Sony has just announced that the ‘2000’ version of their handheld PS Vita is finally coming to the West. Previously exclusive to Japan, the UK retailers are now taking pre-orders for the ‘Slim’ model, which will be released this February (US release details are yet to be announced). Not everyone will agree on its £180 ($300) price tag, and the fact that the system will only come in Black.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has received a bunch of new DLC, including two new gameplay modes, for free.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
I love the OLED, but I see nothing wrong with the new Vita. For starters, it doesn't have the glossy front. Mine gets COVERED with fingerprints and smudge. I have to windex it on a daily basis.
Apart from the screen, there really isn't much difference.
I think the original looks like a more expensive product, where as the 2,000 version looks plasticy, but that doesn't exactly make the system better or worse. The memory is great for holding saves, though you would need a memory card for almost any online purchase or to hold a few updates. The reduced size is nice, but that will vary from person to person. I like electronics being a little beefier and again, this doesn't really make the system better or world.
All things considered, the only reason to not find a 1,000, is if you aren't interested in the Vita at the moment or can find the 2,000 for a lot less.
never really found this to be 'portable' - maybe cuz i have small hands :(
im still on the fence about buying one :/
i know it would compliment my ps4 very well with being able to stream ps4 games to it but are the games really that good? or would i be better off sitcking to my console games on the big screen?
ive not owned a handheld since the gameboy O.O so may end up being a waste of money in my case :/
Lol, that's like asking "apart from its value, why do you like money?"
