Got my grade 7 vita with 8 gb memory card. The card was still in packaging but everything else was opened. It looks great except for a ding in the corner which I'm not sure is from use or from shipping. Not impressed with the shipping at all. Shipped in a small box that was just about the width of the vita with bubble wrap on the bottom, all the cables above it, the vita sitting on the cables, and then bubble wrap above it. Didn't even wrap the vita in anything. Vita works flawlessly, screen is beautiful.
Overall, can't complain about $127 for a nice vita and memory card but still a little disappointed that it had a ding for a grade 7.

Purchased a "Grade 6" Mario Red Nintendo DSi XL this morning for $65 + tax. The description did not state anything outside of minor screen wear so I guess I'll see. Never ordered anything from CowBoom before. Always get my used handhelds from Amazon's Warehouse Deals or from eBay.

Received my Grade 7 Vita with an 8 GB card. It came in the original box although the box wasn't in the best condition. After opening the box and inspecting the Vita, it looks flawless! The description said "fine scratches on the back" but couldn't see any. All the cables were brand new and the memory card was still in its package. Overall I'm very impressed and couldn't be any more happier!
Now hopefully I can snag a 360 slim for under $100.

Thanks for the grade comments.
Just got a Wii U for $190 with taxes and shipped.
included everything, even Nintendo Land. It was a grade 7 so can't wait to see how it turns.
I just used the code they advertised, 10% of all orders:
MOOya
EDIT: Damnit, just saw that the code was doing 20% instead, but I moved out of the page and can't duplicate it anymore.

What's the 20% code?

Went back on Cowboom this morning because I was still shocked that I got a Zelda 3ds XL for so cheap. Well, as fate would have it, they had an other Zelda 3DS XL for cheaper at $93.95. I had no option but to buy it.

Yeah, MOOya only does 10% off. Where's 20%? Was that a glitch?
Yeah, it was. There is no 20% code.
Had multiple tabs open and saw one of the items in my cart taking off about $40. Went out and couldn't use the code anymore as I had already put in an order.

I'm gonna try out a vita finally. Not looking forward to buying a memory card though!
Just keep your eyes open for deals on the 32 or 64gb cards. I got two 32gb cards for just over $50 each shipped, and 64gb cards can be found for a little over $100 in many places. While it may seem a little high, my 32gb cards hold about 70-80 games each (mix of smaller and larger games obviously, not all full-blown Vita games). The investment in a good-sized card is well worth it, when you consider how much content you can put on it. And the Vita is a fantastic handheld, the best I've ever used by far; well worth getting even with the slight extra expense of good sized memory cards.

If I were to get a Vita, what size of a memory card should I get? Would 16GB suffice? I do plan on playing lots of games on it.
I'd say 16 is the minimum useful size. 32 or 64 would be preferable, but they can get expensive. I settled on a 32 that I got last October for $43.17 from AWD (Acceptable - came without packaging, and when my wife opened the box, she thought it was empty), and I am still having to pick and choose what to delete in order to add new games. I'm assuming you have PS+.

I bought a 3DS XL Zelda Edition for $97 this morning! It was listed as Grade 8 and only missing the 4gb card and AR cards. Pricing mistake or not, it was a steal!!!
How did you get it for $97, it was just priced lower than the rest for some reason?
