The OLED is good but its an old OLED technology and over the years it will look worse and less accurate, even out of the box the colors are less accurate than the LCD slim. Also there is a very easy hack on the slim to give it more saturation with a registry editor.
I bought the 2000 model, it just looks so much nicer and love the simplicity of the design. Also has 1gb of memory which is convenient for hacking and uses micro usb so I don't have to worry about losing a proprietary charger. And the screen? It really looks amazing to me, I don't see it as a dealbreaker at all.
@Mister Donkey I saw the oled vita in real life. In 2014, i washed the screen in the sink to clean the screen. Its broke, 1 week later, its fully broken. In lcd model, i washed it a little too i think its more water proof than it.
@Mister Donkey Bro.The screens aren t very different in real life.The only changes are -The black is more black -The colour are more brighter (Sorry i don t speak very good english,but i hope you understand)
For anyone wondering, The Pros of the Slim do not outweight the Cons of the Fat in 2017.Consider FAT over the SLIM: 1.- The FAT has great battery life unless you live untethered and need to play without external power supply for more than 5 hours straight then the SLIM might be your choice. 2.- The OLED Screen in the FAT is better hands down absolutely destroys the LCD screen in the SLIM, Not only that! is way brighter and its better for outdoor playing.. If you are like me you will play with less than half the brightness on the OLED while the LCD will need constantly more than half the brightness setting. 3.- Weight, Well I cant say anything about this unless you are very weak and fragile in nature it is impossible that the FAT Vita seem heavy to you considering the weight of some new smartphones.. I have played +4 hours straight Uncharted GA very comfortably on it, if you can hold an iPad or a Phablet for hours the FAT is a walk in the park. Reasons to consider the SLIM over the FAT: 1.- Better battery life! the LCD screen is less power hungry and the electronics are more efficient giving the SLIM an edge over the FAT in this regard, The difference in reality is an extra hour of playing but like I said this only matters if you are planning on the go outside for more than 5 hours straight without an external battery. 2.- Ergonomics are better on the SLIM but just slightly.. It is really dependent on the size of your hands, If you have small hands get the SLIM if you have big hands get the FAT.. If you choose poorly in this area you will get cramps a lot!! 3.- (2017 point) 1GB Internal Storage.. A new FAT does not come with memory at all so it was pretty useless, so for the SLIM they added 1GB of internal storage this was very important back in the days but now you are probably buying a used Vita which means you are getting a memory card anyway this makes this point highly irrelevant today unless you buy a spanking new FAT Vita that does not come with a memory card. That is my Resume... Technically speaking just for the Screen you should get the FAT, The Screen is gorgeous it has better dynamic range, outstanding blacks and a wicked brightness output.. The LCD screen in the SLIM does not look bad and you wont miss the OLED screen if you haven't seen it prior to getting one, But if you ever have a comparison model you will regret forever buying the LCD version.
Dude you can't even use the 1 GB of internal storage though so it's pointless. Unless you have no memory card, the 1 GB is completely useless and most games can't fit on 1 GB
The Vita is *still* the greatest handheld gaming devise since the original Gameboy. I still use my 1000 model on a regular basis with my PS3, PS4, & PSTV. The Vita was waaaay ahead of it's time when it launched and everyone, including Sony, completely underestimated it's games, accessories, functionality, specifications, and versatility. What a shame....smh.
I love it, it was definitely ahead of its time and crazy powerful for a handheld. Still to this day I think it has one of the best designs to any console. Its a shame how it was treated, handled and now how its looked upon. But us fans can continue appreciating it. Thanks for watching my video and commenting man :)
Thank you for this comparison. Im getting one soon but the Slim is the specific one that I want since the charging method is done via a common port and it is better in battery life.
The screen on the 1000 looks better for like the first 6 months until black patches start showing up. Other words. It wears out faster. Making the slim look better in an overall life.
Just the fact that Vanillaware games (Muramasa, Dragon's crown, Odin Sphere) are on the vita is a reason to get one in my opinion. I mean those things are a piece of art. Not sure which ones of them have a european release anymore (relevant to where I live), but I'm pretty sure I ended up importing at least two of them, but I can say it was worth it! Also there seems to be indie devs that are interested in releasing for the console, and if you're into it - you can also take a look at the diy scene - a lot seems to be happening there right now. As for the console - I have a PS Vita 1000, and I think it's pretty amazing, but I am always treating it like a porcelain doll. I think the 2000 seems like it's made to take a bit of a beating with it's plasticky body (not a bad thing at all). It's kinda like the 2000 is your daily, where you know you can have some rough fun with, and the 1000 is the one you keep in the garage, polish every two days and bask in it's shiny glory.
My name is Renato, i'm from Brazil. I just saw this video and i really like it. Thank you very much. Well done. The PS Vita 1000 screen is sooooo great.
It's actually still brighter than the LCD Vita. The Nintendo Switch gets pretty bright though. Still not bright enough for outdoor play IMO. You really need some shade at the very least but even that will never be ideal. Too much indirect light.
I like your dialect. I'm a massive fanboy of the PSP 2000 but anything beyond that was spiraling down in awesomeness. I tried the Vita back when it came out and was immediately disgusted with the user interface. No idea what they were thinking but the UI alone killed it for me. I still use my PSP nearly 10 years later though, that was a killer handheld.
Haha thanks, it's the accent xD I've only ever owned the PSP 1000 so I wouldn't know. I'll have to take your word on it. The PSP is a killer system though! Yeah I do agree that the UI isn't the best and it can put some people off. Thank you for watching man!
OLED is the shit, the only advantage of the slim is the battery last longer and it’s super light... both are great, but the OLED definitely looks better ...
Giroto .... Nice write up ... I own both the slim and the OLED, and Love both ... But you make some great points ... The Vita is a great little hand held, shame it didn’t last long, but hey, I’ll be playing mine hopefully for years to come ...
Giroto ....: I hear ya, and no worries I didn’t take it wrong, appreciate your opinion ... I have the nerf protector for my 1000, feels great and protects it pretty well ... And yeah the screen is better, but it’s not like the slim looks bad at all, still a nice LCD screen... The 2000 is also super light weight which is cool ... Honestly I like um both, both have there strengths... Vita is just a great little system, too bad about the dam Sony memory cards though... lol ... I have three 32 gig cards so I’m good, but it’s insane how much they cost... Sony dropped the ball there.. Still love the Vita though !!
I bought a model 1000 for myself 2 weeks ago and I am loving it as a back up when I have free time while at work during my nightshifts. Money well spent. And Killzone looks and plays amazingly.
I got the 1000 model with 3g network. in good condition at GameStop. but I just use WiFi. I literally drove to 5 different gamestops cause they where pretty scratched up.
Lakkadaisikal Kreeaytiviti If you can find one, and have a source for physical games, get one! You won't be dissapointed. But if you can't get a decent memorycard, or games, it is tough to recommend a near dead system. I got mine on day one and got about 45 physical games and an 8 and 16gb card for digital downloads, so I can play the best games for my taste. Also I got a Vita Tv to cycle most games to the big screen. If you own a Ps4 it is also quite handy for remote play. I hope you can make your choice.
I appreciate this Jeff thanks so much..It looks really enticing but I'll have to give it some thought as having a wide variety of games to choose from might prove to be expensive. I'll see what I can do. Cheers.
good video, thanks for the info. I have a PSP, PSP Slim, PSP Go and looking to get a Vita... Your video has shown me the differences between the two models, which was a great help!
If you want one, get both over time. I'm recommending a slim first! You're going to have to pay for an expensive memory card anyway, but reliability is a very important factor here. The only thing the OLED has going for it is the contrast on the screen. The charge port is proprietary. That wouldn't have been an issue if it would work properly with even third-party cables. It has charging issues. Also, the OLED screen is highly sensative to burn-ins. As for colors, don't worry about it. The OLED overdoes colors on some content displayed, and the LCD doesn't do enough on SOME things displayed. The LCD is better for backwards compatibility, as colors do improve over the PSP, and PS1 games. PS2 HD games look great on both models, partially because they're older games. Colors will vary based on the content displayed. Video content is more realistic on the LCD. Most original Vita games fit the OLED better, because of the contrast making it much easier to see environmental details. It depends on the game. The rest are mostly marginal. However, the slim will last longer, and be more portable. It can use micro USBs, just like Androids. The OLED has a higher quality build, but its heavier as well. I'd say to buy a NEW slim. Try to get a NEW OLED next, if even possible! If not then, carefully buy a USED OLED, but from a trusted seller. Look online, and do research. Note: Sony doesn't make OLED models anymore. In Japan, they still make slim models. Take that into consideration as well, but be aware of their lack of support, and lacking game library.
thanks for your review bro really good. I'm a gamer from ps1 all over to ps4 pro. and my work now consists of too much travelling and thinking of buying a vita and your video help me decide.
Which Vita would I get? Well, obviously, the PlayStation TV/PS Vita TV because you can use it to play PSP and PS Vita games on your TV with an existing PS3 or PS4 controller.
I just bought a vita on amazon a couple weeks ago. Turns out it's the 1000 series. That oled screen really is amazing. Never would have known I had one if I didn't come across this video!
yenvo miyuki Don't think so. It's had a screen cover on it. Anyway, been looking at games on eBay, there are some bargains to be had on there. Though those Japanese RPG games are still quite pricey if that's your thing.
made me go even more getting a Vitsa myself because i grew up with PS1 and PS2. I been on the Sony Pony since i was a kid and now watching this and seen some games on the vitsa i want to get me one and thanks for encouraging me as well in a good way! :)
If your someone who appreciates hand helds, and you really good at looking after them, defo go vita 1000 it's awesome. But if your like wanting it for travel, or for your kids, just go for the slim vita. The worst thing on the older vita 1000 is where the charging doc is, you can play while changing, but I never would recommed that, as it bends the wire out of the port, due to use.idk if the slim is diffrent. I'd also recommed vita if your into hand helds. There's grate games, some rare gems like tearaway. If anyone dose go for vita 1000 pls don't play whilst on charge, the charging leads are rare to find, if you breake it, it's going to get harder to find these leads, so even if your carefull, maybe get a spare lead now while you still can, cause this machine is awesome, 1000x better then Nintendo ds. And you'll want it for life.
Aguila701 playing while charging drastically shortens battery life just so you know so I would recommend against it Ive had the same Vita for 5 years (oled) and I've only had to replace the battery once (last year)
MH3UME3MP sorry if it sounds like bullshit to you but I speak off of experience NOT what I THINK or what "sounds cool" so its very much true, try reseraching it with your freetime but thanks for the reply anyways😉
MH3UME3MP it's not a myth it's a Fact but by all means be my guest and continue to be ignorant makes me no difference either way, I on the other hand have had vita since launch and definitely know what I'm talking about Mr. Troll
Thanks man! You cant play physical PSP games on the Vita as it doesnt have a UMD tray. But you can download PSP games from the PSN store. Hope this helped :)
The only thing that the first vita has against the slim is the brightness . Seriously besides that nothing else the slim is way better. When the fuck I’m going to be outside in the sun playing the ps vita . I use my vita when I’m in the car or my bed or taking a shit. Buy the slim it’s way better.
@@yodaoncrack325 mmm... it depends, if you are gonna use it as a portable, I would consider the slim, the battery is badass! And having the fat running low on battery relatively fast I would go for a slim, besides, if you are looking for screen quality, you might better consider the Ps Tv and connect it to a good monitor ;)
They missed a trick when they brought the Slim model out. They could have dropped the proprietary memory cards at that point and gone for the micro SD cards.
....you like playing on max brightness?!? If so, then I can see why it would annoy you. Still, 80% is still high. I only play from lowest to 50% so it wouldn't be a big deal to me...
The slot on the top of the fat vita next to the game card slot is not for a sim card. It was an unused accessory port. The slot for the sim is on the back opposite the d-pad.
I personally bought a PS vita without even thinking of remote play. I've used mine a ton of times and not once have I used remote play. But I do understand it is a big feature for some people. Thank you for watching!
You do need decent upload speed at home to do it though. The PS4's networking card is trash so even though 5 Mbps should be plenty, the PS4 itself will only get 3 and you'll struggle. So I'd say you need 6 minimum upload, and 5 download on your wifi hotspot
Ohh please. The first party support for the Vita is dead. It is ironic from a console named Vita. Its not even getting Gravity Rush 2...a franchise that was Vita exclusive. The only thing I see in upcoming games for Vita are mainly JRPGs which I am not a fan of.
Yea it sucks there won't be Gravity Rush 2 on vita. I recently got rid of my ps4 cus I got convinced I could eventually play it on pc or vita. So that really sucks( missed out on a lot of other cool games too) . But, the rest of your comment was kinda unneeded. If you don't like jrpg, okay, like other guy said "western games".
the PS Vita do have some good games but what the people really want is some console quality type games like Battlefield Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Kingdom Hearts Grand Theft Auto Mass Effect Titanfall God of War Far Cry Ghost Recon in in Horizon zero Dawn not those bullshit indie games that look like i can play on my cell Sunday would be better off making a new PS Vita maybe calling it the PS4 go and this time the better graphic card that can run these games I just want and more what we need is a PS4 portable
Well if you have good enough internet it's sort of like a PS4 portable. Remote play. You don't need crazy good internet, just 6 Mbps UPLOAD minimum at home, and 5 Mbps download 1 Mbps Upload on your wifi hotspot.
InGigo nah. 2000LCD looks great. Its comfy on my hands , also lighter and easier to press start and select. Finally I can share charger with phone. Why 1000 need seperate one.
I have the fat version and I dropped that thing a FEW times, and sometimes it hit the ground HARD (solid concrete floor and pavement and tile floor) and that thing doesn't even rattle like there's anything broken inside. I try to keep my things in pristine condition as long as possible so it's not like I don't care about it, but the few years I've had it and the hits it took and it still works the same way AND functions the same way since the first day I bought it. Every time I dropped it I thought it was done for, but I pick it up and I keep being amazed at the construction of this thing. This was the last gaming devise I'm going to buy anyway, every couple of years a new console comes out and the previous one gets fazed out and becomes useless, and for the price of two consoles I can buy something that will last 2x maybe 3x longer and probably 100x times as useful. Even a fairly inexpensive laptop can beat a PS4 in total usefulness.
Just the fact that the slim has matte colors is reason enough for me to buy it lol (just got the neon orange). The 1000 with its OLED's "better colors" isn't even a significant reason enough for me to buy it, only to get it smudged after 5 seconds of use, and I don't like to use silicone skins or clear cases because I like my consoles as "pure" as possible.
NeroYorozuya I can understand keeping your things as "pure" as possible but with a portable device like a laptop or tablet or in this case a Vita, you HAVE TO use some minimum of protection. I can tell the difference in the screen and although I love like the idea of customization, I go for internals over externals any day.
D Sandoval I actually still have some protection. I have a tpu case (covers the back and sides) and a hard pouch to store my vita. I really did regret removing the silicone case of my 1000 model because it looked basically brand new for a good 4 years or so, but my little brother doesn't know how to take care of stuff XD
I’m definitely getting a PSVita 1000 WiFi only model for my 21st birthday in a few weeks, definitely the OLED looks so much richer than the LCD panel on the 2000 model, for me it’s gonna be a big jump from my PSP 1000
Badassmutha100 who said anything about sony? There are other developers that exists, and the vita has a lot of 3rd party games but most don't get released outside of japan
+Recca You're wrong. There is a reason Vita is doing so poor in sales. Because the lack of games it has. You can sit there and tell me "Oh they have Japanese games and indie games" NOBODY cares about those kind of games tbh. And that is why Vita is doings so god awful and 3ds is doing so good
Hey +Respawn i love that video i suscribed and now i know that i dont really nead the slim one but maybe one day i will buy it but anyways cool video and hopefully u will get more suscribers
Great video... And so true. Not only does Vita have TONS of games, but in general, I find the quality of Vita games to be extremely high. You can tell that the companies who develop for the VIta really love the Vita, and the sheer variety of interesting, quirky, and mind blowing games in incredible.
Yes, they are truly high quality. Its great to see the companies who are still developing for the system. They dont just make one game, they make many. It is amazing. Thanks for watching dude!
Watched your video a few months ago and convinced the wifey to get me a vita for Christmas. She ordered me a blue 2000 model and after lovingly asking if we could contact the vendor and swap it for a blue 1000 model, she agreed. fast forward two weeks later. "New" blue vita 1000 comes in and the ac adapter's scratched up, there's dusty stuff in the thumbstick grooves, and low and behold, the right thumbstick only registered 2 input directions rather than the full 360 degrees. Haha that just got sent back to the vendor today and I've ordered a new silver 2000. Here's hoping I get what I pay for this time around. All in all, I think both vitas are fantastic and cannot wait to play mine for the retro games alone. Your Viking accent is rad too, homie.
good vid mate . I love my vita i bought one for me and my boy . big uncharted fan and the fact u can be on the with ps4 link up is unreal . graphics are top quality i have the 1000 models and u r right about oled screens fantastic.Good to c vita fans still out there .
I just bought a used 1000, waiting for it to arrive. Great review! I've wanted to buy a vita for a long time, I didn't even realize til yesterday they don't even sell them in the stores anymore.. sad.
thank you for this amazing video, i have my vita for almost 3 years and it's one of my favorite consoles of all time, im happy to see somone who sees throw the hate, and admire the amazing console that the vita is. i subed :D sorry about my english
Nice video. Looking to buy a Vita and I'd love to find a 1000 but they are about $400 in decently used condition. I'll likely grab one from Japan soon.
Nice review and as a PS4 owner I'm thinking of getting one for the remote play option. Is there any difference in lag between the two versions? Is it measurably better than using an Android device and the tweaked remote play app by XDA? (Cymru am byth!)
Bought vita 1000 original with oled screen $90 eBay. Came with two cases and 8gb memory card and charger. It's like PS4 in the palm of my hand.
Damn man thats a sweet deal. Hope you like it :D Thanks for watching!

Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
My issue with the 1000 is mostly the screen's max brightness, it's a portable console, but I can barely see anything if I try to play outside
It's actually still brighter than the LCD Vita. The Nintendo Switch gets pretty bright though. Still not bright enough for outdoor play IMO. You really need some shade at the very least but even that will never be ideal. Too much indirect light.

OLED is the shit, the only advantage of the slim is the battery last longer and it’s super light... both are great, but the OLED definitely looks better ...
Giroto .... Nice write up ... I own both the slim and the OLED, and Love both ... But you make some great points ... The Vita is a great little hand held, shame it didn’t last long, but hey, I’ll be playing mine hopefully for years to come ...
Giroto ....: I hear ya, and no worries I didn’t take it wrong, appreciate your opinion ... I have the nerf protector for my 1000, feels great and protects it pretty well ... And yeah the screen is better, but it’s not like the slim looks bad at all, still a nice LCD screen... The 2000 is also super light weight which is cool ... Honestly I like um both, both have there strengths... Vita is just a great little system, too bad about the dam Sony memory cards though... lol ... I have three 32 gig cards so I’m good, but it’s insane how much they cost... Sony dropped the ball there.. Still love the Vita though !!
Ah no way man, so cool to hear a Welsh person on RUclips! Took me by surprise but it's really awesome :D So am I!
Very nice video bro...
I'll buy PS Vita slim version.
Thanks for guidance.
Excellent video. I like how you're to the point, clear and thorough. Thanks.
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching!
I have the 1000, but the 2000 is so hawt, its jealous
I bought a model 1000 for myself 2 weeks ago and I am loving it as a back up when I have free time while at work during my nightshifts. Money well spent. And Killzone looks and plays amazingly.
I got the 2000 over the 1000 because I heard the screen can burn
Loved the way you pay tribute to this great portable device
I just brought me one in 2016 for the first time. and it's amazing. had to buy a used one. nobody carry's brand new psvita. only online.
Erick Rodriguez did you get the original?... And same, had to get a pre-owned one from GameStop. My psvita has some scratches on the front >

yenvo miyuki Just bought mine off of eBay new. I'm getting it on the 3rd. XD
I got the 1000 model with 3g network. in good condition at GameStop. but I just use WiFi. I literally drove to 5 different gamestops cause they where pretty scratched up.
Erick Rodriguez Yeah you should've checked eBay! I got mine pretty cheap. With two games and a memory card. Do you have psn?
You made many great points and I’ll go with your advice and look for the 1000
the simcard hatch is on the side, dude! that port next to the gameslot has never been used.
Ah yes, so you are right! I haven't really seen many 1000 models so it confused me haha :D
+Respawn Lol!
honestly man..Should I buy one? Im reaaaally pondering getting one but im having doubts
Lakkadaisikal Kreeaytiviti If you can find one, and have a source for physical games, get one! You won't be dissapointed.
But if you can't get a decent memorycard, or games, it is tough to recommend a near dead system.
I got mine on day one and got about 45 physical games and an 8 and 16gb card for digital downloads, so I can play the best games for my taste. Also I got a Vita Tv to cycle most games to the big screen.
If you own a Ps4 it is also quite handy for remote play.
I hope you can make your choice.
I appreciate this Jeff thanks so much..It looks really enticing but I'll have to give it some thought as having a wide variety of games to choose from might prove to be expensive. I'll see what I can do. Cheers.
good video, thanks for the info.
I have a PSP, PSP Slim, PSP Go and looking to get a Vita...
Your video has shown me the differences between the two models, which was a great help!
If you want one, get both over time. I'm recommending a slim first! You're going to have to pay for an expensive memory card anyway, but reliability is a very important factor here. The only thing the OLED has going for it is the contrast on the screen. The charge port is proprietary. That wouldn't have been an issue if it would work properly with even third-party cables. It has charging issues. Also, the OLED screen is highly sensative to burn-ins. As for colors, don't worry about it. The OLED overdoes colors on some content displayed, and the LCD doesn't do enough on SOME things displayed.
The LCD is better for backwards compatibility, as colors do improve over the PSP, and PS1 games. PS2 HD games look great on both models, partially because they're older games. Colors will vary based on the content displayed. Video content is more realistic on the LCD. Most original Vita games fit the OLED better, because of the contrast making it much easier to see environmental details. It depends on the game. The rest are mostly marginal.
However, the slim will last longer, and be more portable. It can use micro USBs, just like Androids. The OLED has a higher quality build, but its heavier as well. I'd say to buy a NEW slim. Try to get a NEW OLED next, if even possible! If not then, carefully buy a USED OLED, but from a trusted seller. Look online, and do research.
Note: Sony doesn't make OLED models anymore. In Japan, they still make slim models. Take that into consideration as well, but be aware of their lack of support, and lacking game library.
thanks for your review bro really good. I'm a gamer from ps1 all over to ps4 pro. and my work now consists of too much travelling and thinking of buying a vita and your video help me decide.
Do you still recommend using the vita in 2017?
Yep, a buddy of mine just picked one up the other day and is loving it. Theres a pretty nice catalog of games :) Thanks for watching!
Respawn No, thank you for this video! It's really helpful. Thank you I subbed. XD
Do Playstation gonna release new model of PSVITA?
Respawn my vita 1000 is coming tomorrow
Kebry Krisaff I don't think so.
So pick the 1000 for home mostly and 2000 if you travel alot
You forgot to talk about battery life (the slim has better battery life cuz the oled consumes more power than the LCD)
Bumble Baytuna yeah I did, I had so much to cover though that it just slipped my mind. My apologies
Respawn it's fine
-nobody ever mentions the speaker difference 👍
Bumble Baytuna Actually the LCD screen consumes more battery but it still has a better battery life
Respawn what's the difference in play time between both on battery ?
Thanks for showing love on the Vita in 2017!
Anytime! Thanks for watching :)
Getting mine on Saturday with 64gb^^!
Alex
OMG 64!?!?!?!?!?!?? Thats EX-PEN-SIVE!!!
but worth it
Alex Add me on psn
Wanna swap for my 32gb? XD
Wanna swap with my 16gb?
Very nice your playstation, beautiful this fitur. Thank for sharing my friend.
Which Vita would I get? Well, obviously, the PlayStation TV/PS Vita TV because you can use it to play PSP and PS Vita games on your TV with an existing PS3 or PS4 controller.
I just bought a vita on amazon a couple weeks ago. Turns out it's the 1000 series. That oled screen really is amazing. Never would have known I had one if I didn't come across this video!
Glad my video could help. Thanks for watching :D
Bought a second hand original Vita today! Can't wait until the postman delivers it!
I have a 32gb sd card that I don't even use in perfect condition, i'd be willing to sell it to you or anyone for 10$ just to get rid of it.
Luke Belecco bought myself one a couple days ago!...... Does urs have any scratches? I got some tiny ones in the front... But ehh not bad!^^
yenvo miyuki Don't think so. It's had a screen cover on it. Anyway, been looking at games on eBay, there are some bargains to be had on there. Though those Japanese RPG games are still quite pricey if that's your thing.
Alan Adams Do you still have it
made me go even more getting a Vitsa myself because i grew up with PS1 and PS2. I been on the Sony Pony since i was a kid and now watching this and seen some games on the vitsa i want to get me one and thanks for encouraging me as well in a good way! :)
I hope you enjoy it! Thank you for watching :D
If your someone who appreciates hand helds, and you really good at looking after them, defo go vita 1000 it's awesome. But if your like wanting it for travel, or for your kids, just go for the slim vita. The worst thing on the older vita 1000 is where the charging doc is, you can play while changing, but I never would recommed that, as it bends the wire out of the port, due to use.idk if the slim is diffrent. I'd also recommed vita if your into hand helds. There's grate games, some rare gems like tearaway.
If anyone dose go for vita 1000 pls don't play whilst on charge, the charging leads are rare to find, if you breake it, it's going to get harder to find these leads, so even if your carefull, maybe get a spare lead now while you still can, cause this machine is awesome, 1000x better then Nintendo ds. And you'll want it for life.
Aguila701 Then I'd suggest the slim
Aguila701 playing while charging drastically shortens battery life just so you know so I would recommend against it Ive had the same Vita for 5 years (oled) and I've only had to replace the battery once (last year)
MH3UME3MP sorry if it sounds like bullshit to you but I speak off of experience NOT what I THINK or what "sounds cool" so its very much true, try reseraching it with your freetime but thanks for the reply anyways😉
MH3UME3MP it's not a myth it's a Fact but by all means be my guest and continue to be ignorant makes me no difference either way, I on the other hand have had vita since launch and definitely know what I'm talking about Mr. Troll
MH3UME3MP u almost had me going mr.troll guy😂😂😂😂happy new year
And the breathing light on the fat one is extremely amazing
Great Video ! but 1 Question Can i Play PSP Games on the Vita! ?
Pls need an Answer
Thanks man!
You cant play physical PSP games on the Vita as it doesnt have a UMD tray. But you can download PSP games from the PSN store. Hope this helped :)
H
+Respawn And all the psp games are on vita?
Yeah
Ok thanks
ive got two oled psvitas i still use mine. i want to get the 2000 model in silver because it looks cool. ive got 64gb memory card.
The only thing that the first vita has against the slim is the brightness .
Seriously besides that nothing else the slim is way better.
When the fuck I’m going to be outside in the sun playing the ps vita .
I use my vita when I’m in the car or my bed or taking a shit.
Buy the slim it’s way better.
I searched a video like this for months. Thanks
I hope you got the video that you want. Thanks for watching!
I have had both, I can tell that I prefer the slim over the fat, believe me, the OLED is not enough to top the slim
@@yodaoncrack325 mmm... it depends, if you are gonna use it as a portable, I would consider the slim, the battery is badass! And having the fat running low on battery relatively fast I would go for a slim, besides, if you are looking for screen quality, you might better consider the Ps Tv and connect it to a good monitor ;)
@Mister Donkey it is mot abiut time, even when new the 1000 is topped by the 2000
yoda on crack did you buy it and notice that’s there’s no difference ?
This makes me want to really got and finally pick up my own. I've been going back and forth on buying the system since it first came out.
I say take the plunge if you have the money and there is enough games on it that interest you. Thank you for watching :)
You have a funny voice lol when you say "vita" lmao
haha my accent makes a lot of things weird xD
Welsh representation 🏴
They missed a trick when they brought the Slim model out. They could have dropped the proprietary memory cards at that point and gone for the micro SD cards.
Does the Slim force 80% brightness on games like the regular vita? It's VERY annoying...
Indigo Foxx only the japanese games do
....you like playing on max brightness?!? If so, then I can see why it would annoy you. Still, 80% is still high. I only play from lowest to 50% so it wouldn't be a big deal to me...
The slot on the top of the fat vita next to the game card slot is not for a sim card. It was an unused accessory port. The slot for the sim is on the back opposite the d-pad.
Remote play is THE REASON to get the vita. All the lack of AAA titles in the world doesn't matter when you can play just about any PS4 game.
I personally bought a PS vita without even thinking of remote play. I've used mine a ton of times and not once have I used remote play. But I do understand it is a big feature for some people. Thank you for watching!
Respawn It does have a great library in its own right, but I'm talking about those who crave AAA titles on the go. :)
You do need decent upload speed at home to do it though. The PS4's networking card is trash so even though 5 Mbps should be plenty, the PS4 itself will only get 3 and you'll struggle. So I'd say you need 6 minimum upload, and 5 download on your wifi hotspot
I have a Original Black Vita 1000, but I really want the Aqua Blue and Metallic Red Vita 2000. Those two colors look so nice.
Henkaku.. JUST FOR HENKAKU
I see u like jojo huh
I was on the fence between the slim and the regular! Going for the oled one. Thanks for the review!
Ohh please. The first party support for the Vita is dead. It is ironic from a console named Vita. Its not even getting Gravity Rush 2...a franchise that was Vita exclusive. The only thing I see in upcoming games for Vita are mainly JRPGs which I am not a fan of.
Then go play your western games. What's wrong with vita being a jrpg machine? Dont like it dont play it. Easy
+Asaru Chaos gladly mate. JRPGs are not my cup of tea. Good for you if you like them
Yea it sucks there won't be Gravity Rush 2 on vita. I recently got rid of my ps4 cus I got convinced I could eventually play it on pc or vita. So that really sucks( missed out on a lot of other cool games too) . But, the rest of your comment was kinda unneeded. If you don't like jrpg, okay, like other guy said "western games".
Yeah its definitely a jrpg machine since it was only successfull in japan.
Vaibhav Shah The PSVITA is so underrated in the western countries
I gave a like because of the tearaway background on the original ps vita. That was one awesome fun unique game. Probably my favorite vita game.
the PS Vita do have some good games but what the people really want is some console quality type games like Battlefield Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Kingdom Hearts Grand Theft Auto Mass Effect Titanfall God of War Far Cry Ghost Recon in in Horizon zero Dawn not those bullshit indie games that look like i can play on my cell Sunday would be better off making a new PS Vita maybe calling it the PS4 go and this time the better graphic card that can run these games I just want and more what we need is a PS4 portable
Well if you have good enough internet it's sort of like a PS4 portable. Remote play. You don't need crazy good internet, just 6 Mbps UPLOAD minimum at home, and 5 Mbps download 1 Mbps Upload on your wifi hotspot.
great video really helped me out a few years back
I love vita! i have the Neon Orange Japan Import, I just really need a new memory card
Awesome, the price of those memory cards are insane though haha. Thanks for watching :)
Great video! I'm going to pick up a used one tomorrow
I have both. 2000 is better.
nope
it isnt
InGigo it is
nope it isnt OLED screens much more better then LCD thats a fact so your false
InGigo nah. 2000LCD looks great. Its comfy on my hands , also lighter and easier to press start and select. Finally I can share charger with phone. Why 1000 need seperate one.
InGigo OLED is better in paper but actual feel doesn't really have big difference.
Thanks for the info, i will keep my 1000 that is almost new for the little use.
watching this on a 1000 vita
TheCrazyN00b1 nice
You helped me a lot,many many thanks to your excellent job...keep up the good work
Im glad to hear that man! Thank you for watching :D
ps vita has 900 games including digital games
Thanks for the review. I've decided on the slim.
Great! Thanks for watching!
I say slim
ender Tails I agree
I have the fat version and I dropped that thing a FEW times, and sometimes it hit the ground HARD (solid concrete floor and pavement and tile floor) and that thing doesn't even rattle like there's anything broken inside. I try to keep my things in pristine condition as long as possible so it's not like I don't care about it, but the few years I've had it and the hits it took and it still works the same way AND functions the same way since the first day I bought it. Every time I dropped it I thought it was done for, but I pick it up and I keep being amazed at the construction of this thing.
This was the last gaming devise I'm going to buy anyway, every couple of years a new console comes out and the previous one gets fazed out and becomes useless, and for the price of two consoles I can buy something that will last 2x maybe 3x longer and probably 100x times as useful. Even a fairly inexpensive laptop can beat a PS4 in total usefulness.
Just the fact that the slim has matte colors is reason enough for me to buy it lol (just got the neon orange). The 1000 with its OLED's "better colors" isn't even a significant reason enough for me to buy it, only to get it smudged after 5 seconds of use, and I don't like to use silicone skins or clear cases because I like my consoles as "pure" as possible.
NeroYorozuya I can understand keeping your things as "pure" as possible but with a portable device like a laptop or tablet or in this case a Vita, you HAVE TO use some minimum of protection. I can tell the difference in the screen and although I love like the idea of customization, I go for internals over externals any day.
D Sandoval I actually still have some protection. I have a tpu case (covers the back and sides) and a hard pouch to store my vita. I really did regret removing the silicone case of my 1000 model because it looked basically brand new for a good 4 years or so, but my little brother doesn't know how to take care of stuff XD
you actually convinced me on getting the PS Vita, seems pretty good even when I wasen't even looking for one
I'm getting a psVita/PSTV For P4 Golden and P3 Portable
Vorad LOL ME TOO XD
+321GAMEOVER nice :D
Vorad Wanna be friends??
+321GAMEOVER alright.
Vorad What's your psn?
Final verdict: you can't go wrong with either! Thanks for illuminating the differences.
Thanks for the commenting and for watching!
mammary cards?
Vaibhav Shah LMFAO
I’m definitely getting a PSVita 1000 WiFi only model for my 21st birthday in a few weeks, definitely the OLED looks so much richer than the LCD panel on the 2000 model, for me it’s gonna be a big jump from my PSP 1000
The ps vita is so sexy! But I still perfer my new 3ds xl by miles.
yeh I just wish ps vita had more support from AAA developers
+Jason K it does have it but its mostly by japanese developers and many of those games dont get localized
+Press_Start2continue Not even Sony makes first party games for it. PS Vita only has indie games to be honest.
Badassmutha100 who said anything about sony? There are other developers that exists, and the vita has a lot of 3rd party games but most don't get released outside of japan
+Recca You're wrong. There is a reason Vita is doing so poor in sales. Because the lack of games it has. You can sit there and tell me "Oh they have Japanese games and indie games" NOBODY cares about those kind of games tbh. And that is why Vita is doings so god awful and 3ds is doing so good
Hey +Respawn i love that video i suscribed and now i know that i dont really nead the slim one but maybe one day i will buy it but anyways cool video and hopefully u will get more suscribers
Yeah man, just get one when you feel you want one. Thank you for watching and hopefully I can get more soon :D
Very informative! thanks!
Great video... And so true. Not only does Vita have TONS of games, but in general, I find the quality of Vita games to be extremely high. You can tell that the companies who develop for the VIta really love the Vita, and the sheer variety of interesting, quirky, and mind blowing games in incredible.
Yes, they are truly high quality. Its great to see the companies who are still developing for the system. They dont just make one game, they make many. It is amazing. Thanks for watching dude!
Watched your video a few months ago and convinced the wifey to get me a vita for Christmas. She ordered me a blue 2000 model and after lovingly asking if we could contact the vendor and swap it for a blue 1000 model, she agreed. fast forward two weeks later. "New" blue vita 1000 comes in and the ac adapter's scratched up, there's dusty stuff in the thumbstick grooves, and low and behold, the right thumbstick only registered 2 input directions rather than the full 360 degrees. Haha that just got sent back to the vendor today and I've ordered a new silver 2000. Here's hoping I get what I pay for this time around. All in all, I think both vitas are fantastic and cannot wait to play mine for the retro games alone. Your Viking accent is rad too, homie.
Thank you for the great comment. I hope you are still enjoying the console. Thank you for watching!
good vid mate . I love my vita i bought one for me and my boy . big uncharted fan and the fact u can be on the with ps4 link up is unreal . graphics are top quality i have the 1000 models and u r right about oled screens fantastic.Good to c vita fans still out there .
I hope you and your boy enjoys it. It is a cool little system. Thanks for watching!
I just bought a used 1000, waiting for it to arrive.
Great review! I've wanted to buy a vita for a long time, I didn't even realize til yesterday they don't even sell them in the stores anymore.. sad.
I bought a Vita Slim, My hands are too big for the 1000.
I modified the console so it has a OLED screen.
Upload a video
@@216jbreez It broke :(
@@duckgoquacc how can your hands be to big for the 1000 and not for the slim?
you help me soooo much, thanx man
thank you for this amazing video, i have my vita for almost 3 years and it's one of my favorite consoles of all time, im happy to see somone who sees throw the hate, and admire the amazing console that the vita is. i subed :D
sorry about my english
I'm glad to give it some love, it's an awesome handheld. Glad you love your vita too and thanks for watching :D
Hi there I was considering buying a vita and this helped make my mind up about what I want
I thank you for helping me to decide
Very helpful thank you
Nice explanation, thanks
Nice video. Looking to buy a Vita and I'd love to find a 1000 but they are about $400 in decently used condition. I'll likely grab one from Japan soon.
Nice review and as a PS4 owner I'm thinking of getting one for the remote play option. Is there any difference in lag between the two versions? Is it measurably better than using an Android device and the tweaked remote play app by XDA? (Cymru am byth!)
Thanks man! I have only used remote play once I think haha, there was no difference though :) I am not sure as I have not used that. Cymru am byth! :D
Respawn great vid man really helped
No worries, thanks for watching!
.
Daniel Alves What was your comment?
u were soo helpful for me buddy tysm man
No worries, glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
You've certainly convince me to try a Vita, I love the idea of remote play. Thanks
Subscribed! Great review my man! PS Vita 1000 all day! Represent!
In my area the 1000 is no longer in stores it stopped being sold you can only get the new 2000.
Neon Orange slim is what u should buy! I got the black model last year and I'm planing on getting the orange later this year :D
