PSP-Slim Hands On

fistfullast33l writes "PSPFanboy, a Joystiq blog, has a great closeup of the new PSP redesign. Photos show the old PSP and the new PSP side by side. Modifications include adding more RAM (up to 64MB), extended battery life, a new UMD loading door, removal of the IR port (Sony really hates infrared), and a redesigned headphone jack to support video output. Sony confirmed that you will be able to play movies and games through the video out, but the games can only be viewable via component, not composite cables. Also, 0okm has some nice pictures of the new PSP internals as well as a manual snapshot showing button layout (the wireless switch was moved) and TV out information." Gamasutra has the news that the slim-line is due out on September 20th in Japan.

    All signs are pointing to the PSP-2000 being locked down so as to prevent homebrew (or Linux) running on it.

    Getting a wee bit pissy just for the sake of being pissy aren't we?

    a) composit component converters are cheap...good chance the unit will even come with one and
    b) where the fuck did they lie to you? Hmm?

    You're taking this awfully personally, it is after all just a hunk of plastic, chips and wires. Don't have a heart attack mmkay?
