It's not an OLED one, but if you're willing to trade off a nicer screen for better battery life, slimmer profile and a slightly less quality screen (it's really not a bad panel), Above All Games on Amazon is selling new black PCH-2001 Sony Playstation Vita Slim Wi-Fi consoles for $224.00 new w/ free 2-day shipping for Prime members. I just recently bought one and can confirm it was brand new product with FW 3.55. Now running on 3.65 Enso CFW! EDIT: Here's the link - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PV515DU?th=1
Actually I just resorted to sending it back in for a return & then I ordered another one (black one) from Amazon & SUPPOSEDLY, it is a US based Vita brand new & from the more recent reviews, they have been under 3.60. I bought this one specifically https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PV515DU?th=1 from Above All Games. As much as I like the look of the glacier white Vita, I couldn't find a motherboard available on eBay or Ali express for the slim models
Any idea if the regular black version is still 3.60 or below? It's been restocked a few times already. I would buy the Borderlands 2 bundle but it seems a lot of the units suffer from wear issues from sitting in a warehouse all these years.
From what I have read, you can still buy new US Vitas from Amazon from Above All Games via this URL: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStation-Vita-WiFi/dp/B00PV515DU/?th=1
Apparently, because the PS Vita was discontinued before the firmware was upgraded beyond 3.60, all the new stock that was left in the country have 3.60 or lower. Amazon has multiple sellers but if you buy "New" from Above All Games (fulfilled by Amazon), the Customer Reviews indicates that you will be getting firmware 3.55.
Last month, I got a brand new Vita on Firmware 3.55 from Amazon:

There are multiple sellers on Amazon. Make sure you get the one with the seller called "Above All Games" and "Fulfilled by Amazon". Read the User Reviews and many of them corroborate with my experience.
An update on the PS Vital brought from Amazon:

I just received mine in the mail. It's brand new and has the firmware of 3.55 so get it while you can.
Would this one be ok? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PV515DU/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_apa_897Qzb1SRTPPGPep2te
