At least we've got confirmation that Borderlands 2 Vita is the GotY edition. Cross save is a nice touch.
No.

I agree but SCEA has proven themselves to be fairly incompetent in handling the Vita thus far. I wouldn't hold my breath.
I think SCEA's issue is that they don't care about the kid audience.
That's how Sony makes their money so I doubt we'll see that drop.
Time to save up money and buy an OLED.
It's debatable, for me it is.
I'm still seriously holding out hope that the UK Slim release was purely because some retailers were running low on stock and as OLED will have been discontinued, the only way they could replenish stocks was to launch unintentionally early.
Hopefully once a full EU launch happens, it'll be accompanied with a price drop/decent bundle.

Which is hilarious considering there are barely any original Vita games coming out from western studios anyways. Japan's driving original development and the two games the UK put out were unfortunately flops. And Tearaway was made with a skeleton crew anyways.
If you look at them side by side: The colors pop less and the blacks aren't as deep on the LCD screen. However, in motion, there is less bleeding from frame to frame that occasionally is an issue with the OLED in my opinion.
Its a trade off, and obviously the cheaper screen, however its still remarkably great looking. Most people who bash it on this site haven't seen it in person I think.

Wow, not bad at all. Borderlands 2 bundle is a start... one of the first open world title for the Vita, right? They need a Minecraft bundle though. And they need to somehow advertise it's proper, cavey Minecraft.

The vita version of Borderlands 2 could be a trading card game for all we know.
When are we gonna see some footage of this thing?

A card game that includes cross-save with the PS3 version as well as all the DLC packs? At least try to read the article.

It's pretty clear it's the full game if you read the post, but yeah - some footage would be nice.
Surprised at people whining about the price on this - $199 seems dirt cheap to me given the pack-in. That said, I'm in AU where we routinely get screwed on pricing so anything would seem reasonable in comparison

Oh lighten up. I'm just saying we haven't seen any footage of this, it's obviously not going to be a trading card game, it's one of those joke things people used to enjoy.
I believe anyone with this attitude has not spent any time with the 2000 in person. After playing probably 1000s of hours on my VITA 1000 and now 50+ hours on my new vita 2000 import, I can tell you the color / motion bleeding on the OLED ( super apparent mostly in really colorful games like Persona 4 Golden ) is not at all there on the LCD screen.
Sure the colors don't pop quite as much and blacks aren't as stupid deep. I wont argue with you there. But the actual difference is quite negligible in my opinion and fixing the bleeding is a great pro.
Some other pros: much more room to hold the thing on the back side, and MUCH improved L/R triggers.

yup, or look like absolute shit. Unreal is terrible on vita, and if MK/Injustice/Dr. who look like shit, I can't imagine what BL2 is going to look like. I think it'll be sub native with the fancy shader completely missing.
Gravity Rush is also pretty open world.

The best game persona 4 golden supports it.

That typically contain humor!
Anyway, quite looking forward to this. Never made it all the way through the original BL.

I'd buy a 1000 just for Spelunky. $100 or bust!

I want to put CEF on it and use it for PSP games.
But the better PPSSPP gets, the less I'm interested in Vita TV. If it had full compatibility with Vita games then I'd prefer it to a normal Vita but it doesn't, so bleh.

I've been in the market for a Vita lately but I've been comparing prices with a minimum 32GB card and it's not the price I want to pay. Unless it were Ys or something I'd rather have a decent storage pack-in for that price.
You're misinformed. The PS Vita Slim has the same Recommended Retail Price in the UK, as the normal PS Vita.
Sony never increased the price.

If they don't release all the different colors I'll be pretty pissed.

$200 isn't crazy to me, plus a game with that. I paid $180 for my 3DS XL and love it, so paying almost the same for better hardware seems worth it.
But I'll wait until Black Friday for better price and bundles because I'm in no rush
Any word on what colors are coming??

True, but I'm a rebel don't box me in with your 'typical' framework.
I never got the impression that anyone hated the Vita (it's a fine device). It's just that nobody is buying it (for whatever reason), which fuels the vicious cycle of no games and etc...
Now, to be fair, there are games for the Vita. They're just not what I want (besides P4G, which I already have in vanilla P4).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0jSRjHxETQ Video just went up, has some game footage for a few games including BL2.
People just want PS4 remote play into another room of their house on a big TV.

It has all the Borderlands 2 DLC. Day 1 for me then.

Yeah I guess, I think for us Aussies an entry price of $199 seems absurdly low (well for me at least). Haha. Already easily in impulse-buy territory.
Just saw the 64Gb card at superUFO is $84 US. Sold!
There are plenty of reasons. It just seems Sony can't see any of them.
Releasing yet another bundle for the same price point your other bundles don't move at is insanity.
