PlayStation Vita Slim Hits The UK Next Week

The thinner, non-OLED version of PlayStation's latest portable makes its way from Japan to the UK next week. As we ponder a North American release, PlayStation Access celebrates with a Vita model comparison music video.

The Vita Slim launches in the UK on February 7 with a suggested price of £180 (rougly $300). PlayStation Access was also kind enough to provide their own unboxing — you know, for the kids.

So yes — it's lighter, thinner, cheaper feeling, and it's inclined to move in a westernly direction. The closer it gets to North America, the more pleased I am that I purchased the more substantial version while it was still a thing.
