Wow, I didn't think that people would actually fall for something that isn't too different from the original. Sad really.

Said the guy with the Pokemon in his avatar.... LOL

You know what's sad? That you bought every single pokemon game even though they were almost identical and you're complaining about people buying the PSP Slim.


 Yea now that is the truth and a gimmick. The same forumla no new graphics just sit there with the stylus and collect and collect and collect and collect and collect and collect and collect and collect...a...n...d...c..o...l......l......e..........c.......t.......................

@ckmlb + 1 for teh Pokemons bashing. ;)

I really want a PSP, but I also want a new PC, and I'm aching for Haze, UT3, Uncharted, Ratchet, and I'm getting a couple games (Oblivion, THP8, for example) when they hit platinum.

So, based on your experiences with this new PSP, where abouts on my great list of expendatures do you think I should be placing the new PSP?

Oh, and are these packs limited offers, because if I go to pick one up in a couple of months, will I still be able to get Daxter with it?

 That was completely unnecessary, ckmlb.

On top of that, the PSP Slim is, in fact, a fairly pointless upgrade. 



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%
01/09: (060w) +131.8%, 04/09: (073w) +111.4%, 07/09: (085w) +098.1%, 10/09: (099w) +086.7%
If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%
2012: (217w) +0064.9%, 2013: (269w) +0033.1%, 2014: (321w) +0011.5%, 2015: (376w) -0004.8%
At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

But that was necessary right?

Tell me how much more did the DS Lite add over the DS? Outside of aesthetics, the differences were minor and similar to the PSP Slim differences (lighter, smaller). Also the video out cables already made it worth it for me the day they announced it.

By the way I never said the main Pokemon games were bad, but the difference from version to version is tiny. 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

I think you need to check on the prices of PSP games.

PSP Slim + Daxter for 200 dollars.

Jeanne D'Arc for 30 dollars.

Monster Hunter 2 for 40 dollars.

Brave Story for 40 dollars.

MGS Graphic Novel for 20 dollars.

That's a grand total of 330 dollars and add tax to that and it comes up to 360 dollars or something around there. When you buy a system you buy games with it.

But the PSP slim looks almost excatly the same! Yeah and buying a portable that you already basically own and connecting it to your tv. pointless and sad.

FIrst of all, the PSP already had a sexy design. It just got a little plastic surgery, and more features.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,

Cause you know if you're at home playing it, you definitely don't wanna play it on your HD TV at 480p resolution amirite???

Anyway to whomever is not trolling this thread and either bought it already or is buying it here is what the PSP component cables look like:

http://www.amazon.com/PSP-2000-Component-AV-Cable/dp/B000VIPJ0W/ref=pd_ts_vg_90/103-0732427-4129402?ie=UTF8&s=videogames

You have to buy these specific cables from what I understand. They're already available in some stores (Target keeps getting mentioned) and I just found one at my local Target and just bought it, gonna hook up the PSP now :)

Very sad really :P
