Right, so for vita2000 owners, true or not? Honestly, sounds too good to be true.
I might have missed it but is there a reason for the slower loadings?
Do higher capacity memory cards have higher read speeds?

Thanks for the impressions. I've been looking to get on the Vita train. <3 portables, but I'll wait for this revised version.

and i think this eliminated my hopes of using multiple accounts one way or another in an simpler way than the original
They just need to update the system so it works like the PS3. Would be the best move for everyone, I don't see how the current way benefits Sony.
Eurogamer: How Fast Are Vita Memory Cards?
Yeah, seems to be the reason why, I also saw comparisons where the 2000 was faster.
Okay, good, at least it's not a 2000 thing.
Horrible?
The colours are dull and the blacks are bad. Its only horrible coming from that OLED. Would've been the perfect device had they included the OLED!
You might want to hold off on judging off screen, LCD's are notorious for filming bad. They tend to look washed out, lose detail, and depending on the camera adopt the temperature calibration of the camera. My guess would be because the backlight needs to bleed through the liquid crystal panel which diminishes the light's brightness.
OLED's sub pixels are direct lights which will show much better on camera and eyes for that matter. The downside to OLED technology at least with the VITA is the dimmer the pixels get, the greener they'll become which is because of the UV filter. The light source, which are the pixels, are much closer to the surface doesnt fall prey to dimming as much.
The point is you need to see it in person to get a more accurate demonstration. Of course it wont have the blacks or contrast of the OLED but its not anywhere close to the hyperbole on this site. And as for the green tint on the LCD, OLED has a blue tint which will yellow over time. Both screen have been tuned at a certain temperature depending on the tech. Keep in mind the Sony is after a more natural look this time around.
He bought one in Japan (look 2 posts up from the one you quoted), so he has definitely seen it in person.
I have both infront of me and my eyes aren't mistaking me. The 2000 definitely looks completely washed out.
It's such a shame because everything else about the device is perfect.

That's a shame. Will wait for the 3000. Hope it's an improvement!
I played a few different Vita games for about 5 hours (including over 3 hours of Dragon`s Crown), some PSP and PS1 games for 2 hours or so, and got over 7 hours on a full charge (with wifi on, brightness around 80%). I actually could have played a bit longer, that just put my battery at the 25% point. That is well over double what I got on the 1000 if I was lucky.
Here is Dragon`s Crown on my 2000, brightness around 80%:
Slight reflection on the bottom center (sorry, I am not a good photographer).
The colours are a bit richer in person. I think it looks beautiful, but if this is not to your taste, then by all means wait 2 or more years for a hypothetical 3000 to arrive.

Thank you! I really didnt like this vita2.0 but with longer battery life with both PSP/PS1 games AND vita games, im very VERY close to buying it now, even with the downgrade of a screen. My current vita last around 4hours or so with low brightness so this is very good to hear.
Just curious did you own an original vita? I'm not saying the new one is horrible. It doesn't hold a candle to the original Vita though. That's to be expected though because the original vita is the best screen I've ever seen.Here is Dragon`s Crown on my 2000, brightness around 80%:

Yes, I did own a 1000 for over a year (I mention that here). I sold it the other day after using my 2000 for a week and I am very happy with that decision. I think the LCD is great (it is far better than the 3DS XL's screen) and I do not miss the oversaturated colours and mura effect of the 1000. I realise quite a few people really like the look of the OLED and do not want to switch to an LCD. That's cool, thankfully both models are available so everyone should be happy.
that didn't happen, sorry

I'm interested to see if you're having some of the issues I am. Does your wifi randomly disconnect and give an error? The only way i can fix it is by deleting and re adding the wifi network. Never happened a single time on my OG Vita yet happened 3-4 times in a single week on my 2000.
I'm so torn about what device to keep. I'm with you all the way on the fact that Vita 2000 in form factor is better in every way. Everything feels more comfortable.
I just hate knowing that I have an inferior screen. It's not horrible but it's still pretty inferior
The looseness, large dead zone, and high sensitivity?
So does it improve on the 2000?
It hasn't happened to me once on my 2000. Never happened on my 1000 either.

Sounds like you want to keep the 1000. A particularly good decision if your wifi is defective on the 2000. Can you send back the 2000?
They feel about the same to me. I initially thought the 2000's sticks were tighter, but the more I use them, the more they feel like the 1000's sticks. It's fine for me though.
It's weird... I purchased the 2000 whilst in Japan. Probably should've tested it whilst I was there.. It was a common issue for the OG Vita as well based on googling the error code.
I think i've actually decided to keep my new Vita and sell the original. I actually love the for factor and think it's pretty much more enjoyable to play on. This pretty much beats the screen difference as I find the OG Vita awkward to hold after playing the 2000.
I feel like the Yellow tint could disappear. Whenever i get a new iPad it takes a few weeks for glue to settle.
I still have the yellow tint on my 3DS XL.
I feel like it's disappearing the more I use the 2000. I don't really notice it anymore. Whites are quite white. Whites were always a tiny bit bluish on my 1000 (which I didn't really like).
I still have the yellow tint on my iPad Retina (3rd generation).
Decided to sell my Vita 2000 and keep my original. Whilst the 2000 feels nicer to hold and start/select button are way better, the screen flat out sucks.
I love an over saturated screen so the original is literally perfect for me. The 2000 just looks washed out and overly yellow.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
I am not inclined to buy a Vita-2000, I will be buying a Vita 2000.
Thinness, battery life and reliability trumps everything else.

I've held off on buying a Vita for some time, but I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger.
The new model will probably win my dollars for the simple fact that there will be no OLED burn-in...such a thing would drive me insane with my OCD personality (pertaining to electronics).

We probably would have heard an announcement if we were going to get it in that amount of time. You would be better off importing I would imagine.

I don't know what to do...2000 or original :S
Guess I'm importing, then. Pretty excited to get my unit, by this point in time there really are plenty of great games available for Vita. And there are even more to come: Tearaway in particular seems pretty interesting, and Borderlands 2 could make a cool handheld game.
Amiami should hopefully be getting the new Toro bundles up for preorder soon-ish. ~$220 for a Vita and 16GB memory card. You also get a code for the PS1 Toro game, if you use Japanese PSN. It comes out December 9th.
Amiami's usually best if you preorder, since places like play-asia are charging $240+ for the standalone system. AA just doesn't restock very often after the initial preorder period.
Vita TV. Then you can use any screen you want
. In seriousness go OLED. Every comparison I've read says it is better.

The OLED screen itself is better (besides oversaturation of black and the mura), but I like everything else about the 2000 better and after a couple of weeks with the 2000, I'd say that I certainly prefer it. Battery life, size, and weight, as well as the slightly better feel of the buttons (and L and R triggers) win out for me.
No issues with the LCD screen whatsoever.

I have had my 2000s for almost a month now and it is a better device than the 1000s.
Feels better to hold, lighter, clearer/louder speakers, more powerful mic output, better buttons and shoulder buttons, significant increase in battery length, super slick looking.
The OLED is gone, but I don't miss it at all. The LCD is fantastic. Love playing games on it.

This is poor advice as you're not just buying a screen, you're buying a complete portable console and you should really consider every aspect of the new model compared to the old one when making that decision.
Vita TV + the 2000 will be a great combo for those who want to experience Vita games on a high quality large screen HD display at home, then play the same games on the go on the very comfortable 2000, with its light weight, thinness, improved form factor, extended battery life and other notable enhancements over the OG model.
Thanks for the recommendation, I was thinking of going with play-asia - the toro bundle seems like a good deal, it's coming out on December 5. Guess I'll have to wait a little bit longer for that sweet Vita - or I'll pay the premium for getting it right now.

That's a ringing endorsement. The less bultky the better, and I like what I hear about battery life. Definitely interested in a 2000.
