B1rvine Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I just got my Xmas / Birthday present. A brand new unopened original Vita ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Last year in Akihabara at the Hard Off store where everything is 2nd hand, I tried out both the 1000 and 2000, I bought the 1000 due to the screen and the ugly purple metallic cover. It just felt more sturdy and I did notice the screen difference. It was about 2000 yen more but was still cheap and looked after very well by it's previous owner, I think the Japanese respect their consoles. So I only have limited 2000 experience but I loved the 1000 so much, 20 minutes later I bought an adapter transforming the 1000 to a micro usb and a 2nd hand 32gb card. So yes the original is a beautiful machine, I try to buy as much hard copies as possible whether it's Japanese, Asia of local. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the consoles. Everything I saw in the Hard OFF/Hobby OFF in Kamonomiya was in immaculate condition and it wasn't just a bunch of modern throwaway items in there. There was a section for audio gear and speakers that included some classic gear from back in the 70's and 80's that looked practically brand new. In the Hobby Off section there were countless toys, models, kits and figurines all mostly in their original boxes. It's definitely a bit of a culture shock coming from the pawn shops in Aus. There was a Garage OFF across the road and when we walked past there was a teenage boy out the back of the workshop repairing and restoring some old push-bikes - in the pouring rain. You could tell they didn't just oil the chains and stick them in the sales rack. Each bike got a total restoration, tune and polish. I have a lot of love for the Japanese. There's an inherent respectfulness for both self and property that you just don't see in the west.

Even bought an iPad as a christmas gift from one of the book offs in Osaka and a few Snes cartridges. The off stores in Japan, denden in Osaka or Akihabara in tokyo is like a dream come true to any gamer. When I bought the 1000, the sales guy was so happy or at least seemed that way. With the ipad they put it through a complete inspection including looking at the screen with the sun reflecting to see if there was any scratches. Oops, topic. For anyone buying a Vita I think you should try both before buying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoagie324 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I personally like the original Vita a little more, just because of the better quality screen and how it feels more 'hefty' and we'll-made. That being said, I do use my Vita slim more just because of the increased battery life and the more universal charging port- even if I forget my vita charging cable, usually someone has a micro-USB laying around that's i can charge my Vita with when I'm visiting relatives or on the go.

stitchesnscars Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 After having had both i would have to vote for the slim. The OLED was nice but the USB pot on the slim was the game changer for me, being able to charge my vita with the same cable that can be charged with everything else i use in life was one of the best move's Sony made. Although this may seem minimal try going online to find the OG vita power cable and be amazed at how expensive it is for the 1st party cable.

Research better. The Vita in that bundle is the original Vita 1000, not a Slim. All evidence so far points to there being no way currently to replace the LCD in the 2000+ with the OLED from the 1000. The screen may be too think to fit inside the case and may have a different connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
