LCD screen, no more OLED. Yuck.

Nevermind, found it on joystiq.com

Spongebob · Sep 9, 2013

1GB? lol

xclaw · Sep 9, 2013

64gb card!

Tom Nook Sawyer · Sep 9, 2013

No OLED, no deal. That was probably the best thing it had going for it.

More battery's nice though

Well that's a bummer.

So much info in OP. No need to clink on link.

Byronic Hero · Sep 9, 2013

Ehh. While its nice that its smaller, the size was never a problem for me.

NinjamicWZ · Sep 9, 2013

OMFG 64GB

Evershade · Sep 9, 2013

5" LCD (No OLED) and Micro USB to charge

TheBioLover · Sep 9, 2013

Goodnight sweet OLED.

At least it means you can play all games from a cart immediately. :/

Please announce a 64gb card.

FINALBOSS · Sep 9, 2013

I wonder if OLED doesn't translate well to English.

Sucks about the removal of the OLED but as long as it looks sexy.

Also the announced price was ~19000 yen which is like 190 USD.

Really? That sucks.

mrklaw · Sep 9, 2013

LCD isn't bad if it is a good quality one.

1GB memory is a good start for save games if you're using physical cards, but patches fuck that up very easily.

But isn't the price barely changed from the current Vita?

Thoraxes · Sep 9, 2013

Ew LCD.

Derrick01 · Sep 9, 2013

Yeah it's not worth it with no OLED. You can't do anything with 1gb space and an extra hour of battery life means you can get like 5 hours now. Whoopie.

Jeels · Sep 9, 2013

Wow, I was going to import this until I read no OLED. Eh, not a must buy anymore. :/ I'll stick with my current one.

Those colors are so nice too. What a shame.

Was the AMOLED in the original Vita a standard RGB grid? If so, this is a downgrade. I'm all for a lighter model with more battery life, though.

Jarmel · Sep 9, 2013

No OLED?

Not enough W's in the world.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

synce · Sep 9, 2013

Didn't the OLED have burn in issues? Don't care about removal if it gets me a thinner Vita with longer battery, built in memory too... Might actually buy a Vita finally

NingenJanai · Sep 9, 2013

goodbye sweet prince OLED, you were too good for this world.

Shtof · Sep 9, 2013

NOLED, am I right?

LiquidMetal14 · Sep 9, 2013

If they keep the resolution then I see nothing wrong with this.

BruiserBear · Sep 9, 2013

Weird.

Sandfox · Sep 9, 2013

Sucks for the people in the west who just bought one when the price drop hit.

chadskin · Sep 9, 2013

I feel a little cheated for being an early adopter.

Turbowaffles · Sep 9, 2013

Really wanted HDMI out.

Maybe we'll be able to stream Vita games to the big screen via the PS4?

KalBalboa · Sep 9, 2013

I wonder what the screen looks like in person.

64 Gig cards are great news, and it now supports Micro USB 2.

Eh, two years seems fine.

Pein · Sep 9, 2013

use the LCD tech thats in htc phones, that shit looks amazing.

timetokill · Sep 9, 2013

1gig?

Is that even enough for game patches?

How much cheaper is this model going to be?

Ochi · Sep 9, 2013

Sauce please.

That said it's hard to say if this would move more vita's. 1 GB is not a lot of space, heck some PS1 games have more than 1GB of content.

funkystudent · Sep 9, 2013

No video out.

The great GiantBomb Vita quicklook drought shall continue.

Yeah there's nothing wrong with it. It looks like the same res.

Napalm_Frank · Sep 9, 2013

Vita means life

ramoisdead · Sep 9, 2013

Well no reason to get this since it won't have no OLED. And with the 64 GB card announced, I'll definitely be keeping my Vita.

MagicWithEarvin · Sep 9, 2013

No HDMI out no buy

Hybrid897 · Sep 9, 2013

Oh was thinking of picking it up, but no OLED. No Thanks.

I'll grab the 64GB card when it hits 80ish though.

mullet2000 · Sep 9, 2013

Well the 1 GB is obviously so people can at least play physical games right out of the gate.

I wonder how much cheaper the redesign will be without the OLED screen. What is the difference in price in Japan?

Tiktaalik · Sep 9, 2013

I'm assuming the switch from OLED to LED is to improve the battery life? (In addition to price?)

Toki767 · Sep 9, 2013

I wonder what kind of LCD it is. If it's Super LCD3 like HTC's phones it could be really nice.

kuYuri · Sep 9, 2013

Hmmm, would have jumped on this new model, but news of LCD screen makes me rethink that...

it's probably how they improved battery life but disappointing nonetheless

Jotamide · Sep 9, 2013

Around the same price and no OLED?

Lol Sony.

By 1 hour they said on stream.

You shouldn't its going be the best iteration. 1GB of built in memory is nothing and LCD screen is a step backwards.
