Slimmer PSP In the Wings |
For a few weeks there has been a fair amount of talk about a new PSP design coming from Sony. Now Kotaku is reporting from inside sources what they believe to be the final specs for what they are calling the “PSP Slim”, although an actual name hasn’t been released.
The new PSP2, or whatever it will be called, isn’t a total redesign and will be using the same hardware from the existing PSP, but it will sport a “much slimmer design”. The battery life is expected to quadruple partly due to a more power efficient LCD screen, and they’ve also found a way to make the UMD games load a little faster.
The new PSP design will have some built-in internal memory with it instead of having to rely on an external Memory Stick. In fact it will house a nice 8GB of internal memory which will be much better than taking the PSP home only to find out that you have to go back and purchase a Memory Stick card if you want to save anything. Some re-working of the buttons will also be part of the design, with the D-Pad getting some serious changes in particular.
According to the report the new slimmer PSP 2 is expected to be priced at around $170 which is right where the current PSP is at, and they expect to have it on shelves around the end of Q3 in plenty of time for holiday shopping.

Sony’s defence-less way of the anti homebrew hissy fit. Really, i wont be buying this is the firmware doesent get cracked, but im sure dark alex will be able to intimidate sony once again
homebrew is SO overrated.
my friend has his homebrewed, and he cant even play any new psp games anymore.
what a waste.. and its just so he can play old nes games.
that would be cool if you still had all the other functionality, but as it is.. not worth it AT ALL.
that’s because your friend is stupid, I am sure you and your friend doesn’t know what is a custom firmware.
I installed the latest version of custom firmware and I have no problems with the latest games, or nes games for that matter. Plus I get to run plenty of third party apps.
So if you are a noob, just shut up.
…and more coolest thing in this PSP2 is now it has an AUDIO/VIDEO output.. is it cool? you can watch your cool movies, music videos, games, great pic, and listen your favorite music in your favorite TV, wide screen TV or whatever!! NO NEED TO BUY A PSPTV to convert it! so try to have a PSP2 and you will enjoy!!
My comment: why don’t put a Bluetooth, and Dual Analog (Analog Control Stick on right side). I need in PSP that it has built in an Bluetooth so you can send for other PSP or Bluetooth device of some pictures, music, and video. Is it nice if PSP have a Bluetooth..? It can be possible!!
That’s it folks!!
