Curious, does OLED have a similar burn in rate as Plasmas?

Correct. I've only messed with an OG Vita in Gamestop, but even under the store's lighting the screen seems a bit dim. This was my main concern as I like to play portable games on the bus.
And hey #teamOLED (why are we using hashtags?) at least when your blue diodes go out in 20 years you'll still have that blue PS button shining in your face to make up for the warmer picture you'll be having! Teehee!! Kidding
They just did a price drop, this will most likely cost the same and the old Vita slowly fizzled out.
Wiki:
"OLED is even more susceptible to burn-in than plasma."
Another con:
"In addition, the wide variation in luminance degradation with OLED [1] will cause noticeable color drift over time (where one of the red-green-blue colors becomes more prominent)"
And a poster in the Vita game thread had pictures to prove this. His old vita had red/orange tint.

Holy shit... and I thought I was wary about ever wanting plasma TVs haha.

Thanks to both of you for answering. I think I'm willing to sacrifice some color for being able to play when I travel.
But what is this about blue diodes going out?
Well the new one is launching roughly $100 U.S. dollars (converted) cheaper than the current model in Japan.

Whaaa?? I don't think so. I read like 18900 yen or about $190 USD

The original was about $300 in Japan.

They still cost about $300 in Japan.

Ohh at launch.
Thanks for the link. I guess there has to be some trade off for the more "vibrant" and "deeper" colors in the use of this kind of screen.
I never noticed that new model's PS button isn't lit up when playing. This and what seem to be improved select and start buttons unquestionably confirm 2000's superiority. Now if only they could fix the sticks by making them bigger, concave and placing them asymmetrically...Correct.

The orignal price for PSV in Japan was 24,980 [wifi] (~250 USD) and the 3G was 30,000 (~300 USD) and they did the price drop earlier this year to 19,980 (for both versions) (~200 USD)
The current price goes for about $300 in Japan right now according to what I've been reading
Not according to what I am looking at. Even Play Asia Vita's go for $300. This could always be wrong but I consider cnet a pretty valid source.
The XL screens are not worse as far as I'm aware. The PPI is lower but that is a subjective thing - if you don't hold the XL as close to your face it looks just as good.
your looking at the wrong places. Play Asia marks up.
Amazon Japan
19,071 yen (~190USD) [3G]
HMV Japan
19,980 yen (~200 USD) [3G]
The OLED is going to offer deeper blacks and a higher contrast...there is nothing the LCD screen can do to compensate for that...however that's not to say the OLED offers the most natural colors in the world...they tend to be WAY overly saturated...
But it just so happens that humans tend to be drawn to (and like) overly saturated colors

It hasn't been announced for the west yet right?
Ahh you're right. Guess I still have enough time to decide then. I'm a fan of LED/LCD's brightness, but I've read so much praise for the OLED screen that I want to be able to get it if I decide to go with it.
I plan to play this mostly at night in my apartment so screen reflections shouldn't be a problem.
why are you refusing to see the first pic?

I was offering the alternative argument. Obviously I've seen the first pic, my point was that so many people were ignoring the other one. I have already mentioned the first pic:

Honestly, white, yellow or olive green sound good. Really do wish there was an orange color.

Yeah, a bright orange would be rad.

I'd assume they have a shit tonne of stock of the old ones to sell through elsewhere before launching a new model
I just bought myself an OLED Vita, seeing these screenshots it's maybe not as much of an issue as I originally thought from the previous ones but I still think the OLED one looks better, so I'm sticking by my purchase. Wikipedia says you have to use an OLED screen for 5 years at 8 hours a day for it to burn out, any truth to that?

Just went ahead and pulled the trigger. Buying an OLED Vita was the only way I was going to relieve my anxiety.
Yes, haven't noticed much change in the brightness or color of my phone's screen over time.
Burn-in is another story. Try to avoid displaying fixed screen elements for extended periods of time.
My fiancee's that way also. She'll happily play Spyro the Dragon on our 1080p TV, but all I can focus on are the polygons and the textures.

Eh, not really bothersome to me. I still play some PS1 games on my TV and the negative impact is next to nil. I'd assume it's sheer convenience and the ability to use a traditional controller, as the Vita cramps my hands.
Bring on the sub HD!

Good luck if you think you'll get 6 years out of an oled screen and 12??? What are you smoking
So it's settled. OLED it is for me.
No doubt. The same game that was being shown on the OP looks very washed out on the LCD screen in comparison to the OLED screen.

The size of the current one doesn't bother me at all and the LED is quite noticeably worse. Get the OLED version while you still can.
My Galaxy Note (SAMOLED display) is 1 year and 10 months old and it's easy to see the color degradation. Just pull up a full-screen image and compare the status bar area to the rest of the screen. The status bar area (which stays largely black most of the time) still looks nice, but the rest of the display has a "dirty" look to it due to use.
That said, I'm still getting an OLED Vita anyway just to experience it for a few years. But I fully expect to need to replace it in 3 or 4 years.
That wasn't the exchange rate that the Vita launch. Was only getting around 77 yen per dollar during that time. Around $307 USD with conversion rate.
So yeah, the price was the same in Japan as you're quoting, but converted it seemed more expensive back then than that same price does now. So people would spout a USD converted price for Japan which was only reflective of our shitty dollar rate back then.

It is ridiculous, indeed.
Can you please create a post about this? I mean, it would be good to clarify what that "39 countries on launch" REALLY means.
Oh, and with Xbox One is the same shit http://n4g.com/news/1277989/xbox-one-will-come-to-brazil-in-november-for-1-100-usd (1100 usd on Brazil)
thanks in advance!
