That's...actually a pretty great way to look at it. I'm a hoarder though, I love having all the games downloaded and available to play a moment's notice.
Yep, the memory card prices are the only reason I haven't been sell any of my friends on the Vita. They see the prices and are instantly put off. They love the handheld and the games, the amount they play mine when they come over is a testament to that, but those damn memory card prices are really holding it back.

SCEA hates Vita. It is known. At least the Euro branch would give it the time of day at Gamescom and acknowledge its existence.
For that reason, I don't think SCEE will be dumb enough to hold an event for this if it were just a hardware re-reveal. They've stealth launched slimmer PS3 models before without fanfare, so I'm still guessing there will be something more at this event - whether first looks at announced software or Vita TV.

This is all before June (aside from Monpiece which is June 30th). Naturally there are a million indie games coming as well. I believe Akiba's Trip 2 and Senran Kagura were hinted as well...
Not if your crafty like me. Simply delete the ps+ games when your finished with them. You can always re download them later if you feel like playing it again.
I have ps+ why is everyone feeling bad for me lol. To answer the other question the last game I bought was Ys memories of celceta. Currently want to get muramasa and maybe dragons crown.

The Vita itself, mostly. I'm not spending another $200 after spending that a little over a year ago.
He meant games made by western developers, which is basically barren.

I'll put imaginary money on Minecraft. The fact they could potentially have an actual portable version of MC (not that Pocket Edition bullshit) could be pretty huge if they marketed it right.

No worries. I'm giving serious thought to buying a spare OLED. I've actually been thinking about it for a while, but out it on the back-burner as I figured they wouldn't announce the NOLED/2k over here until later in the year.
I sometimes wish I was like this. I'm a hoarder though, I love having as many games as possible available to play straight away.

yes but be sure to back up your saves
don't make my mistake :/
figured having ps+ my vita would do that for me. not the case-you have to manually select the feature in settings FIRST
been smooth sailing so far-and 2014 looks great for vita-
I know what you mean. I would love that but I can't bring myself to pay the ridiculous price they want for a mere 32 gb. You can get a 1 tb hard drive for the cost of a vita 32 gb lol.
I've been looking into a Vita, but will be fencesitting until a pricedrop.
Looked up some info on screen comparison but in the end it won't really matter that much if I get the newer version. I played on my friends Vita for like 20 minutes so I couldn't tell the difference anyway.

Pick up the OLED's while you can. LCD probably won't be that bad, but the OLED is nice.

It kind of amazes me that they would bother taking pre-orders on a system that sells so poorly.
Are they expecting them to sell out or are they trying to gauge interest before placing stock orders?

It really is crazy that Sony still haven't addressed the memory card price issue.
I was lucky enough to grab a 32gb when Sainsbury had them for £41. Hasn't been on sale since, which is rather annoying.

What? They still have to offer stock up for pre-order, no matter how relatively poor said product is doing. Ridiculous.

No one can take your OLED charms away from me.

What is the advantage to not taking them?

Already got my super-kawaii blue/white Vita2k. Please say something about 64GB cards though, thanks Sony.
Even NOA kinda drags behind Japan on released other colored systems (never got that sweet tangerine XL ): ), although I guess different markets and all that. Not really expecting them to have anything except black or white but good luck to you, brethren.

Ah. Well not counting indies, I can only think of 2 or 3 things. But it's like that with 3DS as well. Western devs stopped caring about handhelds a while ago.

Any chance it is the Vita TV?

Deciding between the white and black one....
Pre-order numbers help judge how much stock to order for sale at launch, yes.

That's pretty much impossible to do. People have their preferences, and they're firmly entrenched when it comes to OLED vs. LCD.
For me, the 2000 improves nearly everything about the Vita: back touch panel is better, lighter, thinner, Micro USB port, better battery, cool colors.
The screen, however, is a downgrade to me for a few reasons. I've compared both side-by-side, and the differences were immediately apparent: blacks take the biggest hit, but colors in general, while truer, wash out the vibrancy of some games. LCD also creates a sharper image, which is normally great, but for some titles, it means imperfections (jaggies and such), especially in PSP/PS1 and non-native resolution games, stand out more. The OLED screen, on the other hand, softens them, thanks to the true blacks/pixels turning completely off when not in use.
For example, Dracula X Chronicles is a PSP game that has tons of jaggies and dithering, even running on a PSP. On an OLED Vita, the edges of the models are softer, ghosting is almost non-existent (it was an issue on my PSP), and the dithering isn't as pronounced, because in the parts of the screen where it's black, you don't see it. The game went from pretty ugly to acceptable, thanks to OLED.
Of course, it all depends on the game, and having moved from AMOLED to LCD on my smartphone, over time, it doesn't really matter. Your eyes will adjust, and you won't notice unless you have them side by side.

I'm hoping this means there's a firesale on the older one...may finally be tempted to pick one up. Need to experience this OLED hype...though I'm keeping my expectations in check. When PSP was released, people gushed about the screen, but when I bought it at shortly after launch I didn't think much of it.

Is the new screen really that much of a downgrade? I Love the OLED screen on my Vita, but I really like the specifications of the new one. Maybe I'll just buy one anyways and the OLED for home use, and the LCD for on the go. Can my PSN account be on two Vitas?

Would prefer more colours over a potential slim (without an OLED?). Though I like my white original one.

While not firesale prices, the OLED with a 16gb and Tearaway.LBP has been available for as low as £140 over the past few months.
The standalone is available is £129 brand new from shopto, which isn't as good as the Tearaway bundle, but it's still a good price.

The irrational allure of a hardware update I don't even need... I love the OLED screen, my hands have gotten used to the 1000 and I find it comfortable, I don't mind charging it every few days, and yet I still want one of these new ones. Ugh.
