Hey guys.

I'm looking for somewhere to buy a brand new PS Vita from. That is at least under $200.

Thanks

  I think most physical stores in aus no longer have brand new ones for sale so you have to buy online - pay asia has anew one for 275 - i dont think your going to find someone selling a new one for under $200 anymore because eb sells refurbs for $160

    Yeah I had a look at play Asia. A bit pricey though! Thanks for your help

    What's your take on refurbs?

    Still worth buying from or better to source another second hand seller from like say gumtree or eBay.

    Basically asking which you reckon would be better to try buy from quality wise or you reckon they would be the same.

      If i had a choice id go cash converters - they have 90 days warranty and are cheaper than eb

      I think the Ps vita is a tad expensive for such an old console, so I didn’t get it. Ended up keeping my 3DS instead.

        @Circly: Vita is one of the most fulfilling value add purchases I’ve ever made.

        For me, the Vita was the worst value purchase I made, granted it was a PSV 1000. It gave me repetitive strain injury after my initial few hours of play, and for the next few months, I got crampy wrist pain after 5 mins of play on it, and it even triggered the same pain when using the keyboard/mouse/joysticks/gamepads. Thankfully it subsided over time after I got rid of the thing.

        @akaakmdm:

        i find the 3ds more painful to grip. The weighting of it is all off because of the screen.
