My thoughts on the PSP 2000 (AKA Slim)
happyorangeman | 5:31 PM on 01.05.2008 5 comments


So about ten days ago I bought a new PSP SLIM (Darth Vader White Model). I was bored and had some store credit at FYE. Well after some playtime with Guitaroo Man I came away very impressed by the new model.

I know some people complain that it's flimsy and cheap feeling now, but I disagree. Aside from the new UMD door, (I'm more than sure it will break later on) I like the PSP Slim. The buttons are all laid out pretty well, except for the Analog Nub, my thumb starts to cramp after about 20-30 minutes. It's new design is not earth shattering but I like what Sony is doing with the Interface and the Ability to hook it up with my PS3 is pretty nice. I also got the Component Cables for the TV Out option and it looks pretty nice on my HDTV. It's just that games do not take up the full screen. Not a huge problem but if you have a smaller TV, it just doesn't make sense.

Yes I have custom firmware on it but I'm not going into details. I'll just say that it makes this little machine even better.

So I would recommend buying a PSP Slim. Just get some Custom Firmware on it so you can play some Double Dribble.

Would you get the PSP as a stand alone unit, meaning if you didn't have a PS3?

I would get it if I didn't have a PS3. That's just a nice extra. Oh and that guy did follow me out but I screamed "RAPE" and after I blew my predator whistle he was gone.
