Quote:The new model will be 15mm in width - 20 per cent thinner than the existing model - and weigh 219g, making it 15 per cent lighter.

1GB of onboard memory will also be included, (Only 1gb ) meaning you won't need a memory card for game saves and smaller downloads.

The new Vita also features an improved battery life (boosted by an extra hour, now up to six hours gameplay time).

And it'll be available in a range of colours yellow, pink, white, gray, lime green and and light blue.

But the Vita's OLED screen has been replaced by an LED one, Sony mentioned.
