New Vita ditches proprietary charging cables for micro USB
"You'll be happy to know PS Vita 2000 can charge with a smartphone charger with micro USB," wrote Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios in a tweet translated by CVG. Alongside the message Yoshida posted the above image which clearly shows the handhelds' micro USB port.
This new version of the Vita was initially announced at this year's Tokyo Game Show. As we reported at that time, the 2000 model Vita is both lighter and slimmer than the models currently found on retail shelves.
The next Vita is currently slated to hit Japan on October 10. As of now there is no word on when it might find its way to the West.

Nice addition, or replacement really. I had a PSP and was going to get a Vita, but I never did.

LiaImgBurn It looks good but i dont like handheld.
Me either, I like consoles way better and I find the handheld screens way to small for gaming.
Will be a decent system when minecraft gets released for it!
