Grabbed a OG Vita last week. Maybe I should have waited....
I love my Japanese imported OLED. But when it gets dark, that burn in is really noticeable :/
Any chance it is the Vita TV?
What? They still have to offer stock up for pre-order, no matter how relatively poor said product is doing. Ridiculous.
That's not a good example.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.
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.

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.
That £129 ShopTo price is tempting, but I've never bought from there and am not really keen on doing so after the credit card debacle a while back. It's a shame Amazon isn't price matching this. I'd get one of the download bundles, but I plan to maker a US PSN account, so I wouldn't be able to use the PAL games unless I format the Vita each time to use a memory card with PAL items right...? Or is there a way around this.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.
According to a source at VG247, the PS Vita Slim (or whatever they're officially calling it) will be initially only available in black and will cost £189.
If the price is true, then it's a complete waste of everyone's time.
That's not a good example.
Ghosting isn't an LCD problem, the early PSP models just happened to pack early/cheaper tech. Later models didn't have the issue. Also, Vita applies filtering to PS1/PSP games, they'll look better even on a Vita 2k.

If the price is true, then it's a complete waste of everyone's time. For context, Play Asia is selling the damn things for sub-£150 (before P&P obviously, but still).

How bad is the burn in for OLED model?

Yikes. Complete waste it is. What is the official price for the old Vita in uk? It's been around 140-160 on e.g. amazon uk so long so I didn't really think the official price could possibly be any higher than £180
That's higher than the price for the OLED Vita. Perhaps they're going to try getting rid of old stock before they drop the price?

Slim handheld it's a bit of a funny concept.
I'd love to get my hands on one of these at some point to try it out. The weight reduction, more ergonomic feel, battery life improvements, and non-proprietary USB cable would be nice to have if the screen looks okay in person and it launches at a reasonable price...
Yea, the mini USB port and battery life makes it much more appealing to use it outside. Having the OLED be my home device while having a longer lasting Slim as a travel device is pretty appealing.
...Or maybe I just want two Vitas for the sake of it.
I kinda want two Vitas as well but I can't find any reason whatsoever to justify it.
Wait... technically I have two Vitas already because I have a Vita TV hooked up in the living room. So getting a slim would be my third OH GOD
Huge?How? I'd love a Slim 3DS and the OG Vita is freakin' huge/uncomfortable to hold.

If they're smart, they'll offer a limited run color to push 1k owners over the fence and upgrade.
