no and you shouldn't buy stolen items

Demo mode?
Do you mean this strange debug mode with the dolphins?



Graphic Test Mode

It will show some dolphins and a seashell. in this mode you can test the spotlight performance on the PS Vita.

To enable this mode: Turn off the device and then Hold Power + Volume -/+

To disable this mode: Holding Power + L + PS

I didn't know this even exsisted,
but only works untill FW. 1.50, wonder why they removed it.

So you think it's in kiosk mode? So you don't have settings icon or anything? How did you receive it? What did it come with?

Because we discovered it ^^

Afaik are such kiosk devices just for big stores like ...

Saturn, Mediamarkt (german ones)
Best Buy (american ones)


... and not for private people, so it seems that you got stolen goods.

Exactly. So in my mind a bunch of questions come up. Like how does a kiosk vita get stolen anyway? And I always wondered how the demos were loaded onto them, game card? Memory card?

heeeeecks no. horrible idea. don't put your pain onto someone else. and at that, if you get caught. they'll assume you stole a demo vita. anyhow, how much are you out of the hole on this one? there's so many questions buzzing through my mind. but i'm not trying to barrage you.
