I wouldn't say im a fanboy, I have the wii, ps2, xbox 360 and dsl. I was just curious if anyone else is a little underwhelmed by the psp slim's changes. I mean I guess im comparing it to the dslite, which is a huge change aesthetically. I guess the biggest difference for the slim is it's around 33% lighter, but is that in itself worthy of a new model, and repurchasing it? It is almost identical minus the weight and maybe an 1/8". Which handheld change was more significant? Thoughts?

 theres way more changes then that

Its slimer, lighter, and has a brighter screen. They also have a new analog stick and a video out port. I cant tell you weight vs weight as I dont feel like looking up their weights. 

IMO Sony made the Slim to attract new customers, not to make the old ones upgrade like the DSLite did.

Its not just a handheld anymore...

ITS A CONSOLE.

NO!!! this PSP Slim is worth it like ssj12 said, screen is brighter, weight of the handheld is light, I mean really light like an iPod. I can go as to say its light like the DS. To be its lighter than that. The audio is amped up a bit and the speed is really good.

Consider purchasing the PSP Slim, its worth the purchase.

According to Wikipedia, the PSP Slim can output in 480p via component cables on an HDTV. That alone makes me want it. It's also priced reasonably ($169.99 MSRP); for a console (it can truly be called that now) with at least a three-year shelf-life ahead of it, that's quite an impressive price.

You may count this Garcian a new PSP owner after this Christmas. :)

The orignal ds was over weight, the new ds weights a little ver little less than the normal psp.

I have the ds lite, and the normal psp, to my opinion they weight almost the same.

leo-j we are talking about the PSP Slim not the normal PSP.

I'm exchanging my old PSP for a new one this weekend

can't wait

New analog stick? Is it better? The old ones makes me cramp :(
