I'm creating this thread as a guide for those who are considering of getting a PSP at the moment and could not decide on which PSP to go for...like me  All I know about the new slim PSP is that its slimmer by a few mm, has TV-Out, and a new mainboard which may be hard to crack for all those copy gamers out there. Can anyone else share a light on this issue? Picking between slim or old PSP I mean. Source: WikipediaQUOTE New hardware features are as follows:
Comes with Firmware 3.60
Faster loading times by storing UMD data in temporary memory.
Internal memory (RAM) increase from 32 MB to 64 MB
Improved battery life due to lower power consumption, and battery recharge over the USB data connection. However the old, higher-capacity PSP battery will still be compatible and using it will give an increased battery life, but the battery cover will not close when using the old battery due to the larger size.
Weight is 33% lighter
Actual PSP is 19% slimmer
A video-out port for displaying on a TV.
Improved responsiveness of d-pad[1] and buttons, confirmed in the GameSpot "hands-on" review; "several GameSpot editors have noticed that the d-pad and buttons on the new PSP provide a little more tactile feedback for a better overall feel."[2]
WiFi switch moved to the top of the console.
New UMD loading tray design.
Removal of the infra-red port, which was ultimately not used on the original PSP.
Speakers repositioned on the front of the PSP near the top of the screen.
Different area to insert Memory Stick. This post has been edited by young_soul: Aug 17 2007, 07:18 AM |

yes, they mentioned that it will have better control buttons...but it will be also much more expensive. Old PSP is selling for $169, new one is expected to be at $199...means the PSP can be around RM1000 compared to the current price of RM8XX  |

The thing for me is not really about the price, but to a certain extend, how long will it takes before PSP SLim can play homebrew games..

Was any mod released for the PS3? QUOTE(david888 @ Aug 15 2007, 04:56 PM) PSP slim also same price $169. check the Amazon.com for pricing. Dunno...I found another website saying PSP is RM169 but never mention slim version... If its a packaged PSP then its definitely $199. samurai20's Crisis Core is selling like hotcakes $290 I think....$100 more than usual |

If Sony says that it consumes less power this close to release - it will consume less power. Correct me if I'm wrong...but isn't there a compatible USB charger selling in shops? One of PSP slim's extra features |
