Bought one just two days after the PSO2 announcement. The used market is flooded with them right now because there aren't any must have games out for it yet. Can get yourself a fantastic deal on a used one if you buy now. Got mine with all of the original packaging, one game (Asphalt Injection) and a 4GB memory card for $200. Manager at the GameStop I frequent was telling me that the lack of a must have "killer ap/game" is ruining system sales. Said corporate had run sale and trade-in reports and discovered the average person only keeps the Vita for three weeks before trading it in or selling it back to GameStop. Bottom line, it's a buyer's market!
I do have a very serious complaint about the system's charging ability though. Even though the data/charge cable is a USB cable, the system will only accept a charge from it's AC adaptor due to built-in digital product signage. In other words, the AC adaptor isn't just passing along power, it's constantly communicating with the system to let it know "I'm an authentic Sony product". If you plug the USB cable into any other charger or PC port capable of charging the Vita simply will not accept the power. And my reason for knowing this? <sigh> Because both I and the only other person I know who own a Vita have already lost the chargers.
