    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.

    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 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.

    • @DamilolaOlugboji

      literally the only advantage of getting a 1000 is the screen and it's honestly not that big of a deal. Plus OLED has a shorter lifespan overall

      In lcd model, i washed it a little too i think its more water proof than it.

    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.

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 !!

  • @baldguywithbeard
    @baldguywithbeard 7 років тому +4

    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.

  • @epicgameRAAM15
    @epicgameRAAM15 7 років тому +3

    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.

      @HugoStiglitz88 6 років тому +2

      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.

    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.

      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

      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.

    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.

      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.

      @zgmf-x19ainfinitejustice28 7 років тому

      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.

    • @dsandoval9396
      @dsandoval9396 7 років тому

      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.

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!

    I agree that the fat ver. (1000) looks more premium than the slim.. also its OLED which gives more visual quality..

      Without a doubt. It also feels a lot better too. Better grip and the metal edges make it a lot more durable. I've dropped mine without any issues.

    im still really happy with my vita.with games like Blazblue, Persona 4, ninja gaiden sigma,god of war, and remote play you can do alot with it. i haven't found a ps4 game that doesnt work on remote play yet. i can play 2k madden SFV FFXIV anything i want on it. but because of the lack of support for it i wouldn't recommend paying full price for it. i found one on Craigslist for like 140 and it came with 2 games a memory card and a carrying case. good video btw

      Thats great. The Vita is awesome and deserves the love us Vita fans give it. Thanks for watching, dude!

    I think the better battery life, on board storage and micro USB charging(easy to find cables for) makes the 2000 the better buy.

    1000 is my baby. I purchased it ages ago and I don’t think I have loved a gaming console anymore than this. Not to mention the weight gives a nice feeling and it’s so much fun to play on it. The slim looks like a cheap version which I don’t really like not to mention the better screen and sound. Slim is cool and all but I love my 1000.

    Going to get a Vita Slim today. I wanted one for years, and overall, i love the look more, plus i hate over saturated colors. Color accuracy for me all the way :)

    You have actually just convinced me to buy a vita. Honestly I just picked up my psp today after about 8 years, realised again how much I loved it (albeit the screen resolution bugged the hell out of me) so i started googling the ps vita. I had no fucking idea you could play psp games on the vita! let alone ps1 games! So thankyou for this video man.

    • @RickyRespawn

      Im glad you like it man! Hopefully you continue to enjoy it. Thank you for watching :D

    Completely agree with the video, both models have its ups and downs but you cant go wrong with either one. I actually own both thou I prefer the original because the OLED screen its just too gorgeous. I didn't knew about the sound comparison never did that I was surprise to see it here and notice the difference that was something neat. PSVita is a gem of a system new games are still coming and even if they stop coming as of tomorrow there are hundreds of games both physical and digital to play, everyone that doesn't own one don't know what they're missing.

    • @RickyRespawn

      Yes, both are great systems :D It certainly is a gem, I wish more people would appreciate it. Thanks for watching though man!
