Vita 2000 revealed in Japan! Thinner, lighter, coming in October

During Sony's Japanese press event, the publisher started the event with a big surprise: a redesigned PS Vita. Though the shape is relatively the same, the 2000 Series is 15% lighter, sports a slightly different design, and has one extra hour of battery time. The Japanese version will come in six different colors, too--take a look at the new model below.

No international launch was announced at the event, but it's hard to imagine Sony would keep this sexy new look to Japan. Stay tuned for more information as the press conference continues.
