Playstation Portable - New Playstation on the Scene

PSP 2? No - it's the PSP Slim and Lite!

Could the new Playstation Portable Slim and Lite system truly be better than the traditional PSP system? Sony and Microsoft have an ongoing competition with the PS3 and Xbox 360 systems on the market, so Sony needed an edge to drive up sales of its systems and games. They realized that a new hand-held gaming system was reaching too far, but an improvement could easily update the old hand held system and give them increased sales.

September 6, 2007 was the launch date for the new Playstation Portable Slim & Lite. The name summed up its brand new look. On the surface the hand held console looked the same, but upon picking it up, the difference was immediately noticeable. The new Sony Playstation Portable was 33% lighter and 19% slimmer. However, the real improvements are inside the little hand held gaming console.

So what can you expect from the new gaming unit? You can expect shorter load times. The designers at Sony doubled the internal memory to 64 MB. The LCD screen is lighter. The D-pad is raised a bit higher, thus helping your fingers gain better control when playing. It also now has the ability to charge via its USB port while gaming. This was something the original could not do. Before, you could only charge the PSP system while not gaming.

Games are a big expense when it comes to playing. Most people elect to purchase games versus renting them. This was a great concern with the new Playstation Portable. Would the old games still play on the new system or would players be forced to buy all new games if they wanted the new system? Rest easy, because the new PSP does play the old games, and as well, any new Playstation Portable game will play on the older system.

The new Playstation Portable system is not out of the woods yet. Nintendo has no plans to acquiesce and allow Sony to take away from their sales. The new Nintendo DS Lite is the chief competitor, but many gamers wonder if a portable Xbox gaming system will make its debut to entice gamers away from the two giants. The new PSP's are still leading sales, but it is only a matter of time before the competitor's edge into this market.

It is difficult conceive of a time when video game were not a part of today's culture. Three of the most popular gaming systems are the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and the Nintendo. Playstation addressed their fans with the introduction of the Playstation Portable, or PSP as well as the Playstation 3.
