Me too.
Honestly, I think this looks good. The screen being LCD is a bummer, but that seems fine. All the colour options look sexy as fuck as well, and I'd've jumped over if my current Vita didn't function properly.
Also, is the entire front still glass or is it plastic? The curved sides seem so comfortable for prolonged use!

So glad they got rid of OLED. Now I can buy a vita without worrying about horrific screen burn-in.

What's wrong with them? Did you get burn in? I have two OLED screens, Vita and Samsung S3. IQ/colors on both destroy everything.

I look forward to having my choice of black or white in NA.
Probably over-saturation. While it works for the Vita because vibrant colors are great for games, I don't like what OLED does for movies and such.

Because it's cheaper, thinner, lighter, has improved Start/Select buttons, bigger rear grips, better battery life, standard MicroUSB connector, an extra 1GB of memory for game storage.
All significant improvements - the only technical 'downgrade' is OLED to LCD, but whether that has any real-world downsides remains to be seen. (Personally I'm interested because I find the OLED too bright at night, and I'm expecting the LCD to go much dimmer).

The white one looks so nice, I really want it. But I already bought and sold a Vita once because it didn't have any games I want, ugh...

There won't be.
Burn in, image retention, discoloration and other stuff that i'm really tired of repeating thread after thread.
It will surely be the best tech in the future when they'll work on the problems but for now it's good to step back and use more reliable stuff.

Why would there be?
But its the same price as the one with OLED? The Vita is already pretty damn light as it is.
For those who don't know these are some differences between vita's oled and psp's lcd
Obviously vita's lcd will be better, but how much?

Mystery port removed? Now we will never know...
That's a real bummer. It was the only hope I had for some sort of proprietary hdmi-out connector. I guess VitaTV is the answer to that now. Still, I wonder whzt it was originally intended for.

Oh, I know of the problems the tech still has. But my near launch Vita doesn't show any of those and I use it quite a lot. And if the screen goes to shit a few years down the raod I'm fine with buying a new one. The picture quality is worth it IMO.
Superior motion resolution (ie - very little blur) and vastly superior contrast ratio (not even comparable) are the two main differences and they are significant. I believe those two elements are far FAR more important than resolution when it comes to display quality.
I've yet to encounter these with any OLED products and I've used them heavily. The same issues were possible with CRTs and plasma displays.
LCDs are indeed the most reliable in the sense that very little can go wrong...but that's akin to sticking with a Toyota Camry when you could be driving a much nicer, higher performance car. It works, it's reliable, it's popular, but it does nothing particularly well outside of functioning. LCDs simply are not well suited towards gaming and require an obscene number of tricks and processing techniques to overcome its flaws. Strobing backlights, inserting black frames, locally dimming each pixel (something that's disappearing due to cost), etc. LCDs, by nature, are flawed displays.
I hate the fact that I'm stuck with one on my desk and almost always game on my Pioneer Kuro instead. Seeing the two running games simultaneously would be a real eye opener for most people, I think. The difference is more significant than you'd imagine when seeing them in separate environments.

Man, that yellow vita would go great with my Pikachu XL.
cheaper components mean the price can drop quicker in the long term

Indeed, such as the new Nexus 7. Would be awesome if they used the same technology...but I doubt it.
This looks awesome and smooth.
Oh man, is that matte? I don't really like the glossiness of my Vita, it feels too slippery and it's always covered in fingerprints. I much prefer the matte (3DS XL, Dualshock 3, etc), so this is great news.
I wasn't interested before, but now I'm intrigued. It will all come down to the screen quality. If it uses a good LCD, I'm in. If the original Vita's OLED is significantly better, no deal.
I simply cannot understand comments like this. In what fantasy world do you live in where LCD is preferable?

is there a spec sheet? I'd be interested to see if it's IPS or TN.

The screen in my iPad 3 is vastly superior to the screen in my Vita.
Oh, because the resolution is higher?
For games, no, it's not. Contrast ratio and motion resolution is still much MUCH worse on the iPad 3.
I'd load Spelunky onto the internal and leave it at that. But, yes. That's the true reason. There's no more hidden cost. And now, getting 64Gb for all those delicious indie titles will last you pretty much forever. I've been dying to redownload Katamari. Are all digital Vita games still $5 cheaper than physical?
Nah. Pixel density, sure. Everything else I'd give to the Vita screen.
Maybe I'm just lucky but I've had mine since launch and despite heavy usage, there's no burn-in whatsoever.
No, it IS automatically bad. Color reproduction doesn't mean shit when it can't handle proper black levels and smears in motion. ALL LCDs suffer from this problem. It's inherent in the design and no amount of pixels or color accuracy will solve it.
