Two new PSVita colors hit the market today

Here in the west, we don’t have much of a choice when it comes to different colored PSVita and since the release of the slim PSVita all we have is black. At least with the phat PSVita (1000 model) we had black or white to pick from but in Japan you have a wide verity of colors to pick from. Today PlayStation has announced two new colors for the PSVita, Sliver and Metallic Red.

Now these new PSVita come with FW 3.61, so no HENkaku but if you already own a PSVita with FW 3.60 you can get VHBL loaded on to it. By backing up the gamebase and then putting it on to your new PSVita, so you can at least have homebrew and emulators.

Thanks to my good friend @Nzaki0716  we can take a closer look at these new colors.

The metallic red doesn’t look as vibrant compared to what you see in the video. With the metallic red we really don’t have any other stock colors to compare it to, like the sliver PSVita compared too the metal slime PSVita. The only other red PSVita you could compare it with to would be the cosmic red Phat PSVita (1000 model). In my opinion they are in a totally different ball park as the Phat colored PSVita are much nicer then the slim color models.

Now lets take a look at the Sliver PSVita and compare it to the Metal Slime PSVita.

The sliver doesn’t look that bad but when you compare it to the metal slime PSVita it look like a cheap toy paint job but the metal slime is a special made bundle for Dragon Quest builders and cost more then the sliver one.
