PSP Slim

My wife got me a PSP slim the other day so I thought I’d do a quick comparison. However there is a very nice C|Net review with accompanying video here and rather than repeat all that I’ll just give a quick resume of my thoughts.

The most immediate difference is the weight, a 3rd lighter, but it’s not until you get it in your hands that you appreciate the difference.

The TV out is a waste of time unless you have a large UMD movie collection (must be someone out there) although you can pick up some very good bargains now for these so I might start investing. Games in particular do not play full screen and quite frankly look poor when blown up on the big screen and you will need the component leads to be able to play them.

Screen is defiantly a bit brighter (see pic) although the screen protector does affect it slightly.

Change in the speaker location is good you no longer cover them up with your hands.

On the whole unless you want to lighten the load in your pocket (in more ways than one) or you really want Skype it’s probably not worth updating.
