New PSP announced - Image 1Sony's press conference at E3 is currently taking place and there's a lot of new things being revealed for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 (PS2), and PlayStation Portable consoles. But for now, we'd like to focus on the bomb dropped by Kaz Hirai himself.

At around 11:48 a.m, Kaz went up the stage and announced a new PlayStation Portable unit. The new PSP is said to be 19% slimmer and about 33% lighter. Hirai also said that it will have a longer battery life and expanded video capabilities. According to the Sony official, it will be available this coming September.

Furthermore, Hirai brought out a copy of movie Spider-Man 2 then pressed a button on the PSP. The video then suddenly appeared on the giant screen behind him. He said that this is going to be part of the new display functions and the same will be implemented to everything that is inside your unit including games and photos.

Quite interestingly, the redesigned PlayStation Portable unit also has the ability to access PS3 and PC hard drives from anywhere in the world because of new connectivity options. After Hirai, Jack Tretton followed next and announced "Ice Silver" PSP that will be offered in the "PSP Entertainment Pack".

This will be offered in the U.S. in September as well for US$ 199 and will come bundled with 1GB memory stick, Daxter, and UMD movie The Family Guy Frickin' Sweet.

No internal memory for all those movies and songs Sony wants to sell you. No additional ram to make web browsing actually useful. No touchscreen when touchscreens are clearly becoming the trend.

It doesn't look bad honestly, but a 1200MaH battery? They must have the chips on a lower process and a lower power screen, because the normal PSP battery is 1800.

   Re: Jesus Man (Unregistered) - 2007-07-11
 » Some Silver Lining

The speakers have been re passioned so the audio should be louder now. The Headset jack is re passioned so it's not in the way of your fingers supporting it whilst playing. Wll they did was make it slimmer which I can't tell that it is thiner, re passioned a few things but all in all left it alone as if nothing was done to it. No second nub, No bigger RAM, which is one of their worst decisions and on top of that no ports for external control. All they really did was maybe make it a few cm thinner if that.

   Re: jc (Unregistered) - 2007-07-11

Someone mentioned "locked" firmware, meaning no updates.

So, if that one firmware is cracked, then all firmware revisions are cracked.

   Re: doodad (Unregistered) - 2007-07-11
 » well... its not too bad

atleast they moved the speakers and the new battery cover looks much better than the old one... I dunno about the umd door and i hope they got a queter motor. I am pissed that they didnt add more ram for better web surfing!!!!! Maybe if we complain loud enough they'll change it (remember the boomerang ps3 controller?). And all the ppl complaining about no second analog stick, there was never any hope for it so drop it!!!!!!!!!!

   Re: spankmaster (Unregistered) - 2007-07-11
 » THE VIDEO OUT IS NOT IN THE FIRMWARE!!!

Yes its a feature of the firmware to have the video out options, but it takes PHYSICAL DESIGN to get the video to Come out of the psp. its not like someone ca MAGICALLY "HACK" the original psp to do video out through the audio port or the usb. The video simply hass nothing to PHYSICALLY do with these parts of the unit. and yes the audio port on the New PSP has the vidoe out, but its like an ipod. Please look at your standard headphone/earphone cable end, you'll see to little rings. those give you stereo sound. The ipod videos have the same thing except built in to the same port is another "ring" or Tier to it supporting video out. The cable it uses has 3 tiers on it 2 for stereo sound and one for video. its really simple concept. The old psp simply doesnt have there 3rd tier built in therefore cannot PHYSICALLY do it. I'm sue someone could hardMOD it, but a hack, that makes no sense at all.............

" No internal memory for all those movies and songs Sony wants to sell you. No additional ram to make web browsing actually useful. No touchscreen when touchscreens are clearly becoming the trend.

Why would Sony include a touchscreen on a system that didn't support it before? It would barely get used by developers. May I remind you what happened with the PS2 hard drive?

Including a touchscreen would mean Sony is ready to introduce a new generation of the PSP.

   Re: i_like_games (Unregistered) - 2007-07-12
 » why not a completely new PSP?!

So I got two negative responses to my requests for additional RAM, internal storage, and a touchscreen.

Comment: To i_like_games: Listen its a redesign not a new psp, so adding a touch screen is not a option.
If you want one wait until the new PSP2 comes out not a redesign you moron.
Answer: They won't design a PSP2 now. They had their chance to look at how various aspects of the PSP were utilized by gamers and adjust to market demands. But instead Sony decides that we don't know whats best for us and tells us what we should play. I had my PSP for 1.5 years before I sold it. Its useless as a webbrowser. The games are less than stellar (including the horrible game control provided by that well-thought-out analog nub). The UMD format sucks. Ever get a piece of dust stuck in one of those UMD cases that you can't ever remove, and so it eventually starts making circular scratches on the UMDs? UMDs are flawed by design. Sony should have let you mail in UMDs for online credit so you could download the games instead.

Comment: Why would Sony include a touchscreen on a system that didn't support it before? It would barely get used by developers. May I remind you what happened with the PS2 hard drive? Including a touchscreen would mean Sony is ready to introduce a new generation of the PSP.
Answer: The DS is touchscreen and it still plays old games. The iPhone is touchscreen (along with many other new phones). The new Macs this fall will reportedly be touch sensitive and they still run older software. Touchscreens offer a level of interactivity not offered on the PSP, and interactivity is what a handheld is supposed to be. Sony could have easily said new UMD games need the PSP revision B to play. No touchscreen means the new PSP is going to suck just as much as the original one I eBayed.

fawck the new "redesigned" psp. its a peice of *****. its barly different. if u ask me if they were gonna redesign it the might as well made a new one with maybe a touch screen, letting people run homebrew(i mean for real the only reason most people want a psp is to make and run homebrew), more ram, and most of all a second nub for camra controls in games. sony ur programers brains r bull*****!!!!!!!!!

   Re: Djhg2000 (Unregistered) - 2007-07-12
 » Wrong!

@spankmaster

It's actually 4 rings for stereo audio +video, 3 for stereo audio and 2 for mono audio.

For video, rings counted from the tip of the plug:
1 - Left audio
2 - Video
3 - GND
4 - Right audio

You'll need a GND if you want them to work :)

 » Re: Idiots

Locked? Says who? It's too early to say anything so STFU.
The remodelled PSP will surely have the ability to run any Future Sony FW updates along with the old models. As for security and whether the new models can run custom firmwares, look at the long wait between the GTA:LCS exploit and the Lumines exploit, it could happen on day 1, or after 8 months, but just because one has the patience to wait, or is happy without homebrew that doesn't make them an idiot for buying it. I'd be happy with a non-homebrew second PSP with video output for Ad-hoc family play and sharing vids/pics rather than having to burn a DVD-R and hope the DVD player reads it ok or passing around the PSP

Regardless of the added security in the firmware and / or motherboard, eventually this new Psp will be hacked. Sony have perhaps prolonged the time it will take to accomplish revision but it will be done eventually. Homebrew forever!

Why are people even complaining about homebrew anyhow. Thats what your first psp is for. Your second (being this new one) will be used for the new functions/incase you brick your first one.

i bet this PSP will still be hackable. i mean look at the first PSP, they didnt think we could hack it, but we did. there is always a loop hole in security. just wait, eventually sumone will hack it.

 » You can

think about it.
no firmware updates, mean no security updates or anything of the sort.
If theres no updates, tehn the psp will not be able to e bricked.
It will make the console itself easier to chip/flash, etc.
As i posted above.
IF SOMETHING CAN BE MADE, IT CAN BE UNMADE. There always a loophole or something of the sort. Just give it time. GUARANTEE

This psp does'nt look much different from the original... I'll stick with my psp for now... then when I'm ready, I'll move onto this one.

 » OMG

Those of you who are complaining about the security updates on the newer psp and telling people not to buy one should think twice.....It doesn't hurt to have two psp's u know. U could siply have the old one with custom firmware and the new one with its new redesign, who knows what hidden capabilities this one has, all I know is that when this one hits the market I'm buying....then I'll have three. XD

one.. dark alex is gone so... forget about hacking and else please... two... this is one of the best move in video and media fans... now.. u can have a portable dvd player and dvd player in one system... now tell me isn't worth buying an UMD movie when u can travel with ur movies without rip it to have it in your psp... and with slimmer look... and for the guy who don't like the umd tray... u have to like it.. it will be always close or u are always keeping it open and show everybody.. "look my UMD tray is awsome" not.. so.. if that what make the psp a slimmer look.. make it more cheaper then... anyway is a redesigned PSP not a PSP2.. don't expect too much... and for the people that just bought one just return it to the stores, get the money back and wait september... for everyone else... the same game will work with the new and old PSP.. don't argue for something stupid...

It's not worth buying one if my favorite movies (usually older ones) don't come out for UMD and I don't have a computer to download new movies with. I'm going to buy one soon, but somehow I doubt the PSP software is compatable with my operating systems of choice (Mac, Linux, Solaris, UNIX, a couple of my own design. Heck, I'm not even sure it's Vista compatable.) Actually, it would make good business sense for the PSP to not be compatable with Vista. It would reduce the budget with which Microsoft could create new devices that endanger Sony, such as the Zune and the 360 Falcon.

The psp works wth any operating system... because it works like an usb reader... not software needed... if u want to use the software sony had ok but is useless... so... just drag and thats it.. just found a mp4 converter that works with ur operating system

I'll just buy another PSP (the new one) for new games and tv output etc, and keep my hacked ceramic white PSP for all the homebrew.

locked firmware? how will that work, presumably they will always upgrade the original psp`s firmware throuout its life, and new games will only let you play if you update to a new sony firmware, so how deos that work on the new psp if it had a locked firmware? i mean wouldnt it have to run on the same firmware as the original psp, or will you now get 2 parallel firmwares for each version of the console? or will sony stop supporting original psp firmware updates.
i guess what im really getting at is would a new psp be CFW-able? if the answer is no then im definately not interested, otherwise i would give my wife my old psp and buy a new one.

There aren't any changes with this PSP that would warrant me to swap out my old one. IMO its just a bid to stamp out homebrewers.
