Support NeoGAF

[Conflict NZ]

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

Dammit, read that as Micro SD and got excited

 

[SmokyDave]

Slimmer, lighter, cheaper Vita with an LCD screen?

Smart move. Hopefully this brings over a few more PSP owners and other fence-sitters.

 

[ayob]

i hope this model doesnt come to the US. If it does i hope it co-exist with the current oled model at a cheaper price. i would hate for anything to happen to my current oled model in 2 years and have to replace it with a lcd model.

I love how we got ppl in this thread acting like OLED on vita is so godlike, but we also got a big thread here on neogaf complaining about Vita OLED burn-in with some of those same people from this thread in that thread.

If Sony pulls off the switch to LCD/LED right and it still looks good without the OLED burn in then I'm all for it. On top of that it's thinner,lighter, comes in some pretty sexy colors , and dat micro usb. Also the 1gb internal is nice for people to play games from retail with no probs and you can still download small mb games like Hotline Miami.

This is a good step for sony imo, now the next thing they need to do is advertise the shit out of this and get a crapload of more games first party and third party

 

[Proven]

Hmm, so Nintendo drops the 3D and Sony drops the OLED.

Honestly, I approve of both.

 

[I'm new be nice]

I wonder if the shoulder buttons will be a little nicer.

I'll definitely buy a 64 gig memory card, but I guess I should hold onto my current Vita. I don't really have a problem with LCD screens, plus you wouldn't have to worry about burn-in, but so far my Vita has been fine so idk. Battery life doesn't seem improved enough to warrant a new purchase either.

 

[MetatronM]

I need that 64 GB card immediately.

It's the same price isn't it??? I'm confused.

 

[Shoyz]

It's the same price isn't it??? I'm confused.

It is! I'm guessing everybody is assuming the savings will pass onto the consumer? Where's the backlash?

 

[SmokyDave]

It's the same price isn't it??? I'm confused.

I dunno man, I've only just woken up and the world is a spinning maelstrom of Vita news. This must be what heaven feels like.

 

[GeneralManager]

Well it'll probably help Sony in terms of cost of materials. But I don't like the switch to LCD. It was a differentiating factor. You could spot the difference even when comparing it to high end phones.

 

[Proven]

My backlash is simple; I just still won't buy it. Even with Danganronpa tempting me...

 

[Jaagen]

I dunno man, I've only just woken up and the world is a spinning maelstrom of Vita news. This must be what heaven feels like.

I think they mentioned around $190 for the new one. Oh well, still going to get it!

 

[Axispowers]

WTF is this thing?!?!!?!? Vita TV???

 

[ArchAngel]

Finally LCD. I will buy it, don't Luke AMOLED and it negative sides

 

[Drek]

It's the same price isn't it??? I'm confused.

There will be a fabrication line transition to pay for and new colors always = new sales to at least some degree. So the color collectors will likely subsidize the transition in manufacturing, then Sony will get more competitive with the price.

Get demand OLEDs while they're around, no way this is not a full global replacement.

 

[Marvel]

I think it's about time I order one then xD

 

[j0hnny_385]

Looks like we got a "HDMI out on a Vita", amirite? xD

 

[Zok310]

Only 1gb, shit those memory sticks must cost too much. Sony is mad stingy with them.

 

[LorDjidane]

DAT NOLED.

I'm sad.

 

[mollipen]

WHO IN THE HELL decided the pink Vita should be pink + black? In what possible galaxy does that combination make any sense? White + pink is like a thousand times more logical.

 

[matrix-cat]

I think there might be a light blue one out there with my name on it before too long. Dammit Sony, I just bought a 3DS XL.

 

[weevles]

Gimme dat 64GB card.

 

[mandiller]

How much will the 64GB card be? My 32GB is full...

 

[cookie-monster]

TN or IPS?

 

[Necromanti]

Sony's new direction away from OLED in their Vita revision coupled with the announcement of the new PS Vita TV have pretty much cemented my decision. Playing Vita games on a TV for a price point of ~$99 will be nice, at least.

 

[KalBalboa]

How much will the 64GB card be? My 32GB is full...

Looks like ~$99.

 

[BocoDragon]

No OLED is serious buzzkill... But I will wait to see reviews of the screen. Modern LCDs are pretty decent...

 

[Mr YuYu]

Did they say when the new Vita is launching worldwide? I wanna see comparisons before is buy one.

 

[Cranreuch]

Yesssss... Now we can escape the tyranny of the mura effect, motion blur, a mayfly lifespan and the wonders of burn-in.

Still feel a bit burned by my purchase of the OG Vita, but it would be churlish not to double dip now that they're giving me what I wanted all along.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Did they say when the new Vita is launching worldwide? I wanna see comparisons before is buy one.

Oct. 10th. Not sure if its World wide though.

 

[immortal-joe]

When are the 64GB cards out...WHEN??!!!

 

[Noisepurge]

huh, just LCD screen? will wait eagerly for the comparison photos!

 

[lazybones18]

Micro USB? What's that?

 

[$h@d0w]

Micro USB? What's that?

The small usb port you usually get on your android phone.

 

[lazybones18]

The small usb port you usually get on your android phone.

I don't have an android phone....or any cell phone >_>

 

[fertygo]

If its boost battery life to 5 hour, I'm happy with this.

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

It's looks cheap.

 

[drivingpro]

BAH! I can't believe they still have the speakers in the same position in this new Vita.... my thumb usually blocks one of the speakers enough for me to notice a volume difference in stereo sound balance.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

So is there a huge difference between OLED vs. LCD?

 

[benpicko]

My OLED screen has horrible mura and I'm terrified of overusing it and having burn-in so I might get this

 

[HT UK]

64GB CARD YES!!!

 

[thewhitehawk]

No OLED is kind of a bummer, but I guess this is what they needed to do to reach that lower price point.

 

[Korezo]

LCD screen, no more OLED. Yuck.

The oled on a lot of vitas screens were bad so Sony probably took notice.

 

[CrisKre]

No OLED stucks big time. Maybe I should buy a new Vita of Craigslist for cheap before these replace the current model.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

I dunno man, I've only just woken up and the world is a spinning maelstrom of Vita news. This must be what heaven feels like.

Haha, same here... Thought that day would never come, but here it is, and feels good, man.

You do know neogaf is not a sentient individual being but people with opinions right? There is no contradiction with different people wanting different things.

 

[liger05]

Is this the same price as the original Vita?

 

[BAW]

If this an LCD of Triluminos quality, then all is OK.

But if Sony cheaps out, then it would be worth hunting down an OLED Vita while they still exist.

 

[Phii]

No OLED or a bigger internal storage kinda'of dissapeals for me.

But damn that sexy yellow PS VITAgrrgeee grr grr.
