Smaller, Sleeker PSP

Sony just announced that the new PSP is a sleeker and more streamlined version of the original PSP system. It is 33 percent lighter and 19 percent slimmer than the current version. The new PSP system will also have a thinner, more efficient battery, 64MB of system memory and video-out capabilities allowing consumers to enjoy their games at 480 x 272 resolution and movies at full standard-definition resolution on any progressive scan TV.

In addition to the “Piano Black” model launching in September in the Core Pack, the new PSP will also be available in two new limited edition colors in North America: A collector’s edition “ Ice Silver” PSP will be included in the Daxter PSP Entertainment Pack in September; and a limited edition “ Ceramic White” PSP, including a Darth Vader silk screen on the unit, will be featured in the Star Wars Battlefront PSP Entertainment Pack launching in October. SCEA plans to make more than 140 new software titles available this fiscal year for PSP, in addition to the other great entertainment content coming on UMD (Universal Media Disc). www.sony.com
