Feel the same want a spare OLED model. The PSP Revision felt so much cheaper this will be no different.
Uhm, no. It's 19,929 yen. So, that's roughly $200 and exactly the same price of OG Vita.
If I get the correct price though
Gotta save money in the most critical part of the device!
It depends on how bothered you are by its slight graininess (I only notice that on flat colors) and the weird spots that show up when it displays a pure black screen. For the most part it looks fantastic, but it does have its quirks.
How is that possible?

Do I buy a 1000 before they are extinct or wait it out for the 2000?
Huh, it seems opinions can actually be flat out wrong. Who knew?
Do you really remember the terrible ghosting the PSP1000 had compared to the 2000 and 3000 model revisions?
In terms of the feel of the original PSP the revisions did feel extremely cheap.

So this is around the same price as a vita 1000?
Looks like I am going with a vita TV then

Only noticed just now what Sony did with the "colors" of the device. Listen Sony, I can understand cheapening out on the screen to get more battery life but cheapening out on colored front plate and buttons is just wrong.
As usual with Sony consoles you have the choice of a nice looking black or white model, and then you have a bunch of franken-colors with mixes of colors.
Is this too much to ask?

Definitely going to be grabbing of red or blue from Japan before they disappear to put on the shelf for a rainy day.
PSP quality went down (cheaper) with each itteration...not expecting anythin different with the new Vita.

You can always pay for it to be repaired. If you have a BC PS3 and you send it in for repairs, you'll get the same model back.

No OLED is pretty tragic.
That's good then. I'd even pay a small bit if it meant keeping it.
This is the classic Sony move isn't it? Like the Playstation 3, they slowly removed features... They are now doing this with the PSVita. I saw previously though that this is close to the price of the 1000 right now? Not sure if it's true or not but that's just less for the consumer :/

I'm not sure I like the new Sony way of releasing newer models with substantially cheaper components (PS3 Super Slim, new Vita). Whenever Sony has changed hardware in the past they've kept the build and materials quality up (PS1 and PS2 slims etc).
Just shows how much things have changed I guess.

1GB and no more OLED?
Yikes.
Yikes.
LOL yes. Changing the screen is removing a feature. Good grief.
Adding 1GB internal storage is removing a feature too.
It is in a way. It's what also made the Vita stand out imo.

Is the screen really that big of a deal when you get all the other improvements? Touch LCD today is way better than when the vita w/OLED was introduced two years ago. Sounds solid to me.
I'm actually serious. I just really like seeing a little structure on a screen on handhelds since I'm about a foot away.
Not to say I can't appreciate the Vita screen. I absolutely love it as well. But I'm very happy to have another Vita with an LCD.
I also have a few predilections for artifacts. I'm a big fan of dithering, for example.
Clearly it didn't stand out that much.
The screen on my One X, or on the Z Ultra look fantastic. Not OLED.
Just put a window screen on your Vita. Instant lovely trash.
Downgrade.
The only good thing to come from this conference is the 64 gig memory card. But you know they're going to charge highway robbery prices for that and even then that 64gig won't be enough since it's just two 32gigs (which isn't enough right now) ducttaped together.
Give me 1Tb or bust.

Oh, man.
This finally means people will stop saying "dat OLED" in place of actually writing something.
Worth it.

I do like that they are making the Vita lighter, thinner, and hopefully cheaper. It will be interesting the quality comparisons between LCD and OLED. If its just a notch below, I'm ok with that. This combined with Vita TV just means more Vita hardware for software to be made. End of the day, that's what matters.
I mean when side by side with it's rival, anyway I won't judge it too much until I see it in person. Who knows it could still be good, can only wait and see
