this board has really gone down the *******...

Anyway, The new PSP is kind of a joke. The lighter and thinner is all well and good, the video out is cool I guess, playing games on a TV (which Kaz said you can do) would be okay but the resolution is gonna suck the big one. Better battery is good as is faster loading times.

But those are all things that SHOULD get better as time goes on. I was expecting bluetooth, new design, better screen, maybe sixaxis. I dunno, something to make it more 2007. Oh well...

All things that would make PSP obsolete.

As previously stated, you....like others, will be waiting for PSP2 ;)
 
I'll probably buy this new PSP....or save some money and buy an older one. I really don't like the PSP...the battery life, the look, most games, etc. I have to get it for God of War, Twisted Metal, and a few other games.....I already play my DS like crazy; probably not going to play this thing that much. Still, they could have at least redesigned it.
 
Not sure if I'll get this new version. I have a PSP (Japanese so region free!) and a DS Lite and I go through phases with each. I think the DS is simply more fun and I like that there are no load times and that I just flip it closed when I'm done. The problem with the DS is that my hands get cramped every time I play it, which sort of takes away from the enjoyment.
When I play the PSP I never get the aches, but it's quite a delicate machine which can be annoying as I have to tote around a big clamshell case. PSP to me has always been the true widescreen ipod. I have a large memory stick so there's always a few films and some tunes on there and I've always thought that, that was pretty cool. In fact, I'm flying to Dubai in a few days so I better transfer some flicks to it.
Cheers, Tommy :)

PSP = the biggest regret of a purchase I have ever made...


All the titles coming out for it suck, and there is a VERY few good games to select from.

I agree
 
For those who are interested, we've just received an email from our suppliers with the following information:

Release date is 14th September 2007.

RRP is £129.99.

This information is for the UK.

:)
 
^ That's good. I think Sony and it's fanbase have admitted it's never going to overtake the DS and isn't trying to compete with a lower price. £129 is good. Could be lower, but if outlets bundle a free game then it'll make up for it.
 
I hope there'll be bundles. I might consider getting one if there's no iPod refreshments in the near future.
