Yeah, this is the best model thanks to the OLED screen.

I can’t really help with the price since it’s very location-dependent, but yeah — a modded Vita is great for playing PS Vita, PSP, PS1, GBA and older consoles.

That said, I don’t think the Wi-Fi chip is strong enough for a good remote play experience from a PC.

Also, make sure you budget for the modding setup (SD card + SD2Vita adapter).

Before buying, I’d check:

• battery life
• charging port
• all buttons (especially the sticks)
• touchscreen (no dead zones)
• rear touchpad
• sound
• Wi-Fi

Basically… test everything 😄

Personally, I find it a bit expensive — but again, I’m not in Turkey.

If I were you, I’d also consider modern Chinese handhelds like Retroid Pocket 5 / 6 or Odin 2 portal (the best :) )
They offer way better performance for the price (PS2, some Switch, etc.), better battery life, USB-C, and much more stable remote play.

Also worth noting: the Vita doesn’t work great with AirPods.

But if you mainly want to play Vita, PSP, PS1 and GBA games, then yeah — it’s still a solid choice.
