PSP Slim pre-orders now on Amazon.com

Posted on August 13th, 2007 at 08:03 EDT

Online retail chain Amazon.com is now offering pre-orders for Sony’s upcoming PlayStation Portable slimline handheld, giving consumers the option of choosing between a total of three different bundles. The revised PSP is dubbed PSP 2000 in some circles.

First up is the Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron Entertainment Pack (ostentatiously announced at E3 by Chewbacca, as you may remember), which contains a white PSP Darth Vader finishing for USD 200.

Second is the Daxter Entertainment Pack, which, similar to the Star Wars pack, contains a specially designed PSP casing, this time coming in the form of a silver finishing for USD 200.

Third and finally is the PSP 2000 in black finishing – the PlayStation 2000 System – for the slightly cheaper price of USD 169.99.

The PSP 2000 is approximately 33 per cent lighter and 19 per cent slimmer than the original model, and weighs in at a considerably lighter 180g (the original weighed 280g). The new version also adds a video-out port, enabling users to watch UMD movies and software on their television sets, and also includes the ability to temporarily store data from UMD games to reduce in-game loading times. As with the original version, the Slimline model comes complete with a high-quality 4.3 inch wide LCD monitor and all the usual refinements to experience your portable gaming pleasures on.

Yeah... Yeah

I have a car note and insurance that is about $800 a month. Thats all my money, looks like im going to have to take one from somebody my size; before they open the box. I'm so getting one. PSP is not the handheld PS2... With low graphics and way more features.

wouldnt mind one of the new ones but my original is still going strong, i use it for the hour journey home every day, the battery lasts all week so i dont know why people complain about battery life. The only feature that is really tempting me towards the new one is that ability to connect to a TV. other than that the current size is fine and the loading times are not that bad, i was kinda hopeing they were going to really update the new psp, new proccesor, internal HD
