If the rumored price is really that high then they might as well not even bother. The hardcore will stick with the OLEDs they already bought a year~ ago and whoever they want to buy this new model won't due to price!

LAA · Jan 30, 2014

I'm surprised the PS4 is only 1.5:1.0 with X1. I guess 0.5 is a lot though in the grand scale of things.

Damn at £140 for OG Vita with all that. Please have a cheaper vita without the games... I don't need them, ha ha.

EDIT: Ha ha a Vita game announcement already? You sure were right PSBlog... Shame I'm bothered about Invisimals, may help kids get on the system though.

Invizimals is getting two new games on PS Vita, aiming at a younger audience.

takao is satisfied

I wonder how they are going to aim at a younger audience? Cuter characters?

Software is 3:1 though, noted in the briefing.

Well Pets also coming

Also Pets and Lego Movie Games coming to Vita.

Well, I bought a OLED 3g this week and the screen looks good. Its very very bright and the white on the oled makes the white on my ipad and note 2 look more yellowish/blueish.

So far so good, but then it makes my hand hurt while trying to play games on it.
So I can really only play for 30minutes a go.
If the new one feels better then I would have gotten it instead.

Batterytime is not a problem since i never play for that long, but then the new one is better since it has usb-connector if you need to charge it at work or in your car.
The old one you need to have your specialcable with you.

Another thing with the new model
Lack of 3g these days isnt a problem with free wifi hotspots or just share network with your mobile.

The way the tweet read and the timing, I thought it was in the Vita briefing, but it's just Play.coms own results when I clicked the link

Is it the Vita 2000 or something completly new?

RIP OLED...

Can someone explain to me the whole 1000/2000 thing? I live in the netherlands and all the ads for psvita just advertise the 'PSVITA'

I went to the sony support site and checked out how to identify which one you have and they list model numbers starting with PCH. However all the local suppliers seem to only list SKU codes. Confused. Are the 2000 series even available in europe?

killercow · Jan 30, 2014

Slim PS Vita launching next Friday, Feb 7th for £180.

Bwhahahaha

1000 is the model currently for sale

2000 is a new model announced this second with no OLED screen but slimmer design.

£180?!?! UGGHGHG

hohoXD123 · Jan 30, 2014

£180...congrats Sony, you dun fucked up.

Mpl90 · Jan 30, 2014

180£?

...Are they crazy?

8 X 11 Printer Paper · Jan 30, 2014

Oh Sony...

Sir_Crocodile · Jan 30, 2014

That's about £80 too high given the cost of the V1K.

Hellraider · Jan 30, 2014

£180
What the fuck Sony. What the fuck.

Finalizer · Jan 30, 2014

Palm, meet face.

Wow so price was true, didn't want to believe that.
£180...

Well if they re-included the OLED perhaps, if not, not really happy with that sadly.

Zhao_Yun · Jan 30, 2014

Sony really wants the Vita to die, huh?

Jockel · Jan 30, 2014

Good, I was on the edge of importing one anyways.

Hasney · Jan 30, 2014

I can't imagine the thinking here. You can find the 1000 everywhere for £150, a memory card and some games and it's still not selling, so they think people have just been crying out for a slimmer model so much they'll pay a premium for it? It just seems insane that someone thought this was a good idea.

Bradach · Jan 30, 2014

i though the current price was less than that? why release a revised version of hardware at a higher price?

Musiol · Jan 30, 2014

So for now - no new games, higher price of newer model. Sony really want to kill Vita outside Japan.

Skeff · Jan 30, 2014

Lol £180 *buys oled for £140 with extras*

Would buy a bundle for £180. As for now, I'll just import a japanese one.

mrjohill · Jan 30, 2014

Y'all should have made it 150. You have to compete. You make all these great decisions with the ps4 but whenever the vita is involved y'all find ways to give people reasons not to buy it

anonymous_abc · Jan 30, 2014

what a shame.
lol

Hasney · Jan 30, 2014

COMING SOON: Wii U slim with a new redesigned gamepad.

£250.

Because that would improve sales.

Olliewilldie · Jan 30, 2014

Sometimes I just don't understand what the heck they are thinking :/

The price of superiority. I kid I kid.

This has to be a plan to artificially inflate the price for a yet to be announced PS4/Vita bundle, right?

Ha ha thats exactly what I was thinking. They literally could do no wrong around the time with PS4, but with Vita... I wouldn't say its a disaster, but its not good either.

Just read IGN's post on it, love how they say "cheaper model", its not cheaper... ha ha.

jzbluz · Jan 30, 2014

Holy shot, I hope is not that expensive when it gets to NA.

Robin64 · Jan 30, 2014

£180 for a Vita with a worse screen? No ta.

Didn't realise half the stuff with that £140 Vita was PSP software, though. Better look for another bundle.

Burger · Jan 30, 2014

I'd buy one for £130ish, but £180? They are smoking crack.

Hasney · Jan 30, 2014

They really should have just launched it in the current Vita bundles or new ones for £150 with a memory card and games. It's not universally regarded as an upgrade, so coming in solus at a higher price point is suicide.

hohoXD123 · Jan 30, 2014

It's like there are completely different companies behind the Vita and the PS4.

S¡mon · Jan 30, 2014

What was the current Recommended Retail Price in the UK?

cluderi · Jan 30, 2014

180?

Guess I'll pick up a cheap 1000 if and when.

Yeah none of the software in that £140 bundle is interesting. You'd still need to buy games, but it's not a bad deal either way.

I was looking out for good bundles with this new model but £180? Lulz.

8 X 11 Printer Paper · Jan 30, 2014

I guess this is a ingenious way to smother the remaining life of the Vita in the west, to get it out of it's misery.

zerokoolpsx · Jan 30, 2014

£180 for a slim Vita? Sony really wants to kill the Vita then.

This is the bundle you want: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GSR7OGM/

Usually floats around the £150 mark if you hunt around, so keep an eye out

mrjohill · Jan 30, 2014

Are they at least discounting the vita 1000?
