Lady Lilith Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/10/new-ps-vita-model-confirmed-for-us-included-in-borderlands-2-bundle/ Hey Vita fans, we’ve got some great news to share with you today. Since its reveal at the Tokyo Game Show, many of you have asked when the new PlayStation Vita model will be coming to North America. Today, we’re excited to announce the new PS Vita Wi-Fi model (PCH-2000 series) will be available via the Borderlands 2 Limited Edition PlayStation Vita Bundle this Spring. The bundle will include the new slim PS Vita system in black, the first-person role-playing shooter hit Borderlands 2 with six DLC packs, and an 8GB PS Vita memory card – all for $199.99 (MSRP). Click here to see the full gallery The new PS Vita Wi-Fi model is approximately 20-percent slimmer and 15-percent lighter than the original version, with rounded edges to fit comfortably in your hands. The new model comes with 1GB of internal memory built into the system, and its 5-inch front touchscreen has a new high-definition liquid crystal display (LCD), giving you a high quality image that provides the same deep, immersive gaming experience that’s at the core of the PS Vita system. You won’t need to worry about purchasing an extra PS Vita memory card to play Borderlands 2 out of the box – the limited edition bundle comes with an 8GB memory card. Also, the battery life of the new PS Vita system has increased to 4-6 hours of game play, up from 3-5 hours in the current model, and about 7 hours of video play, up from 5 hours from the current model. Extra juice for those long game sessions! Many of you have waited patiently for Borderlands 2 to come to the PS Vita system, and we’re pleased to bring it to you bundled with the new PS Vita model. The game utilizes the PS Vita system’s unique front touchscreen and rear touchpad feature so you can easily zoom and pan on maps, manage inventory, inspect items, and more. You can shoot and loot through Pandora with up to three of your PS Vita-toting friends via Infrastructure online play, and you can also cross save your progress with your PS3. As an added bonus, Borderlands 2 for PS Vita includes six downloadable content (DLC) packs: Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty, Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage, Psycho Character Class, Mechromancer Character Class, Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 1 and the Collector’s Edition Pack. If you haven’t played Borderlands 2 yet, the storyline follows six vault hunters through the world of Pandora in an attempt to defeat the notorious Handsome Jack of Hyperion Corporation. The Borderlands 2 Limited Edition PlayStation Vita Bundle is great for those who are new to the game, or if you’re already a fan, it’s a great way to experience Borderlands 2 again right in the palm of your hands. As with all PlayStation hardware, the PS Vita system has evolved in so many ways in the last two years. At the launch of PS4, we introduced PS Vita system’s innovative Remote Play feature, making it the ultimate companion device for the PS4 system. We know how much all of you PS4 owners have enjoyed it – I know I have. Additionally, we recently demonstrated its compatibility with PlayStation Now, our new streaming game service that leverages cloud-based technology, allowing you to play a variety of PlayStation 3 games on the PS Vita system when the service launches later this year. And let’s not forget the great games launching on PS Vita this year – including Minecraft, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, God of War Collection and The Walking Dead Season 2. Our goal is to bring you more games to enjoy with our most powerful handheld console, and we look forward to announcing new titles for the PS Vita system this year.

deadlygunner18 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Im so happy about this. My brothers vita just broke so he is going to wait for this and he, me and a friend found out you can play with PS3 people on your vita on borderlands 2 . Im going to start a krieg character reach max level and wait. What sucks is that the borderlands 2 for vita does not come with tiny tina (Best DLC IMO). Very excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Weight Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's good to hear that the game will support Cross Save But will the dlc be Cross Buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyperiorx Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) It's good to hear that the game will support Cross Save But will the dlc be Cross Buy? I think Gearbox will be kind and allow it. Edited February 11, 2014 by rhyperiorx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STFUxDxD Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I don't currently have a Vita but lately I've been thinking about getting one. I'm digging the specs on this new model. Sure, no OLED but being lighter, thinner, and having longer battery life easily make up for that IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimydawg___ Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I have a slim Vita. IMO, you're better with the older model. I personally think the screen is better on older models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVader66 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I was thinking of buying an older vita modle but i love the desing of this and also more battery life, I need to get a Vita before Hyperdimension Neptunia PP gets released.

Brawler Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Battery life is a big thing with the vita. My 3DS XL outlasts my vita, easily. If they really step their game up with this newest one I wouldn't pick grabbing it in order to pick up a few adhoc trophies and then trading in my old one.

Parker Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 This bundle includes a digital copy of Blands II with 6 DLC packs and only an 8GB memory card? I doubt you'll be getting much of anything else on that card. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
