The portable PlayStation has released its newest “remodeling” of its own. With serious competitor Nintendo DS and DS Lite rocking the country and the world of handheld gaming, Sony has to pull more sleeves to the PSP on the road faster than DS. It has come up with the remodeled PSP, available in September, 2007. There are external changes and add-ons that you might like. Under the hood, it has also changed quite a lot of things that you will find amusing and even beneficial in enhancing your handheld gaming experience.
Let’s start with what you’ll see and feel. The thickness of the portable player has been reduced as PSP claims up to 19%. While they were at it, we think they should have gone for 20-25% or else it will not be noticeable. For first time owners of PSP, they wouldn’t even notice this change. With 19%, it wouldn’t even create a sensational buzz among the PSP followers if this was the only good thing about the new PSP. It’s only noticeable for those who already have, or have tried PSP for a long time to notice the difference. If it may add up to the sleekness of the PSP, it could be from between zero to at least 1 in the gauge of ten.
Another physical change on the PSP is its weight. It’s not that PSP is rock heavy, but Sony has made some minor changes in its hardware components. It’s now 33% (why all the odd numbers) lighter than its predecessor. Now this is something noticeable although if you take a look at it online, you wouldn’t even see the difference if they’re placed face down. You have to hold it to believe it. Since the PSP is already quite light, thank you very much, it wouldn’t really upgrade its desirability level to its peak. But we appreciate the changes.
The best changes in PSP so far are the added things that you can do to it. Instead of sticking your eyes closely to the monitor of the PSP, why not make it bigger this time? The new PSP can now be plugged into your television. Your portable player will not be so portable anymore but from the fact that it can be played on wider screen at 480p, but this change is a total thumbs up for the PSP. We recommend you watch movies in this thing but not in playing games. When you use your TV for games, the letters are quite big, and you’ll think you’re watching a text only channel.
Aside from the TV-out option, the RAM of PSP has been doubled. That means the loading time of games in your PSP will be faster. It’s not that the present generation of games will lag the PSP; this is just a preparation of something bigger that will come.
With all the changes of the PSP, the price fortunately didn’t change a bit. For the “classic” color of PSP, it’s still going to be near $170. If you want something artistic, the company has also come up with a Star Wars edition at $200 a piece.
