Recently I bought a brand new PS Vita for my grandson in offer for 99 Euro, in bundle with the physical game MotoGP 13.
Those memory card prices are absurd.
Lol. If that's true and not doing what they said about the PS4 meeting, I wouldn't have bothered going to the event if I was the press.
I love the Vita, but surely no-one at Sony is thinking that all the UK market needs to get bought in is a re-designed machine and a rumoured RRP that's higher than most bundles you can find on the 1000?
That's the low point of OLEDs. When you have a fairly bright lit screen with a lot of details they can look way better. It's really more the pros of OLED generally outweigh the negatives to many people, and certainly that OLED's way nicer than the PSP and 3DS LCDs. I'm just not sure it's better than, say, the LCDs of even TN iOS displays, nevermind IPS ones. If I had to pick between iPhone 4 quality screens or Vita OLED I may pick iPhone 4 over the OLED.
It's also zoomed in, that screen probably looks better from a distance as intended.
£189?
I bought an OLED model with Tearaway, LBP, and a memory card for £159 just a couple of weeks ago. That wasn't a special price either.
Sigh, Sony. Sigh.

My OLED screen looks nothing like that.
Yup, got the same deal with FIFA thrown in on Teraways release day. Some of these rumours must be off the mark, or Sony are really out of touch with the market Vita-wise.

It is impossible to like the old OLED Vita compared to the new LCD Vita, he said so. The new Vita is superior, you are just a hater. /rolleye
Neither does mine.
I think if everything was better on the new vita, they could get away with it, but with an inferior screen, just seems harder to justify to me personally. Usually right to expect newer versions to be more expensive, hell, I remember Game having a "deal" to trade your 3DS XL in and you get a 2DS for £9.99...a Despite the 2DS being inferior, just it was new and that was their justification. I would expect money BACK trading a 3DS XL.
Also my vita doesn't have any screen issues either. Just black splotches when the screen is all black, but I hear that's common/supposed to be like that for OLED. Isn't noticeable ingame.

Ah, ok. Thanks. Guess it's not worth the hassle then, especially as there's no guarantee that the replacement I get will be better.
Yeah, I think most places are treating this as a non-event and not bothering to liveblog or anything. Can't say I blame them if it is just the slim Vita.

Wait a second, do you even know what "flush" means?
The screen IS flush with the system. It's not raised, and there's no "bezel". It's flush and even with the rest of the plastic.
Whatever dude. To you, it looks like a cheap knock-off. To a lot of other people in a different thread who own the 2000, it's fantastic in terms of build quality and shape/form factor. Opinions.
Yea, just seems odd to have nothing, even the invitation article on ign hasn't been updated, if it was as simple as vita slim, surely we'd have a quick 'vita 2000 £price date tweet.
If it's just the PSV Slim though and it's a long-ish event, they're probably still getting through sales presentations. Wouldn't be shocked if some PS4 numbers are being regurgitated again right now.
I got the PS VITA 2000 on craigslist in LIKE NEW condition for $110, what a generous guy. In any case, I am in love with the new Vita, I cannot hold the old vita and find it comfortable to use extensively or even use it entirely anymore. I just love how comfy and how much more grip I get with the new vita, my fingers rest on a more circular back than the old small oval shaped. I can see why people find the screen to be crappy, but for that minor sacrifice for a more lightweight and sexier device I could care less for that and just love using it!
SIDE NOTE!: My prediction for tomorrow's new Vita announcement will be this: The devices price point will be between either $180-$199. And will be available EU and NA February 22, why? That is the 3rd year anniversay of the PS VITA's release date, AND it is also the day JP gets the PS4. It makes so much sense to me.

Yep, opinions. The same way people can prefer the 1000 without them being misguided or misinformed
No colours available, no OLED and more expensive than what I paid for my 1000 means it's definitely a no-go for me. I was half considering grabbing the Lime Green one as a backup device and to use American or Japanese PSN on but this is a deal breaker.
The EU announcement is going on as we speak.

They're not offering the different colours?
Yeah, that would be a big deal. I've got the Khaki/Black and I can't imagine not having the option for it. So slick looking.
A solid black Vita 2000 definitely isn't as appealing.
Definitely likely, though you'd think ps4 numbers would be tweeted, surely something, it's the complete lack I find odd.

So explain the difference in the screen, what would you prefer to call it? Because it looks pretty damned different than the original Vita. I'm looking at my Vita right now and it doesn't have that edged looked around the screen.
I know right...
Yeah, rumour mill is saying there will probably only be black available, at least on launch. It wouldn't surprise me if it stayed that way though. Coming from the 3DS where Japan gets all those cool colours that never make it anywhere else. I can see maybe the White one coming out as well though.
Perhaps they're under some sort of NDA until the end of the event?

Isn't it £112 in Japan?

The LCD screen has an outline to it, but it's not raised above the plastic body. It's flush and even with the rest of the plastic.
I don't know how else to describe it.
And for my money, and my personal preference, yes, the Vita 2000 is superior. And a lot of haters were converts in the other thread I was talking about.
Generally, the people who have seen/had both tend to side with the 2000. Not everyone, but a lot more than you'd think.
But whatever, cheap knock-off, garbage screen, etc. Opinions. To you, I paid for a cheap looking/feeling downgrade. To me, it's nothing of the sort.
Us westerners don't like colour and love our drab, black and white existence.
Also, I found something from the CVG Twitter, so it is actually happening and not be cancelled on the sly.
SALES GRAPHS!!!!!!!111!one!!
Graphs now we're talking.

Something like that, I was looking at importing and I think it was £140 delivered to uk with a decent memory card.
Neat starting/started.
I don't think the 2000 looks "cheap" really. Just... I feel I'm getting an inferior product in terms of the screen. Everything which is better really just simply benefits me using it on the go, which I don't really. Very rarely. We'll see what happens anyway...

My 3DS must be a cheap knock off, garbage screen.

I wasn't insinuating that. I have a 3DS XL. I like it just fine.

Do you build a fort out of them
Yeah, that's been knocking about for a while at that price without the starter kit. Just be aware that most of the games are the PSP ones and not Vita versions of LBP and Wipeout.
