PS Vita PlayStation Vita New Slim Model - PCH-2000 (Pink Black)
Japan
Item Description
Recently announced at Sony Japan's Pre TGS conference, the PlayStation Vita PCH-2000 is the newest iteration of Sony's flagship handheld. When compared with the original PS Vita, the physical differences are immediately obvious, as the PCH-2000 model is 20 percent thinner, 15 percent lighter and comes in multiple colours. The OLED screen has now been replaced with a 5 inch LCD display - Sony confidently stated that this new screen will still deliver the beautiful graphics found native to the system.The original dedicated power/transfer cable has now been replaced with a micro USB, allowing convienience of use as well as portability; the original power adapter stays with the original PS Vita. With regards to actual battery life, the PS Vita PCH-2000 boast an extra hour for 4-6 hours of active use. More importantly, and perhaps the biggest difference of all is the initial price; the new PS Vita is actually cheaper than the original model even after the price drop of the latter - hopefully fans of portable gaming who have not purchased a Vita can finally take advantage of the proposed 100 Vita titles by the end of 2013.Though admittedly a slow start, Sony hopes to revitalize the Vita brand, especially at a crucial moment just before the launch of the PlayStation 4. For gamers, this attractively priced console is the perfect way to take advantage of all the future cross play Vita/PS4 possibilites if not to just to own one of the most powerful handhelds ever created.

It's a beautiful machine.
This was an impulse buy. I already own a pink Nintendo 3DS (which I still enjoy), but upon hearing about the new PS Vita I was intrigued.
I never really paid attention to the original PS Vita (apparently with a fancier screen), but it seems that it was the right time for me and (the slimmer) PS Vita to meet and create sweet, sweet gaming memories . Oh, the games that I look forward to play in this wonderful gaming machine o(≧∇≦o)
I chose the Pink/Black model because I enjoy my pink handhelds and it seems that the U.S. will only have the Black/Black PS Vita at launch.
I really like the shade of pink for the model. I find it to be a happy, energetic pink. In addition, I'm glad that the side with the screen is black, since personally, I would have found the pink color a bit distracting while gaming.
Overall, I'm happy owner of a Pink/Black PS Vita.

Amazing Handheld
Despite what people say about the Vita, it's a great system. The battery life on this new model is fantastic. I've both the original and this model and I can say the screen is nearly identical. I love the pink color Sony has chosen for the back. Yes, the front is black, but I believe playing games on a console with a bright pink front would make it more difficult on the eyes. I can also confirm that you can play all region games on this system as I live in Australia and have American games as well. Definitely worth the price.
