    I wouldn’t say as a flat rule to avoid used / refurbished (though I would avoid ‘refurbished’ in general, mind, talking more about ‘second-hand’ here). I got my Vita a couple of weeks ago from CEX, a preowned retailer. I asked if he could switch one on and see what OFW it was running. He put it on charge, I left for 10 minutes, came back, it was working, and he let me verify its FW (3.52) before I bought it.

    Don’t be afraid to just ask!

    Went into a local used store. Tested 3 Vitas. Only one wasn’t 3.61. I bought that one. Best purchase in a while with all these updates lol.

    There is no guide….

      You go to settings > System Information and then the firmware are printed on to the screen.

    Just letting everyone know I purchased a Japanese Aqua Blue model on ebay 2 days ago, and it shipped with 3.61 firmware… perhaps they are updating all of them or something… Just to be safe I ordered a Borderlands 2 bundle, cause I don’t want to go through that again.

    Has anybody bought any of the new japanese models (glacier white, neon orange) recently and had good luck with it lower then 3.60?
