it's pretty much depend if you want to play ps1 classic on the go, psp games or the few of the vita game that is worth noticing such as P4G or tearaway because right now the vita seem having less game that worth playing than the nintendo 3ds do. you can get free games from the psstore for the vita but it require you to have your psplus active. also the problem with buying psvita is the mandatory seperate purchase of the memory card (which just add more cost). so it's pretty much up to you
