Tip # 1: There are some decent free games for the Vita on PSN. These are Frobisher Says and Treasures of Montezuma Blitz. Neither game is going to take your breath away, but they are both fun in their own way. Next year another free game is coming out called Picotto Knights, which looks like it could be fun. Keep an eye on it.
Tip # 2: Some Vita games are released as both cartridges and digital downloads. Others are released purely as digital downloads. You should probably get the biggest memory card you can afford so you have space for these digital-download-only games, and DLC. There are also older PSP and PSX games that you can download which will also take up space.
Tip # 3: The Vita library is still growing, but there are a handful of more popular games on the system. I think generally speaking, Little Big Planet Vita is one of those games on the system that will appeal to a lot of people.
There are some other retail games with varying levels of popularity: Gravity Rush, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Lumines, Disgaea 3, Metal Gear Solid HDC, Assassin's Creed: Liberation, Hot Shots Golf, Wipeout, Ragnarok Odyssey, Virtue's Last Reward, and maybe even Black Ops are all pretty recommendable games off the top of my head.
And on the digital-download-only side of things: Dokuro, Retro City Rampage, Escape Plan, Super Stardust Delta, Mutant Blobs Attack, Motorstorm RC, Little King's Story 2, When Vikings Attack, Soundshapes and Zen Pinball are pretty popular.
Tried to cover as many of the big favorites as I could think of, but there may be others.
Tip # 4: Look for Black Friday deals. There are bound to be some.
