Basic design is the same as the OG PSP. Just slimmer and lighter. I may sell my current one and pick up the new one in September.

someone might want to tell him that spider-man 2 isn't on blu-ray yet.

Ah, I'm still glad I took mine back earlier this year.

.... wow... please tell us blu ray stuff

11:49: Hirai pulls up video of Spider-Man 2 on his PSP, presses a button, and the video suddenly appears on giant screen behind him. Part of the "display" function. Says that you can do the same thing with games, photos, and whatever else is on your PSP. New PSP will also allow you access PS3 and PC hard drives from anywhere in the world thanks to new connectivity options.

Oh Sony, you didn't listen to my speculation. Games, focus on the (PS3) games.

11:51: Kaz says that Japanese market will announce PSP plans soon. Jack takes stage, announces new "Ice Silver" PSP that will be offered in the "PSP Entertainment Pack." Will come with 1GB Memory Stick, Daxter, and UMD movie, "The Family Guy Frickin' Sweet Collection. Will be released for $199 US in September.

That is a pretty neat feature....as long as it doesn't jack up the price (which it will).

chewbacca?

I can't believe they are sticking with UMDs. No one else is.

that 199 pack is the new version of PSP?

New PSP available in black, silver, or Star Wars Special Edition (white with a Darth Vader image on the back).

I still think the black one looks better. That new $199 pack seems like a good deal.

I will be buying a new PSP.

This PC is awful.

11:53: Frickin' Chewbacca comes out on the stage to Star Wars fanfare and announces PSP Star Wars Entertainment Pack. System is white with Darth Vader's image on back. Will ship with Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron. Expectg it at retail in October for $199.

if the $199 packs, have the new slim PSP, thats hot

Family Guy.

wow... are you kidding me... that sucks..

I wonder if the non-pack in versions will be the same price as the current PSPs.

So far, not so bad, a couple of good suprises so far. Lets see what harrison has to say.

11:56: There have been more than 20 million downloads on service since launch, two million users in seven months with 750,000 of them in North America.

Ooh, and Phil Harrison takes a cheap shot at 360 not having a standard HDD.

... just pay 600 bucks for a 80 gig and bd .......

For all the 360's strengths, it deserves a cheap shot for the Core Pack.
