I keep thinking about one, but it would probably have to be a local pickup as I want the screen perfect.

I settled for a PSTV in the end, it does most Vita stuff without the obvious portable aspect. There is a good modding scene.

I've still got my PSP that I bought not long after they were released on a lucky work trip to Japan.

Probably not, and though I had an original GameBoy back in the day, I seem to lack affinity for it, though I do have a GameBoy Advance. I wouldn't mind getting a GameBoy Advance SP again though, I had one for a while and I really did like that little fella.

The thought of an N-Gage makes me physically ill...

I still have a PSP that I re-cased years back. I was doing PSP repairs for a while, and I still have a bunch of parts. I hacked mine with a Pandora battery and have a bunch of homebrew, plus you can dump ISOs from disc and run them from memory stick.

The only reason I wanted a PSVita (or PSTV) was to play TxK from Llamasoft.

Spelunky is ok, has that 16-bit platformer vibe.
