 PSP Slim deliversSep 06, 2007
By J. Noriega
NOTE: The Rachet game, the family guy collection and the memory stick only come with the 199.99 bundle. The 169.99 PSP Black Slim does not come with these items.
The new PSP is 19% thinner and 30% lighter. Should definitely notice the difference as soon as its in your hands. Here are the pros and cons
Pros:
+ Video Out to your TV. Watch your UMD movies and Games on your screen. This is the perhaps the best feature of any handheld.
+ Much lighter, feels really good in your hands.
+ The D-Pad has been upgrades. Fighting Game Lovers rejoice!
+ The analog nub also feels more responsive.
+ Buttons are raised making them easier to click.
+ The LCD is brighter, has a higher refresh rate and the colors are more vibrant.
+ UMD games load faster.
+ The memory has been doubled in this unit to allow developers to build caches they can then use to make games load much faster.
+ Even games that dont implement caches, load faster due to an automatic new caching done by the system.
+ Ability to eat less battery life.
+ Daxter Game is included! This is one of the best games for the PSP
+ 1Gig memory stick is included.
+ Family Guy freaking sweet collection UMD included.
+ Price. For $200 you are getting a lot. PSP system, a game, family guy compilation, a new color, and memory stick. All for $30 more than PSP slim black. I would definitely recommend getting the bundle.
Cons:
-Yes the packaging is a bit cheap.
-UMD tray may not impress. It feels cheaper.
Hopefully you guys enjoy this little system. It really is a sexy looking thing and with critically acclaimed titles like crush and Jeanne d'arc and other games like Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, Wipeout Pulse, and God of War over the horizon, you wouldn't be a true gamer without one. If you like your handheld games at the same quality as your console games then what are you waiting for. pick this up.

Simply spiffy!Oct 14, 2007
By Chris Swanson
"I'm just this guy, you know?"
I'd never played with a PSP until yesterday. I'd see a friend of mine playing Lumines when it first came out, but that was about it.
Now I begin to see what I'd been missing.
I bought the PSP Daxter Entertainment Pack - Ice Silver version of the PSP hardware yesterday on something of a whim. I'd heard decent things, read some reviews and thought it might be a good investment. Plus, hey,Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions was out, and I wanted to play that.
I turned out to be a good purchase! The unit itself is very well-designed and comfortable to use. The display screen is incredibly vivid and bright. The interface is nicely designed. I had a few problems getting onto the internet at first, but I managed to resolve those within a few minutes (the little web-browser they have built-in to the software is... ok. Not great, but it gets the job done).
In fact, about the only thing I would have liked that did not come with this system was a USB cable. Fortunately I was able to find one at my local game store and now I can hook this sucker directly up to my computer. Very useful, given that I now am able to play MP3s on my PSP, as well as store photos!
In addition to the system, I also got a one gig memory chip. That's pretty handy! It also came with Daxter, which I haven't played too much, but it's proving fun. It also came with Family Guy - The Freakin Sweet Collection (UMD Mini for PSP). Alone, these items would likely add quite a bit more to the expense, but they came included for only a little more than the system itself (I sold the UMD, however. Why? Well, partly cause I have that same product on DVD and partly cause I just don't "get" the whole UMD thing. They're overpriced, have no extras and just aren't very interesting).
I've owned and enjoyed a Nintendo DS Lite Onyx Black, but I gotta say this little system is worlds away. You get video games, internet access, an MP3 player, a movie player (though not my thing, as mentioned), and a picture viewer, all for not too much more than a DS. Nintendo, I love you, but in this case Sony has the best product (don't hate me!).
The only down-sides I see is that this is not a system for younger kids (what with the UMD discs), and it is a little larger than the DS. It would be nice if it came with a wrist strap, since I'm sure dropping it would have tragic consequences, and as I said before I would've liked to have had a USB cable in the box. But still, I'm happy with what I bought and I think you would be, too!

Simply Amazing!Sep 08, 2007
By Brok Bunnell
"Broky Brok"
The new PSP is everything you could ever want in a handheld! I finally got my hands on one after about a month and a half of eager waiting and I am ready to review!
Pros:
+33% Lighter than the last psp: This feature is really good and is actually very noticible. With the old PSP (that my brother purchased awhile back) my wrist actually would get tired after while because it was a little clunky. But this was not the case this time around. I've played daxter 50% through the game, and I havn't had any problems. It's the perfect wieght, and you will notice it right out of the box!
+19% Slimmer: The humps on the back of the old psp were not bad, but the straight back of the new one is phenomenal! It feels so comfortable in your hand it's rediculous! Not a much needed change, but a very appreciated one.
+New UMD Bay: The new UMD Bay is very nice! Alot of people feel that it's really cheap, but I like it way better! It's much less complex than the other, which is very good! With the other one, I actually messed up one of my brothers games trying to get it in there.
+Faster Loading Times: The faster times are not a dramatic improvement, but you can most definately tell! Two games with probably the worst loading times on PSP are Mortal Kombat Unchained and GTA: Vice City Stories. Both games still have an undesirble amount of loading in the actual game itself, but the added flash memory makes it much less painful. I actually have time to enjoy those games now! And yes, 5 seconds does make a difference!
+Video Out: Very nice feature! I went ahead and bought the cables with a gift card I had to target, and I was very pleased. I think it's pretty cool to hook it up and play daxter on your tv, and watch family guy as well! I had fun with that!
+Better D-pad and Analog Nub: You can tell that the D-pad and analog nub are way more responsive! I was very impressed when I was playing my mortal kombat game. It was much more responsive than the last PSP.
+Battery Life: I can tell a difference in battery life. It seems like this thing last forever. I've had it since Thursday(9/6/07) and I've only charged it once!
+Package Contents: It comes with one of the greatest PSP games, and probably the most funniest show on the planet! It also comes with a 1gb memory stick, which is a very good improvement over the 32 MB. This value would definately be $240 sold sepertately. So this bundle saves you a good 40 bucks! Which is gas money for me! :)
Cons:
-Glossy Finish: After awhile it gets really annoying, especially if your hands start to sweat. It makes the psp look extremely nice, don't get me wrong, but I much rather prefer comfort over looks. And the glossy finish isn't a real winner with me, but it will do!
-Daxter and Family guy Packaging: I was kind of upset that daxter and family guy came in cheap cardboard cut out packages. I would have liked the real case, so it would fit in my collection better, but I guess this will do for now.
-No wrist strap/Ear Buds: I wasn't very dissapointed that it didn't come with a wrist strap or earbuds because I have my own, but It is kind of sad because it came with the last PSP. I hope sony will start packing them in the future.
Other than those 3 little Cons the new PSP really delivers! If you already have a psp, there is seriously no need to update. The features are not worth buying an entire new one. But if you have never bought one, like me, and you are planning on buying one, buy this one for sure!

Big improvements come in small sizesSep 14, 2007
By Gadgester
"No Time, No Money"
Got my new ice silver PSP Slim (aka "PSP 2000", model PSP-2001) 3 days ago and I absolutely love it. The 30% lighter weight vis-a-vis the original PSP makes holding it so much easier and comfier. I used to need a case/comfort grip (PSP Comfort Grips Black) to use the old PSP -- BTW, the case/comfort grip/screen protect/stand 4-in-1 product in that link still works for the PSP slim! -- to use the PSP but with the new slim version I can hold it comfortably.
The other big improvement is in UMD loading time. It's noticeably much faster than before, making watching UMD movies much easier. BTW, this is achieved through caching on the MemoryStick, so if you don't have a MemoryStick in the PSP slim, you won't notice this speed-up.
Sony also bumped the internal memory from 32MB to 64MB. Maybe this will help game-loading times, but early reports indicate the extra memory will mainly used for improved texture rendering. We shall see if any software improvement will come out.
The screen also seems brighter than the original PSP's, and mine doesn't have any dead pixels. (My old PSP's LCD had 3 dead pixels, including a fairly bright green one.)
Another new feature is the ability to output video (movies and games!) to an external TV, via an optional component AV or composite AV cable. I just ordered the $20 PSP 2000 Component AV Cable and really look forward to watching my collection of UMD and MemoryStick movies on my HDTV.
Otherwise, it's pretty much the same as the original PSP: same screen size and resolution, control layout, etc. Not a bad thing since it takes no time at all to get acquainted with this baby. The wi-fi button is now located on the top, and Sony took away the rarely-used IR window.
One thing, though, is this Daxter pack does not come with headphones or the wired remote control, and you cannot use the wired control for the original PSP ("PSP-1000") in this new PSP ("PSP-2000").
In short, I think the lighter weight and faster UMD loading time make this a totally worthy upgrade for those of us really into our PSPs. For casual PSP owners, though, this is probably not all that interesting; the original PSP should be good enough for casual use. Those looking to get into PSP gaming should definitely get the new PSP Slim / PSP 2000.

Versatile and fun gaming systemSep 18, 2007
By Eric
I bought one of these recently, and I am impressed with it. I haven't owned the original PSP, so I can only comment on the new PSP 2000 (PSP Slim).
These are some of what I think are the high points of the PSP 2000:
- Small, lightweight design (could easily fit in a pocket)
- The screen is crisp and bright
- There is a good selection of games for it
- It also plays videos and music
- It also has wireless networking for multi-player games, and also includes a web browser (pretty cool for a game system)
- It can output to a TV
In addition to the UMDs that games & movies come on, the PSP can also load media from memory sticks (I have seen those available up to 4GB). Game data is also saved to memory stick. Videos, music, and it looks like even games can be loaded from memory sticks. Unfortunately, the memory stick is a proprietary Sony technology and are more expensive than other media such as SD cards, but it's still a nice feature.
I like that there is a good variety of games available for the PSP. There are games that appeal to younger children as well as adults. A couple of my favorite games for the PSP so far are Mortal Kombat Unchained and Sega Genesis Collection (which includes 28 classic Genesis games for the PSP). The games seem to be less expensive in general than on other systems, too ($20-$40 vs. $40-$50+ for systems such as the PS3).
I think it's interesting that there are movies available on UMD for the PSP. I can see that Sony wanted to create a versatile device, capable of playing movies as well as games, similar to the PS2 and PS3, but it seems to me that the UMD format isn't the best choice for movies. The PSP is the only device right now that can read UMDs, the movies have a lower visual quality, and the discs don't contain any extras. I already have a modest DVD collection, so I would only buy UMD movies if they were really cheap. However, it looks like UMD movies have already dropped in popularity quite a bit.
I bought a USB cable for my PSP, and connecting it to a PC works fairly well. After plugging it into a USB port, the PSP must be switched into USB mode, and then it shows up as another drive on the computer, allowing you to copy files over to the memory stick. This makes it fairly easy to transfer things to & from the PSP.
The PSP has a web browser on it, which makes it convenient to browse the web when a wireless internet connection is available. However, being the small gaming device that it is, some web pages don't render very well due to the small screen resolution, and it can be a little hard to navigate the web due to the lack of a true keyboard and mouse.
There are 2 TV cables that I have seen available: One that has 3 RCA plugs (video and stereo audio), which many TVs support, and a component cable that has 5 RCA plugs, which is supported by newer TVs. I read a review recently saying that the PSP won't display games with the 3-plug version; I was a little disheartened, since I think my TV only has the 3-plug input. But this might not be an issue for many people.
I bought the component (5-plug) video cable for the PSP and have used it with my 21" widescreen computer display. While it's nice to be able to plug the PSP into a TV, the PSP's display resolution is low enough that it will appear a little blocky on a big screen.
One downside that I can think of is that this PSP only supports wi-fi for multiplayer gaming (Sony did away with the infra-red port). But in case there is no wi-fi router available, it would be nice if the PSP had some way of connecting 2 PSPs other than wi-fi, or perhaps a port that would let you plug in another controller for a second player.
In all, I think the PSP's versatility and game selection make it worth the money.
