Is OLED the reason my VITA got all watery when touching the screen?

I'd rather have a screen that doesn't die.

Taste the rainbow, I always enjoy them bringing out multiple colors. Maybe down the line I can get a VITA.
Fuck that, I've never had burn in issues and would never give up an oled display in favor of vastly inferior (I can't state that enough) display technology. It's a HUGE downgrade and one I hope never appears elsewhere.
LCDs are garbage for gaming.
Yep.

Dude, OLED makes a fucking huge difference in image quality and really improves the gaming experience, 0 ghosting, 0 blur, i can barely look to my psp´s now after playing on the Vita.

They put a TN on a 700 smartphone (Honami/Z1), do you really think this is going to be a IPS? I honestly don't.

LCD is quite appealing - I would expect it to go much dimmer than the OLED, which is simply too bright to play in the dark in bed.
Heck yeah.
Yet, even at its lowest brightness setting, the black levels on an LCD will still be much worse.
Might have to pick up a spare oled vita at some point in order to avoid getting stuck with an LCD model in the future. Of course, my launch psp still works perfectly so their track record is looking pretty good on that end.

All makes sense to me. Why no built in 16 & 32 GB model's. So weird how they want to sell those memory cards. Like MS with 360.
I really like the new design, the Star, Select and Home buttons look so much better now. I've never really liked the oval shape they had. Going to keep my eyes on this one,
Only shame right now in my opinion is that they didn't change the location of the speakers.
This just looks really nice! And I'm a fan of the matt colors instead, no more fingerprint magnet.

It actually looks pretty good
The Start and Select buttons seem to have gotten bigger as well

I'm not convinced that is true - will test it tonight. I'd still expect the OLED to come out on top, but as long as the other colours are blinding me, I couldn't care less.

I really want the lime green one.
EDIT: Lime green with white?
I wanted it all one color or lime green and black.

Looks like the rear touch area has become smaller to accommodate the wider finger grips - no longer properly representing the size of the screen... could be a problem with Tearaway?

You know, I'm surprisingly down with the screen switch. The thread of Vita OLED burn-in and host of issues made me really nervous, and I don't even have one yet.
I still want it.
Mystery port removed? Now we will never know...
Don't be an early adopter.

Depending on what kind of LCD technology they're using it doesn't have to be bad. I've seen some really great LCDs on newer phones and tablets like the Nexus 7 (but the really high resolution might have something to do with that, Vita doesn't have that). And LCDs last longer than OLEDs.
The disappointing thing is the 1GB storage, that's just a joke. Even Nintendo manage to ship a 4GB card with their cheap as dirt 2DS and Sony can't do the same for Vita? Sony manufacture storage, right? So they should be able to put some more in. Are there even any Vita games that fit on 1GB?

About as comfortable as you can expect of something with such small inputs (relative to a proper controller). Everything is a compromise, but it's as good as Nintendo's handhelds. The left analogue stick is superior to both the PSP and 3DS 'sliders', but you could argue the 3DS is better for analogue control being in the primary position. For shooters, where you use both sticks and the shoulders most regularly, it is unrivaled for a handheld (unless you want to compare it to the Circle Pad Pro), but you can still expect your hand to cramp up pretty quickly. None of these things are ergonomic.
There are plenty of <1GB games on PSN. And it's enough for saves, so people can stop claiming the "true" cost of the console is $300 because they're absolutely forced to buy a $100 memory card just to play the physical games they have.
Good to hold, bad when you played games with high-frequencies of input like action or fighting games. It will gives you a massive cramp after 1 hour of playing.
