Happy Birthday Mr Handheld
"wonder why I just said happy birthday to a handheld device" Possibly losing it...
haha don’t worry we are all loosing it these days I think
I was always in awe of kids that had them at school.
Seemed like the next great leap in technology at the time, but what did I know?!
yeah it’s weird I really don’t Remeber too much about this when it launched , I Remeber more the PSP, in surprised this past me buy as I am usually all over all gaming gadgets wether I get them or not
Never had one, but I thought they were pretty cool.
Awesome, I just got a mint condition oled one recently and was shocked at how nice the screen is and the build quality which feels very premium
I didn't play the Vita until the year it was pretty much shut down. I was always more of a Nintendo fan and the PSP was a tad underwhelming to me (although I loved Peace Walker and the Metal Gear Acid series).
oh I’ll need to check out metal gear acid series as I love MGS
I traded one in just last week at cex...
awww what’ model and how much did they give you for it?
It was the original launch day model. ÂŁ65 I think it was. I don't trust selling anything now on the platforms for more. Rather just do a drop and go sell order.
nice! I recently got my hands on the launch model, lovely bit of kit, want to try and get the slim version next to play about with some soft moding
Mine was jailbroken (had to undo it all to trade it in). Emulators work great on it. Its still a decent bit of kit for that sort of thing. I think I had it running on a really old firmware version as hadn't updated in years, so it was still possible via the browser .
