Hi, gona pick up a PSP today. Any difference system wise between the PSP and the PSP slim lite?? Whats the best one to go for? and in terms of hard drive space, what are the sizes? do you have to by cards for extra space? i just want whatever one will work best with my PS3..

thanks!!

The slim has faster load times. I don't think you can get the old version in stores anymore.

The new (Slim or 2000) also works with Skype for voice calls over WiFi with an optional headset.

there is no hard drive in psp, you have to buy Memory Stick Pro Duo and depend on whether you are getting modded set or not, where modded psp download the game from internet illegally and put in the memory stick, else you buy umd disc games. memory stick come in many size up to 8gb for now.

You can buy a few PSone games from the Playstation Store to play on the PSP legally. Those one's will also work on the PS3 as well. You can even download PSP demos from the store too. Though as of right now, you gotta download them using your PC or PS3. I believe Sony is working on a method to access the store directly from your PSP, though I'm not sure when that'll be released.

Dont get a PSP they are the most overrated nonthing. Everyone that has one never plays the darn thing like me. There are no stellar fun games. And the point being spend the 200 on some blu rays etc.

Count Zero · 03-24-2008, 07:58 PM

I'd recommend getting one. They are finally getting into gear with some good games like Patapon, God of War, Final Fantasy: Crisis Core, Final Fantasy Tactics.

YouTube doesn't work although now I have a PS3 I just stream my web browser through that and YouTube works fine. I have heard an update will add the ability to play Youtube video on the PSP itself though.

Crisis Core?........!!!

Luis_A51 · 03-24-2008, 10:51 PM

the Slim has extra RAM for faster load times and for SKYPE. It also has video output capability for playing PSP games or movies on a TV.

I bought mine at the beginning of the month and I can easily recommend it. S far ive played God of War and Syphon Filter: Logans shadow, both very fun. Im getting Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops in the mail, buying FF7: Crisis Core this week and have Daxter unopened too. Ive got another 3-6 games I can think that I want to buy, but ive got to slow down atleast a bit hehe.

Im really looking forward to the "portable copy" comming on future BDs. Not only to watch them on the PSP on the road, but you can also hook it up to a TV and get DVD quality video.

The skype and internet radio are cool but I havent tried them yet. THe other big aspect I use is the PS3 related stuff. Downloading stuff from the PS store onto my PS3 then PSP is great. Remote play of PS1 games is great too.

that sucks dude. Mine was $270 for a black PSP, God of War, Syphon Filter: Logans Shadow and a 4gig Sony memory stick (all new)

Pauliesr · 03-24-2008, 11:36 PM

I've had mine for over two years and I use it all the time. I use it for music and games and movies. Especially love using when I'm travelling - either for something to do in the hotel room or when I'm up in the air flying to wherever. I did finally have to get a replacement battery after two years.
