4 in the living room and put the ps tv in your sons room. It also plays most vita games which is a nice bonus. Its also much cheaper than a ps4

I'm not sure if it's available cheaper, but Amazon has the Borderlands 2 bundle available for $170. They only have 6 left in stock, but they might restock during the sale.

u/PM_ME_KUMIKO_NOISES · 5 pointsr/PERSoNA

You don't need to buy a vita. All you need is to buy a Playstation TV and a copy of Persona 4 Golden for vita. The Playstation TV plays most Vita games including Persona 4 Golden. It has a game slot cartridge so even physical vita games work. It hooks straight to your TV via HDMI. This is what I used to play P4G and it was well worth it!

u/Rhygar_Stormlord · 2 pointsr/ffxiv

I use it from time to time. Definitely wouldn't recommend going into a 24 man dungeon or even an eight man ex trial. But ya I've used mine to do PotD, daily quests, even dungeons. 2 things I will say is that the buttons kind of suck for it, so I bought an attachment for mine which gives me the r2/l2 and r3/l3, definitely helpful, if you dont want to invest in that: just put your main buttons on that first HUD, don't try to have multiple bars because its kind of a nightmare to play. And the script is hard to read, like during a cutscene, because the screen is just so small but if you dont mind that, then this will do fine!

I have tried Remote play with:

  • Vita + L2/R2/L3/R3 Grip
  • PSTV
  • Xperia Z3 tablet compact + DS4 + Game Mount
  • PC + DS4

    In terms of usage, I use the PC the most followed by Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact + DS4. But they all work...

    In terms of ease of use / portability, I'd say it's a toss up between Tablet/DS4/Mount & Vita then PC (Laptop) + DS4. Vita isn't bad, but the screen is too small for my taste for remote play, and the grip, even though helps to add extra buttons, isn't as natural as using the DS4.
u/LordAkeldama · 3 pointsr/playstation

An alternative can be buy a PSVita because they are a lot of PSP games compatible (do not know if all PSP titles are available). Plus, you can play PS1 titles as well. PSVita have a lot of great games too.

EDIT: Here is a deal of a used PSVita

u/BigOnAnime · 3 pointsr/vita

I use the CTA Digital case. I also have the official Sony Travel Pouch for keeping the 3 parts of the charger, though to fit the Vita in there with the brick and USB cable, I have to take the part that plugs into the electrical outlet (the figure 8 cable) out or else it's too tight of a fit. Also if you've got Sony's official external battery pack, that can fit where the bricks goes in the pics.

I also have the following 2 cases made by HORI which I'm not using atm. The blue I'm intending on using with the Aqua Blue slim I'm planning on getting in July so I have both the OLED and slim Vitas, and maybe sometime the pink one if I want to carry games as the blue one unfortunately doesn't hold any.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B005WPFLO8 (Looks like this on the inside, my OLED Vita did move around a bit when I tested it out which some of the reviews pointed out if Google translate is to be trusted)

Planning on also getting this Smatree case for that Vita slim for holding the 3 parts of the charger and if I ever want to bring everything at once. According to reviews, all 3 parts will fit, but it'll be a bit of a tight fit.

I use the CTA grips http://smile.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Hand-Grip-playstation/dp/B0073ESZ58 which are basically the Nyko one without the built-in battery as I have read a lot of reports of that battery being cheap and failing pretty quick.

I have fairly large hands, and they work pretty well. And they are dirt cheap, which is also a bonus.

And you can use them with the official PS Vita carrying case just by cutting off the small strap used to connect to the vita. Which is also nice.

Unfortunately as your edit says because of the PS TV, this feature that could breath new life into the PS3 will not happen. Though wondering if down the line some very talented people could figure out how the 4 is streaming to the Vita/PSTV & make a bootleg app for the Ps3- but its a long shot & you would probably lose online abilities.

However the good news is that the PS Tv isn't that expensive if you really want to do something like that. It comes out at the end of October. http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-TV/dp/B00KVMHSUM
