Can you handle even more pics of the new and improved Sony PSP? Can you handle comparison shots between the PSP Fat and the PSP Slim? I actually just went into cardiac arrest checking out the side by side pictures of the two systems. The two more or less look the same, but the Slim is shinier than the Fat as well as “more roundie” as GamePro put it. Like Hickey pointed out, it’s basically the current PSP we all know and… well, not love, but the PSP we all use to play PS1 games on. (I’m currently finishing up Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on my PSP. Thanks, open firmware!)

The Slim is said to be more “fuel efficient” than its Fatso predecessor. As long as it last more than 40 minutes, then yes, yes it will be more “fuel efficient.”

So yeah, not nearly as impressive as the jump from the Nintendo DS to the DS Lite.

  • Maybe Sony should have made a really ugly PSP to start with so the difference would be as striking as with the DS.

  • the slim psp is so lame

  • why the hell does sony also like copying nintendo

    Nintendo and sony announce there handheld systems the nintendo ds and the sony psp

    sony: “omg! were so totally gonna destroy them!” some time later… holy crap what happend!”

    Nintendo announces Ds lite! sales sky rocket!

    Sony: “holy crap were getting are asses handed to us!”

    sony: ” i got it people will release a slimmed down version of our psp it will be like what nintendo did but our design would look exactly the same as our 1st design it would be so kool because it would be liter and will call it the psp slim!!! hahahaha the gaming world as we know it will soon change!!!”

    Nintendo: “iwata! iwata! sony stole our idea again!” ” i know i know those damn pricks!”

    Microsoft: “halo 3 will be coming out soon! halo 3 coming soon, halo 3, halo 3!

    x360fans: OMG! OMG! OMG! AHH! HALO3! OMG ITS FUCKING CRAZY!”

    casual gamer: WTF IS A HALO! why would anybody be happy about a game about a halo over someones head?” “i dont know but you wanna go play some wii sports?”

    • Nicely said, but I think that everyone knew that a slim PSP was eventually going to come, knowing about Nintendo’s or not. Sony pursues to please its customers, and they’ve got to even up their strikes against Nintendo to win more people over to their side.

  • nintendo is a lil kid system seriously pokemon? grow some balls

  • ok nintendo’s Wii is not even a next-gen system wow lets upgrade the controller. cheap-ass graphics thats so last gen and pokemon, super mario? seriously those are five year old kiddie games. most of the games on the DS are for kids and the psp has more online features, better graphics, if you know how to use a psp properly than theres lots you can do, but for all those lazy retards who dont have patience they have the DS.

  • nintendo nerds are mad because the psp is gonna sell better now

  • LAMO Wait ti’l psp2

  • BIG DIFFERENCE!!! NOTTT!!!!!!

  • BIG DIFFERENCE! NOTT!!!

  • Nintendo is not for kids, can a psp play like a guitar, or piano, work like an organize, with phone books or PDA, type with a stylus on keyboard when using msn. It will be like a hell when using psp on msn. So dumb. Nintendo can be a dictionary and able you write or speak, blow and tap on e keyboard can psp do the same. Nah….psp sucks.

  • ok im comparing the psp to the ds and im comparing the ps3 to the wii. when playing the wii its just like the ps2 just with the wiimote the ps3 is ahead of the wii graphics-wise and the only reason the wii sells more is because of the 250 price. from what i heard of the wii is that its just a fad and thats a fact just look at their retarded commercials more than half of it is the gamers movin the remote and thats that. anything you can do with wii online you can do with the ps3. yes the wii is for kids

  • oh yeah all those things that the wii can do like the phone book and stuff well thats what cellphones are for and most people already have those so next time think bout what you say.

  • Right analog stick… that’s all I asked for. F00kers.

  • hey how much would the psp slim cost? anybody know?

  • Visual comparisons of size or thickness are illuminating if they are taken from the same distance and angle.

    Or they can be completely useless and misleading like the slimness comparison on this page.

  • the price will be the same as todays psp the old will be phased out. when the slim psp comes out there will be many differences just watch.

  • useless no difference

  • umm the psp will have tv out, slimmer, better buttons, better battery and all this will allow for better games hence they will utilize the faster loading times on the new psp unlike the cheap DS which only has kiddie games cant argue that

  • umm the psp will have tv out, slimmer, better buttons, better battery and all this will allow for better games hence they will utilize the faster loading times on the new psp unlike the cheap DS which only has kiddie games cant argue that. oh yeah the speakers are now in your face

  • the slim psp needs to be praised people! be greatful this is more comfortable than the other.

  • the only thing that can make this even better is a right analog stik and a touch screen 4 easyer internet keypad

  • its all good but will it fit on my old speakers

  • man, it’s frustrating how the now psp is getting all this hate.

    you people who currently own an old, fat psp->this isnt for you! it’s for people who dont own one.

    a second analogue stick?!?!? what? and then have 2 versions of games released? great idea chump, keep your ideas to yourself methinks.

  • can you update the firmware of the slim so that you can play downloaded games from internet?

  • What is a psp, nintendo and a wii??

  • The new psp slim is more than the old! 8gb of Ram. Compared to 32mb (thus faster umd loads). Tv out. something that’s very new! i like. longer battery life. it’s about time! Overall weight has been reduced slightly. (helps for hours of play.) and for the same price as the original, it worth getting.

  • dude the psp slim doesn’t have 8gb of ram most computers dont even have tht
    the ram has been double to like 64mg not 8gb

  • hey nintendofan can psp play 200% better games than ds yes, i dont give a **bleep** about a dictionary.

  • nintendo ds suks. psp has way better games

  • wii sucks everyone knows xbox 360 ps3 are wayy better the people who buy wii are kids or cheap people who cant buy the 360 or ps3, but can buy the wii , everyone who knows the wii knows that there is a halo 3 and that wii can never make a better or like that game

  • ds sucks ass people it has really poor ass graphics bout the same as a 64 wow. the buttons feel cheap and crap the psps slims buttons are see thru and rounded off and comfy the games rock. this is what nintedo fags are like we have touch screens we can do more stuff than psp HAHAHA as if psp can go on tv play music games movies internet store photoes and much more does a ds have a menu no how shit u need a menu or its crap. the ds fells cheap who need a touch screen when both ds screens put together are still smaller than the psps. the price is much cheaper than what it was so go sony it rocks ds SUCK HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH and dont even get me started on ps3 and 360 cause ps3 beats that in every thing

  • the ds sucks. nintendo only focosus on making assholes buy their shit so they can make themselves rich they don’t even focus on making the graphics good for their crappy gaming systems. they think they can make me buy that shit just because it has a different crappy control system that just makes the games for it even more inconvinient!? fuck nintendo it sucks balls. sony finally does it right, not like nintendo and their fucking ds.

  • yeah… 360 might experiencing some problems here and there it’s becoz some people dont know how to take care of it, yes no. complicated hardware design need special treatment. but i beliv microsoft will come out improve version of 360, and until that time we’ll see who will have the last laugh. i heard that the ps3 sales drop and the chairman of sony or who ever resigned becoz of that, may be rumors, well, I’m no reporter.
    but lastly, the only thing that I’m agree with the ps fans, unless u’re a 10 year old, seriously, it[you know what] sucks… big time.

  • And here you little wankers are, over-glorifying the petty DS just because SONY handed Nintendo their asses to them with the most magnificent handheld gaming device thus far. Just accept it, not only is it more features and better graphics, but SONY has made more products off teh gaming line to hold their name better than Nintendo. I’ll always battle for Link if i had to pick between SONY/Nintendo, but the PSP is amazing. I don’t see that half ass graphics DS pumping out videos, music, movies, and hell even internet. Just accept your loss and stop being so pussyhurt…

  • The PS3 will be wonderful when the price drops… And I wish half of you would at least type in better grammar/ more organized sentances. Talkin like dis no make yoo cool teh fags….

  • the new psp could use the tv tuner

  • but the old fat psp can not

  • psp slim is soooooooo peotifl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!we love psp slim will ……………………………….psp psp psp psp psp sliiimmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
