Review: I couldn't help but notice your very negative "DS Rules!" review of the new PSP Slim & Lite.
No mention that the TV Out option means that UMD movies are now the new home video format people didn't even know they had, as well as the incredible quality of said TV enhanced UMD's.
No need to talk about how this means that UMD’s can finally take their place next to DVD’s as genuine home viewing choices. The fact that the PSP has suddenly become a home console at will was scarcely talked about.
Also ignored was the fact that the new PSP is now even lighter than the DS Lite. Or that the original PSP was so far ahead of the original DS there was much less room for improvement.
Pros: A lot lighter
Slimmer
TV Out option
USB charging
Better speaker positions
Faster load times
Crisper screen
Improved system and theme options
Simpler UMD insertion
Home console now at will
Cons: Comes with no extras
Sony power cable not very practical
An improvement, not a reinvention
Could break easier
Have to buy TV out cable separately
Score: 10/10
