LCD screen, no more OLED. Yuck.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Nevermind, found it on joystiq.com

 

[Spongebob]

1GB? lol

 

[xclaw]

64gb card!

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

No OLED, no deal. That was probably the best thing it had going for it.

More battery's nice though

LCD screen, no more OLED. Yuck.

Well that's a bummer.

 

[sfedai0]

So much info in OP. No need to clink on link.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Ehh. While its nice that its smaller, the size was never a problem for me.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

OMFG 64GB

[Evershade]

5" LCD (No OLED) and Micro USB to charge

 

[TheBioLover]

Goodnight sweet OLED.

 

[Skilletor]

1GB? lol

At least it means you can play all games from a cart immediately. :/

Please announce a 64gb card.

 

[FINALBOSS]

I wonder if OLED doesn't translate well to English.

Sucks about the removal of the OLED but as long as it looks sexy.

Also the announced price was ~19000 yen which is like 190 USD.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

LCD screen, no more OLED. Yuck.

Really? That sucks.

 

[mrklaw]

LCD isn't bad if it is a good quality one.

1GB memory is a good start for save games if you're using physical cards, but patches fuck that up very easily.

But isn't the price barely changed from the current Vita?

 

[Thoraxes]

Ew LCD.

 

[Derrick01]

Yeah it's not worth it with no OLED. You can't do anything with 1gb space and an extra hour of battery life means you can get like 5 hours now. Whoopie.

 

[Jeels]

Wow, I was going to import this until I read no OLED. Eh, not a must buy anymore. :/ I'll stick with my current one.

Those colors are so nice too. What a shame.

 

[Zombie James]

LCD screen, no more OLED. Yuck.

Was the AMOLED in the original Vita a standard RGB grid? If so, this is a downgrade. I'm all for a lighter model with more battery life, though.

 

[Jarmel]

No OLED?

Not enough W's in the world.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[synce]

Didn't the OLED have burn in issues? Don't care about removal if it gets me a thinner Vita with longer battery, built in memory too... Might actually buy a Vita finally

 

[NingenJanai]

goodbye sweet prince OLED, you were too good for this world.

 

[Shtof]

NOLED, am I right?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

If they keep the resolution then I see nothing wrong with this.

 

[BruiserBear]

Weird.

 

[Sandfox]

Sucks for the people in the west who just bought one when the price drop hit.

 

[chadskin]

I feel a little cheated for being an early adopter.

 

[Turbowaffles]

Really wanted HDMI out.

Maybe we'll be able to stream Vita games to the big screen via the PS4?

 

[KalBalboa]

I wonder what the screen looks like in person.

64 Gig cards are great news, and it now supports Micro USB 2.

I feel a little cheated for being an early adopter.

Eh, two years seems fine.

 

[Pein]

use the LCD tech thats in htc phones, that shit looks amazing.

 

[timetokill]

1gig?

Is that even enough for game patches?

How much cheaper is this model going to be?

 

[Ochi]

Sauce please.


That said it's hard to say if this would move more vita's. 1 GB is not a lot of space, heck some PS1 games have more than 1GB of content.

 

[funkystudent]

No video out.

The great GiantBomb Vita quicklook drought shall continue.

 

[FINALBOSS]

If they keep the resolution then I see nothing wrong with this.

Yeah there's nothing wrong with it. It looks like the same res.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Vita means life

 

[ramoisdead]

Well no reason to get this since it won't have no OLED. And with the 64 GB card announced, I'll definitely be keeping my Vita.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

No HDMI out no buy

 

[Hybrid897]

Oh was thinking of picking it up, but no OLED. No Thanks.

I'll grab the 64GB card when it hits 80ish though.

 

[mullet2000]

Well the 1 GB is obviously so people can at least play physical games right out of the gate.

I wonder how much cheaper the redesign will be without the OLED screen. What is the difference in price in Japan?

 

[Tiktaalik]

I'm assuming the switch from OLED to LED is to improve the battery life? (In addition to price?)

 

[Toki767]

I wonder what kind of LCD it is. If it's Super LCD3 like HTC's phones it could be really nice.

 

[kuYuri]

Hmmm, would have jumped on this new model, but news of LCD screen makes me rethink that...

 

[graywolf323]

LCD screen, no more OLED. Yuck.

it's probably how they improved battery life but disappointing nonetheless

 

[Jotamide]

Around the same price and no OLED?

Lol Sony.

 

[Thoraxes]

I'm assuming the switch from OLED to LED is to improve the battery life? (In addition to price?)

By 1 hour they said on stream.

 

[web01]

I feel a little cheated for being an early adopter.

You shouldn't its going be the best iteration. 1GB of built in memory is nothing and LCD screen is a step backwards.
