Thanks. Update: September 21, 2007 «©NCSX» Sony downsizes the Playstation Portable slightly and injects a little bit of excitement into an otherwise sedate PSP market of late. The Slim & Lite PSP (aka the PSP-2000 stateside) is true to its namesake in that it's slimmer heightwise than the original and approximately 1/3 lighter. Pick one up without the battery installed and it's about as feather-like as a slim television remote. Home in closer on the unit and it looks just like the PSP-1000 but the UMD ejection slider is gone. To open up the UMD caddy, simply push it open with a finger. The d-pad and analog nub feel slightly springier and the buttons feel snappier but that might be a tactile illusion caused by the mild excitement in testing out a new piece of hardware this morning. According to Sony, additional ram has been built into the Slim PSP to improve loading times and we do detect some improvement when playing Burnout Legends. The battery for the Slim PSP matches the height reduction that the unit itself underwent but it's just as big as the original battery in terms of length and width. Perhaps the most welcome functionality upgrade for the Slim PSP is the video out capability which allows PSP movies to be viewed on a monitor or television. Please note that we have begun processing and shipping preorders for the Ceramic White, Piano Black, and Ice Silver versions of the Slim PSP but we will process and ship preorders for the Felicia Blue, Lavender Purple, and Rose Pink models on Monday when the remainder of our stock hits. Ceramic White - Jan Code: 4948872411516 Felicia Blue - Jan Code: 4948872411523 Ice Silver - Jan Code: 4948872411530 Lavender Purple - Jan Code: 4948872411547 Piano Black - Jan Code: 4948872411417 Rose Pink - Jan Code: 4948872411554 Dead Pixel Policy Please note that we will not accept any returns of the PSP because of dead-pixel problems. Yes, there are numerous reports of units with dead-pixel problems in the market. None of our suppliers or Sony themselves, apparently, will accept dead-pixel PSPs for return and you agree to accept this condition of purchase. This document is ©NCSX 2007. All rights reserved.
