I don't think so. I'm doing the same now, and already bought the Slim and selling the OLED.
Toadthemushroom gave a good analysis of the LCD in the Slim vs OLED. Spoiler
LCD wins

How far are you in Dungeon Travelers (2 i'm assuming?), I had to stop because it was getting progressively more difficult to min/max my characters. I'm on chapter 7 and needed to take a break. Amazing game, but it gets a bit grindy.

Cool. As much as I would be happy with otome (Psychedelica please!), I hope they pick up one of the straggler JRPG's for Vita or something.
Or Ukiyo no Roushi. Still waiting for that one.
It's Hero Must Die's time to shine!
Maybe Exile Election?
The Lost Child is a good shout. I've given up hope on Demon Gaze 2, although maybe with Babel finally out it's happening?

Thanks for remembering this!
I'd definitely recommend the 2000 model on battery life alone if you're going to be playing less visually intensive games. After three hours of Utawarerumono 2 yesterday and today, my battery life indicator has only just moved from showing full. And my Vita-2000 has three years old so some battery degradation has happened. The battery life is better for all games, but it's markedly better when playing less visually intensive titles like Danganronpa, Woah Dave etc.

I was planning on getting a Slim Vita to replace my OLED because the battery is beginning to go (and I can't find a good silicone case for it anywhere), then I remembered I'd lose access to my PS Mobile games.
Noooo. Guess that's that plan out the window then. At least I can replace the battery I guess.
Btw, not sure anyone is interested in this stuff, but Tekken 1; Tekken 2 and Ridge Racer (PSP) have been removed from EU PSN. You can still get Tekken 1 from the Namco Heritage Bundle:
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...ndle/cid=EP0700-NPEF00200_00-GNAMCOHERI000001
But otherwise this looks like more digital games being lost. Bummer.
I noticed the Rengoku (PSP) games are gone as well.

Thanks to Aksys' incompetence, I'm at a loss as to what to do about Xanadu. I could:
A) Wait for the EU release (not happening)
B) Import US physical and wait for it to arrive by which time it'll be out in EU potentially
C) Reformat one of my memory cards to my US account (hassle, and I want the thing physically)
D) Buy Valkyria Revolution on Friday instead (is this really what you want, Aksys)
Cheers for these marvelous options, Aksys.

If the PS blog is to be believed, the digital version should still come out this Friday.

It was my hope that there's a small chance this could happen. I'd double dip physical down the line, just please give EU the game on Friday.
I wonder how large the file size is, mind.
Should be around 2.4~ gb or so.

Just bought a metal cover for my OLED Vita. I have a silicone cover on it at the moment but it's distorted all out of shape and it's beginning to annoy me now. Hope this one is nice and my console can live out the rest of its life in it

2.4GB for JP version, so likely round about there, yep.

I'm in chapter 4. It's just annoying that you can easily beat everything in a dungeon, but once you get to the boss, it's like an instant party wipe....

I feel like there was a stealth game announcement in there. In the part where they're interviewing Wolfgame:
The latter one wasn't known, right? I believe it's this:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/549860/One_Night_Stand/
That was a good read. It's a fair reflection on how the industry sees Vita.

What game is in the header graphic of that article?
Looks like Plague Road to me.

Yeah, I was just about to edit my post after reading the article, since that was by one of the interviewees.
hmmm. that game looks really interesting to me, gonna have to check it out and see how it reviewed.
That post is always in the back of my mind anytime somebody asks the difference between the two, it should be stickied somewhere because its actually hard to find. And after getting my own Slim, I totally love it. I love that's its lighter and the console feels so great in the hand. The OLED feels more like a past era of Sony where they went for glossy blacks like the fat PS3 and is chunkier in general. Will be getting another Slim sometime down the line as a backup. I feel like they're going to be hard to come by after this year.
Yes the bosses in DT2 have huge difficulty spikes, but further in the game, the regular enemies are no slouches either and sometimes I forget to save which is a real bitch and lose progress.
It's time to play with the setup of your party if you're finding the bosses a bit difficult, I don't remember if you can have all five party members by Chapter 4, but the group I have is two fighters, two magic users and one maid. Don't be afraid to buy stacks of food/healing items, as they don't have any casting time versus healing from the mages.
Also if you're finding it hard in chapter 4, oh man i hate to tell you, it just keeps getting harder. It's not impossible, but I'm finding that i have to really optimize everything, weapons, armour, stats, skills. And if you level up incorrectly, it becomes a real grind because you need more experience but its takes longer and longer to get the experience points, so you really have to have some sort of plan on how you're going to level up your characters.
I've taken a break now as well, at least until i get a vita with my AU account back so I can continue my game, but yeah its a hard game! I really hope I can finish it one day - would be nice if there was a proper FAQ with boss walkthrough giving tips, going into every boss fight blind is kind of demoralising when they completely destroy you first time. I also wish there was a OT here, the game has some questionable sexual content but they might make up 1% of the game at most. The game itself is really great and deserves more discussion.

It's a new game for Vita, something that hasn't been released worldwide, too.

Not sure if this has been posted but apparently Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology was originally developed for Vita. However, things came to a halt when director Mitsuru Hirata had to go work on Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE. When the team restarted the project, they realized that 3DS market share was way bigger, therefore they decided to put the game on 3DS instead. Source is from an interview in the special artbook included in Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology Perfect Edition.

Well that's devastating. Although I find it difficult to believe that Atlus were working on Vita over 3DS with titles like this at any point, lol.

I was wondering what the purpose of remaking the game for the 3DS was. Now we know. I'm sure it'll be better in the west, but Japan wise they didn't gain anything by putting it on the 3DS.

I finished my review of Jak II on Vita, for anyone interested (I loved it, despite the performance issues):
https://kresnik258gaming.wordpress.com/2017/06/29/vita-jak-ii-renegade-review/
It's probably gonna be overshadowed by Tokyo Xanadu reviews today though. Read my review first!

Well my Slim arrived yesterday. Its a great looking console and I love the matt finish to the plastic BUT oh my, the screen is a country mile away from the OLED. This was the first time I'd seen them side-by-side in the flesh and I'm amazed how different they look. The default Vita background looks like a cobalt-blue on the OLED and a washed out cyan on the Slim. The colour temperature also seems to be a lot warmer. Is this the case on all slims or is it like the 3DS with varying temperatures dependant on the batch.
Oh and any have any UK gaf got their Broken age yet?

I might have bought it for the Vita, but I already have the DS version and see no point in a 3DS version. Same thing for the SMT game.

Yeah, I ended up hitting a wall at the Onsen boss because my party just wasn't good enough. I thought Dark Lord would be a good DPS class against bosses, when it's actually a mob cleaner. And I'm between respec levels, so whatever I do I'm stuck grinding for hours and hours, which I didn't have the patience for. It's a shame, because it was a good game.
DL can be great for bosses depending on the skills you have.

The disrespect but I'd buy the game on both consoles. I'm crazy like that. Well at least we're still getting Saga so thats nice. On a side note, I bought Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE yesterday on the Eshop. Fun little coincidence I guess.
Awesome, awesome to the max.

I invested heavily in Megaton Press, since that was apparently DL's "best skill", but it seems very situational and difficult to use consistently. And of fairly limited use in encounters with few enemies.
Yeah, Megaton Press is mostly for trash mobs. For bosses you'd need Geo Break, Raging Smash or Frost Slash. I went with FS only and didn't have a lot of issues.
You also need Berserk and Power Charge. Use both and then one of those three skils.

Guess which game Vita isn't getting~

We didn't really need confirmation of that one skipping Vita lol. Oh well. Will import again like I did with the first.
I wonder if the performance will be just as bad as in the first game.
Kresnik258

It's one of those things, it's bad (like Jak II which I've just reviewed) but it's never unplayable. I'm expecting NoA2 to be even worse since they've swapped the PS3 for Switch version this time (a platform they have less experience on), but I'm hoping it'll be alright like the first one.

I make a point of pre-ordering any of Bamco's Asian-English games because they seem to disappear pretty quickly.
I just got my Aqua Blue one, and there is a screen difference for sure from my OLED - but it's not too bad. Certainly worth it for the better form factor and battery. Just put the OLED away and youll quickly forget the minor difference.

I'm a OLED fan but I have both versions and play with the Slim once in a while a few games. The difference is big if you are used to the OLED screen, but it's totally fine once you play a bit with it. The Slim is just so nice and comfy, I'm wondering myself why I'm always returning to my OLED one. I think I love them both, just for different reasons.
If only the slim had the OLED screen...
