The lucky folks over at gadget website T3 have gotten their hands on a pre-production model of the recently-announced Sony PlayStation Portable redesign. They've also taken pictures of the redesigned PSP as well as a few comparison pics with the original PSP. |

Hey is it going to be in white psp tO The Slimmer psp?
Hey is it going to be in white psp tO The Slimmer psp?
» but better? or simply locked?
1) sure slimmer but with a smaller battery, is it really an improvement? After all, with 333Mhz being available to new UMDs and the original PSP gobbling up battery like crazy on max brightness, what's the point of a 2-3hr PSP when the DS does 3x longer easily?
2) New + locked?
we won't know until they're out, but it's highly likely that the new PSPs will require some new form of bypass to unlock them fully.
3) any brighter screens?
that would be really nice given that my DS outshines my PSP on max brightness. really sad, IMO.
4) TV out.
They could have simply done a USB thing for everyone and left it at that. there are usb video output boxes for laptops, so no reason the PSP couldn't have gotten one.
5) no improvements to the core.
I'd much rather have seen a version at the same weight with a built-in GPS SIRF3 system and a fat MS/UMD with lots of maps.
Instead maps are still one of those things with lots of add-ons required.
6) Enough time to innovate, no innovation at hand.
They've had more than enough time to innovate - flip down keyboard, MIGO chat/IM apps, GPS inside, etc., but nothing. Very sad vs. DS.

This thing looks like that friggin popstation thing on the net. The one that was deemed the fake psp unit but looked nothing like it. I cant believe people want to buy this piece of ***** over the last one. I am so happy this thing is so *****ty as I just got a new psp. Thanks to the old one having a ***** load of problems I am now sure this unit will come up with a million hardware issues in less than a month of its release with people complaining UMD drive breaking easily and look at it for christs sake it looks like the crimson of the play station species like the guy says in "300" FREAK SHOW. Look how bad the headphones jack is placed its like they have punched a hole into a place where it shouldn't be . Disgusting the old thing may be fatter but it had the curves it needed and IMO I think the curves are great. This one looks like someone sawed off the last psp's buttocks and then placed a cardboard to make them flat. This psp also looks way less shiny than the old one. This UMD drive (the new one) looks like it will fall off by itself while playing after about 5-6 months as the original psp while having a strong latch mechanism couldn't withstand wear and tear im sure this one wont even half last as long as the old one did. And speakers? wtf!!! .. about video output though im sure they didn't change much and they would add a feature in newer firmware that would enable old psps to have a video output too else im damn sure everyone with an old psp like me will be hell pissed off. And if they do home brew team will hack it out and then we can use it too. I love my old psp and I am happy i bought it before these disgusting crippled pieces of ***** came into existence.

1)Man... I get a good 4-6 horus on my PSP. Also, the device show is not the final model, the batter might be swapped, either that or Sony's got the machine consuming less power, cuz there is no way they're going to release a slimer, sexier machine that doesn't last as long as it's bigger predecessor.
2)When you say locked... you mean homebrew wise?
3)The screen is already a thing of beauty. F__k d00d my old Game Gear is like a spot light if you really want to compare handheld screen brightness.
4) Possibly true, but why complain when a company adds something for free?
5)You're one person, with one opinion. Perhaps Sony isn't catering to just you! Perhaps they thought the majority of users would rather a smaller redesign instead of a "GPS SIRF3 system and a fat MS/UMD with lots of maps"
6)It's a redesign dude, you can't go including a bunch of exclusive hardware into the thing, it alienates the older version of the hardware and then you've got a lot of angry users who can't play 'X' game on their old PSP. Also, you compare to the DS... the DSLite has nothing "Innovative" added to it either, f'n brightness upgrade, smaller design etc.
In closing. If you're not happy with the redesign then stick with the older hardware.... if you've even got a PSP.
I may stick with my older PSP for a while yet... but I'm really glad to see some design changes. Like the replacement of the head phone jack!!! I'm always annoyed with the placement of it on the regular PSP, it's always in the way of my left hand.

» This is upsetting...
I have one word for this monstrosity.
'Sony'
Is that where the money that were paying them go? designing an identical unit with 1 or 2 new feature.
Seriously, omg! this TOTALLY suckballz!
This isn't a new PSP it's physically identical to the original unit.
OMG, I've seen better mods that carried MANY other excellent features than this disgraceful piece of *****.
Now I REALLY hope MS comes out with a portable system. I'll definately be more than happy switching to that than what Sony has lately been up to.
And I BET ANYBODY by that time, Sony will be BEGGIN' for someone like DAX to pop up and create another legendary legacy so they can have another glimpse of what true gaming experience REALLY is.
I just can't wait until this unit comes out because it will SURELY be a BIG FLOP INTERNATIONALLY!
Microsoft, PLEASE release something worth while because Sony obviously cannot live up to their clients standards.
So let me get this straight.
Sony releases a p-system that was a MAJOR hit until the HB scene got in the story and made their own 'enhancements' because many have realize that the unit was being held back by the people that created them in the first place.
So Sony then cripples the HB scene (which what made the PSP System Internationally renowned today) as a way of revenge due to the piracy crisis.
Then Sony 'secretly' and strongly denied that they were building a new unit aka PSP2/slim that the public have learned they were up to, and at the end the best that they could come up is this PIECE OF *****!
Sony, omg, Sony... You have got to GET A NEW PROJECT LEADERS AND MEMBERS. Sack everybody whose involved in the division while you still have that little dignity you have left and show once again why we (millions) of PSP users have chosen the PSP Unit to be the next big thing.
Just let it grow to whatever the public want it to grow just as you did with PSX and PS2...
EVERY System you have released have eventualy been figured out and been 'cracked' to play backups and hb. But this is why countless of people like myself still chose to follow the name Sony is because of this same pattern.
If PSP is the 1st time in history that you will hold back with all your might and not allow to evolve, then I can assure you that the name Sony PSP (TM) will be a thing of the past and everyone will follow the industries that will allow their creations to flurish to it's FULL potential.
I am so disgusted and ashamed on what this so called 'new' slimmer and better psp you have to show that I am personally ashamed that I have a PSP.
And I can assure ANYBODY that this will be a laughing matter when it does release in the market/public.
Sony, wake up and realize...

Yes, the idea is for this piece of trash to replace Sony error(S) that they have done on the past. Bu t if this is the best they can do then it just shows how incompitant they have become.
If you like this remake then by all means go get a dozen of em'. But just because I gave my 'honest' opinion doesn't mean it applies to "you".
I'm not b!tch!ng, just pissed off that this is the best that Sony have to offer.
And if you even know ANYTHING about HB and all it's glory, then you wouldn't even think of getting this trash. So you obviously are one of them scabs that just uses 'free' homebrews and end of the day have the audasity to b!tch about it cos it did live to 'your' expectations.
My suggestion is, next time you don't like what your reading then either disregard it totally or just STFU! cos no one wan's to hear you give credits to this so called 'new' and better psp hw upgrade. Capish...

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://000url.com/money you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.
Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,
I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,
but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)
You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH
JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.
Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.
Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"
There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

Dude, whats the Point about IR?! can you tell me one app that really used it? Which was REALLY capble for this? The answer is quite clear. NONE!
Even Homebrew was very slow and... Dumb.
Whats the point in this? Youve got Wi-Fi.
I agree with Simmy:
My Original one that i've bought on september 1th 2005 (im from Germany) has 1800mAh.
But hey, i think Sony knows what they're doing.
personally I think the UMD Bay / drive looks very bad. I think it might get broke or something like that.
But the TV Output is just amazing. Im going to buy the ice silver package (Daxter is great, Family Guy awesome and the 1GB Stick. Well ^^) but I will still keep my old one for HB and... Forget it :D
Im buying games :P
Greetz and thx @ Sony for theire PSP Sl... erm... 1.5
oh, i almost forgot:
Can anyone tell me a retailer that ships to Europe / Germany?

The IR port was indeed very useful with IR Commander and IR Shell, I consider them to be some of the best homebrew programs around. Being able to use your psp as a universal remote can come in handy when u cant find your remote.

If you don't recall, the IR port is for keyboard guybrush. The single most important use for the IR port. At one point SONY was going to give a proper keyboard and then canceled it, others tried to make one and got rejected by SONY and now we've all been rejected by SONY because they did away with the IR. It appears that SONY never did want us to have a keyboard. SONY has Fuucked Up BIG TIME with this redesigned PSP. Only thing they did right was relocating the speakers, headphone jack and offering video out but even thats not enough to call this a redesign. The PSPs ass is missing which will make it a lot harder to hold onto. Did see something about it taking Duo and Pro Duo MS. The older PSP kicks the new ones ass, rolls it up and smokes it!

Yeah all those are valid apps that use IR but since when did Sony start caring about what the homebrew community wants.

I found IR quite useful. I am using Sony LCD TV, and the homebrew IR remote app works perfectly with my TV. Use it within feets, no pro.

are you kidding me? That thing is *****n identical to the old psp. Its marginally shorter, marginally thinner, and probably marginally harder to hold onto. I can't believe I'm the only person to even comment on this. Isnt anyone else angry? All that hype and they finally give us this. I wonder what moron at Sony got an extra $50Grand added onto his salary to come up with this "redesign"...

Not really if the new slimmer PSP does not use as much power due to the new UMD drive then is can last longer. I'm going to get one the second I saw the news I sold mine to my broher.
