PS Vita PCH-2000 (slim) coming to NA this Spring bundled w/ Borderlands 2 - $199
- Thread starter Takao
- Start date
Nexus 4 screen contrast is really nice. Except for in total darkness by my bed the blacks are pretty much pitch black. I find IPS to be a bit over rated because they tend to have a worse contrast ratio.
Such a shame that Europe and probably the US as well won't be getting the colors. I don't know why people are so boring here and only choosing black/grey/white smartphones/tablets/cars... Guess I'll have to import my Vita 2000
Compared to other hobbies it's really cheap. Even gaming wise it's just four new games...

Slim Vita + Borderlands 2 + all dlc + 8GB memory Card seems like a goddamn excellent deal to me.

Oh so a 8gb too? Hmmmmmm I wonder if the could get the stock vita down to 170. BL 2 is like 40$ by itself and the 8gb is like 25$.

It doesn't have all the DLC guys....

Well I at least want it to sell well enough to warrant a Kingdom Hearts I/II port. People are all for original games, but I'd honestly prefer that to a new game that was the quality of 3D... eugh.
That's the spirit! Support for the Vita could die right now (or when I got it this summer) and I'd still have too many games to play ^^
I rather get the 1000 and pay for a shitty-priced memory card than wait to get an inferior revision for $200 + a 2012 game.

Decent deal with the game and the 8 gig card. I'll be holding out for this and keeping out an eye for OLED fire sales in the meantime. Shame we'll never get any of the nice colors that Japan got.

I DO NOT understand why they are doing black only, is it because retailers don't want to have a lot of SKUs?

I'm starting the #Vita2000FullRainbowForNorthAmericaPleaseSeriouslySonyCmon to convince Sony to release all the various Vita 2000 colors in North America. Please tweet this thousands of times a day. Thank you.
It has all the major expansions and the two new character classes. That is good enough for me. That, and I think those head hunter packs were nothing to write home about.

Tiny Tina's Assault is approximately the best piece of DLC released for anything ever.
$199.99 isn't bad for the system, an 8GB card, and a game that will no doubt retail for $30-$40.
Ideally, they'll do a few of these bundles, not just the Borderlands 2 one.
I haven't played BL2, however I already own a Vita. It's tempting to buy a second one, though, but I'm getting a 3DS more than likely this weekend, and an extra Vita, while awesome, won't really do much for me.
I think this is a pretty great starter package regardless. Bolster it with PS+, and manage space on the 8GB until you can grab a larger memory card. I had an 8GB card for about 6 months until I upgraded to a 32GB.

Cheaper to only manufacture one color.

a fucking voucher? Damn it Sony.
That's what I did. It isn't really an inferior revision due to more responsive top buttons and lighter weight but I prefer the OLED screen and all of its little quirks over the LCD on the 2000. Both are solid versions and I hope this gets more people on the VITA bandwagon.
Probably. At the rate Vitas have been selling, each store probably sells no more than 1 or 2 Vitas per month.

if I ever have to get another Vita I'll get an OLED model. the whacky colors is the only appealing part of the 2K.

Not worried about OLED. But an 8GB card AND the game is the downloadable version? Gross.
I'm kind of wondering if the game + DLC can fit on a card. I guess we'll find out when we see the size of the download, and whether or not the retail release includes the DLC.

It's missing two whole expansions, including the AMAZING one based around Tiny Tina!

So, how many hours can you sink into this? Hundreds? Also, I wonder if the Vita version will have online play... may finally get a chance to use Party Chat!

only the screen is inferior and only in some ways. The ergonomics, weight, and battery are all superior

Also missing Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. Are those the only two expansion packs missing? I wonder/hope if they'll be purchasable.

How long has it been confirmed that this BL2 port was actually in the works, it hasn't been that long has it? And this will be out in spring? Dunno if that bodes well or badly for it. Either way the bundle looks like a great deal, can't wait.

What size is the game download?
The black Vitas are beautiful but why manufacture all those glorious colored models to have them constrained to Japan? I want the white and blue one! I know how you feel. If I were in charge at Sony and retailers didn't want multiple SKUs I would just sell the other models from the Sony store.
I tweeted @Playstation to let them know I wanted the other Vita slim models. It might not mean anything but if they pay attention to their fans perhaps it will catch someone's eye in management.
Yep, says so in the blog article. Also has cross-save with the PS3 version.

Man Vita 2000 is cheap looking.

My bad. I missed those two. That sucks.
Hopefully they add those packs to the PS Store for purchase.
I laughed way too hard at this.
I would wager that the DLC is a download token in even the retail version of the game.

I thought so too at first but I think it looks better in person and it feels really solid

Well for me the 2000's advantages are not enought to outweight the OLED on the 1000.
So yeah, I'm getting it in two weeks hopefully.
Thank the heavens! Going to trophy hunt!
Its not cheap when you take it in hand. Its a well made console, much better than PSP v2000.
