Default PSP v2: "Slim"



At their E3 2007 Press Conference, Sony unveiled their plans for a new PSP model to be released in September.

It's 33% lighter, 19% slimmer, the battery is more efficient, games load quicker, and has the ability to output a high quality video signal to your television. The PSP will also be available in two new colors. The Ice Silver color comes with the "Entertainment Pack", which will set you back $199.99 and include a 1GB memory stick, the game 'Daxter', and "Family Guy Frickin' Sweet Collection" on UMD. For the same price you can get the white "Star Wars Themed" PSP packaged with 'Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron', but that won't be in stores until October.
This thing is getting trashed by the fans ... not just Nintendo fanboy bitches, real PSP supporters.

The DS (bigboy) started out at $149, dropped to $129 when the system showed signs of tanking. When the Lite arrived, it just took over the existing price point.


If you compare the original DS to the Lite, it was a pretty drastic visual overhaul.


The PSP is thinner ... but it still retains that LONG body. Also that thumb-buster D pad is still intact. The extended battery is nice, but in most part, the PSP2 delivers stuff nobody asked for.

I think the same approach Nintendo went is what Sony should've went. In my opinion, i think Sony is sinking and instead of trying to swim up, confused, they are swimming down.
