Import from Japan. Expect to pay more for shipment and long wait times.
Shame that it's officially dead now. Weirdly, I've been using mine a lot more these past few months than I have a long time prior. I just bought a physical copy of Death Mark for it because it was about £20 cheaper than anywhere I could get the PS4 version for, so in a way the Vita can still be a great alternative when other systems' versions are too damn expensive.
Nice. I've been on the hunt for good deals on Vita games as well lately, but I've mostly encountered the opposite. Prices that are 50-100% higher compared to PS4 versions.
I'm guessing the Switch revision, if real, will lead to another handheld sized handheld? Or is that era over?
I've been contemplating about buying another one just in case my og vita died. I owned it since year 1. Probably my favorite handheld in term of actually playing there. The form factor is just perfect imo.
I still like to play it from time to time. Still have plenty of backlog there

Brilliant hardware, some amazing games available nowhere else, lots of value through crossplay and remote play with PS4. It's kind of bizarre that the Vita wasn't huge, it did virtually everything well aside from the memory issue.
Nope, they're gonna be even more expensive now that production has ended
Tons of potential lost because of Sony fucking up.
Vita was awesome and the best handheld I have ever owned. The fact it survived on its own this long is something to behold and respect. Somebody once said the Vita is like a child who was abandoned by its parents then went on to live on its own and graduate school and college which perfectly describes it.

The "memory issue" was a huge issue. A new Vita buyer would have to buy the Vita, a memory card and a game. Three different things to even start using the device, none of them particularly cheap unless you're getting the game from the bargain bin.
Shipments ended in 2016 IIRC, but I don't think they directly acknowledged it.
Already expensive devices that will become more scarce over the next few years. If anything they're going to go up in price.
The memory cards will get even more expansive.
Honestly? I would recommend everyone to hack it and use normal SD cards with instead.
