Yeah, burn-in's a deal breaker for me, so I don't know why exactly people are getting miffed.
Thats what a current Vita costs, no price drop.

Hmmm, pretty disappointing revision. I'll stick with my white fatty.
But the 64GB card is intriguing, if I don't have to take out a loan to buy one.

Sorry, I came across harsher than I meant. I suppose it is a year earlier than the PSP 2000, but it's right in line with Nintendo's standard
Plus it's not like your Vita's going to stop working. It'll still work just as well--and it'll still have the better screen
No worries. Better battery life and lighter are good counterarguments for the new model though, especially since you can't swap the battery on the Vita.
But what if they stuff one in a PS4 box and charge $500? Not a bad deal.
- Better battery
- USB Micro support
- Thinner/lighter
Plenty of other positives. And hell, there are even new colors.

If it supports micro usb why do we care about a 64 gig memory card? Can't we use the micro usb for storage? Otherwise what is it's purpose?
FINALLY! YES!!!! I can start buying games digitally again! Thank you Sony you are so kind!
Edit: Conversion rate brings the 64 gb card to about $100 us.
Less proprietary cables, easier computer/PS3/PS4 connectivity.

No OLED and 1GB built in memory are sad moves 
will stick to the original and perhaps but a Gen1 and hound it one day. Hope they reintroduce OLED in the next revision. Colours are nice though

No burn in on mine.

Call me crazy, but I've never been a fan OLED in the first place. Don't like the blotching/burn in issues.

Also disappointed with all the new colors, and there's no gold like this sexy beast:

why would you want to be porting around an external hard drive to hook up via micro usb...
perhaps you're thinking of micro sd

All 3 of those are things that I want. However, it's disappointing they took out the OLED screen. I have a current Vita and I love its screen.
Any word on pricing? Is it going to be the same price as the current Vita?
They're asking for it.

I knew it was a good idea to sell both my vitas.
I don't like that they took out the OLED but I'll save my judgment when I can see one in person.

To transfer data between Vita and PS3/PS4? Might be faster using micro USB than the proprietary port that is used now?

Than I don't understand the OLED cries here. I don't experience a big difference between my iPhone 5 and PS Vita screen.
It's basically the same price, yeah.
I want to wait and see what hands-on impressions say about the screen. I'm sure it looks about as good as a solid smart phone, at the least.
Anyone know where to get a new glass panel for the Vita? It'll replace the scratches I have.I wouldn't mind if it was the kind of LCD used in the HTC One and One X.
The redesigned shoulder and start/select buttons alone make me want it.

Thinking of getting the current Vita now because I do want that OLED screen, so this new model will replace the old one? I was hoping I can still get a Vita with OLED in 2 year's time.

... Shancakes link works as well.
Front looks cheapish somehow. Don't like the speaker holes and the screen bezel.

It's like 30 vs 60fps; some people will notice it more than others.
I've honestly never had an issue with the battery and have found it holds charge for longer then my 3DS XL.
Disapointed by the change to LCD, as the current screen is gorgeous in person. also, as others have said, 1GB just isn't enough. 4 GB would have been a better start in my opinion.

Really? It's been out in Japan for nearly two years, and in the West for over 18 months now. At this point with any console, a cost-cutting redesign is pretty much standard practice now.
Edit - what on earth is the point in an internal 1GB of memory though? That's such a tiny amount to be basically pointless. The launch day Killzone Mercenary patch was over 1GB!

LCD display? 1gb internal memory?

No thanks. Im perfectly happy with my original Vita.
Funny I feel the opposite. Being an early adopter of the PS3 fat and PS Vita actually isn't leaving me out in the cold. They're the best iterations available b
About a $100 give or take a few bucks.

Good news on the memory card front, shame about the new screen, but still no HDMI out is a deal breaker for me. Guess I'll have to wait for the next revision.
What's wrong with built in memory?
You no longer have to buy a card for saves if you go non digital, plus the batttery is better, the Vita is lighter/slimmer, and it uses non-proprietary micro-USB cables.
If the screen looks noticeably inferior, it'll be the only drawback.
