Yep, you can still buy an OLED one but they won't be producing any more so once the existing stock's gone it's gone :(

How much are you looking for MGS and do I really need to play both of those again :think:
Excellent. So PS Plus it is if I am to get TxK? Cool. Will drop you a private sext about MGSHD as I want to check everything is working first in case the seller sold me a lemon. :)

Nice one, I'll sort that out tonight and grab TxK and that guacamole thing whatever that is. Absolutely no idea what other games aside from Dragon's Crown I'd even want to get. Are 'full price games' cheaper on PSN or is the difference of a retail boxed version nominal?

In other news, Sony stock soars to all-time high as Sony reports Vita sales going through the roof. Failing to specify numbers in light of marketing and competitive reasons, Sony states Vita sales "quadruppled" the past week. More as this develops...

I pretty much always do. Same stuff for less money, makes sense.

Traded my PCE Core Grafx II for my Vita. :shifty:

I'm always a little hesitant when it comes to buying 2nd hand handhelds as I find it difficult to live with scratches on the screen and fudged d-pads and buttons, both of which I'd rather not have to replace. I'm not so fussy about scratches to the case though.

If it's advertised as mint or very good/excellent with no scratches on the screen then I'd probably go for it and keep my fingers crossed that the description's accurate. I looked at a couple of 2nd hand Vitas in Game and they looked like they'd been kept in the pocket of work overalls.

Eh, until recently the Vita didn't have much going for it.

Now it seems to have exploded. Same will happen when the Wii U gets some killer apps.

I hope. :oops:

It still doesnt have much going on really. I really like the device but i hardly ever pick it up for lack of content. Half of it seems indie games anyway; thats not exactly why i bought it.

TxK and OlliOlli are fun enough. Other than that there's Persona 4 Golden, PS1 stuff on PSN and Virtua Tennis 4..

In terms of retail releases there isn't much though. Dangan Ronpa came out recently mind.

I'm sure lots of these games aren't to the tastes of most people here though.

Then there's PS+ if you're that way inclined.

TxK with headphones is amazing, the OLED screen makes it look proper :awe:. I was on a plane journey the other day and the girl next playing Candy Crush kept on glancing at it. Probably thinking WTF is this, where are the in app purchases :)
