It doesn' t looks any slimmer, and the d-pad looks the same.

Are they the right photos?

An unholy amalgam of Kotaku, Reuters & Joystiq.

Speaker placement is different. Not to mention, when' s the last time you saw a darth vader PSP?

You guys had me scared there for a sec. Thought I was about to look like a noob thee with those photos.

There' s a WLAN switch opposite where the drive button should be. Where the hell is the drive button though!?!

That seems a bit slap dash, at least with the trigger on the " old" psp there was no possibility of opening the drive by mistake. But hey if it is slimmer and all that, where do I sign up, my Jap import is starting to look a bit " middle aged" .

Nope. I left the house at quarter to eight, didn' t get back for 12 hours, spent 15 minutes on Kikizo & then hit the books ' till 10. I still haven' t seen half of the trailers I posted.

Slimmer, lighter and with a decent D-pad. The redesign is long overdue and slightly underdone. There are no major revisions, but simply a series of tweaks: the Wi-Fi switch has been moved to the portable' s top and the speakers are above the buttons and the D-pad. The D-pad itself does get a proper rehaul and finally feels like, well, a D-pad. It' s incredibly responsive and not mushy like the current iteration. The casing gets spiffed up with a coat of DS Lite style gloss. This is a needed revision — would' ve been nice to see it months ago.

I' m glad I am late to the party with psp, as all the games I want will be all cheap.

Dunno when I can afford one though. It not my number one on my list of things to buy...

I put a bid on a working UMD drive on eBay yesterday, so I should be able to finally play Portable Ops!

I' m waiting till I win one in the Stacker UFO game XD

No, seriously, I' m pretty good at it.

Anyway, I' ll wait for the price drop on the regular PSPs. I' ll consider the slim version if the battery life is really that much different.

Holy! Right, DEFINITELY considering a PSP now. My DS is great, but lately there have been some great RPGs for the PSP (personally, I thought that was surprising) which made me consider it.

But I' ll prolly not try to use homebrew on it. Too complicated And not much really worth uploading (except maybe to be able to play my old Curse of Monkey Island...)
