do you think anyone that buys that will use those items in a non-gag, "I have kids" sense?

There's some sick people out there.

On Vita 2000's battery life:

Quote
Last year's Vita gave us around four and a half hours of gaming and Sony has promised at least an extra hour on the new model. In practice, we got up to eight hours of continuous gaming, and that's with brightness at 50 percent, WiFi on and several downloads during testing. This rocketed up to more than 12 hours when we played through less-intensive PSP and PS1 games. That's substantially better run time than we saw on the first Vita, and it beats Sony's own estimates, too; a pretty respectable run, we'd say. While we didn't time it, more casual use lasted around two days, and you can expect video playback to last roughly half a day. Regardless of whether you're thrilled to see LCD replace that OLED screen, we think the battery savings are worth it.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/18/new-playstation-vita-review-2013/

Does OLED really draw that much more power than an LCD display? Vita 2K sounds pretty nice in terms of battery life, standard mini USB, weight, and colour availability but that screen ... :kobeyuck

I always thought oled used less battery than lcd because black pixels weren't emitting any light. But what do I know

but that screen ..

i keep seeing this and i can absolutely guarantee that anyone seeing the screen in real life will go "wait, this is frigging fine! what's the issue with this?!"

people are comparing it to one of the greatest screens ever made - it's still an absolutely great screen. Also - the "washed out colours" issue is solved by dropping the default brightness down and , as noted, the battery life is WAAAAY understated. 1 extra hour my ass.... try 3 to 4.

Also it's not like there are that many people that can compare the two. If you've only ever held the new one you'd probably think it looks just fine.

And that's why.  And what's the deal with that Wipeout comparison if that's the case, DC?  It looked like a huge color difference.

I like seeing that the battery life is much better, however, but I'd also like to see some real test results.  Reading that there's a big improvement in this area makes it a much more attractive system.

The short version: we preferred the OLED. Not only are the blacks blacker on the OLED (it's what we always say about OLED and AMOLED, but it's no less true), but also in-game colors appear more washed out and less vivid on the LCD. What's more, when we lay the two devices next to each other, everything on the LCD panel has a slight yellow tinge to it. If you drop the brightness down to the minimum, the LCD loses a lot in viewing angles, while the OLED model fares perfectly fine. At top brightness, it's more difficult to discern any drop-off in viewing angles. Even then, though, the difference between color reproduction on both devices is fairly obvious.

Cranked to full, the original Vita shows a bluish overcast on white backgrounds (see above), while the new Vita shows more accurate colors, at least while displaying photos and websites. In the middle of a game, though, we'd prefer everything on the screen to pop, and the OLED display does this best. But will you notice? Perhaps not.

Interesting.  But my focus for now is on the Vita TV, not the 2000.

Famousmortimer implied that Vita 2K will launch with a price cut in North America. I'm not sure SCEA will pull $149, but $179 should be guaranteed.

$179 with a memory card bundled would be good.  A twenty dollar price cut by itself is just laughable.

and when I get a 2000 I'll try to fix my old vita.   pretty sure the problem is a loose ribbon cable.

Well, Vita 2K comes with 1GB internally (lol). Throw in a game and that's a decent value at $179. Of course IIRC current 4GB bundles retail for $199 ...

tbf it depends on the SKU since you have the bundled versions (game and 4GB memory) going for the same price as the standalone.

also I forgot to say that they need to drop those fucking memory cards again (and honestly that would go a bit better with the supposed lower price)

I assume Dishonored is just a rumour? I mean - i'm still twiddling my fingers waiting for Elder Scrolls PSP :/

It's awesome for being so dumb.  It's like how 3DS has a hidden 3D Gameboy border for virtual console games.  I like these dumb emulation quirks.  Whenever Nintendo gets around to adding GBA to virtual console, there better be a virtual e-reader.

At least early on you need to get every single coin that pops up.

I can't play that game for like a month because I cheated the timer by setting Vita's clock ahead to get coffee without waiting, but when I updated the firmware it reset it back to proper time.

How often does coffee refresh? 1 every 24 hours? Even Montezuma's BeJeweled wasnt this bad.
