Right, this caught my eye while browsing for used Vita games in my local market.

Completely disgusted by this.

Stuff like this is nothing new, people are still selling stuff like "virtual chip for PSP", "chipped PS2 memory cards" etc. and uninformed people buy it. dang, there are people who are selling links to torrents, that stuff is still pretty small thing. But yea, profiting off somebody else's work is quite stupid (and for that price, holy potatoes riding an elephant)

dang. Not sure if even reporting that will matter, I suppose one could report it with an explanation but lol I doubt the admins would care, anyway, hopefully no one on the forum falls for that, that price is insanely stupid too! :o

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't see a problem since there have been many replicas of devices and this is no different.

It seems to me that you'd eventually get your account locked for repeatedly activating Vitas, especially since you'd have to use the "deactivate everything" option since you can't actually deactivate the Vita you want to "jailbreak." Although maybe people would be so unlikely to pay $115 for this service that you'd never hit that cap. (or, assuming the 3.01 games are back on the store and can be transferred, I guess you'd just use the other person's account or create a new account for each device on your PS3, but you'd then cut into your profit by repeatedly buying the exploit game)

My guess is you'll never see your Vita or money again.

Oh, haha, I just read "peso" and didn't pay attention to the currency symbol. For 34 dollars there is basically no chance they aren't just attempting to steal Vitas. ;P
