Is it really that big of a deal to get a Vita slim over a normal Vita? Is it a day and night difference, or is the slim still good?

Comparison pictures don't help much. I need to compare them in person. The OLED screen seems nice, but it seems too bulky compared to the Vita slim.

Slim is better.

Slim is still good, it has a longer battery life.

I know EXACTLY where this thread is going
>>
>>330361392
Not really, /v/ is just really autistic.
The slim is easier to hold because of the lighter weight and slightly better ergonomics. It also has a better battery life and the internal storage is useful if you are physical only and don't want to buy a memory card.
The only advantage of the old model is the OLED screen, so get that if you consider it more important.

>>330361392
i have that vita and its nice IMO. i never had the original.
>>
slim is nice but if you buy that version since its matte and not that retarded plastic shit from the black version. The original is nice for the screen but dies out to fast and its kind of heavy compare to the slim. I have both version and honestly only use my slim now.
>>
>>330361392
God damn that's a sexy handheld.
Shame about the no games

Hey OP,

Got both, and I'd say difference is neglible, and Slim doesn't have those nasty black splotches OLED has.

pic random
>>
>>330363390
hehe epick meme XD
>>
I plan to relace my OG Vita and get a slim since theyre all cheap now. Cant really go wrong with either.
>>
>>330361392
If you don't compare them side by side I doubt you'll actually give a shit.
>>
>>330363546
continue.
>>
>>330363505
>phat vita only came in black and white
there's a few more colors than that, both vitas have way more colors if you import
>>
If you want a great screen and build quality get the phat. If you want better battery life and ergonomics get the slim. The slim also has a lot of ghosting on that shitty LCD.
>>
>>330363767
It's not a meme, I have a vita and I haven't even unpacked it from when i moved a year ago.
>>
Slim's screen is noticeably worse in all regards. The OLED screen is much better.

If anyone honestly complains about weight then they need to eat more than water and celery.

Slim is okay, screen is much worse, either way the handheld is dead. Wish it wasn't though.
>>
>>330364001
Wait a minute, that bulge...
>>
>>330361392
That vita looks rad as fuck.

Does it come in Purple or Red?
>>
The OLED screen on the fat is gorgeous. I don't consider either of them to be very ergonomic but the slim is slightly better. Memory card costs are a huge downside. Whichever one you choose to get, the Vita is a really cool handheld. Shame it didn't see more success.
>>
>>330364781
it comes in a orangish red color, but only the blue version came stateside.
>>
>>330363975

Then unpack it and buy some games retard

Slim is sexier, lighter, more comfy to hold, and has a longer lasting battery.

However the extra battery juice isn't so substantial that one should sacrifice the OLED...

...I really miss my OLED

Also, some accessories, like the hori trigger grips, don't work as well with the slim as they did with the phat. There is the Japanese l2r2 accessory, which afaik only supports the slim, if you're into remote play.
>>
i own a vita phat and i think the oled is overrated
yes its a bit vibrant and sharp but whoo friggin hoo
>>
>>330361575
This is probably bait, but honestly I like my slim (I imported the light blue/white one) more then my OLED.

It feels better, is lighter, and doesn't collect as many fingerprints (though since mine is white thats probably why).

Theres nothing wrong with the OLED though. If I didn't have a PSTV I would keep both tied to my account.
>>
>>330361392
I't still good for plebs
>>
>>330365654
Oh and if you never had the original you won't know the difference display wise.

They both look good and not all games have a big difference.
>>
You'll find most people preferring the slim nowadays
The OLED is nice because it looks nice and has a "technically" better screen. But it's also bigger, heavier, with a worse battery life, and you need a proprietary charger for it.
Slim also looks nice, doesn't need a special charger, is very light, and unless you're looking at the two screens right next to eachother you'd honestly never know the difference.
I had a 1000 and got a 2000 and don't touch my 1000 anymore.
>>
That blue vita, makes me want to buy another one.

>OG Black
>Light blue/white slim
>new blue slim

I don't need a third vita though, especially when I just bought the Zelda n3DS
>>

>either way the handheld is dead. Wish it wasn't though.
Favorite meme of 2014, 2015, and 2016.
There's new games released almost every week, with tons on the horizon as well as tons being translated and localized. It's far from being dead in nipponland.
>>
>>330363640
i have both too and i disagree. phat screen is vastly superior.
>>
>>330366018
It's oversaturated as fuck and doesn't produce accurate color representation.
>>
>>330361392

The difference isn't night and day, but it is noticeable.

Unless you're only going to be playing Dragon's Crown, get the Slim. It's better in most ways that matter.
>>
>>330365654
It's not bait. Slim is a better handheld. OLED has a better screen but worse everything else. The charger is proprietary shit. The wifi chip is shittier. It weighs more. If you're a die-hard OLED fan, go for 1000. But for an actual handheld being mobile, Slim is better. Comes in better colors too.

Bought pic related 'cuz persona and compared screens with my original Vita

Colours seem more washed out

That's it

It was worth it
>>
>>330363954
ghosting?
>>
>>330366439
Why Dragon's Crown?
>>
>>330361392
I had both and sold the OLED after I got my Slim since it's overall the better of the two.
Also remember that if you're buying an OLED used that it could be potentially 4 years old now, while that blue one in your pic will be at most like 4 months old since it just came out.

>>330363954
You sure you're not mixing up the Vita 2k with the PSP slim? 2k doesn't have ghosting.
>>
How do Japanese Vitas work? I know they're region free, but what about the PSN store? I've heard it connects to the Japanese one or something like that. Can someone explain?
>>
>>330368541
Just put your PSN account info in and that's it.
>>
>>330368619
Alright, good to know. I probably misunderstood or something.
>>
>>330369171
The only thing that'll probably change is that cross is cancel and circle is confirm on the main menu.
>>
do those sony FUCKS still use proprietary external storage?
