Well guys, the other day I decided on the original OLED VITA.
I looked at both of them side by side, and even though there was not a massive difference, the difference was enough that I wanted the OLED right away. I also liked the fact that the original is a bit heavier. People have said the build quality is better, and I agree. It'll be used indoors and plugged in the vast majority of the time so the longer battery life of the PHC-2000 did not sway me towards it. Ever since I got the PS4 at launch I've been talking about wanting the OLED Vita, so that had something to do with my decision as well.
I picked up an 8 GB memory card and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. Downloaded alot of demos. Really like Little Deviants. I remember it being shown on stage at PlayStation Meeting 2011 when VITA was revealed as NGP. That's the game that stood out, to me.
Remote Play seems to work flawlessly. At first I forgot to enable high framerate but once I did, very impressed.
Regarding PSP digital games that have been taken down from the PS Store, I really wanted to play R-Type Command. I guess there is no way around this, like finding someone who has a memory card for sale with that game on it. Would be tied to their account right?
