I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance of a store that sells all sorts of games, new and retro. I can shop there for Vita games if I want to :)
You must buy physical games. Stop downloading games if you can. Do you know how to use the vita content manager? You have to download it on your computer. Therefore you can transfer and store games and game save data to you computer to free up space on you vita mem card
It's nice to see that some Vita games are still on sale somewhere in retail. The last time I saw Vita games being sold in local videogame shops was more than 2 years ago ):
In England we have a second hand shop called CEX. It's a chain all across the country. Anyway, I went in a couple months ago, and searched high and low for Vita games. Nothing. Then, behind the counter, I saw they had a lot of unsorted stock - stock they'd have run through their database but not shelved yet. I asked the woman behind the counter - she looked pretty cool, wearing her Mario t-shirt, with matching Wario earrings, and even a game themed tattoo on her arm if, by chance, there were any PS Vita games anywhere in stock. "What" she asked. I repeated my question, and without smiling, and without trolling me, she asked me a deadly serious question.. "what is a PS Vita?".
Hey Bro I also live in Britain and not to far from 3 CEX stores in opposite directions from each other, I don't have your problem, they always have vita games, actually so does GAME and independent secondhand game shops here in cornwall. I never struggle to find games. JUDGE-D-E-A-T-H1 out, Bye&Gone
@@judgedeath4568 Cornwall, great place. CeX isn't too bad up here in sunny West Midlands. I'm just not a fan of their stores tbh, they literally have water damaged games on their shelves and games in real bad condition sometimes :(
@@RediscoveringRetro yeah I hate it when they sell games like that. CEX was selling a physical copy of Amazing Spiderman with bottom half of the front cover missing at £20. I didn't buy it. Ppl don't know how to look after things. I also pick up a game here and there in charity shops and carboots. I recently bought the Gamecube version of Luigi's Mansion for £1 in a charity shop for animals, I sold it on EBay a week later for £27 and with the money I bought Shinobido 2 for vita
I love in Cumbria England, don’t see many vita games in the wild here anymore. A shop called CEX still has a few in stock but just the really common stuff and at really inflated prices
sad life for the Vita there my friend.. you should visit the Philippines LOL!!! just bring a lots of money, you will blown away we got ton of Vita games here brandnew and sealed..
I have hundreds of newly sealed VIta games and looking at the offerings in stores is sad in a way. I could literally open up my own store at this point lol. Edit: Okay @ 5:15 I'm blown away that they have Steamworld. Not bad.
Yeah it was quite surprising indeed. Unfortunately because they are not really selling, the store owner doesn't plan to get anymore LRG titles at this time.
We have three local Gamestops and one "Game Xchange", all of which carry Vita titles, even if their stock is fairly static and unchanging. So, I feel pretty blessed. Have yet to see any Limited Run titles, though! That's pretty cool. Definitely wish I had that La Mulana...
Noice! Here in Corpus Christi, our stores don’t have shit in the way of Vita! It’s a real bummer for sure! Those sealed copies of Steamworld Heist for Vita, tho! Damn, bro. If I wasn’t saving up for the new Spider-man game on PS4, I’d totally PayPal you the money to pick one of those copies up for me! That’s a badass game for sure! ☺️
PSVita at 2am I appreciate the good looking out for me, bro. Nah, I’ll go ahead and pass as I own the digital version of the game on my Vita as it is. I was just thinking about the physical version of the game and how cool it would be to add to my collection is all. 🤓
I wish there were still stores where I live that had vita games! We used to have so many in shops here a few years ago but it's SUCH slim pickings now! occasionally you can find some second hand but it's very rare to now :/ I have to import mine when I do buy hardcopy vita games :') (I'm South African)
The price is too high $35 $20 $10 better for the PlayStation Vita the GameStop. store around here is $2.39cents to $35 tax Chicago for you the last sale $15 for certain games.
Hahahaha you guys are too much! To answer your question though this Mall has slowly been dying for a few years now, so many stores in it have closed already.
Lol i wish i could find dead or alive with the case. I went to the local flea markey and managed to find world of final fantasy, smart as and neptunia action unleashed.
I purchased my DOA for the Vita from PS Store and because of that I received $10 from Sony as a reward for being a loyal user of PSN Store. This was 5 years ago. So, with my $10 dollars I bought Fight Night Round 3 for the Vita as well.
@@PSVitaat2am i got final fantasy for like 18 neptunia around 15 and also 15 for smart as. i know i paid to much for It but o well i dont mind lol at least this time
RJ One huge regret is not getting one. Could have gotten the bundle for $10 more than the included PS3 controller, at one point. I still need to get a backup Vita and PS3 controller but I'll probably end up getting them when my stuff is broken and refurbs are more expensive.
@@Rpm2878 , I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago! I snatched up all the physical heavy hitter vita titles and 3 pstvs n a vita [2001 model]. I gotta get my OLED back tho. People that played little to no Vita games talk so much crap about Vita, arbitrarily, in their echo chambers like idiots. Majority of true video game conssisours picked up and enjoyed the Vita/pstv since day one with little to no complaints. Now I'm sitting back playing all of these amazing vita titles that I own. A niche system like this will be sought after and prices will go crazy
@@Rpm2878 oh, your better off getting the latest dualshock 4 controller which is waaaay better that the dual shock 3 controller. The current Ds4 controller has a very accurate touch pad. When you buy one make sure it's the LATEST revision and not the old one.

@@PSVitaat2am Here in brazil everything is too expensive.. everything. Games are one of the most in that case cause dollar here are in BRL 5,40. Stealth inc on PSN cost BRL 53,90.. imagine paying 53,90 dollars to stealth inc. Compensate buying a "blundle" with Stealth inc 1 and 2 for BRL63,90

Went to GameStop the other day and asked if they had any Vita games.
The employee blinked and never responded. (They didn't.)
Hahaha I've definitely been in that situation. Now many Gamestop's are keeping the Vita games behind their counters, even the new releases.
I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance of a store that sells all sorts of games, new and retro. I can shop there for Vita games if I want to :)
Bro now I need to move to your area!
Long live the Vita!
I'll drink a gallon of Root Beer to that!
It's not dead yet tho
i bought a 64gb memerory card and it is now full!

Wow, a lot of great games I bet you have that card filled with Joey. :)
Great video! Dunno how many times I have seen it, so fun!
Wow, thanks! Appreciate the rewatch Marco. :)

I guess it differs from area to area.
I have driven all over my town looking for vita games just to save from paying online prices. I have found limited run games too! Thanks for video!
Hey no problem! Local is always the best place to get deals.
Ooo also more Vita hunting vids would be awesome heh. If I get time next weekend I'll see if I can film three different towns here in the UK.
Yeah man please do, it's always interesting to see how everyone's region differs. :)

Good game for sure. :)
I love in Cumbria England, don’t see many vita games in the wild here anymore. A shop called CEX still has a few in stock but just the really common stuff and at really inflated prices

Edit: Okay @ 5:15 I'm blown away that they have Steamworld. Not bad.
Yeah along with a Limited Run Games shrine too no doubt.
True story, I used to play EVERY lrg game they made and then over the last year they put out so many I couldn't keep up. For shame...
Don't feel bad man as it's understandable. It does feel at times they are releasing some games just for the sake of releasing one.
I bought dead or alive 5 plus with the case at GameStop for $12. Great vid btw you should do more of these if you can.
If you want you can buy doa last round to get the latest content if you like the game
Thanks! I will try to do more of these in the future, it's just hard finding a store with a decent amount of Vita stock.
Eh... Had no faith of seeing many vita games in the wild, but that La Mulana Ex collector's edition! Hwat an item to have in a physical store! :O

Some retro game stores are beginning to sell them, I believe that's why the ESRB logo is now being required on all their releases.
Very nice!
Pretty good selection all things considered.
I want to see more videos like this you should make this a series
I actually have another video like this comming in the pipeline, still gotta edit it though. :)

i wish i had found this sooner!
@@viniciussoares2018 well done mate for finding it, it's one of the best
What state you in? Am in south florida. Cool vid!
I live on the west coast, finding Vita games can be hard.
The price is too high $35 $20 $10 better for the PlayStation Vita the GameStop. store around here is $2.39cents to $35 tax Chicago for you the last sale $15 for certain games.
Admittedly I do feel DOA was overpriced. Hmmm wonder if that game will be sought after in the future.
Look at you with your Indiana Jones hat
Duuuude I should have totally wore one!
I wNt those limited run games!!!
Dude it was so crazy to see them at a local store.
Is it me or the mall looks empty. What time did u go there? Btw i think that batman shirt is freakin cool!

Ahhh big collectors!
I was at the mall yesterday and I did not see any psvita games. sadly!
I know the feeling man, it's gonna get harder and harder in the future.
That make me sad
Me as well, but no worries as we still got many games to look forward to. Don't get discouraged brother. :)
I haven't seen a vita game in my mall since last year....
I feel you there! And once the Vita is officially discontinued prices will only go up.
Very sad stocks of Vita games. Like the Vita never existed at all.
It is a sad sight to be sure but don't get discouraged, as we still have many great games to look forward to. :)
Christ... meanwhile at europe... I don't see that many...
I guess it depends on your area, even here I see Gamestop's gutting Vita games already. Those poor cases.
