The New PSP
Could the new psp Slim and Lite system truly be better than the traditional PSP system? Sony and Microsoft have an ongoing competition with the PS3 and Xbox 360 systems on the market, so Sony needed an edge to drive up sales of its systems and games. They realized that a new hand-held gaming system was reaching too far, but an improvement could easily update the old hand held system and give them increased sales. The aftermarket company's have also jumped on the band wagon with new playstation portable accessories to support the new design. The New PSP FeaturesSeptember 6, 2007 was the launch date for the new Playstation Portable Slim & Lite. The name summed up its brand new look. On the surface the hand held console looked the same, but upon picking it up, the difference was immediately noticeable. The new Sony Playstation Portable was 33% lighter and 19% slimmer. However, the real improvements are inside the little hand held gaming console and the newest psp accessories now available. So what can you expect from the new psp gaming unit? You can expect shorter load times for one. The designers at Sony doubled the internal memory to 64 MB this addresses the most common complaint about the original system. The LCD screen is now 50% lighter. The D-pad is raised a bit higher, thus helping your fingers gain better control when playing. It also now has the ability to charge via its USB port while gaming. This was something the original could not do. Before, you could only charge the system while not gaming. New psp games and accessories
Games are a big expense when it comes to playing. Most people elect to purchase games versus renting them. This was a great concern with sony's psp playstation portable. Would the old games still play on the new system or would players be forced to buy all new games if they wanted the new system? Rest easy, because the games are compatible. Also most new playstation portable accessories work with both systems!
The new Playstation hand held gaming system will not always be the only game in town. Nintendo is answering back with a Nintendo DS Lite. For now though, Sony can ride high on its incoming revenue from all of the gaming bundles. The limited edition PSP's will fly off the shelves even at a whopping $199.00 and will probably go for twice that on Ebay. The gaming world is a very competitive arena between rival companies and they must constantly reinvent their software and consoles to be faster and better. There is little doubt that Sony has met this challenge head on. Technology is always progressing and moving forward in design and function. Some of the improvements are tremendously beneficial and enhance the technology, whereas some are actually a set back. When the new psp debuted, many users were skeptical about whether or not the new system would still play the same games as the old system, and if the new playstation portable accessories would be better.
