Grabbed a OG Vita last week. Maybe I should have waited....

It's never a problem for me; but is playing Limbo on it awful?

They need to release this thing for £100, and maybe say £130 with a 16GB card and Killzone or Tearaway bundled in. I'm sure their prices will be nothing like that, but I'm just talking if they want to damn thing to be competitive and sell reasonably.
Any chance it is the Vita TV?
My guess is that the Vita TV won't be released until this autumn, or perhaps around the same time as PS Now in EU. If it gets released here at all.
Releasing it now is to guarantee failure imho. They need either some software to back it up (ps now or possibly minecraft, but you can play that on your ps3 or 360 instead), or build up some hype during christmas.

I just personally don't remember ever hearing about other revisions going up for preorder. If it's normal, then my bad. Google search and responses to my post seem to suggest that it is indeed normal. Still baffling to me but, hey, the world is a crazy place.
That's not a good example.
Ghosting isn't an LCD problem, the early PSP models just happened to pack early/cheaper tech. Later models didn't have the issue. Also, Vita applies filtering to PS1/PSP games, they'll look better even on a Vita 2k.

Sounds like I'll be gettin a 2000 just for the new feel, but keep my two 1000s as backups or for specific games.

I hope this includes a NA launch as well.

That £129 ShopTo price is tempting, but I've never bought from there and am not really keen on doing so after the credit card debacle a while back. It's a shame Amazon isn't price matching this. I'd get one of the download bundles, but I plan to maker a US PSN account, so I wouldn't be able to use the PAL games unless I format the Vita each time to use a memory card with PAL items right...? Or is there a way around this.

According to a source at VG247, the PS Vita Slim (or whatever they're officially calling it) will be initially only available in black and will cost £189.
If the price is true, then it's a complete waste of everyone's time. For context, Play Asia is selling the damn things for sub-£150 (before P&P obviously, but still).

Yes, better LCD's can have better refresh rates. That is true, and I did not mean to imply otherwise.
Dithering point still stands. Also, I've compared PSP games on both models. It is night and day to me.

i have zero burn-in and have gamed on it regularly since launch. i don't really use the non-gaming apps like the internet browser though, so it may be something to think about if you'll be using them. i'm not sure though.

It would be cool if it was the Vita TV, but I'm really skeptical.
That's higher than the price for the OLED Vita. Perhaps they're going to try getting rid of old stock before they drop the price?
Isn't the current msrp in UK £169?
Yikes. Complete waste it is. What is the official price for the old Vita in uk? It's been around 140-160 on e.g. amazon uk so long so I didn't really think the official price could possibly be any higher than £180

In the vernacular of these shores, BOLLOCKS. I was thinking of getting one of those gun-metal grey ones.
Well officially they can only quote RRP, and it's up to retailers to charge what they like.
That's fairly normal, isn't it? Then once the old model stock is gone, they can have a new headline about dropping the price of the slim model.
£189? Ouch. Says "With a game" though. So £159 perhaps standalone if they offer that as an option...which they probably will.
Should be cheaper than a Vita 1000 really, but if it isnt, hopefully it'll mean Vita 1000's get a price cut so may pick up another for cheaper.
I hope the new Vita gets an OLED screen though, if not in this version, another version.

I think that's how it works. I don't have multiple accounts, so can't comment with anything definitive, but I do think you have to format the Vita every time. Can someone who has multiple accounts across regions chime in please?
Haha, what?
Go home Sony, you're drunk.
$313! You've gotta be kidding me.
Sigh, if that's true, then it's another opportunity wasted. It's a shame too, I was holding out for a 2k Vita, since I don't mind the LCD screen. If they announce it at this price, they'll get laughed out of their own breakfast. Might as well sit back and wait for an OLED to go on sale.

Love my white Vita, will the white ones come out in the US?
I might buy a second one, no idea why.. I just love the things!

How? I'd love a Slim 3DS and the OG Vita is freakin' huge/uncomfortable to hold.
Come on Sony, release this for under $200

I'd love to get my hands on one of these at some point to try it out. The weight reduction, more ergonomic feel, battery life improvements, and non-proprietary USB cable would be nice to have if the screen looks okay in person and it launches at a reasonable price...
Yea, the mini USB port and battery life makes it much more appealing to use it outside. Having the OLED be my home device while having a longer lasting Slim as a travel device is pretty appealing.
...Or maybe I just want two Vitas for the sake of it.
I kinda want two Vitas as well but I can't find any reason whatsoever to justify it.
Wait... technically I have two Vitas already because I have a Vita TV hooked up in the living room. So getting a slim would be my third OH GOD
Shoot, I want a Vita TV too. Noooooooooooo
Huge?
Vita 2k is slightly slimmer and lighter, sure, but the original isn't a PSP v1. THAT was one hell of a brick, and I don't think the difference between Vita versions will feel as huge as PSP vs. PSP Slim.

I think you'll have to get rid of one of them :|

That VG247 price has a game included. Although it's still... I mean, you could get an OG Vita, Tearaway, LBP and a 16GB memory card for like £140 at one point.
Also if it's only available in black, no deal. I want a white/blue model.

Haven't noticed any burn-in and I play my Vita a lot. It does however have typical OLED blotches like these which I think people are mistaking with burn-in.
That'd be enough to win me over.

If the 2000 is really launching at £190, and anyone really wants it, just hold out for the price cut. It's probably just to get the crazy early adopters spending full price and will drop in price pretty sharpish.
