New PSP



Finally Sony is going to release a newer, and lighter version of their psp! James Yu from Gamespot managed to try it out! Here are some of the things he said about it.

  • The lighter weight is immediately noticeable as soon as you pick it up.
  • Sony slimmed down the battery size, while managing a 5 hour battery life. You can use the old PSP's battery which doulbes the playing time, but the cover won't fit on it, so Sony will offer a high-capacity power kit that will come with its own PSP cover to fit over the larger battery.
  • Gamespot editors have noticed a slight difference on the D-pad and buttons, giving it a more tactile feedback, and an overall better feel.
  • New speakers have been added.
  • Standard 3.5mm headphones will still work, but the new jack configuration won't be compatible with the existing PSP remote.
  • The new PSP will include a video out put, which will allow you to output gameplay, photos, and movies, to a TV screen
  • The loading time has dropped due to Sony increasing the RAM on the device from 32MB to 64MB.
  • The new PSP will charge through a USB cord, like an iPod.
  • It will come in a core pack for $169 or a $199 Entertainment Pack with additional colors, and some more goodies.
  • It will come in Piano Black, Ice Silver, and, for a limited time, Ceramic White.
