The PCH-2000 followed in 2014 with a slimmer body, an LCD screen, a micro USB port and 1 GB of built-in storage. This listing may be either model, and both play the same PS Vita game cards and digital purchases. Both have dual analog sticks, a rear touch pad, front and rear cameras, and Wi-Fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGames built around the hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vita does its best work with games designed for its controls. Uncharted: Golden Abyss uses the touchscreen for climbing and the motion sensors for aiming. Tearaway lets you poke your fingers through its paper world from the rear pad. Gravity Rush has Kat shifting gravity to fall sideways across the city of Hekseville. Persona 4 Golden, Killzone Mercenary and LittleBigPlanet PS Vita round out a strong physical library, and many smaller downloadable games found a home here too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to check on a pre-owned Vita\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photo is representative, so screen, shell and button wear vary by unit. When your Vita arrives, check the screen for dead spots, both analog sticks for drift, and the charging port for a snug fit. The PCH-1000 needs a PS Vita memory card for most games and saves, while the PCH-2000 has 1 GB inside. Accessories vary by unit, and memory cards, chargers and games are included only if the title lists them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSony PlayStation Vita (PCH-1000 or PCH-2000)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePS Vita\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandheld console\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlays\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePS Vita game cards and downloaded PS Vita games\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePS Vita memory card slot, plus 1 GB built in on the PCH-2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharges through a proprietary port on the PCH-1000 or micro USB on the PCH-2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan the PS Vita play PSP discs?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Vita has no UMD drive, so PSP discs will not fit or play. It runs PS Vita game cards, which slot into the top edge of the system, along with games downloaded to a PS Vita memory card or the PCH-2000's internal storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAre PS Vita games region locked?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003ePS Vita game cards are not region locked, so a US system can play imported cards. Digital purchases are tied to the region of the PlayStation Network account you sign in with.

The Vita uses Sony's own PS Vita memory cards, not standard microSD cards. The PCH-1000 has no internal storage for games, so most titles need a card to save. The PCH-2000 includes 1 GB inside, enough for saves and a few small games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is included with this Vita?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listing is for the PS Vita handheld itself.
