DP, y'all.
But it (PSP) does have a lot of great games out there for it that cost a fraction of the home console games.
I disagree. I actually thought and think the oppposite. When the PSP launched it was a crime that some of the titles were $50. Now they are $40 aren't they? That's still alot considering you can get the PS2 versions for much cheaper. And it's alot if you played the PS2 versions (derivatives) recently.

5/4 is still a fraction.
Sony was able to slim down the battery size while maintaining the system's 5-hour battery life by decreasing the power draw of the unit. You'll be able to use old batteries from the original PSP to double playing time, but the standard battery cover won't be able to fit over it. Sony will offer a high-capacity power kit that will come with its own PSP cover to fit over the larger battery.
Well that is pretty cool.
I think some PSP games may cost $40 USD but I haven't bought any at that price. It's been relatively easy to find the greatest hits type games for $10-20. Sid Meier's Pirates is $30 and is next on my "list". Gitaroo Man is ~$35.
$40-50 is too much for a new PSP game IMO. I'll pay it for FFT, but that's about it. However I think most of the newer titles are in the $30-40 range.

It's funny that the one game your willing to pay full price for is one you can already get and play on the PSP at a much cheaper price.
And I already own the PS1 disc.
I'm banking on a much-improved translation and something hopefully optimized for playing on a portable.
Trip, there are a lot of great PSP games you can get for $35 or under, and only one or two that are worth it at a $40 price. However, $39.99 is not the MSRP of the PSP games anymore. It depends.
You can very easily mod a DS lite to do anything the PSP already does (and what the PSP lite will do-- except for video out).
Hrmm. As someone who owned a PSP and sold it to buy a DS Lite and a pile of games, I have to say this seems just plain wrong. I used my PSP to watch movies (ripped) do net stuff (streaming MP3s, surfing) more than I used it to play games (which is why I sold it). I have yet to be able to get video to play even remotely decently on my DS, and I've got several little aftermarket doodads. And there's essentially no internet stuff.
Wasn't enough to make me hang on to the PSP, and I still love my DS as a game platform, but there's no way you can compare the multimedia capabilities -- PSP has 'em, the DS has touchscreen/dualscreen/gamesharing way down. Didn't actually matter to me, but the multimedia capabilities are just VASTLY different.

So I can't charge the unit without it being in USB mode? Are you kidding?
I'd bet that they just haven't clarified it. Electrically, it doesn't make sense that it can't charge while in a mode other than data--power flows through dedicated wires in a USB cable, unrelated to the wiring that carries data.
Like "DS Lite" aesthetics? How do you figure? Shrinking the size of a console and making it cheaper to manufacture has been going on since the NES, across all platforms.
It even goes back to the venerable Atari 2600. Stuff gets smaller and cheaper, and redesigning the outside lets them use fewer materials, and that affects the bottom line, too.
The better battery life, better loading times, and a portable version of God of War has me considering a PSP.
I know it'll be a mistake.. but the thought's already there.
I really have no desire to get a PSP.
Features like "Oh yeah, stream MP3s!" and "VIDEO OUTPUT! VIDEO OUTPUT FROM THIS TINY SCREEN ARE YOU LISTENING?" are just useless to me.
edit: I had one and I used it like 3 days (once to see Hellboy on the toilet) and I put it in a drawer and forgot about it. But this is when FIFA was the only game out and such.
I just want to play Metal Gear Acid. If only they would port it over to XBLA.
I want to see just how much the load time has improved. If there's anything that has to be done for the PSP, this is it.
When I get the redesigned PSP, the first game I'm getting is an import copy of I.Q. Mania (contains the original Intelligent Qube plus lots of extra content)
Apparently it came out a year ago. I've been wanting to get Intelligent Qube somehow.
I like the new features enough that if EB Games has a trade up deal for $50 I'd do it. I like the Darth Vader one
The fact that I didn't pay for my PSP, and got it for "free" by trading in enough games probably is influencing me. It's easy to say I'll pay to trade up for something I never paid cash out of my wallet for
edit: uh oh... out of print, according to Play Asia.
I've found it elsewhere. I'll be ordering it pretty soon.
EDIT: KeepGaming.com and RenChi.com both have it, same price. Anyone ever ordered from these places?
Is there anything wrong with a dude getting the baby blue one? Mabye i'll stick a charger sticker on the back to make it look more man-ly.
I think if you're a Charger fan you HAVE to get the baby blue one. Man I wish the Chargers would go all the way back to the old Unis.
It will be harder to notice when the silver one gets dirty, so I might just go for that one. The thing is I wish the new PSP can cure so many of the old one's problems I don't have to worry about it getting dirty, ever.

WAIT WAIT WAIT A MINUTE...
Between the pink and the blue...
Is that... VIOLET?!
@#$%!!!
I guess I should have mentioned the pastel colors are all Japan only so you'll have to import to get one.

Not to take this more off-topic, but YES.
Charger powder blue uniforms are the best jersey in the NFL.

Yeah I love them as well but have you guys seen the new Charger unis? I like them allright but why they re-did the throwback I have no idea. It is cool that they will be wearing the white helmets all the time though...
Where are these fancy-smancy FFVII ones being sold?
