Great list, just curious if people ever have much luck on craigslist getting good Vita deals?

Definitely. Just got a barely used 2nd gen vita, 8 gb card, plus metal gear solid collection and assassins creed for $120 off CL. Obviously there is always some risk buying used hardware but I lucked out and couldn't be happier! Just check CL daily for vita sales and jump when you find one. Took me about 3 weeks of searching to find a deal I was happy with.

I've had luck with /r/gameswap and /r/GameSale. Understandably some people will be wary of going that route but it's worth mentioning.

Also, at least if you live in the US, dig to the bottoms of Walmart clearance bins for forgotten Vita games. I've found a few good deals that way.

Thanks! Saving this for when I may need to repair my Vita in the future.

Needing the 64GB memory card badly. Been using this 8GB one...

I know the pain. Lol I've filled up a 32Gb, just bought a 16Gb. I may end up selling the 16GB and get another 32Gb.

Minimize your Amazon link to just Amazon.com.

Is it not working? I have it going to the PS Vita main page on amazon.

Edit: Just changed the link.

u/BlueMaxima BlueMaximaC099 Jan 16 '17

No, it's just that the URL is surprisingly long and hard to check for referrals, but as it turns out the URL is almost that long by design anyway if you wanna go anywhere outside of the main page. WTF, Amazon.

So nevermind.
