New Slim PSP: Will you be getting one?
So, are you gonna get the new slimmer PSP?
- A slimmer and lighter design
- Video out: You can hook it up to your TV with composite or component video cables and play games/watch movies on your big screen
- More RAM = faster load times
- No more IR port
- Better battery life (8-10 hours)
- More responsive buttons (improved d-pad but no change to the analog stick)
- $169.00 (Bundle $199.00)

Probably not, but we'll see. I like being able to play all my original PS1 games on my PSP and that requires custom firmware, don't know how long before the new version will have that capability. Hopefully, though, it will have an improved D-Pad and Analog stick.

I think these are supposed to be priced at $169.99 for the PSP and $199 for the bundles (StarWars or Entertainment bundle).
I don't have a PSP (or a DS), but this new model intrigues me. I'll wait and see if the homebrewing capabilities are still possible on the new model.

Yes, I think so. I enjoyed my PSP the last time I had one, but found I used it mostly for multimedia. Sony looks to be expanding that ability through the PSN at some point this year and there are several games I want to play. The changes aren't earth shattering, but are enough to get me to considering owning one again.

I'm a big PSP guy. Love mine and have about 20 games for it. I'm not so impressed with the new one, but I'll probably get it anyway since it is an improvement over the current model-- but that's mostly because I got my current (and previous) model from Costco and can return it for a full refund. If I had to eat my original cost or try to sell my current model for a fraction of it's cost, then there would be no way I'd be buying a new one based on what I've seen so far. I'll probably get the SW bundle since I like the other battlefront games and it looks pretty good in white (but sweeter in silver, no doubt).

I already have one, but I'll probably be getting the new one. My current launch PSP has a few annoying scratches on the screen, but I'm hoping I can still get a decent amount for it on eBay and put that towards a new one. I'll probably get the Star Wars one because of the white finish. I hate how the current one shows fingerprints so clearly. I also like the promise of faster load times, since the long load times is probably my biggest beef with the current model.

The OP's price is wrong. The $199 is for a bundle (either SW bundle or "Entertainment" bundle), the unit itself is still $169.
