Did the PS Vita Mega Pack 1 bought for my son 13 years here at Amazon for $ 199 (at Saturn, it was 20 more expensive). He had previously Nintendo DSi and Sony PSP consoles, and now wanted something better again. Hab installed him the Vita and also tested himself something. The hardware is definitely the best thing currently available on the market, strong buy recommendation. For the installation you need necessarily a fast Wi-Fi, and you should inform something to avoid errors. In the Pack a 16GB memory card is included, plus download code for the 10 games. After switching on you must first create a PSN account or even specify an existing - in this case one has to be careful because you can not later change this without the unit to bring in their original condition and format the memory card. This PSN account is established "married" with the Vita and the memory card, you can not create more. The age that one makes this (date of birth) affects what games you can install and play with the device ...! Without fast WLAN can be the Vita did not install (if necessary it is also via USB connection with a PC Internet, I have not tested), at the beginning it loads equal an extensive firmware update. Once that is installed before downloading the free games, you should reformat its memory card again. One has then subsequently 14GB of 16GB free for download games (the other 2GB are apparently reserved by the system). The download and install the 10 Mega Pack games takes even with fast WLAN very long, several hours. At the end are still about 8 GB, so about half the storage space on the memory card free. Of all played Games like my son just WipeOut 2048, and Ratchet & Clank. The others are more for younger / do its thing, or just cheap freebies. Has he any deleted. The range of PS Vita games commercially is still relatively manageable, and the prices are still relatively high (so between 15-50), we have Need for Speed Most Wanted used for 15 bought, he will top. Recommended for Vita gamers is a PSN Plus subscription (costs 15 for 3 months or 50 for 1 year), so you get more free downloadable games (always at least 5 pieces, whereby a month 1 or 2 of them exchanged). Since current top hits like Uncharted Golden Abyss and Gravity Rush are, for the subscription starting worthwhile alone. However, the limited space on the memory card, the number of installable download games, and you can also use only as long as it is paid PSN subscriber. Therefore, would actually be a 32GB or even 64GB memory card recommended (they are very expensive). However, you can also purchase additional memory cards, and this change (which they then but again with the PSN Account "married", that are playable with the account only on this Vita). Due to the somewhat limited offer of genuine original PS Vita top titles (Uncharted and Killzone certainly belong to) and the inflated price for the Sony memory cards (currently 70 for 32GB) I forgive 4 stars, for hardcore gamers who want to be mobile but definitely a clear buy recommendation. The trend is likely to be even better since the launch of the PS4 and the price reduction for the Vita games offer.
