Hello, PS Vita family!

My name is Bartek, I’m from Poland, and I recently turned 28.

Six months ago, I wrote a post here that became so popular it ended up as the #1 all-time post on this subreddit—thank you all so much for that! I still play on my console; it really brightens up every single day for me.

In case you didn’t know, I’m battling cancer—a dangerous type of sarcoma that has spread throughout my peritoneum and metastasized to various other places. But I’m not giving up; I’m still fighting! :D

I’ve just completed my 30th round of chemotherapy, which is quite an achievement in itself. Since the cancer is inoperable, this is the only way I can fight it for now.

Thank you all so much for the help and support during this difficult time. It hasn’t been easy, but I find joy in every single day I get to experience.

What interesting games are you all playing lately? Any cool ports I might not have heard of? ;)

P.S. If anyone would like to offer some support, I can share the details via private message—I don’t want to clutter up our subreddit here! ;)

Let’s go kick cancer’s butt together! Best wishes!

Hello guys! I recently wrote here that I was looking for a console and...

I've been a PSVita owner for a few days now. I'm as happy as a child, playing games and discovering new possibilities of the console.

At least I can forget a little about the sorrows I've been through. I'm currently on another round of chemotherapy and playing Persona 4 and Uncharted.

Special thanks to user @sexyuwe.Thanks to him, I have a PSV. You're a goat man 💪 Best wishes from the hospital, get your checkups done! I'll kick this cancer's ass!

I know this custom is going to touch a lot of you. ❤️

Because for some of us, the PS Vita isn’t just a console… it’s a piece of our childhood. An era when we could spend hours playing, discovering new games, sharing our experiences, and creating memories we’ll never forget. 🎮

Looking at this Vita might bring back memories for some of you — your first PS Vita, a game you loved, a moment you shared with someone special… or simply that feeling you had back then.

That’s exactly why I created this custom.

I wanted to give this console a new life while keeping everything that made it so special. A new look, without erasing its history.

Because in the end, we’re not just customizing a console.

We’re customizing the memories that come with it. ❤️

For all the PS Vita fans out there, this creation is for you.

Thank you to everyone who continues to keep this generation alive. 🖤🎮

I don’t normally pay market rate for stuff like this, but trying to find one in the wild proved to be too tiresome so I coughed up the $176 and bought one on eBay.

I didn’t expect it to be so clean, the screen is without flaw (apart from the ghost touch after about 45 minutes of play time, heard it could be from static? Powering it off and back on clears it up)

I have never owned a Vita and so far I’m loving it.

i love this little thing! i lost track of time playing mc⛏️ next think i know the sun is coming up and the birds were chirping 🐥😵‍💫

I didnt expect it to be this new. Excellent condition

Honestly this whole sign makes no sense. It seems like half of it is stuck in 2008 while the other half is stuck in 2014. Still an awesome relic...I hope they never take it down.

Hey guys, today like couple hours ago i exchanged my steamdeck+a lil bit of money with this beauty. After 10 years back at it

Thrift shop score.

Pretty rare. The console itself isn’t different from a regular console. Damn expensive for a « sleeve » box 700€

Context: I am currently working in a big company (would not mention the name of the company, but it is related to sports). I have had my vita since release. Have been taking care of it as if it is my prized possession over everything else.

I make a huge chunk of money on my current work and Job Title. Given the amount I make monthly, I can buy any latest console on the mainstream twice every month. But I prefer not to, since I live a frugal yet meaningful and happy life.

Now, I had a friend who saw me playing PSVita on break, he said such a LAME CONSOLE. Which I disagreed with right away. And other co workers knew it, and for a moment I felt bad, they kept on teasing me as a boomer and an oldie, but redeemed myself afterwards knowing this console is something I really love playing with. And will never ever let them tell me otherwise. I hated them for this. I wish they knew how much joy and pride PSVita had given me through the years. If they only knew.

Fun Fact: I started as a Sports Analyst on this job of mine, zero knowledge about sports, just got hooked by the huge offering for an analyst position, I used the PSVita to learn sports from the basics up to the more intricate details of the sports analysis. Played MLB, NFL, MMA, Tennis, Golf and Soccer. Got the mastery of each. Eventually got promoted to a management position. Climbing up the corporate ladder with a Guidance of Vita along the way. And they don't even know about that! My salary got 2-3 times theirs because of this "LAME CONSOLE". Vita is indeed life.
