PSP slim sells 130,000 in first day in Japan

[*~Onna76~*]

Just got my PSP Slim version in from Japan. I've got the Pink Color. Will make some pictures later. The color is amazing, looks really cool, and has a metalic glow a bit like my Japanese PS2 which is dead but I'm keeping it as a memory plus decoration. I've had a PSP since about a month after the Japanese release and the Slim version is quite different. At first the layer to pull out the UMD disc has changed comparing to my older PSP. Instead of a switch to open the layer you now have to pull the layer open to get the disc out. Feels awkward at the beginning, but its somewhat better now, as the disc won't pop out just like that.

Also the Memory Stick layer is entirely different, in a negative way though. Feels lighter than the layer in the older PSP version and I had some trouble to push the card in. The Slim PSP is in thickness half the size comparing to the older version and indeed the layout has a more raw plastic feeling, which is good as I've noticed, you don't get any finger prints anymore on the PSP! I was rubbing my PSP with a cloth all the time to get the prints of my PSP, hardly need to do that anymore....

Screen is "much" brighter and so is the sound a lot better, which was a must for me. I haven't been able to check it out on the TV as you'll need to buy a cable first and I'll need the component cable, which I'll order today as soon as I've find it. Oh yeah and yes... the PSP "does" feel a lot lighter! Feels so much better now in hand. So overal... surely one hell of an improvement and a must if you don't own a PSP yet or at least want a better one ;).

Again... no dead pixels, halleluja!

Edit: and now the weight! The older PSP weighs 285 gram, and the Slim version weighs: 190 gram.
