Sony is on a media blitz right now, but the biggest news is the release date and pricing for the PSP Slim in Europe. Details within.

 

€169 isn't that bad...I mean that's what, about £115? Suppose it depends on whether they use the 1:1 exchange rate that's normally associated with electrical/gaming devices sold in the UK.

I may pick one up eventually, not for the original games/VOIP/GPS stuff, but for the ever increasing homebrew scene. If the N64 emulator improves that'd be worth the price alone imo.

Has this not got an extra 32MB of RAM too? Any idea on how this will be used compared to the old model?

 

Yeah it has, loading times are much faster, theres a vid on Kotaku somewhere. TBH i wouldnt mind one but i just may pick up a cheepie original one when people start selling them off to upgrade.

 

you'd have thought it would have been a UMD of Spiderman 3 (since the PSP doesn't have the ability to play BR)

 

apparently, Asda will be selling the originals off for £50 each (according to the nice lady behind the Electricals counter I spoke to on Monday).

 

I prefer my DS, but for homebrew then the PSP may be worth the 50 quid note...

 

Really? when is that mark?

 

wish I had the dinero......my cell phone's games suck so...this would be nice.....

 

I want to know what it looks like!

I might consider one, i had one over last summer to play GTA and ridge racer Twas great but didnt use it after that and so sold it ( at profit! )

 

Well price sounds OK!!!

I personally took the DS over the PSP, which is still to no regret in my choice. As for the spiderman bundle coming with a BR Disc version of the film, well that is basically saying you are buying a new PSP, so therefore u must own a PS3? (that and the fact that sony have to get rid of them failing by the day Blue Ray, and maybe while at it, just maybe, take a look at what people actually want as a consumer).... U only have to look at the big company's that are backing the HD-DVD side.

 

Should be from today I think.

 

Marks & Spencer almost sold a bunch of DS's for £39.99 each but were swiftly removed. Asda maybe employing the same tactic lol

 

Better late than never? PSP Slim
