New PSP and old PSP thickness compared (Source: Joystiq) New PSP hardware able to charge via a USB connection On Wednesday morning’s Sony E3 press conference, a lighter, slimmer and more power efficient PSP was revealed. It was also said that the new version of the PSP would feature quicker loading times, though Sony did not immediately detail the enabling technology behind this improvement. Rather than an improved UMD drive, the new PSP features a new UMD caching feature that loads game data into on-board memory. The added RAM to aid loading is new to the upcoming hardware and is not found in the current PSP. Photos captured during Joystiq’s hands-on with the unit reveals the UMD Cache function is a feature of the PSP’s new operating system. The UMD Cache function presumably can enable faster loading on all PSP game titles without any further work by developers. The demo unit at E3 operates using version 3.60 firmware.

It will with the Frickin Sweet bundle.

i would bet that the Darth Vader PSP flys off of shelves...

 

[jesusofwales]

Hmm, I might actually sell my current one (launch model) and pick up the slim version; the extra battery life and and UMD caching are genuinely useful additions and the IR port won't be missed. If it was a purely aesthetic overhaul, I would be far less willing to put down any money for it.

Does anyone actually know where the TV out port is? Or is it just done through USB?

 

[empty9091]

Ah what comes in the bundle?

 

[Sideburns]

looks the same in all the pictures I've seen lol. I'm sure it feels different though...but I didn't mind the old PSP in my hands...*shrugs*
I didn't know they had any good games out...lol. I sold mine a while ago because of lack of games.

lawl, more ram for what? You mite get faster loading speeds and can hold more textures in one level than the older PSP but the Graphics are still the same thing.

I like how they have the 8 foot tall Chewbacca show off the "smaller, lighter PSP".

Actually it was said a few of the Gamspot E3 Stage Demo videos that the extra memory and core speed will be taken advantage of in future PSP releases.
Battlefront Renegade Squadron going to be the first to take actual advantage of it.
But the new firmware update will do it anyways for current games.
