5.0 out of 5 stars PSP Slim delivers, September 6, 2007

By	J. Noriega "Disciple" (Emlhurst, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply spiffy!, October 14, 2007

By	C. R. Swanson "wilybadger.wordpress.com" (Phoenix) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing!, September 8, 2007

By	Brok Bunnell "Broky Brok" (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

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!
