Sony has announced that its PS Vita Slim (PCH-2000 model) version of the handheld gaming console will be hitting the UK on 7 February at a price of \u00a3180 (\u00b1R3,300).<\/p>\n

The PS Vita Slim was first revealed in September 2013 and went on sale in Japan in October 2013.<\/p>\n

Ster Kinekor Entertainment, distributor of Sony products in South Africa, has said they have no information about the PS Vita Slim and its availability in SA<\/strong> at this point.<\/p>\n

The PS Vita Slim is 41g lighter than its big brother, 3mm thinner, and has a 960×544 IPS LCD screen (a trade-off versus the original’s OLED screen).<\/p>\n

1GB of storage has been included, only accessible when no memory card is inserted. A micro USB Type B port has been added, for charging via standard cables.<\/p>\n

Battery life has also reportedly been improved, offering up to 6 hours versus the up to 5 hours of the original.<\/p>\n

The original PS Vita will be phased out beginning January 2014.<\/p>\n
