My vita came in perfect condition, brand new

SoI was scared that I would get ripped off or receive my precious vita damaged in some way. However fear not! My vita came in perfect condition, brand new, still in its box and everything. It's like it just came out of the factory (setting and everything) in beautiful condition. Though it's from Japan, you can set the language to whichever once your start, and you can reassign the buttons. I've only had it for a few weeks and so far I haven't had any problems. The extra $20 was worth it after having to deal with banged up used Vitas, for $176, from Gamestop

すごい！

+Works pretty well! The design allows for comfortable long term sessions, it also feels pretty responsive. +Any microUSB cable will charge it. +Basically has the entire PS4 library. -Does not come with the proprietary SD card, the internal SD card is enough for system updates and such. If you want to download and store games you must get their brand of SD cards which can get pricey. ~Our internet isn't the best so remote play is a bit underwhelming. If you have better internet than we do I'm sure it functions very well.

Great Portable Experience, Unfortunate Market

The PSVita is great, especially if you like Japanese games or Western Indie games. Set up is easy, its region free so don't worry about import Vitas, you can choose english as a language. PLEASE UPDATE your Vita BEFORE installing games, or playing them. Save files can be corrupted if the Vita Updates in the middle of game sessions. I can confirm the Japenese models do switch inputs of X and O in the main menus and store, but games purchased in the North American store do use default X and O inputs that you use on the PS3 and PS4 when your in the game. The rear touch pads may get in your way if you have larger hands like I do, but this only occurs if the game has touch pad support, such as in Darkest Dungeon. Unfortunately the memory cards are still outlandishly expensive, and for those who aren't aware, it's because Sony Cards have a sort of DRM built into them. I recommend, honestly, no less than 16GB, however I ran through that quickly with about 7 games installed. If your not interested in a Nintendo Switch, then by all means invest in the 32GB or 64GB cards. A quick note on battery life, I got the new slim model, which I say gets a solid minimum 4 hours, and about a maximum of 8 hours of solid gametime. I have not used my Vita for Movies/TV/Videos, or for Party chat on PSN. The PSVita is a good portable gaming experience, that allows you to play fantastic games, both new and old (PSP, PS1, PS2 and some PS3 games) that unfortunately did not get big or mainstream in Western Markets.

Great system!....but has one issue

Great system! Works perfectly and handles remote play with my PS3 and PS4 like a dream. Came in brand new with everything included in the box. There was just one issue dealing with false advertising. This system is not the Japanese Glacier White edition, it's the Hong Kong edition. It's not too big of a deal since it's not region locked but it's upsetting when you open your package and find the PS Vita box is written in Chinese. If you love the PS Vita and want the Glacier White edition then look pass where it came from, because I highly recommend owning this beauty.

It's really good, but I have to tell your it didn't ...

It's really good, but I have to tell your it didn't come with memory card, you have to buy a memeroy card specially for psv, it's more expensive than normal memory card, never buy a 16G, I installed four huge games and it's almost full, so if possible buy 32G or bigger. I hope it helps.

Love the Japanese Playstation Vita and works great with all my American PS Vita games and accessories!!

I love the Glacier White finish. It has more of a premium matte feel so the body doesn't attract as much fingerprints and such. I purchased this Vita from Ninjya if you need a recommendation! Box was in great shape and product was sealed and brand new! I recently had an Aqua Blue 2nd gen Vita slim (the Gamestop Exclusive) previously and must say that the experience is quite the same. A near seamless transition from American to Japanese Playstation Vitas. I was somewhat apprehensive purchasing this from Japan but it truly is region-free. From what I understand, the only thing that you are really "locked" into is the Playstation store of your playstation account's region. I don't think this has any impact on 99% of users who have no interest in using Japanese or other region's Playstation stores. All of my American PS vita games, memory cards, and games i've downloaded from the PS store work perfectly. Off the bat, when you fire up the Vita, you can select the english language. The O and X commands are understandably reversed (in Japan they use the O button primarily to select and X to back out of menus, the exact reverse of how it is in the U.S.). If this bothers you, you can easily change it in Settings > Accessibility > Button Assignments. However, when you actually play games, the controls seem to defer to the game's default set up for controls. Other times, I've noticed that some games will defer to the system's setting. Personally, I've left the settings alone and have been just fine with it. Overall, I'm glad I purchased the Japanese Vita. There are several colorways in Japan right now for the Vita Slim: Neon Orange, Glacier White, Aqua Blue, Metallic Red, Silver, and more. If you purchase an American PS Vita Slim online, unfortunately, you are almost certainly limited to one color, Black, as there was only a small, limited release of the Aqua Blue Vita Slim at Gamestop that has been over for quite some time now.

Product came in super early even though its imported from Japan

I've seen that this particular model doesn't have any reviews so I'll go ahead and write one down based on my expectations with the Glacier White model. Product came in super early even though its imported from Japan.Came in a box with styrofoam inside and was really well cared for. The Vita on the other hand,made me fall in love with it at first sight.It's gorgeous.I prefered the Glacier White model over the completely white one because the joysticks from the white model were gray.I assumed that after a lot of usage the joysticks would get dirty unlike the black joysticks from the Glacier White model.This is the first time I own a Vita so I can't really tell the difference between the OLED and LCD display.But either way the graphics look incredible.Good thing about the vita is that its incredibly light,I was expecting it to be a bit heavier even if it is the slim version.The battery has lasted for about 6 hours from excessive playing which is great,you can charge it with your android charger if you have once since its the same one (it already brings a charger but anything can happen).When you turn it on for the first time,it asks you what language to set up the Vita and it plays literally any game since its region free so you wont have any problems with that if that's your main worry.Only downside from this is that you need to buy a memory card to play games that require a lot of data saving.But it brings 1gb internal memory so you can start playing a few games that run with just 10 MB. But overall I'm incredibly pleased with my purchase.It brought everything listed in the description.The price wasn't bad,the shipping time was excellent and the Vita is incredible.Would recommend this seller to anyone tbh. *Note: I would recommend people to at least buy a memory card of more than just 8GB because some games have a lot of content to download so those 8GB would be gone in just one game.

Highly recommended!

I love, love, LOVE this thing! I bought this on Amazon a couple of months ago, and it has been a joy to use! I own the original Vita as well, but I love the Sony Glacier White color scheme (which I have for PS3 and PS4 dualshock controllers), and I decided to buy this Japanese model, as it is region-free. The system can immediately be configured for English menu selections. The default selection button in japan for PS products is circle (O), but this model can be configured to use the X button like the North American models do. The 1 GB of built-in storage is perfect for PS vita game saves. However, I love playing old PS One classics, and I have a 16 GB memory card to save them to. PS1 downloads range from several hundred MB to more than 1 GB for large games that were multi-CD when released (i.e. Final Fantasy series). PSP and Vita games are also >1GB, so keep that in mind. If you only plan on using the Vita for Vita games, this is the system to get if you hate what Sony did with their exclusive memory cards, but this is a great model for everyone. And as a note, the Japanese outlet plug is compatible with North American power outlets, but you can charge the Vita with your computer via the included USB cable.

Awesome system, great buy.

I love the white coloring. It matched my White PS4 Pro. Seeing how this is a Japan Import the X & O are swapped but i noticed when i was playing Sly Cooper 1 on this system the X worked as X and O as O but only when the default system settings are in place which is X-O & O-X but if i swap to how im used to the ingame settings change so jump is O. So pretty much any PSN USA account games you purchased they will use the reverse settings to your system settings. Just one thing i noticed. But other then that the system was flawless, brand new as described. Looking forward to playing a ton of those classics which is the main reason i picked this one up in 2018.

It's very light and its resolution is good.

I have a PSP 2000 (sadly it's broken now), but this one is somewhat better. Its UI is easy to use and PlayStation Network is pretty nice to search some games that you want to play. I've already bought many games through PSN because they've been having a big sale for holiday season and new year. It's fun to search games on PSN. I have a few Nintendo 3DS and one Nintendo Switch. I bought this PS Vita in addition to my game consoles. It's been only three days after I got my Vita, but I just love my Vita already. I won't need any more game console for ten years from now. このVita達で後10年は戦える。$200 is worth spending. Just be caution, you'll need a Sony's PS Vita memory card to play Vita. Some game store their save data to the memory card. If you download games through PSN, you definitely need a memory card. I would recommend to buy 64 GB PS Vita memory card to start with.
