PSP: thinner, happier, more productive
Posted by Jeriaska on June 8th, 2007
Brian Ashcroft has posted first details on the slimmer PSP, currently in the pre-manufacturing phase of its development. The revamped model will sport a thinner frame, made possible by a svelt LED display screen, which will also provide for up to four times the battery life. Nice!
In addition, 8 gigs of internal flash memory will allow the yet more portable Playstation to cut down on load times and speed up gameplay, where necessary. The handheld’s somewhat unwieldy buttons have also been redesigned to approximate the feel of the PS3 controller. Expect the new model to debut at E3 and sport a price tag of around $170.
Hmmm… sounds like Sony’s found a better way to sell a PSP than by viral blogging. More info at Kotaku.

Wow cool, can’t wait to see this.
Perhaps when they start releasing more good games that aren’t just spin-offs or sequels I’ll have to re-evaluate this little machine.

I’m looking forward to Crisis Core and Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, so hopefully this thing will hit the shelves before that happens.
