Much like the PSP, Sony's Vita handheld is getting a second-generation refresh. The PS Vita-2000 is 20% thinner and 15% lighter than the original version. The updated system will also include 1GB of built-in memory, which is something, at least. The new Vita will also support Micro USB (ditching the proprietary cable of the original system). It will also be wi-fi only, dropping 3G support.
The new system also includes a 5" LCD screen, a shift from the OLED screen of the original Vita. The refresh also promises an extra hour of battery life.
In Japan, the updated Vita will be available in six different colors on October 10th. However, there's no word yet on what Sony's US plans for the system are. The company recently dropped the price of the hardware to $199.

Not necessarily. OLEDs can be oversaturated, but they can also be properly calibrated. And they're the only screen tech currently on the market that can do true blacks.
I have no idea if the original PS Vitas was well done or not, but it's you shouldn't associate OLED with bad accuracy just because some cell phones are poorly calibrated.-

Accurate screens of any type are rare. I wonder if it's just the case that LCDs can't over saturate as badly, so out of the box they tend to be closer to what we expect. Some OEMs do give screens great calibrations though, for example people that measure such things raved about retina iPads since they were introduced.
Honestly I wonder if the crazy cranked OLED screens aren't a marketing decision, just like the TVs in the store being on torch mode. Hopefully reasonably priced big OLED displays aren't far off because their contrast is probably the next big step in home TV image quality as long as they don't have other problems.

Yeah...they're the only screen tech that can compete with CRT in a number of areas. I imagine when my CRT gives up the ghost (hopefully in several years or more) I'll get an OLED screen to replace it.

1GB would be nice if you just have save games and old school rpgs that take up 20 mb each. If you want to download any of the free games you get with the playstation account, your still gonna have to shell out for their overpriced memory cards.
Hopefully I can pick up an older model and a memory card on ebay for a decent price.

Honestly normally I get a bit envious of the redesigns, but they didn't increase the screen size and the built in storage is only 1gb, so I am alright.

The only thing making me hang on to mine is the PS4 integration, but I don't even know why I'm looking forward to that. The lack of games on the Vita is a huge, huge problem and I'm surprised more attention hasn't been on that issue.

2000 sounds cooler than 2, II, or B

What games are good for this thing again? Like does anyone have a top 5?
-
Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Assassin's Creed III Liberation, and Dynasty Warriors Next are my favorites so far. The resistance game had great graphics and the controls were tight, but the gameplay was kinda blah. Mortal Kombat is a good port, but it can't cross-play with the console version which sucks. I'm gonna pick up the Ninja Gaiden re-release next since I never played those (unless you count the original NES version!).

I wonder if it's an "it technically possible since individual pixels age in this kind of technology" kind of issue versus "a lot of people complain about permanently ruined screens."
Or you could have the in-between people will freak out about over plasmas, "I saw some temporary image retention in a certain set of circumstances so that must be the same as screen-ruining burn in. "-
Yeah, I would like to know if it is just people freaking out over temporary image retention or not...
because I'm definitely tempted to go with an OLED model before they disappear.-
