New PS Vita Model

The Amazing Spiderman.

Wait, seriously?

Good grief, it's a licensed game for a movie that's over a year old. First they port it to the Wii U this year, and now they're putting it on the Vita? What's the point? I've never seen this happened to a movie tie-in game before.

Seems that removing stuff/cheaping down is a new trend?

Why the switch from OLED to LED?
Is it to expensive for Sony to make a profit off off it?

Maybe they realized that Samsung's OLED is a piece of shit technology. Google "OLED blobs" to see what I'm talking about.

Why does Japan get multi colored vitas I know they make them but where's the love for north america the blue & yellow models look really good & what's the point in vita tv that's why they have cross play.

This is normal on every Vita.
It's called the mura effect.

They should check their handhelds before they send them out this has never happened with Nintendo

well of course Nintendo would not have any problems like this as they do not use OLED. now for build quality issues, Nintendo does have problems with their stuff also. just ask my launch Wii that has shimmering artifacts as the GPU was messed up from WC24 never running the fans and my 3DS XL that has a dust speck UNDER the screen, which means it landed there when it was being assembled. (I noticed it day 1 but it was too late to exchange as I sold my old 3ds to a friend after transferring my stuff off of it to the XL)

tbh, most Vita's that have the blotches/lines are not visible duing 95% of its usage. the only time you ever really notice it is during a loading screen, unlike my XL, which I see the dust particle EVERY time I play it and its more visible with 3d on.

My Vita also has these dark blobs. However, it's not noticeable during the game, and only during times when the screen is totally black. I thought it looked odd, but since it doesn't show up during gameplay, I wasn't too worried. I'm not too happy to know that it's an issue with the screen tech itself. I love the OLED screen and it's beautiful colors, but this is ridiculous. Also to note, I have yet to get any screen burn in, and my Vita has a 10 - 12 hour battery life thanks to the Niko power grip I bought for it.

Annnnnd you got my money Sony.

Besides the screen, you guys have to admit that Sony improved on everything fans complained about.
-Made the rear touchpad smaller.
-Bigger battery life.
-Got rid of the 'mystery port'.
-Made the start and select buttons bigger.
-Built in 1GB of memory.

If it would have kept the OLED, it would be perfect.

Well, this is not the kind of game I'd buy,
but it's nice to have an option, specially considering it's a portable version.

Incredibly rare and grounds for a replacement unit.

Said "blobs" are only visible at specific angles/lighting conditions - if they are visible in normal conditions then your unit is broken and you should be entiteld to get a replacement.

For all intents and purposes, OLED screens are superior to LCD ones in every sense of the word - they have faster response time, larger pixel density, they're brighter and display colours more vividly. The technology is relatively young but bound to be improved - early LCD's were crappy too.

Is that matte black I see? Gimme.

Interesting. My unit doesn't have that bad blobs, but it does have visible burns present around the screen. First I thought it was my screen protector acting up, but it's still there regardless of the protector. Now I wonder if Amazon.com is the best place to ask for the replacement or should I contact local Sony support/retailers (or Amazon.co.uk for that matter as they are closer). Ideas?

If you have a warranty card then you can just as well go straight to Sony, but it will take some time before they analyze the problem and decide whether they should replace the screen or the whole unit. If you want a brand-new unit, contact the reseller which you bought it from over Amazon (unless it was bought directly from Amazon in which case contact them).

What is the life span of OLED screens? I heard they die much faster than LCDs.
