Who It Is For

The PSV 2000 is ideal for gamers who want access to the PS Vita library, PSP games, and retro emulation (FC, GB, GBA, GBC, Neo Geo, SNES, MD, PS1, N64, CPS1-3, and some ports). It's also great for those who prefer a lighter handheld with longer battery life compared to the original PS Vita.

Buying Notes

No official price is available. The PSV 2000 is discontinued but can be found used. Note that it lacks a vibration motor and active cooling. Video output requires a proprietary dock. The LCD screen is less vibrant than the original OLED model. Ensure you have compatible memory cards for game saves and downloads.
