And next time, you will be needing a souped up battery, a random game, some beer, and a good TV show to downgrade your firmware.

PSP Slim? How come I never heard of it until now?
And from looking at the pictures, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me, its barely smaller.

The slim one is indeed faster than the older, something like 10-15% faster in average apparently. Couple that with smaller size and a few other additions

All are meh to me... The shorter loading times are nice, though nothing using an ISO can't fix. TV out is a nice feature, if you'd ever use it that is. And the smaller size is only frustrating since it's already flat enough. FFS when do they understand that a handheld needs to be comfortable rather than fit in your back pocket.
Does it have a better battery life? Or has it remained the same? From what I read some time ago it would be shipped with a 1400mA battery and it should have the same battery life as the original with a 2100mA one. Or something like that. In the end you should've gotten a less powerful battery so that you could keep the same time without hooking it up to the wall. |

It's true what Cid said. Actually 10 to 15% is not that fast. How about 50% faster with an ISO compared to an original UMD?
That's not just for the initial transition from the XMB into the game, that's for every single part of the game.And I'm wondering why anyone would need a TV Out for a handheld... hmm... so you can read those things you could never see before on the PSP screen? ![]() And yes... slightly smaller won't justify it as a slimmer version... it's insignificantly slimmer and the dimensions don't even change at all... If I have to say anything about slimming down, the Gameboy Micro and the DS Lite would be the best candidates. PSP Slim is more like a PSP+ IMO... If for all that trouble just so I can have something that is almost identical to my old PSP... on which I cannot emulate SNES/NES games, listen to ShoutCAST radio stations, run most PS1 titles I own, and watch movies in the full resolution of the device with a better compression ratio, I wouldn't spend my money on that device. Too much hassle.

This news has made me consider getting one,(I was planning on anyway, just so I could say I had one
) and actually using it, I'd rather retire my fat PSP and let it sit and never break cus I wont use it But I'll definitly get one soon,(when they're relased this way anyway) so I'll be able to use homebrew and stuff, I was lucky with my fat PSP, I got it really early on.

I'm forgoing a PSP for a GP2X F200. It's geekery in handheld form -- a linux-powered emulation handheld with a touch screen, lol. People do say that it's like a poor man's PSP, but at least with the GP2X you don't need to jump through all kindsa firmware up/down/re/side grading.

No clear answer on that, but Sony claims it's feasible

There's plenty of games though which already needed the full 333mHz if you want a good experience, like Outrun 2k6. |

Indeed the cache option is new, but I'd rather play games from my data stick indeed. You gotta use those 2GB for something useful, not? ![]() Quote:

But indeed, for those who aren't familiar with emulators and advanced applications such as these downgraders, it might all sound like magic getting homebrew to run. It's not surprising there's many people charging money for it. |
