The Latest Hardware with a New PSP

When it comes to buying consumer electronics, many people are afraid of buying used products, and rightfully so. Many stores which resell used products do not vigorously check for defects or other problems with the product that they accept. In some more extreme cases, employees of brick and mortar stores which resell these products have accepted empty cases without any electronics inside and wired controllers where the wire had been torn off. If you want all the trust of a brand new product, then you'll want to buy a new PSP instead of going used.

Continual Development

Not only will a new PSP offer a fair amount of safety in your purchase of $150 or more, but you'll also be sure to receive the latest hardware. Some new PSP models include the PSP Slim, which contains all of the functionality and features of a full sized PSP but with a greatly reduced size for greater portability. With an old, used PSP, you're not likely at all to get the latest hardware, making your hard earned dollars nearly go to waste with yesterday's platform.

New PSPs have better performance and longevity than older ones, and you'd be shooting yourself in the foot (as they saying goes) by buying an old one when the same amount of money could be spent to buy a new version of the blockbuster handheld gaming console. So what design enhancements could you expect with a new PSP? Well, for one, you'll get newer hardware designed to offer computing enhancements while using less power, meaning a battery charge is expected to last longer. Also, with what are known as “die shrinks” (essentially moving the manufacturing of these components to equipment which can produce the same electronics on a smaller platform), they take up less room, and that means that your PSP can be smaller or be more powerful and use less electricity.

Old, used PSPs won't cut it if you're paying $150 or more, so to get the latest and greatest handheld gaming system, you'll need to skip the used bin and pick up a new PSP. Featuring the latest hardware and firmware updates, you can rest assured that you have the best model on the market. When buying something new and great, most consumers don't turn around and resell them to brick and mortar stores who in turn only sell them at a slight discount over new models. Instead, the consumers wait until they're happy with how much use they've gotten out of the new electronic. By buying a new PSP, you too can have the best model available without worrying about how well it works.
