Refurbished Sony PlayStation Vita 2000 Wi-Fi Model with AC Adapter & Silicone Joystick Covers - Glacier White | Portable Gaming Console for Travel, Commuting & Home Entertainment

I was skeptic at first but so far it’s a great product and it’s worked without any issues.The Vita I purchased was a silver Slim Model, it came in with the charger as advertised and actually arrived 4 days early. Overall I was very satisfied from the start, sure it had some scuffs here and there but nothing major, and the screen and touch pad on the back were flawless.I'm docking one star because my Unit was shipped with the right Analog stick drifting downward, I contacted the seller and they instructed me on how to fix it. After following their instructions I fixed the drifting issue (Just used an air can to blow the dust out from under the stick). My problem lies in the fact that it should not have been drifting from the start, if it's such an easy fix they should have had the console working flawlessly when they shipped it to me. Its a small gripe but for paying over $200 for a Vita, you expect near perfection.After wanting a a PS Vita to play old PSP games and Ps Vita games, I decided to bite the bullet and pick this up. I was worried from the reviews that this seller wasn’t that reliable. I didn’t want to cancel the order and hoped I would get lucky and get a pretty new one. The console arrived and I was shocked on how good the console looked. There are scuffs around the console but those are barely noticeable. The screen was like new which made me happy. Later after playing some games, my left thumb stick would drift HARD upwards. After getting annoyed with it, I decided to take it apart to clean the thumb stick out. To my surprise, there were several grass blades in the inside of the console. A single blade of grass was behind the thumb stick which caused the drift issue. I wouldn’t want to buy this to roll the dice and try your luck on getting a good console or a bad console, one with a blade of grass in itIt arrived very quickly, which was really nice. But it was sticky and covered in scratches. The battery was dead on arrival, which isn't a huge deal but it was very slow to charge and when it finally turned on it didn't last very long. It was also the Japanese import which means the buttons are oriented a little differently. None of this information was indicated by the seller.I downloaded a simple racing game to try it out and I was really underwhelmed. Performance is on par with any modern smartphone.A major downside to this product is the need to buy expensive Vita memory cards (since the device has little to no available memory) or hack it and create adapted SD cards. A lot of trouble for something with a weak battery and semi-acceptable processing power.This item was not worth the $194 price. I could've purchased a better one off ebay for much more reasonable cost.The psvita is beautiful only problem is that my right analog stick drifts down sometimes but moving it around fixes the problem temporarily.The only issue I'm having is the x button if I keep using it in a game after a while it starts to make a loud clicking noise. But everything else really good the screen is amazing not a single scratch on it.The Vita is in good shape with just minor scratches on the back side. No issues to report with the screen, sticks or buttons. i am extremely satisfied with this purchase.Exceeded all my expectations. Vita came in almost new condition and 6 days early!
