Other regions in the world already have the lighter and slimmer PS Vita (PCH-2000) to enjoy. Come later this Spring, those in North America will also get the new model and it will come bundled with Borderlands 2.
The new PS Vita Wi-Fi model is approximately 20-percent slimmer and 15-percent lighter than the original version, with rounded edges to fit comfortably in your hands. The new model comes with 1GB of internal memory built into the system, and its 5-inch front touchscreen has a new high-definition liquid crystal display (LCD), giving you a high quality image that provides the same deep, immersive gaming experience that’s at the core of the PS Vita system.

You won’t need to worry about purchasing an extra PS Vita memory card to play Borderlands 2 out of the box – the limited edition bundle comes with an 8GB memory card. Also, the battery life of the new PS Vita system has increased to 4-6 hours of game play, up from 3-5 hours in the current model, and about 7 hours of video play, up from 5 hours from the current model. Extra juice for those long game sessions!

The bundle itself comes with the system, Borderlands 2 and all six DLC packs, and an 8GB memory card for $199.99 (USD). You can read more on the new model and the bundle at the PlayStation Blog.
