The New Sony PSP

Due Spring 2007 is the new Sony PSP. Well, not really "new" but somewhat redesigned. The differences are that the PSP is slimmer, and you can connect your PSP to your TV. Other features are that it may have a hard drive which you can purchase to store more media and the like for an arm at a leg, priced at US$199, you could buy another PSP with that.

Unfortunately Sony still haven't figured out that the UMD format just doesn't work - they need to stop milking the dead cow. The PSP is still a great multimedia gaming machine but in terms of this being a "new" PSP is quite disappointing. Sad to say the is no dual analog stick and the analog stick is still placed in an awkward position which would be nice if it was more designed for adult hands. As for being able to connect your PSP to a TV... well how useless, who would want to play a PSP game on tv or watch a movie? You would lose all the graphic resolution. Unless you don't already own a DVD player or playstation then fair enough, but if you don't have one I suggest buying a playstation over a PSP any day.

The price of the new PSP has not been announced yet but if you already own one, I wouldn't think about scrapping your old for the new as not much has changed.
