I'm starting to think this isn't the new Japan model. Otherwise why hold an event? We have already seen it.
you've seen it
the general public (who they are trying to capture with net new sales) has likely not

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.
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.
If they're smart, they'll offer a limited run color to push 1k owners over the fence and upgrade.
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.
FUCK THAT. £150 fucking idiots.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).
Where does this notion that the 2000 screen is crap come from? It might not be OLED but it is still really crisp and has great colours. I have no complaints at all about mine.

It's not terrible, but it's no OLED. Check the clear side by side comparisons here:

I've seen both side by side in the flesh. While there is a difference, the margin is overplayed. I just saw all the "before its too late" posts, which to me are a little unfair and come with a large dose of internet hyperbole.
I got this model cause I play my vita SO much I really wanted the comfort / battery improvements, and I am very happy about the switch! I have a feeling that 90% of the people that talk shit on the lack of OLED have never seen the new screen
Besides the screen I like all of the improvements the 2k vita has made but I do hope Sony surprises us with a different model.
720p screen?
Better sticks. Concave or at least like PS4's sticks?
Better resistance on sticks?
Better R1 and L1 buttons?
Better wifi? (Of all my mobile electronics my vita always has the weakest signal. Always)
Enhanced somehow for better remote play?
This would push me over the edge immediately.
Just this morning I got my Vita 2000 in white / lime green in the mail. I upgraded from a vita 1000 and fully sold my old one to a friend.
I am SO happy with it. I was a bit weary about the screen, but it is not even worth the tiniest bit of worry really. It is truly a best in class LCD and the colors feel like they jump out at me just as much as the OLED. The difference in the screen is sooo marginal compared to the weight / size reduction and the slightly more ergonomic feel.
I can a tiny bit notice the lack of the true blacks OLED provides, but it is almost unnoticeable.

Its a bit hard judging the screen based off photographs...Just this morning I got my Vita 2000 in white / lime green in the mail. I upgraded from a vita 1000 and fully sold my old one to a friend.

Ok one last question lol
To those who have the 2k model, is it possible to lower the brightness much more than the OLED model?
I ask this cause I game at night in bed next to my wife and the OLED vita is STILL way too bright even on the lowest possible setting.
Mine has the exact same problem. The games also have a fuzzy look to them (especially Killzone Mercenary). Does yours also have that fuzzy look to it?
I'm probably gonna send it in to Sony for a replacement, because it's very bothersome and kills the experience for me.
SOMEONE ANSWER THIS MAN'S QUESTION FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
(We have the same wife that hates bright lights at night)
Just spit out my drink!!!!This thread just got interesting..
I've noticed both of the above on my OLED Vita. The blotches aren't as bad as that photo and the lines are noticeable sometimes too.
Is it worth trying to return it to ShopTo? I got it in a PS4 + Vita bundle for Christmas so I don't know if I can be bothered with the hassle...
Is this common with the Vita?
I think I have that as well. Sometimes I think it's finger grease on the screen but I agree and would describe it as having a bit of a blurry look.Mine has the exact same problem. The games also have a fuzzy look to them (especially Killzone Mercenary). Does yours also have that fuzzy look to it?
