More PSP Slim Information Revealed

It’s no surprise that Sony has considered and was probably working on a new version of the PSP. Whether a complete overhaul or just a re-design, one thing is for sure: Sony is up to something. Kotaku reports that the new PSP will feature a slimmer design, a bright new LED screen, and a faster UMD drive. There will also be 8GB of internal flash memory to make downloading content, new applications and features much easier.

Word is that there will also be a completely redone d-pad to make gamers feel more comfortable. While I didn’t find much wrong with the original design, I can see why Sony chose to redo the d-pad. Right now, the company is on the fence about whether to include a camera. It’d certainly jack up the price of the console with costs to add one, but the reward is a sweet one. That’s about it for now. Expect to see a re-designed PSP drop this fall during Q3.

I don’t think in the first place that there would be a revised PSP model with the features mentioned above. A smaller LCD?; how good would that be? 8gb of storage?; Sony would never give up the chance to sell their proprietary memory cards.

Also, generally I don’t think a smaller, lighter PSP would be as comfortable as it is now. It would lose much of the heft, making one feel like holding a cheap toy.

The PSP is almost perfect in its current form. Bad battery life?; Sony wants you to buy extra batteries. Heavy?; buy a hard case from Sony and carry in your backbag.

it has nothing to do with selling stuff to sony, they screwed up on the ps3…there trying to make things better.

this is there way of doing it. the psp is the only thing sony has to hang on to now.

The thing is, if the release date is in Sept and with all the new security, the earliest we can get a OE version of the PSP Slim would be atleast December or later (considering it usually takes more than 3 months for a Downgrader to come out)
