Picked up this Sony PlayStation Vita TV (PCH-2000) for 30€ with a complimentary mould smell. A good clean, a CFW install and a Jeff Chen stand later, it's a nice little unit.

Today's catch, a #PlayStation #Vita TV for 30€. Smells super moldy but it works and after a good cleaning the smell is starting to dissipate. #Castlevania #SOTN

There we go, the deed is done. This #PlayStation Vita TV is now running CFW just like my handheld Vitas. Happy father's day to all the dads out there! Now let's play some #Sonic
