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.

[@ArcticWolfOfficial]

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.

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.

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.

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!

You can get an OLED screen on a 2000 model now, There's an awesome plugin for it called "LCD Colour Crunch"

[@handsell17]

Y sí funciona?

[@aKuBiKu]

That doesn't make it OLED it just bumps up the saturation

[@paulosantos9299]

I love and own both of them but I always recommend the 2000 Vita and the reason is simple, longevity. You can do long plays on your Vita 2000 without ever worrying about a damaged screen, your screen will last years upon years looks as sharp as day one. The Vita 1000 inevitably starts getting some "stains", the mura effect and, at least for me, that ruins the experience a bit and on the long run you'll eventually have to replace the screen and, as time goes by, it's harder and harder to get spare parts for your Vita 1000 whereas spare parts for the Vita 2000 are still widely available and are expected to be for a while longer. Don't get me wrong, if you have the money, get both of them, the OLED screen is beautiful, but it simply isn't the best screen for a more "heavy" gamer and it won't last as much.

[@yordan826]

man you may be right but i'll tell you i have had my OLED since launch and still looks like new and there is no stain or discoloration on the screen as you say, granted i'm not a heavy gamer and honestly since the PS4 came out i considerably slowed down my PS Vita usage but still that's 8 years of usage and still going strong.

[@Gravastar7]

I've had my 1000 phat model for years now. When I boot it up, I see the odd darker splodge on a black screen. Once in game it's just like I got my Phat Vita, new yesterday.

[@yordan826]

@@Gravastar7 Actually I was in doubt and i did some testing on my own, when it reboots the screen is fully black and i can see gray dots on some areas, when playing or watching videos is not noticeable however I’m kinda sad and makes me wonder if maybe the screen on my Vita is going bad.

[@x7Votorious84x]

It’s not hard to find a replacement front shell and OLED screen. I bought 4 which are red/blue on eBay and look great.

[@Gravastar7]

@@yordan826 yes. Only when screen is completely black. Also on a pure white screen I see no discoloration at all. Just like yourself, I have fully inspected my Phat, in game. No discoloration anywhere. I only use my Slim model more now. Because I want my Phat Vita to stay in pristine condition, stored away in its case. 😀

Still have my day 1 oled. My fav handheld

[@zacharyworthington1820]

I want one just to have it because when I was little I had dreams of having this console and the original 3DS

[@ricenoodles632]

lol. When I was small I had dreams of owning the original Xbox, and finally being able to play Halo 2 and Project Gotham. Those ads were so cool when I saw them back in 2004-2005ish

[@amorluciano]

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.

[@daddykarlmarx6183]

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

[@David_JA_Noble]

Think slim better : battery gonna be a bit better and less finger smudges on screen

[@stevemclovin1566]

The ps vita first gen do have 2.5 gb of memory used for updates. You just cant access with without custom firmware.

Noone ever tells you that the screen on the oled deteriorates over time and since you cant find new oled anymore it isnt worth it.

Small correction on the original phat PSP 1000. It charges from the barrel port. There is a Mini USB port on it but it's only for transferring data

[@BradYeti97]

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 😁

[@lispn]

thats inly for psp not vita

[@DKaldes]

I bought the oled screen model in 2014, it still works but its scratched and the charging port is bent so it is hard to insert the cable + the charging cable it self is in bad condition. So honestly I would buy I would recommend buying a vita slim, it has longer lasting battery, its lighter and smaller and it has a normal charging port

[@Dass_Jennir]

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.

[@maskednil]

He has a video on how to increase the saturation on the Slim Vita. Check it out.

[@ricenoodles632]

Ppl are paying big bucks for the dual IPS NN3DS XL. The reality is that IPS is very usable and reliable and doesn't suck as some people claim to be. The regular Switch is also IPS and looks perfectly fine. It's not gonna have trash viewing angles like TN.

[@TraceFoxo]

I have the Oled model (since 2014) and it still works, and the screen is amazing.

[@01sidiropoulos]

Just order one with 6 games got the deal special price!! 2019 model let see what it would be😊

[@ikaru007]

The slim Vita also has slightly bigger buttons over the OLED model.

[@AndyPaxTheGameCat]

I have had both. Honestly, I prefer the 2000. Personally, I can’t see a huge difference in the screen. The 2000 is a little lighter, comes in a pretty blue colour and ya, that proprietary charger on the 1000 really sucks.

[@SurrenderedByGraceMinistry]

I am sticking with the slim. I owned both OLED and slim but the buttons on the OLED are small for start and select. I got decent fat fingers jaha

[@justswitched8841]

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.

[@WAGYUUU_]

I bought my PSvita fat from a friend. It only cost $1500 mexican pesos (around $70 dlls, I guess) and it looks almost new. So it was a nice deal.

[@Jumpman67]

I prefer the OLED version. There are some improvements with the 2000 that make certain things better but overall the gameplay experience on the OLED version is superior, in my opinion.

[@jakeotix9044]

I bought my PSVITA OLED in 2017 for £150 - new - and I never used it it basically just sat on a shelf for years, I have gone back to it now and I’m so impressed with it, it made mistakes but it plays incredible games and isn’t that the only reason to buy a console? 👍

[@johntroutman7256]

I'm so tired of reviews comparing vita oled and vita slim, without really comparing them. Did you know the battery life is better on the slim? Did you know the joy sticks on the slim brake easer? Did you know that blu tooth on OLED is a thousand times better than slim? OLED is better quality on the screen and tech but battery. Please test the systems when do a review, how about the load times? Are homebrew the same? COME ON!

[@LethalProtector8000]

I picked up a used Vita 2000 after my PSP 3000 broke. It came with a case, original charger, protectors on both the screen and the touch pad, and a 32 gb micro sd with an adapter. It was already modded but some of the apps were outdated so I did a factory reset and modded it again, so I could start fresh. And I bought another adapter because I had a 64 gb card as well. All of this cost me about 130-140 bucks. Unit was in amazing condition too. It only has some minor scratches on the back. So far, it's amazing. Such an underrated system. I'm having a blast with it. I overall think the 2000 is better. Screen aside, there are far more pros to it than the 1000.
