Honestly, if you're buying a Vita at this point, just find one that's decently priced and in good condition.
agreed, i won a ps vita 1000 series but the seller didnt mention the analog sticks were bad, Its almost impossible to find another 1000 series stick that i can see. im a bit sad
@@t0p_snek407 Sounds like you got ripped off. I'd try to get my cash back.
@@mr.s9783 oh ive got the sticks coming to replace it. For how cheap i won this thing i was gonna expect problems. Gives me an excuse to tear into tech and see how it works lol

Just mine two days ago, and I'm in love with this big little machine
You will really enjoy it

Where r u guys buying it? I really want one but I don’t know what to buy... ps vita? PSP??? What is the best?
I was bought a Vita 1000 as a Christmas gift back around 2014 or 2015. I never used it seeing I wasn't really into mobile gaming anymore. It's now 2021 and I'm so glad I decided to never get rid of it and stored it in original box. I have it completely modded with enso now. I definitely recommended the OLED screen. Works beautifully.
Got my OLED 2 years ago on facebook market for $50 Canadian. It came with 16 gb memory stick card. Still in mint condition. I guess I got lucky.
Dude you are lucky, My local vitas are 465 Ca
A Person Eating Bread yeah but that’s also because they’ve just recently gotten super popular again. Like they’ve always been underrated but now people WANT a vita. Especially even now with some games being able to run properly through n64 emulators

What steal!!
dude that explains why I can't find a vita for under $200 here in Houston. they are super expensive, even going for over the og launch price and I want one hacked which makes them even more expensive. If I buy a non-hacked version would I be able to hack it myself?
You could NOT Charge the PSP with the USB cable UNLESS the system was put into USB charging mode which meant if the system was dead, you couldn't use USB to charge it. You NEEDED the round DC charger
no shit
@@lithuanianballer3859 well the guy in the video said you could. Which is incorrect
I thought I was trippin.. NO WAY was usb the primary charging for the psp loll
Wow thank you, when he said that I was like, wait did I really just use a normal cable? Thought for sure there was some special thing that I lugged around...
my ps vita was bought as a used one and my dad bought it for me from gamestop and my friends ps vita stopped workin (he was the one who convinced me to get one) he gave me his memory card which was 8 gb
so im glad i got amazing people in my life

I bought my OLED Vita (which has SIM card slot) way back in mid 2015 which cost me $100 in ebay. I still enjoy the games I have and been hunting physical games in pawn shops around the city I live in. Greeting from Seattle!
Man this guy makes great videos. I already have a vita, still watched the whole ting
Thanks dude!
@@TechSavvyBuyer Hey I've been wanting to get my psvita fixed for awhile I was hoping that maybe you could check it out, I don't mind paying.

@@TechSavvyBuyer keep up your amazing viedo
I went OLED simply because I rather a pretty screen over battery life.
I went Slim.
I use the Vita as a Legit Handheld.
So imo battery is better than Screen.
But it rlly is about how you will use it.
Smart choice!!! OLED, best model made period!
I have 2 OLED models one 3G purchased at launch and white Wifi model. Never had interest in slim version looks and feels cheap
Nah, Don’t play that bullshit card we both know that we want that thicc busty vita. Honestly had both felt depressed and switched back to Thicc busty vita. She smooth and responsive asf, the other side chick lived longer but didn’t pleasure me at all. She wasn’t smooth and responsive at all.
Utoobyourself Are you selling the 3G? Willing to buy for 150$ NO SCREEN BURNS, SCRATCHES, Buttons issues and analog issues.
Hey Ripper, Thank you for your interest. I use both of my Vita’s and not planning on selling them atm. Maybe in 2-3yrs 😆
Honestly the 2000 is amazing. So lightweight, better brightness levels, no burn in or splotches on the screen, better battery and ergonomics... I almost didn't buy it because of it being a 2000, but I'm loving it and I'm glad I didn't pass it up.
My OLED vita looks good but in dark scenes I can see these lines across the screen. It’s been like that since I got new. I don’t know if it was a manufactured defect but I use my Slim Vita way more I love it way more and the screen is not as nice but I like how much more light weight it is. Using the OLED vita for an hour my hands start to hurt with the Slim I can game for a like 4 hours and my hands don’t hurt. Plus the screen is way brighter then the OLED.
@@ryans413comprei agora a minha PSVita!! A versão 2000! Animado para testar :D achei linda, parece uma consola tão recente!! Nunca tive uma, apenas a PSP
I bought the slim and the reason is because the slim looks much better in my opinion and also it has a lcd screen meaning that I don’t have to worry about screen burning. Nice video
I am waiting for my slim to arrive over the next few days from the Bay. I'm excited about the prospect of modding it and love the fact that it is truly portable. I have an original Switch that I love but its not as commute friendly.
A few other things about the 2000 model for anyone still looking to buy;
The speakers on it are much, much better than the 1000, and its also a lot lighter than the 1000 model. The shoulder buttons in particular are much tighter and a little more tactile, so they wobble less and have a little more feed back when clicked. The battery is also a little better as well.
One last thing, If you mod your vita, there is a way to tweak the saturation and such to make the 2000's screen look a lot closer to the OLED screen, to the point where it _almost_ rivals the OLED.
Thanks for the information.Now I know which vita i'm gonna buy now

Great review, very concise. Love the studio you have and some of the tech show pieces in the background.
I had the 2000 version a few years ago. Sold it a few months later. Kinda missed having it again so I recently ordered a white one OLED screen one this time. Can't wait to get back on it.
Now that you have the white oled, which one do you prefer?
There is battery difference between the two. The newer Vita have 1 hour longer battery time.
Thank you for the video 🙂
And if you get the nyco grip with the built in battery for the slim Vita you add another hour or two to that extra hour giving you a very long lasting Vita. Lol
Not if you upgrade it to one with 4000mah.
Nice vid! I own both vitas. I was able to get the OLED one in pretty good condition at GameStop when they had a sale going on! Got it for $60! No regrets!
Wow that's a steal!
i remember in 2013 little me wanted one and gamestop had this event the amount of a s you had you got times ten in% off i prepered and had 6 so i got a nearly not used for $50
Great review! I recently picked up a 1000 Vita Japanese model in Sapphire blue with a 16GB memory card for $195. I already have a regular black 1000 OLED Vita and a black Slim Vita. I’m happy with my collection.
I have a psp Go from my uncle and have been thinking of getting a ps vita. Video was helpful so thank you.
Damn love your setup snd style, so me haha with the retrowave music!!
I bought two 1000s a few months ago based on recs from channels like this. A 'new' PCH-1000 from Japan and a used PCH-1101 WiFi version from a Gamestop that I was able to see myself before buying. I don't regret it at all.
Hey there. So after watchin every one of your ps vita videos you really convinced me to go get one. And I found an oled model almost brand new with not even a little scratch on it for around 90$. And I’m surprised why i haven’t got this devide before! And also just thanks for all the content you made for modding and other stuff. Keep up the great work ✌️
A video about the underrated ps vita *_* I love you channel
Also noticed that the side by side comparisons have different color themes. The blue is not that washed out. However if u compare the orange and red icons you can see the OLED has much more vibrant and colorful colors.
I got a previously owned OLED Vita in an impressive condition. I think the owner used a couple of hours and then decided to sell it. Got it for about 100 US dollars. Muramasa looks simply amazing on it.
Thanks for your technical know how on gadgets
Want to get one for myself for Christmas. Thanks for the vid, now i know the difference.
I got a few of the OLEDs about a year ago because the VITA is a portable juggernaut. From what I read about the screen limitations for the slim getting the 1000 was a no brainer.
I got 14 Vitas now! 10 model 2000 and 4 model 1000 I started collecting them back in 2012 when I got my first one in college. My first one's screen got destroyed at work due to an accident the same year I got it so I got another one and the replacement still works to this day!
Purchased a new oled back in the day for $160. Beautiful machine. I kept it mint, but hadn't played it in a couple of years. Watched your videos and thought to mod it. Bought a 2nd one from a sony factory refurb and its in really nice shape. No scratches on the front and back but some minor scratches on the aluminum looking frame. $129 for these. (MDG in Canada if you're interested). Wanted to use this one to hack and mod first. Just got in 3 SD2Vita cards (I have a vita TV as well) and now they're all rocking 128Gb and homebrew, game downloads, emus . I forgot I even have a switch!!
Just picked up a 1000, can’t wait for it to arrive 😁
This, is the wrong question my friend. The right question is how soon can you get an oled vita in your hands?
Got mine 2 days ago!! Glossy white
@@MadnessMan13 Congrats, bro. You will love it.
Jimmy Reboudo I imported a white one from Japan because it’s cheaper and the controls are more Nintendo like on it. Modded that boy and have a 128GB microSD in it now after getting a good deal on a 4GB memory card.
Don Merrigan I just ordered one yesterday but I saw another for a good price so now I have 2 coming lol
@@McOuroborosBurger Hey sir, Can you suggest me a place to look for giod deals on vuta. I have been desperately looking for one to use
I bought both. I use both equally. The slim model get more remote play use only because I'm still looking for a decent and affordable grip for the oled model. Thank you for displaying my favorite scrolling classic "Super Ghouls and Ghosts" in the background. The game is also on the Capcom Classics Reloaded compilation for PSP if anyone want to play it on the Vita.
NAILED IT!!!!!! thanks man
great video man really cleared up a lot just ordered an oled cuz i’ve been missing the vita for some reason lmao gamer cravings be getting the best of me too often lmao
I do have a basically brand new OLED model, but I kinda also want a slim model. Just such a good handheld.
I love these videos you’re the reason why I love the vita ❤️
Me too

hi, I'm getting my ps vita OLED model in few days. I've been waiting for my own vita for few years already and I'm so hyped for it. Such an underrated system.
I just bought an Oled vita for 100, excellent review now I just can’t wait for it to arrive
I recommend the PS Vita Slim (AKA PS Vita 2000) because there is a grip add-on from Hori which prevents you from touching the slim Vita's rear touchpad in non-touchpad Vita games and PSP games.
I got the OLED since the Slim was apparently more expensive than the latter. Came with a case, 8gb card, box and all accessories for a $100 flat. The slims were $150+ but I wanted the phat anyway, so I don't regret it at all.
I bought several days ago a slim for 90 euros...
Just what I needed. Subscribed.
I just discover your channel and i hacked/mod my vita today using your videos. Man, I'm in love with your videos 😍
I have both , love these ❤️ I use oled for first party vita games and lcd for retro emulators
Why do you go with the lcd for retro game? Genuinely curious
Robert Fitzpatrick no real reason haha I just wanted to give both of them use 🤣
Having used both I actually find the oled screen to be a bit too vivid. It's like they boosted the saturation a lot to show what the oled is capable of. While the lcd screen leans a bit too much to the washed out look I still prefer it. If it's modded you can also change a couple settings which makes it almost as vibrant as the oled. You'd still be missing the perfect blacks, but every other color will look almost as vibrant, and more color accurate. You also get better definition in dark greys without the green noise or mura that you get with the oled.
I was sold on the OLED, but now I think I'll be going with a Slim. Thanks for the video!
This man is my hero. Best review I’ve ever heard 👏👏
2:42 i love the charging port on vita 1000. Its big and pop in easy.
Me to
Same even tho I’m more of a Nintendo and Xbox fan I have the oled ps vita
Seems a lot more durable than micro USB.
Great video man. Huge fan. Ironic because a big reason I bought my ps vita 2000 late last year was because of your channel. Literally 2 days ago I gave in a bought a 1000 model for the OLED screen. Super happy that I own both now. I’d have to say that the OLED makes the 1000 the superior version imo (onboard storage aside)
You can make 2000's screen way better, if u jailbreak it.
@@enzogamesbrasil3714 still not as good as the OLED.
Great video, excellent audio!
I love my 1000 model I just bought it and it’s in mint condition And I got it super cheap with the box I think he took really good care of it all these years thanks for the review
I believe the one least used and with best price-quality ratio.
I want one just to have it because when I was little I had dreams of having this console and the original 3DS
I have both vitas and use it most days. I didn't need to watch this video but still did!:-)
Ty for the video!
I got a new slim vita 2 years ago for 90$, and to be honest, if you don't compare it side by side to the oled vita, the IPS display is actually quite wonderful in its own right. It has very nice natural colors, great viewing angels, minimal ghosting. overall. Get whatever you can find, because you will be pleased either way.
its comes down to do want a brighter screen more natural colors
I picked the slim because the screen doesn't get the dark spot's on the screen and it doesn't screen burn as easily
I have both and the OLED burns sucks.
thanks for the review
Great Video! Thank You!👍

Thanks man for the information i wanted to go buy a vita and didn’t know which one to get.
one reason to get the 1000 model is the analog sticks, the 1000 sticks are magnetic sensors. and will not drift like the 2000 model or the switch.
I still have my oled 3G vita, after jailbreaking it the system is actually pretty good
How?
@ By making it possible to play vita games on a pc screen
Your vid on hencore helped me alot
I purchased a second hand OLED model, but I only use it for my US PlayStation account. My main Vita is the 2000 model. The screen isn't as good, but the trade off for battery life and better WiFi reception proves more worthwhile in the long run.
I just bought an oled model from ebay because I prefer its build quality over the slim,I much prefer the extra weight it has over the slim,anyway I'm really enjoying my vita,their really is plenty of awesome games to play that look fantastic even now in 2020
Just order one with 6 games got the deal special price!! 2019 model let see what it would be😊
I have the Oled model (since 2014) and it still works, and the screen is amazing.
Just got one recently and went for the LCD one, simply because the OLED display burns in after a while of usage. Sometimes with visible mark spots new from factory... Yes, better screen, but not for too long, unfortunately - or I guess, that was the reason for going with the LCD on the slim version. Also the micro usb is much better than that random proprietary cable that I have no other use for it...
Wrong.
@@fabio78 What's wrong that the Oled burns in after a while?... Or that the generic USB cable is a better option than the property sony plug?... Well do your research and find out....
@@ScutuRC.my God, you're just parroting what you hear from the Internet fear mongering. I have a model 1 Vita which I bought in 2011, with heavy use. I have a Pixel 6a phone, and LG B9 TV, a Switch, all with an OLED screens and constant use, not a shade of burn in. Just Google a UA-camr called Wulff Den. He left his Switch constantly on for months, without switching it off even for a second, with a static image and burn in only appeared after 36000 hours. How's that to tell you the burn in paranoia is utter bullshit? The first OLED screens back in early 2000s sure, not the Vita, not everything else since. The risk of getting burn in is the same as CRTs and less than plasma. Sony removed the OLED for the slim for costs, it's a known fact, stop dreaming. You got the worse deal, maybe you're fine with your LCD because you got used to it and never put both models side by side, but the difference is night and day, especially the poor LCD they put on the Vita. It has low contrast, sad and washed out colours and the screen persistence is awful, blurring everything when moving the camera fast. Sorry.
@@fabio78 Oh, wow, I'm not gonna read all that, no time for it! But yeah, I have my own experiences and I learned what I learned from them and I'll keep that! You,.. you are free to believe whatever!
@@ScutuRC you don't have any experience apart from reading shit on Reddit. I do have experience because I have OLED screens, you absolute clown ;) Bye now x
The internal memory in the slim model is less significant than many may think... you are going to want a memory card, regardless.
yeah it is, but the slim is my pick
Amazing review! Straight to the point about the Vita's
Got my own OLED way back I the day, so happy I never got rid of it
As an OG owner back in '11 and a current 1000/2000 owner... Slim all the way. The form factor, weight, internal memory, matte finish (on my model, anyway) are all exceptional. The screen isn't a problem, no matter what people say. The 1000 was oversaturated and the LCD feels more natural. Plus, the battery life is great. As someone with mild OCD, not having to remove fingerprints all the time is a plus as well. Also, for whatever reason it boots and shuts down faster... not sure why, as the internals are the same.
I have both the 1000 and 2000. Can you guess what one I use more. If you said 1000 your wrong the screen is nice but the thing is bulky and kinda heavy and it hurts my hands after an hour of use. The 2000 is so slim and light I used it for 4 hours straight on a plane and my hands didn’t hurt once. The slim vita the screen is way brighter better too use on sunny days or if you like to game sitting outside.
@@ryans413 Whenever I see the other colours available it almost makes me want to buy another 1000x series - man, you’re amping me up! Lol
When I bought the vita back in 2015 when I was a 14 year old who wanted to spend his savings, I honestly didn’t research and went straight for the slim model without knowing the differences because it was the one on sale. I don’t regret it at all, it still gives me hours of entertainment, games like Uncharted look gorgeous despite the screen not being the OLED one, I don’t have to worry about my charger breaking because it’s micro usb, it’s light and super comfortable, I remember holding the phat vita of one colleague and noticing quite a difference in weight. The only downside I would say I had with it is that in the past couple of months I’ve been experiencing drift in my left analog from time to time, which apparently is a common issue with this model, but ever since I applied some compressed air down the dust guard when recommended, the problem seems to have been fixed. Also, buy screen protectors, scratches love to appear on these things out of nowhere no matter how much you take care of them.
He has a video on how to increase the saturation on the Slim Vita. Check it out.
Thank you for the good video. I Ordered mine up a couple days ago. Got it for $200 canadian.
Just got a Vita yesterday on the Facebook market for $50 it was it good condition. I was hesitant to buy because it was out of power and I believed it was broken. I still bought it, it was the oled version with a couple games. End up buying a used charger in a game store right after to test it and an hour later I find out it actually works. Just didn't come with a memory card so I'm looking into modding it.
I got the OLED one for $50 plus 7 original games ,the only issue is that in my area there's no protective cases available online/offline . Neither are the spv adapters any cheap. So there's a few issue. But the OLED one has punchy colours and I'm totally satisfied
$50 for all of that, awesome deal. Total steal.
@@leecroft7311suprised this guys bank account wasn't stealed
It's definitely worth mentioning that a major drawback of an OLED screen is burn in. If you play games that have static images on the, like a map, there's a chance that it will get burned into the screen. If you've ever had an OLED phone, like a Samsung, you'll notice this if you use the GPS in the car. I've had phones with horrible burn in and will go LCD any day.
Yes, you can replace it for relatively cheap. I'm technically inclined and could replace the screen without hassle but others who aren't will suffer from having to deal with it. Also, there will come a time where quality replacement parts will become scarce and expensive.
Yeah I owned a Samsung with oled and the worst thing is the home menu cause if you have the apps in one place for longer time (like 2 months) everytime you go to home screen it's burning your oled nightmare to watch videos on it
Looking on Reddit, people seem to say it's not much of an issue at all. The only issue is the mura(?) effect where black spots are visible when the screen goes dark, but only when the screen's dark, and not during normal gameplay.
it's definitely an issue when it dims down. you're gonna see it. and it's gonna be worse as it is continuously
Bought Slim PCH-2016 for 110$ on Ebay yesterday. Eagerly waiting for the shipping 😁
I got a brand new 3G OLED model a couple of years back when I came accross a small electronics store in one of my trips. It was bundled with a remote play grip, a 64GB memory card, a Sony branded carrying case and six physical games, Golden Abyss, Killzone Merc, LBP, Tearaway, Sly Racoon Thieves in time and Persona 4 Golden, everything sealed in their original packaging! I paid 130 moolah, took off and never looked back. The guy didn't know what he was selling!! I wasn't looking for one but I just couldn't ignore this deal. Now I'm a huge fan of this little undead gem of a system!
The PSP didn't have a USB charging port. You're wrong. It had a rounded plug charging port.
The USB port could only be used for data transfers, not for charging.
Thanks for the correction
I used to be happy with my slim Vita with LCD, until I bought a nice used OLED Vita. honestly, I cant go back to the LCD. imo, the OLED is 100x better, i mean its not even close. never realized how good that Vita OLED screen was until I got one
I still have my OLED one, my dad bought it for me for Christmas lol best present I ever got still till this day!
Nice video👍💪
The Vita Depends on how you will use it.
If you will use the vita as a Home Console then get the OLED.
If you want to use the vita on the go then get the Slim.
*cries in already ordered the OLED version*
What are the other pros and cons for each?
About my other reply, it never came in the mail. Never ordering from Ebay again.
@@rowboat0012 yo you have reported that to Ebay yeah??!
You can get an OLED screen on a 2000 model now, There's an awesome plugin for it called "LCD Colour Crunch"
Y sí funciona?
That doesn't make it OLED it just bumps up the saturation
Nice Odysseus Retro like song in background.
Just picked up a near mint condition gen 1 vita for 40 GBP. Going to mod it soon. Cant wait.
I've got a moded slim it's rad
That blue one is beautiful , masha'alaah 😍
Bane μασιαλα 😁
i waiting on my oled saphire blue one rn im so excited
Had mine since launch when I was 11 but couldn’t afford games unfortunately so I held onto it and I’m glad I can jailbreak it and enjoy what my younger self couldn’t
Pretty sure the mini USB port was strictly for data transfer and the charger itself was one of those barrel jacks. In fact, it was because of that reason I managed to get 2 PSPs for £20 total because "they wouldn't charge". An absolute bargain 😁
thats inly for psp not vita
I owned both .It was great while it lasted the oled model was definitely better. I got a switch lite now. I just like having a lot of games and knowing more games are coming in the future.The vita was kinda disappointing. Most of the games were just ports from ps3 and it costs more.
Great video, I'd love to buy the PS Vita ( Slim model ) and put in all my favorite games and stuff
I hope I can find a good deal
I wish I had a PS Vita slim I want to have the blue one I was trying to look for one but my mom said they’re not around here anymore and I feel like in the future I will get a blue PS Vita And I also love your channel You’re really cool
I think overall the slim is better, thinner, lighter, don't have to worry about memory cards, longer battery life, universal charger, longer lasting screen, however despite all these improvements, the OLED screen can be a pretty big deal, if you can only have one if probably recommend the 2000 for size, ease of use, and longevity. However I'm fixing a 1000 and I'll be using both, I think I'll mostly use the 2000 as a travel buddy seeing as it's smaller and has a longer battery, but I'll use the OLED at home for the best experience
