Terrific review. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Just ordered my Vita slim from Amazon today, so feeling better about my purchase. I've been putting off buying for a couple of years, but finally bit the hook. :)
I've been thinking about getting a Vita (I've played PS my entire life, but have never had a PS handheld) and your video really helped my decision. Thank you!!!
I absolutely love my Vita. I got the phat, OLED version and I can't be happy enough. I am a PS+ subscriber since the beginning, so I always took the time to put all the Vita games on my download list because I knew some day I would buy one. With that in mind, I can highly recommend you guys to buy a Vita as long as you have all the PS+ free games on your download list. Now, if you don't... well, I don't think it's a good idea, sincerely.
I was going to buy the glacier white, but right before checkout, I ended up jumping ship to neon orange. I don't regret my choice. Either way, the vita is one beautiful handheld :)
Just got my slim last night. I love it! looks and plays great! Some people complain about the screen being LCD. NO REASON! If you are thinking about getting it, do it. Don't hesitate! I wish I got it sooner. First thing I did was (REMOTE PLAY)ED MGS5 Phantom Pain. Worked perfectly.
Hello Mark sir, I am a great fan of yours....Your videos are so so soo cool......Plz make some more videos on Ps vita....It is a great honour talking you....Take Care sir
I've had a japan imported vita for a while now, and only niw discovered I can map the x and o buttons to a pal/us standard mapping thanks to this video
Thanks for the review ! Now I am going to upgrade to the new Vita. That LCD screen looks awesome. Sure there might be a slight downgrade from the OLED but its nothing like all the negative complaining people have stated. So it looks like its just a matter of preference and I prefer the lighter, slimmer, longer battery life and easily re-charged version. Its funny how people keep announcing the Vita is dead yet we are constantly getting new colours, new apps, new awesome games every couple of weeks: Crunchy Roll, Resident Evil Revelations, DOAX3, Persona Dancing All Night, Toukiden 2, Danganrompa Ultra Despair, BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend, Final Fantasy, New Colours, PS Now and Live from PS/Twitch.....yet people keep announcing how "dead" it is??????
+Thierry Laurent No I have not gotten it yet. I have the original right now. I am going to wait until closer to the holidays to see if it goes on sale.
Man dude I was in love with my psvita for two years And one day for some reason my right analog stick stopped working I was so mad I am waiting too save up money to buy a new one.
There's a reason why japanese use the circle as ok, and thats because they use circle (maru) as confirmation and cross (batsu) as denial, imagine when people cross their arms to say no. Also in nintendo consoles the letters are inverted because japanese read from right to left, so they confirm with the first latter A, located in the same place as Circle in sony consoles.
yeah i got the blue won pre-ordered from Gamestop. Although i do have 2 slims from Japan I picked up when I was there. White/Lime Green and Grey/Black.
If you customize your button assignments in accessibility and make “x” to “o” it Carey’s over to the game as well Just disable custom button assignments and when you log in to your United States PlayStation account and play your games on the PlayStation Vita all buttons in your game will function correctly like a US Model PlayStation Vita , you will just only have to Use the “o” button to confirm in the PlayStation vita Apps and settings menus that are not within the game , only the PlayStation Vita System Apps not the game so just leave it as default . Because if you customize your buttons it will be a headache to remember “x” is “o” when playing a game when you have been playing the way for 10 +years
I don't understand why people say the VITA is dead, I just bought the Aqua Blue from SINGAPORE with a cover and glass screen protector. also picked up the NYKO Power Grip awesome. I have just bought my first two games and awaiting delivery of them both LEGO Games. In 🌏 Australia we do not have a great selection of games.
I bought my vita around 6 months ago as i am not interested in smart phone games and living in Japan i spend a lot of time on the train. Persona 4 golden alone made my purchase worth it. Psvita is perfect for jrpgs and indie games that come free with psplus.
The biggest changes compared to the fat version is built-in 1Gb of memory, normal micro-usb cable, and is slimer and lighter of course :) These are good changes, even with this LCD screen, it's most energy efficient maybe.
Lol i still use my vita to this day, i need a new one because the battery in mine is faulty. (I have gen 1 of the vita). I can't go anywhere without the plug so i need another one. I like this style, looks lighter and more modern, only thing I'm not gogo about is the black frame around the screen. Japanese ver, which cost as much as a PS4 like the white and green,blue, and pink have a white frame around the screen. don't understand why the plain white has that black one, but thank you for the review. Sooo made me want to get this version.
I am getting my ps vita b4 the end of the year. Hopefully the orange version. I used to have a psp fat. I loved it. After alot of reading around I would probably like the vita alot as well. The only downside is the memory card. I dont want to buy the expensive memory card. Would the 1Gb be enough for saving games? Also are you able to put psp iso in the internal memory?
I really dont understand why sony hasnt given more support to the vita its got so much potential I mean come on imagine a gta game on it or a kingdom hearts or metal gear solid
The start and select buttons look much more accessible in the new model. I hate on the older model the start/select are small and sunken in making them hard to press. Looking forward to getting the new aqua model in about two weeks from gamestop.
Hi mate, what games were you playing in this video? I particularly like the look of the second one. I still love the vita to this day and play it non-stop! Always considered purchasing the newer model in the white finish for the exact same reason (charger) but still unsure as i love the screen of my original model. After having this one for a few years now would you recommend switching to this model?
Beautiful video, I love it!!! Can you tell me if you prefer the LCD or the OLED screen? I want to get a PS Vita and thing I should get the hold version look like is a better quality toy.
Thanks for the great review just ordered mine on amazon I'd say vita isn't dead Everyone seems not to be mentioning that you can remote play the ps4(if you have one ) with the vita That's worth buying one alone I'll be honest haven't had a psp since the non vita slim days I don't miss umds the psp didn't have huge functionality or a hi library and I nodded mine and just played snes games on it till I gave it to a friend for free The vita has all ps1 games most psp games and psn games plus remote play hell I bought a pstv just to play breath of fire 3 without popping in the disc Truth is as a hard working 30 something with les time to game after work I am hella stoked that I can now lay in bed and play ps4 remotely without turning my head lol lazy I know But truth is I'll probably be too busy playing bof 3 to care lol At least song has more cross buy then Nintendo I love my 3ds but all companies just want our money lol Anyways I'm ranting point is Great buy I'm sold
with the old vita you get richer colors because of the OLED screen. The slims benefits is longer battery life, USB charging, and it is compatible with newer cases and skins.
i might bye me a ps vita from japan now just because of the X and O swap. I grew up with FF7 and O was the main action button... I really miss that... :(
It was ashame that Sony remove the light of the ps logo instead they put it on the top near the power button. Still im gonna buy a slim vita soon because my oled version is worn out.
Is it weird that I love watching multiple unboxing videos once I set my sights on something?
Same
I don't care how 'dead' the PS Vita is. I still play mine almost every day and have been a big supporter since I got mine in March 2012 :)
👏
Totally agree!
+Bourgeois Saint doesn't mean you can't enjoy games that have already been made for the system. he knows the ps vita is a struggling platform
+Bourgeois Saint lol Wtf proof??
+Rich HomieP Google it, it's true. I have a Google news app and on the Sony section of it there's articles saying there will be no more successors.
if you are reading have a safe day
i hope i die like right now.
I hope you have a great weekend.
B C ok
I love how there are still people like me that LOVE the Vita☺️😍
Isaac Shepard ikr its hard to find some one that likes the vita nowa days.
@@fazewatershark3816 I still play online ps vita
Terrific review. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Just ordered my Vita slim from Amazon today, so feeling better about my purchase. I've been putting off buying for a couple of years, but finally bit the hook. :)
WOW I think your the first person that showing off the new model of the slim !!!! thanks for sharing !!!!
I've been thinking about getting a Vita (I've played PS my entire life, but have never had a PS handheld) and your video really helped my decision. Thank you!!!
Vita lovers will always back up this great system...yes Im a huge vita fan too (2021)
2022
I absolutely love my Vita. I got the phat, OLED version and I can't be happy enough. I am a PS+ subscriber since the beginning, so I always took the time to put all the Vita games on my download list because I knew some day I would buy one.

Now, if you don't... well, I don't think it's a good idea, sincerely.
ps vita was ahead of its time, sony really be ahead of its time with its portable devices.
I was going to buy the glacier white, but right before checkout, I ended up jumping ship to neon orange. I don't regret my choice. Either way, the vita is one beautiful handheld :)
That looks so good!
I am very happy to have found your channel the vita is a great system and it has plenty of games thanks again for what you do
In my opinion Sony messed up when they downgraded from OLED.
Also, it doesn't take micro-sd, it takes an over priced Sony memory card.
+andrew richardson that made me sell mine, cause memory got way to expencive.
***** Well I'm smart enough to not throw 30 euros on a 8gb memorycard, if that's the same as beéing poor too you, you are just going beyond stupid! XD
+TheBoss X clearly hes on a ps vita because he likes handheld consoles
It's not 2012 anymore, the cards are fairly cheap now. I picked up 16GB for £12.
anil2 guess that is different in different regions, here it is like 30-40 euro.
Wish we got the white one :(
Just got my slim last night. I love it! looks and plays great! Some people complain about the screen being LCD. NO REASON! If you are thinking about getting it, do it. Don't hesitate! I wish I got it sooner. First thing I did was (REMOTE PLAY)ED MGS5 Phantom Pain. Worked perfectly.
I wasn't aware there was a high contrast setting. Just activated mine. Thanks for the info!
Marc, may I know how long have you got this? And does it get yellowish over time?
+Syahmie Shahar like 10 months and still very white
+Marc The Geek I got the same color the matt finish does the job well no fingerprints
It wont go yellowish so don't worry. Its not the same material as say the front of a gamecube
I'm getting the blue version
Everyone Free Advice Ps Vita Slim Black Looks Good BUT Its Really Hard To Keep It Clean....
Hello Mark sir, I am a great fan of yours....Your videos are so so soo cool......Plz make some more videos on Ps vita....It is a great honour talking you....Take Care sir
You have inspired me to get this (some how)
great video as always Marc can't wait till the next remote play video
That PSVita it looks amazing
+SMITH rX1 I love the looks of it.
Marc The Geek me too love the color :D cant wait for the blue one
Respect to the gentleman with the resourceful info- thx
Congratulations !!! Marc. ^^
Thanks for watching.
+Marc The Geek i dont know if i should get the aqua blue like i dont trust the website ? Is it a good website ? Do u trust it?
that glacier white psvita looks badass
A new vita for me coming from Sweden ☺
I broke my Vita after 2 years of use & I'm looking to get another one. Loved the Vita.
The speakers on the new model is much better than the older one, Which is super awesome.
it looks very cool, congrats Marc
I'm a huuuge vita fan too man. unfortunately I have only owned the first one haha. hopefully I'll have money when new one comes out. vita love!
The black bezel around the screen reminds me of a gameboy advance. Nostalgia.
you are the best unboxer!!!!!!!!!☺☺☺
I've had a japan imported vita for a while now, and only niw discovered I can map the x and o buttons to a pal/us standard mapping thanks to this video

Did you get your Slim, I'm not sure yet which one to get hard to decide for me :(
+Thierry Laurent No I have not gotten it yet. I have the original right now. I am going to wait until closer to the holidays to see if it goes on sale.
+Ric Phoenix Did you recommend me to get the slim?
+Thierry Laurent Sure, if you dont already have a Vita....get one !
+Ric Phoenix Thank you so much :) I will get the PS Vita slim Wi-Fi.
I'm getting the same ps vita slim in two weeks can't wait
how is it?
+Deroidz GB sucks, best console ever
awesome video as usual
👌👌👌
The blue one looks sick
I have a US PS3 and I dont recall any time I used X to confirm, used O
Mark, great reviews! keep it up!
Man dude I was in love with my psvita for two years And one day for some reason my right analog stick stopped working I was so mad I am waiting too save up money to buy a new one.
Looks amazing! I want one now.
There's a reason why japanese use the circle as ok, and thats because they use circle (maru) as confirmation and cross (batsu) as denial, imagine when people cross their arms to say no. Also in nintendo consoles the letters are inverted because japanese read from right to left, so they confirm with the first latter A, located in the same place as Circle in sony consoles.
yeah i got the blue won pre-ordered from Gamestop. Although i do have 2 slims from Japan I picked up when I was there. White/Lime Green and Grey/Black.
Great Stuff Marc!
For me ps vita still alive. Im enjoying every bit of it. So i hope monster hunter will come soon with english translation of course.
Very informative thank you so much
Just purchased this. If anyone is interested: Amazon Japan ships globally and the device is cheaper than on PlayAsia or YesAsia
If you customize your button assignments in accessibility and make “x” to “o” it Carey’s over to the game as well
Just disable custom button assignments and when you log in to your United States PlayStation account and play your games on the PlayStation Vita all buttons in your game will function correctly like a US Model PlayStation Vita , you will just only have to Use the “o” button to confirm in the PlayStation vita Apps and settings menus that are not within the game , only the PlayStation Vita System Apps not the game so just leave it as default . Because if you customize your buttons it will be a headache to remember “x” is “o” when playing a game when you have been playing the way for 10 +years
BILLIONAIRE AUDIO thanks bro
I don't understand why people say the VITA is dead, I just bought the Aqua Blue from SINGAPORE with a cover and glass screen protector. also picked up the NYKO Power Grip awesome. I have just bought my first two games and awaiting delivery of them both LEGO Games. In 🌏 Australia we do not have a great selection of games.
im going to get that tom at christmas!! so exited!!!
Hint: when trying to show something on the screen or the screen itself don't fucking wobble it from side to side!
Great Unboxing! :D
ugh this video makes me miss my old vita. great great console
I bought my vita around 6 months ago as i am not interested in smart phone games and living in Japan i spend a lot of time on the train. Persona 4 golden alone made my purchase worth it. Psvita is perfect for jrpgs and indie games that come free with psplus.
I will be getting a PS Vita Slim tomorrow in black it is the lego bundle:)
that vita looks amazing... i guess i'm not much for the black borders but everything looks really cool
brought the vita the first day it came out and I'm in love with it am going to buy this one purely for the micro usb
Hey ! You should consider that your new vita won't have mind blowing screen colors anymore, The LCD is fine but don't expect to see the same contrast.
Noted
The biggest changes compared to the fat version is built-in 1Gb of memory, normal micro-usb cable, and is slimer and lighter of course :) These are good changes, even with this LCD screen, it's most energy efficient maybe.
Lol i still use my vita to this day, i need a new one because the battery in mine is faulty. (I have gen 1 of the vita). I can't go anywhere without the plug so i need another one.

Wow, I miss my Vita Slim... I recently sold it due to the lack of games(using the money to buy a ps4) ..
I loved the vita tho!
thx for the review
your da only one who made an unboxing of dis
that color looks nice
Thank you it helped so much
keep it up dude
gonna come in the mail this friday yeah yeah yeah
better than iPhone 7
cause it has headphone jack lol
The phone can not compared with ps vita.
Leati Joseph ,
I really dont understand why sony hasnt given more support to the vita its got so much potential I mean come on imagine a gta game on it or a kingdom hearts or metal gear solid
0:36 "it looks like black over black errrm I dunno" 😂😂
The start and select buttons look much more accessible in the new model. I hate on the older model the start/select are small and sunken in making them hard to press. Looking forward to getting the new aqua model in about two weeks from gamestop.

After having this one for a few years now would you recommend switching to this model?
That's sexy, now I know what I want for Christmas Marc!
I have the old psp 1001 since it came out , and yesterday I decided to buy a psp vita really like it .
i would like to buy it too but the memory card is as expensive as the console which turned me off from getting it
Its PS Vita not PSP Vita NOOB!!
You first fuckhead
+Octavio Roso PSP stands for PlayStation Portable... Vita isn't Portable just PS not PSP
+Voltekz How is vita not portable?
Can the New PSVita slim transfer memory card to old slim vita 2013 version to 2015 version if you buy the new vita coming this year 2015
Aye essay, all you need to compliment jour videyo is some sopapeas and tortas Holmes
I should I pick up the US version now I only now can find it in black color only or the Japanese ps vita version that has more color options
Will use the high contrast tip thanks. Remember to set remote play to 60fps.
Beautiful video, I love it!!! Can you tell me if you prefer the LCD or the OLED screen? I want to get a PS Vita and thing I should get the hold version look like is a better quality toy.
Is this vita called the pch-2001? mine says 2001 on the back and it's plain black :/
It looks great!
my ps vita power button doesn't work but when I zoom in It works I presented everything soon after everything worked wierd I have 1000,s
cant wait for the blue one to come to america!!
I'm dying to get this color model.
Thanks for the great review just ordered mine on amazon I'd say vita isn't dead
Everyone seems not to be mentioning that you can remote play the ps4(if you have one ) with the vita
That's worth buying one alone
I'll be honest haven't had a psp since the non vita slim days
I don't miss umds the psp didn't have huge functionality or a hi library and I nodded mine and just played snes games on it till I gave it to a friend for free
The vita has all ps1 games most psp games and psn games plus remote play hell I bought a pstv just to play breath of fire 3 without popping in the disc
Truth is as a hard working 30 something with les time to game after work I am hella stoked that I can now lay in bed and play ps4 remotely without turning my head lol lazy I know
But truth is I'll probably be too busy playing bof 3 to care lol
At least song has more cross buy then Nintendo
I love my 3ds but all companies just want our money lol
Anyways I'm ranting point is
Great buy I'm sold
I had a black one for Christmas last year
is the front of this Vita Matte? Or Glossy?
in my opinion, if they used regular microsd cards, it can sell way better because memory is cheaper.
apart from the different colors how is this different from the original PS vita slim?
+Ziich Nothing, just the colors
+Marc The Geek lol (sarcastically) thats a huge difference a duh
with the old vita you get richer colors because of the OLED screen. The slims benefits is longer battery life, USB charging, and it is compatible with newer cases and skins.
+Ziich It also weighs a lot less.
eptlrm but just to be clear there is no difference btw this 'new' slim vita and the older slim vita launched in 2014 correct?
i might bye me a ps vita from japan now just because of the X and O swap. I grew up with FF7 and O was the main action button... I really miss that... :(
I only like the plain white one..Looks much cleaner.
The slim version has been out since 2014 in the US
I miss my playstation days
What game you played from 11:42 :) name please ... and nice video i own 3 models of PS Vita
It was ashame that Sony remove the light of the ps logo instead they put it on the top near the power button. Still im gonna buy a slim vita soon because my oled version is worn out.
I got my PSvita today, i love it.
i guess i had the bst vita slim ever i buy one and the battery last a day its awesome!!
Whats the difference between this and when you already bought and reviewed the slim model you imported a while back? just a color change?
Marc just want if youre going to use this to all of your future videos?
I thank ju, I wanted to make sure I could change the x and o before buying my ps vita
