wow

very good idea, highly expected since the PS2 slimline and redesigned PS1. However, i cant wait to see how much different this is and also the smaller size may not be that good if you like to “know” and able to hold the PSP.

Why cant they do this at the start, itd be good, not original, but good that way people could decide if they wanted a smaller one. The longer battery life should be made to original PSP owners at a cheap price compared to the £20 batteries available here.

^^
word

My question please some one answer them

is it hack prooth
how much well it cost
what about harddrive,
where booster, did he leave too,
are they any photos of this psp
is fanjita leaving too
when well n64 emu run bad furr day like mario 64
and last what the hack did afdgagf say did he smash his face on his kryboard too

old news isn’t it, i swear a month ago sony said they would release a psp with 8 gig, touch pad, smalleri can’t remember any of the other features. this is just like more features being released…

im not realy instrested I like my psp how it is now.

^^This is from IGN, ask them.
Ditto above.
A hard drive is bigger than a PSP.
This is comments for the new PSP, dumbass.
No, can you read?
Wrong article.
Ditto above.
You are an idiot.

I hope that helps.

i believe they are going to use rom instead of flash for the firmware like they are in the euro versions of the psp to prevent custom firmwares

what would the rom do to prevent hacking? ahh this is making me angry cuz now we have to spend more money to get the next PSP

Smokethis – there already is an 8 gig memory stick O.o

i have some other question for you

i ask is it hack proof you siad for 67 points
you said its too big thats funny cause thats what your mom told me last night

Lolz, I like how someone said a hard drive is bigger than a PSP. Yea, so ima guess the 60gig iPOD’S are all memory sticks huh?

As for the new design, it will only interest me when…

1. It’s hack enabled.
2. It costs dirt cheap
3. If I get a cookie

…nuff said

Makes me wish they’d have kept the downgrader exploit secret. Then there would have been a chance to see homebrew on the new PSP.

Wow. way to copy the Nintendo series. Nintendo keeps updating the same system over and over, like the Game Boy Advance series, and now the Nintendo DS series. but they do it cuz they are improving on the problems the previous system had. this sounds like a PSP2 rather than a improved PSP. but whatever, even with that stuff, think about how practical it would be to buy if you have the original PSP already. not worth it in my eyes, unless you don’t have a PSP yet. i’ll continue to play every super Nintendo and Sega genn. games ever made for my PSP, thanks.

this sorta sucks but you could maybey get the older ones cheaper but im gonna have to get one of those but id rather just have a 8gig ms for my old one if u can’t do anything w/ it

yea i dont this will be slimmer guess screen will be same. i like the loghter idea and battery i could care less,casue my sht jst lasts forever. the only reason they will have a rom based firmware is becasue they dont plan on upgrading(i guess) either way i like it but dont need it. ill problyget it when it becomes hackable, maybe this will intrest DAX?

I thought it was in october…

http://e3.gamespot.com/story.html?sid=6174199&pid=939453&tag=top_stories;title;6

Just wondering, is the tv-out signal produced from usb-port?
If is, then there is no need to get newer PSP model… I guess someday there will be new custom firmware based on fw 3.60 :)

I, for one, hope that it is Hack-proof.
The new PSP being secure would encourage actual developers to create more games for the system without the worry of the rampant piracy that hombrew/custom firmware has brought. You guys complain constantly and tell Sony to give up but this is why they have to make sure that it’s secure, not for you, for them, but for the game company’s themselves.
That being said, having the old PSP still hacked and the new one being secure, one could expect the best of both worlds with homebrew and new games on the old one.

http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/sonys-thinner-lighter-psp-hands-on/

Unless this version of the psp has a second nub. Whats worth another $200 for another one. Wow it’s gonna give you a few games also. Cool. That’s gonna get me to the store and buy one right now. I can’t wait to get another PSP. I’m gonna go part out at the store right now. Where’s my camping gear @. Damn dog pee’d on the sleeping bag. Guess I’ll have to freeze.

SONY, What a let down. Where’s all the shit that was suppose to be made and released for the one that was already released.

Seems funny how they can sit there and bitch about losing sales and revenue. but, They can go out and make new hardware. If I wasn’t so into Playstation, I’d sell my PS1, PS2, PSP. I sure and the hell aint gonna go out and buy a PS3. Specially for $600/$500.

I think Sony is one back assworded Company. They say one thing and do another. Here’s what you can look forward for and but hey, You aint gonna get it cause We’re just telling you that so you’ll buy one.

thank god….

new hardware & software = new hack vunerablilities = new custom firmware :D

awsome, thx sony

Hahaha a new fw waiting to be hacked, more homebrew and such, but to fork out more for a redesigned machine sucks

Yes! bout time they officially announce the PSP Slim.
I am going to buy it after its hacked though, any pics of it?

ill bet the “faster loading” is just the psp clocked at 333mhz..haha what a laugh, we all got that already, i just hope they dont make games only for the new system…that would suck

fuck

I just hope we can customize the XMB and stuff…that’s what I use CFW for…

well yea this is old news they have been talkin about a new psp lyke they did for the DS. i cant believe this is a surprise to u guys

there really might not be a difference software wise they are most likey gonna keep the eboot form and still gonna send updates just like nintendo did with the ds and i guarentee its gonna be hackable

I was hoping for a more stylish one (p.s. they got pics of it on other sites). It looks no different, the mockups looked better. They should have intergrated memory and advertised it as an”hd” mobile media player. Contest the ipod and the zune with its huge screen. Also, they should have intergrated the mic and camera. Then they could have advertised it as a great video and picture camera. Along with good advertising they could have sold me on buying a new one. There is no reason to buy this new psp. Barley anything surprising besides it “slimness” which isn’t a big hardware advancement. The only way they are going to sell these things if they have the current psps dirt cheap ($99?) and have the slim take over the original price ($125). Imagine, if they were able to have built in memory around the 100gbs they could really kick off the psp as a media player, they have the technology but they insist on keeping the memory stick (another sony format that isn’t a success).

I’ll wait until after I get the thumbs up that it is able to be hacked. No point in getting it otherwise.

Wow I wasent to impressed by the looks of it. It looks identical from a far view but when Kaz filipped it around it did look thiner, but not by much. Hopefully good things will happen with it.
[Watching G4 E307 Live now] =)

I can’t comment on the PSP-lite internal functions and hackability.

But based on the engadget pictures there seems to be minor improvements on the exterior like the relocated earphone-remote plug and speaker hole and smoothed out the edges that cause a bit abrasion on my current PSP.
But it’s no PSP2 as it still got that horrible UMD drive!

Unless it’s hacker/homebrew friendly and gets rid of the terrible UMD drive, and maybe replaces the UMD drive with a second battery compartment and accept SD cards(will never happen);…
… until Sony actually improves the PSP then I willn’t even think one bit of getting a PSP-2/lite.

Sony is really not helping the PSP with is current look or style hey are sticking with. It is a update to the last PSP not a PSP2 like some think it is. All they did really was upgrade small features and smooth it out. I thought they would at least answer the call of their customers by adding another analog stick and really making it thinner with the camera and mic and so forth as already mentioned. $200 isnt a bad price for it but damn make that shit more attractive then the current version we have. Not leave it be and just do some lazy ass minor work. Dont get me wrong I love my PSP but if your gonna make a upgrade or improve something make it more attractive and add what the customer wants.

Fuckin please make 2 analog sticks FUCK!!!

ok first of all, this was old news. This has been talked about for a long while now (I’m talking 4months ago or so), all they did was confirm it’s existence. Also as for homebrew, well I don’t think I’d buy it until an exploit is found. I’m more worried on how this will impact the homebrew comunity. PSP hacking will now have a new set of rules one for the old PSP and the new one. This will confuse many noobs and not to mention make things a little harder for the old PSP users to continue enjoying homebrew… I guess what I’m trying to say is, this kinda sux for us, yet I really do like the new model… I just wish I were rich so I can afford both >_>

Any ideas on when PSP GPS is coming to North American shores?

ill wait till someone hacks it before i buy it plus once someone hacks it PRICE DROP!!!! lolz cant wait though

i probably wont bother with this thing unless some PS3 hacks start happening soon. My guess is the PSP was kind of like a prototype for the PS3 as a bigger design, and they learned from the security flaws found in the PSP’s release when they designed it. Now after it’s been out about a year with no real homebrew, they have decided to go back and apply that design to become a replacement for the PSP so they could move forward without enabling the homebrew scene any further. It’s probably going to be the same as the PS3- encrypted internal memory, isolated DRM subsystem, etc.

Not so interesting news, now that DAX is retired. :(
Anyway…im seeing how much its going to take hackers to haxor this thing off.

Cheers.

Sorry to break it to everyone but this new psp has no IR, so No IR keyboard control!

Wow that sure is pointless…

I’ll buy one if they’ve fixed that fucking pointless power / hold switch…

Apparently, the new PSPs will have Video Out built in, this is a seller for me, how awesome would it be to hook up your PSP to your Television and play it big screen. :)

here it is

http://gigazine.jp/img/2006/08/31/new_psp/new_psp.jpg

i seen the new psp image and it doesn’t looked like the old one. I hope we can use the accessory and the UMD on the old psp to new one. If it not they’re trying to scammed your money.

This kinda pissed me off…my psp broke a month ago and i just got a new custom firmware psp in perfect condition in the mail today and later on that day found out there is actually going to be a redesign, well imo i think they’re going to try their best to get it as hack-proofed as they can before it comes out, so i guess i can use my old psp for the homebrew shit and even though i hate to say this….and just buy the redesign psp for playing actual psp games and all the few extras that come with it mostly the video out option.

and 2 analogs pls!

Maybe this could be the design
http://www.generationmp3.com/generationpsp/images/Tigrou/Niouzes/new_psp_concept.jpg
it looks simple enough

looks a little to samey to me…all these features couldnt they have implemented them in a FW update, and 8gig hardrive…theres 8gig memory cards now with 4gig ones going dirt cheap…waste of money i reckon, money which could be used to make good games :( oh well

Hey guys, check this out… with short video of the new PSP. Specially look at the end of this movie…

http://www.t3.co.uk/news/247/games/psp/psp-2-thin-and-lite

Sweet! Can’t wait to hack this thing.

i hope sony will use the DA FW OE 3.40

That sure is a nice thought, them taking in something the hacher scene has worked so hard to keep up, but no. But that video showed FW 3.60, meaning that you can downgrade it all the same as the old ones! hack away, DAX’s replacement…..hope someone steps up

i can only say nobody do buy it because got no extras like a cam or 2 usb ports or duoble card reader its onyl a bit slim sony will lose much money this psp wil nobody buy

huh it don’t look too bad but I kinda like the PSP i already got but i’ll get me one o these too eventually just because of the TV output that way I can take porn n plug it in anywhere.. no more plastic sandwich plastic baggies over the PSP while masturbatin’!

I gonna buy this before it gets hacked cuz 1 I’m almost 100% sure someone will hack it and 2 after it got hacked they will prolly sell it in the stores with a higher fw

not worth it no infra red and no dark alex psp war might be on a down hill idk i love how my psp is i might see my self buying it in the future i hate the umd tray looks like a pain in the ass granted i wont use it (i use backups) [lot quicker] and imagin hoq long we will wait tell it gets hacked like the originall psp

They’re a little late, if they had come up with this sooner i would’ve bought that one :(

i might buy 1 just for tv deal i stream vids on my psp from pc to psp via pimpstreamer 1ce it comes out on the new psp well good by to dvds :)

i might buy 1 just for tv deal i stream vids on my psp from pc to psp via pimpstreamer 1ce it comes out on the new psp well good by to dvds :)

I’m glad i got an extended warranty on my psp as i knew something like this would happen. So when it comes out all i have to do is take it back and say the UMD’s dont play any more and BAM i get the new psp free.

will it still run dgs? it had ferm 3.50 on movie i wonder .. can we still down grade then cfw it?

I want this psp sooooo bad. Hackeable or not.

Five words: F A K E ! I don’t believe it… it is the same story with the firmware 3.00 a year ago. In the fake videos was cool that 3.00 psp with it’s fake features which some of us believed it is true. And another thing: If this thing it is true I really doubt it will cost 199 $. It is a very good price but, too cheap to be real :P. Pardon me for my bad english.

im saveing up summer job money rite now good thing i found out 1 day b 4 my pay day lol

Did anybody read the PSP’s FirmwarE?! 3.50!

waste of time , my psp is lite enough and small ,theres nothin clever about this new psp ,where is the 2nd anolog ,a proper tv out ,internal memory and or usb hard drive
support ? apart from that what about the poor sound of the psp as i think we all want louder sounding movies and games.

if it had a proper tv out ( it may have)
better sound
and more expansion for memory sticks
a second independant anolog
possibly 2x battery support
bluetooth and ir

it may be worth buying if you dont have a psp
but apart from that a big waste of tiem and
i really dont get why they bring a new one out
seeing as the psp is dead due to psp iso’s on
custom firmware ,no one wants to touch psp
and create a game for it ,please ask your self
(would you bring a game out if its going to be
on torrent 30mins later ??????)

custom firmware is great but there shouldnt have been iso support ,this would have stoped the constant official firmwear updates from sony tryin
to stop homebru.

the psp is dead, long live emulation

mabe a fake but if it were true it would/should be cheaper ,as all consoles that go through the redesign are mostly done in a way so the unit is built more cost efectively with cheaper newer parts.

lol i think it said the fw was 3.50 isn’t there a downgrade for that.

i recon it will make sence if the firmware is on ram not flash ,this mabe the reason for the new psp ,will totaly stop all custom firmware and hacks/exploits in the future.

this alone would see games developers jumping on board to make games for the psp once more.

and if this is true ,then theres no need for expanded memory sticks or anything like that as no one would have a use for 8gig or more memory when you can only put mp3/jpegs and game saves on it.and with it having tv out ,i can see this was the one thing the psp really lacked in and everyone wanted.

so yeh ,prolly real and not really any good to the homebru community

part of me thinks ,could i rip out my custom firmware psp and put it in the new slim line model with the added tv out ??????????

AHAHAHH FUCK THAT NO INFARED PORT SCREW DAT SHIT my tv needs psp

Tv output looks like a really nice feature:P

i actually got a little scared when i saw how slim it was for the first tiime. soo uhh anyone got any idea about what they just said about the infra red being moved. i find that to be a big disapointment. if anything i find this new psp to be a crippled little boy compared to the original psp’s that we have. who belives that sony has just invented yet another huge profit loss.

DONT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU WANNA SAY GOODBYE TO KEYBOARD SUPPORT (IT WAS STATED THAT SONY REMOVED INFRA RED AKA IR)

WHAT?????
they put psp better then never!
now i have a question, can be even better? xD

this to toooooooooooo good…………………not!!!!!

pi keyboard support is available through serial cable as well as ir.

I wanted to see how Acid-Mods will recreate this one.

common people,sony has a plan. 1 there is a official iso loader in the firmware. 2, the psp slim comes with a 1gb memstick “least needed for a iso”. and has better ps3 connectivity. and now sony is hosing downloadable full games throough ps3 home. I think sony is going to have downloadale exclusive game for the psp so you have to buy a ps3.

btw another hint is teh crappy umd drive suspeneded by paperclips.

I wish dax was around so he could crash their little evil party.

holy crap that looks useless |:

i called gamestop they told me if the system was due on sept they would of known this a while ago so there for it is a false statement it will not be due in september words from a gamestop store owner aka the manager…..

A wanted and expected something nicer. There somthing in the air, sony has somthing up there sleeves. remember they let the public see what they have, but just like when there screening a movie for the frist time, if the plublics not satisfied, they will change it again thats why there is no real release date on it. and sorry for making fun of someone mom out there

hahaha, are those speakers above the controls? It looks kinda ugly.
Who knows maybe there will be better sound.

all i know is… I WANT IT and only beacuse i want to get it befor my frends do just like every outher system out there i beat my frends to it :)

God damn it sony
get it RIGHT

PUT ON A RIGHT THUMBSTICK
THAT is what the PSP needs
that, and a MUCH longer battery life

Its a playstation PORTABLE
not a tv system

sony nobody likes the new psp, hahahahahaha

Yo get this New Hardware = 1st and only firmware to donwgrade to(3.60) + TA087
Im getting this from the other Boards(TA082+)cause their 1st firmware was 2.71 or 2.60. That means the patch for those boards not TA087 will be patched in TA087 not to mention Dark_Alex was the one that made HEN(Homebrew Enabler) will and probably is already patched. The new exploit will have to work harder then ever before. :( Im sad about it cause its probly true. DAX should of never left before this happened cause he was the heart and lungs of this scene and knew what he was doing. We still got Ookm n Noobz though.(hopefully they wont leave for a while) Sony is loved and hated by this scene and will be like that till pspv1.x is dead. DAX live and prosper. (dont hate on this comment)

naw i think there has to be more features other then a tv output.I bet theres a whole lot of features we still don’t know about.Hell they still have another month,so you know they aren’t done making it complete yet.

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!

peole need 2 learn how 2 spell….

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!

No Infrared!!!

Sony has previously made an official statement saying that their company is focused on Multimedia more than gaming. So they have and will continue to do so, on improving their multimedia capabilities over their game capabilities.

The PSP will have better options to watch video, listen to music etc. As will the PS3.

To them, the Multimedia capabilities are #1 on their TODO list. Not games. Which sucks for gamers…

Sweet! I’m just mad cause at some point i’ll have to trow a few more bucks to sony.. They should really let us trade the old one for a slim ver. and some extra cash xD that would be nice..

man..psp rocks my world everyday on the way work.. god bless sony :D*

OMG wad concerns me is the Battery LIFE!!! i always play games halfway and it switch off on me T.T and i never save it

dang hopefullly someone can hack this cause i dont want to buy it if we cant :/

wut it needs is another analog stick… that would make psp badass

ok. this is just a waste. why make i psp that has no IR, no 2nd analog stick, and look almost the same. the only thing i see cool is the wifi switch. i hate when your on the internet and it shuts off the wifi cuz u moved ur hand a bit. also ill only buy it if it is hackable and has a hard drive. also, on the back it is flat. that means that without the curves it will be no very comfy. looks like even if we did hack it, no IR stuff. sry sony, but this time, im really disappointed.

-xflame-

the only reason i would ever have bought it is if it had the built in camera…but even if it did have it, its mega-pixel count would be obsolete like 1 week later…

HELLO MY FANS IAM WORKING ON A NEW SITE AT THE MOMENT TO HIDE FROM THE SONY COCKS SOON I WILL HACK THIS NEW PSP AND HOMEBREW COOMING SOON TO THE PS3 THANKYOU TO ALL…………………………..

WHERES THE SECOND ANALOG?!

great ps2 all over again oohh new slim come buy new fw that isnt hacked come buy oooohhh i asy PASSSSSSSSSSS mine works fine and is hacked i think ill stick with the og / newly announced fatty psp

i was looking at the fw version and i first thought i was 3.50, but after i zoomed in a couple of times, it does look as if it is 3.60. im not sure about my decision on this yet. im still trying to figure it out.
mostly it looks like a 3.50. my question is, why would sony put out a demo video of a hacked fw? 3.51 has been out for a bit. maybe cuz when they made that pspSlim fw. they were only at fw 3.50 and they did not want to make a SLIM 3.51? im confused…

what i dont understand is if people are so upsessed with hacking/developing and want to do things legally, why dont they just get a chumby (wireless device made by a group of hackers, and they encourage hacking of their device)?

wouldent it just make everyone happier?

these things only cost 150 anyways from http://www.chumby.com….

anyways i dont wanna sound like a damn marketer (they piss me off).

What SONY need to put on a new PSP is motion sensors.Would SONY call it “SIXAPSP”?

Well,
what I really miss is a second analog stick, but Sony can’t create a new PSP with a second one
-> the new games wouldn’t be compatible with the old PSP -> the PSP is not that economic miracle, so Sony will take care of not splitting the community

BTW: The new firware is 3.60, but this is not the release version…

why not try putting some more buttons on the mofo so fighting games and sports conversion’s wont be so awkward . Then it would truly be classified as Playstation Portable, worthy of me paying more money$$$$$$

Sounds neat and all, but no Infrared? I think Ill stick with my keyboard supporting PSP for now. Now, to actually get a keyboard… hehe.

I do like the longer battery life, and I hope that harddrive access thing comes in an update (and gets subsequently hacked.)

sigh… i don’t think this PSP is better… longer battery life? there’s many 3rd party batteries that has better performance… tv out? it’s a handhelds… like i need a tv to play it… and no infrared? even i’m still didn’t know what to do with the infrared, it means a downgrade from the original PSP….

dudes stick better with your old psps because this seems to be a piece of shit.. no infrared=no keyboard and no universal remote :) and you can always buy a 3rd party battery (which are anyway better in performance) i bet that sony will do anything to keep it unhackable (nothing is possible but still it would be a waste of time)
the only good thing seems to be the tv output :)
To hell with this shit they didnt even bother to add a second analog and the UMD door seems to be gayer than ever……..I hope many people agree with me….Oh and Sony if you do something
DO IT RIGHT!!!!!!!

i think that m33 might hack that 3.60 slim psp! i hope! :D

sony is dumb… they should have put another thumbstick in… im very disapointed.. alot of ppl were looking forward to that.

i think the new drive-door looks more robust, anyways nothing new added which makes me wanna buy it. the tv-out thing is cool but still do you need it when you already have dvd players/bluray players, ps3, 360, wii at home? :\

the psp slim is the same thickness as the original psp except they took off the thickness of the ‘bumps’ on the back, on both sides.on the original psp if you measure the middle width,it is the same as the slim.The only good thing about the slim is that it loads games faster and it is a little(and i mean a little) lighter.so i will not be getting it.

sony is making us look like fools. they add some of this and remove some of that… where is the innovation to that? in the first place they should put the 2nd nub there and second, if you removed the IR might as well put bluetooth. SONY… read some freakin’ forums for crying out loud!!!!

and the UMD door… not to good. if they read our comments. i hope they will not release it on September until they make some MAJOR changes on the psp slim.

slimmer psp… would create even worse cramping while gaming for hours.

Trying to read psp-hacks comments makes me break down and cry.

:(

if there were 2 analog sticks the newer games wouldnt be supported on the original psp.
The psp is great its features dont ware off quickly the new ones will; they should have spent more time finding out from queries and recommendations on how to make it better if its just a better evalution of the original:
longer battery life
Hardrive or more memory card slots
larger sized umd’s for better quality mutimedia.

at a slightly more expensive price to give people the option. Maybe they shouldnt have bothered at all.

unless you are focused on gettin the tv out do not buy

the reason that there isnt two analog sticks is that the newer game supportin the new feature would work on the original. There isnt enough original features to make us spend that same anount of money agen

sorry i meant wouldnt

hay, cant we just come up with a hack that gives the current PSP a video out.
fuck them if they dont want to give us two thumbsticks from the beguining!!!
the one weve got now has IR, the new one wont- how is that better?????? -pises me off!!
i personaly want to find a way to utalize Flash cards, or just my usb zipdrive.
those formats are cheaper than sony’s crap.
if the hacks and mods keep coming for the old one maybe noone will buy the new psp -LOL! fuck you sony!
