"The slim PlayStation Vita will replace the current model, it has been confirmed. Sony&amp;#039;s UK managing director Fergal Gera said low stock of the existing launch model means it will be phased out in &amp;quot;days to weeks&amp;quot;, depending on the retailer.  &amp;quot;[The slim Vita will] dovetail in behind very quickly, because there&amp;#039;s very little stock of the Vita out there,&amp;quot; he told Digital Spy. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not like they&amp;#039;re going to co-exist in any meaningful way for any period of time. There is no stock at all.&amp;quot; Confirmed for the UK earlier today (January 30), the new model will be available on February 7 for approximately \u00A3180. As well as having a thinner form factor, the original Vita&amp;#039;s OLED screen will be replaced with an LED variant, and battery life will be improved by one hour for a total of six hours&amp;#039; play time. Recent Vita game releases include OlliOlli earlier this month and Dustforce for February 5 in Europe.
