An underrated little handheld system for relatively cheap!
The Vita system itself was excellently packaged, having been wrapped up in bubble wrap. However, it was shipped with an incompatible cable, with it being USB-C while the Vita had a Micro USB port. I also took a moment to confirm that the 16 GB Vita memory card mentioned on the listing was indeed installed into the system on initial inspection.
That mistaken cable wasn't a deal-beaker, as I had a spare micro USB cable sitting around, and I was able to use it in tandem with a Samsung power brick I had handy to recharge the Vita, as the battery had been totally drained on initial unboxing.
While the Vita was charging, I decided to do a quick test of the buttons to see how they feel, and they felt good on first impression. The sticks also felt fine as well.
After a bit of charging, I was able to run through initial setup, play the built-in Welcome Park game for a bit, and download a few free games off of PSN.
However, the Vita was oddly picky about what cable I used to charge it... Initially, it gave up on charging after a few minutes, but swapping to a different cable and power brick I had sitting around, it charges up just fine.
After the Vita charged up to full, I'm happy to report that the battery seems to be fine on first impression. The touch screen, all the buttons and the two sticks, and the back touch pad are all operational, as I had no issues playing the few games I've played on it thus far.
Hacking the Vita system to further unlock its potential went smoothly, and I was able to use an SD2Vita adapter I got off of Amazon to expand its storage more easily compared to how I would've needed to pay out the nose for a high-capacity Vita memory card.
