PlayStation Vita Wi-Fi Light blue/White PCH-2000ZA14(Japan Import)

I was at first a bit concerned with ordering a Japaneses system to play North American games but right after activation the first prompt is language selection followed by signing in to your PSN. I had no issue with anything from using my PSN to downloading games via wifi. The only notable difference is the X and O have swapped functionalitys which doesnt matter at all for using Western games as the controls are mapped to the button so the system menus are the only place its even noticeable. So if your not Japanese and not a person who has a tendency damage/drop your portable devices its a nice change from the standard black but Im not sure its covered by foreign warranties, so be careful!!!

As a owner of the previous model I am not disappointed with this redesign in anyway. I had my black vita for nearly a year now and it has served me well. too bad I got it and shortly after a newer model was announced. once I heard of its OLED to LCD downgrade I didnt want to upgrade. Then again this was a new opportunity own a newer vita. since the color scheme is limited to boring black in the US I chose this beautiful light blue/ white and ordered it. the design feels a whole lot better with a sleek new rounder edges. it is noticeably thinner and rounder with bigger finger resting pads at the rear. a problem with the previous model with certain games that accidently activates the rear touch pad leading to cumbersome gameplay( im looking at u Snake Eater HD!!) . after slapping on the screen protector I turned it on and the LCD screen wasnt really a huge difference from the OLED it just seemed paler in color not as sharp with colors. another feature I needed to have was that it takes a mini usb cable instead of its clunky cumbersome proprietary cable. its a less hassle just taking one cable to work now yay. as for the battery it does seem to last a little longer but then again this vita is still relatively so new maybe a future update will be more accurate. overall the size, battery life, mini usb and a LCD screen does make this worth a purchase.

I bought this vita because I really loved the color and I bought a few titles before I sold my last one. When I got it charged and put my memory stick in to play Freedom Wars, I noticed the right analog stick was unresponsive. I ended up buying a replacement stick and it works like a charm now!

Wow, what can I say about this. It was a pleasure importing this color. Sony hasnt cradled its vita like the PS4, but my favorite use for the vita is all the digital titles, ps1 games, and niche vita games. You cant go wrong with this handheld.
