The vita screen is pretty resilient, just not perfect.
Thanks, i'm german and we do it the other way here, so it's hard to keep track of.

My comment on the Vita is kind of a suggestion to snap them up if you're interested in getting one at a reasonable price while they're still available, and the Japanese ones on eBay mainly looked to be in very good condition generally as I browsed a lot of listings before making my selection (as opposed to some of the second-hand options available here in the US.) Now I have my original 1st-gen and now a 2nd-gen Vita (for the hell of it) which I admittedly only rarely use, for PS4 remote play.

The dollar-sign comment was actually made under the assumption that you were American, because plenty of people here inexplicably make that mistake despite the fact that 100% of the purchases they've ever made in their lives have reflected the correct currency sign-amount order because retailers all do it correctly (the same goes for any sort of banking, investing, tax filing, etc.) It's just a pet peeve of some of us who see people make that mistake when there's really no reason for it. If you're German, that makes it especially confusing though because, as far as I know, you guys use the Euro, and the Euro symbol also goes to the left.... :confused:

If you're wondering how you should do things "American," just do them the opposite way you'd do them normally.

I'll buy a Switch when it stops being almost as much as a PS4 Pro here. I hope my Vita memory cards will never die, though :japan:

Duden recommends currency signs go to the right in continuous text because that's how you read the text. Putting it before the number is optional if it helps readability of lists or when it's used in finance, eg. Other languages have similar rules or recommendations. English is special :colbert:

Well, it doesn’t have brightly-coloured plastic chunks hanging off the sides, at any rate.

They have to port the engine, I doubt the 3DS Project Mirai code would work.

Is there the potential of the Vita-specific section of the Sony store being shut down (i.e. for game downloads?) Or is it likely that they'll maintain it since the infrastructure is already in place, mainly for PS4 content? I'm trying to figure out if I have to hurry to get games I might want before they shut it down.

PS3 is still up and that's deader than the Vita so I wouldn't worry about it for a while yet.

My postillion has been struck by lightning.
Judging by what happened with the PSP, it's likely to be shut down at some point in the next few years, but there'll almost certainly be an announcement in advance of it happening.

It should be up for as long as PS+ is up. If you have an active subscription and a linked system, that should be honored.

Will it? Of course not.
