So, I've been thinking about picking up a Vita soon, and there were some things I just wanted to know to get some insight on what I might be getting myself into

1. Does the system come with a memory card or do I have to buy one separately?

2. What are some games you could recommend?

3. Would it be better to go mostly for physical or digital?

4. Is there something I should know before getting the system (example if there's hardware issues or something that doesn't work right)?

If anyone could answer these or point me to somewhere else that could, I'd appreciate it

1-No, the vita doesn't come with a memory card but you can find several bundles around that come with memiry card.

2- First and foremost, the vita has become a japanese niche games device. It does have some very good western games, but the majority of games are from japan.  Recommendations would depend on what genres you enjoy. I'm a sucker for Falcom games JRPGs/VNs personally and judjing by you sig:  Legend of heroes series, Ys games , Persona4 Golden, Tales of Hearts r, Digimon Cyber (great game), Gravity rush, Little big planet vita, Dangan ronpa series, Steins; Gate, muramasa. There are also lots of great indies like Guacamelee, Axiom Verge, Spelunky etc.. Plus the nicher JRPGs :p like atelier and Neptunia. I could go on for awhile.

3-I started my vita days going physical but now I'm mostly digital with the exception of japanese imports. It really depends on your preferences. There are lots of good sales that  happen from time to time too in case you go digital.

4-hmm, I don't have any issues with my vitas. If I had to decide I would say not being able to seitch between accounts on the fly like on ps3/ps4. That and start/select button were kinda awkward in the orginal vita, but it's much better in the slim.
