Buy Old Phat PSP vs. New Slim Model?

Question

I have $600 and want to buy a Sony PSP but I don't know which one to get, here's my problem:

1 - I can just go buy that the new PSP Slim model pack for 200 bucks

2 - I can buy the old fatter one for half the price ($100) from a friend with two games.

The reason why this 100 dollars makes a difference is that I'm also going to buy a PS3, if I get the 200 dollar one I'll have to wait till I get another 100 to buy the PS3.

What's your opinion and why.

Tell me some Pros and Cons of the Old Fat PSP vs. the new slimmer model.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Well both handheld's are basically identical except the psp slim and lite is thinner hence its name and it loads games a few seconds quicker if its going to save you 100 dollars why not just buy that one?

Answer 4

Ok Scrap that.

Your Choices are

1.Buy the Phat PSP+2 games

2. Wait untill October for the new PSP to come out

So you get a game +4GB for $200,

ITS UP TO YOU THO,

Details:

"Sony has just officially announced the PSP-3000 at their press conference. Speculate no more folks, here's the skinny."

"According to David Reeves, the PSP-3000 will have its own built-in microphone, and has an enhanced LCD screen that will “increase intensity and the number of colours that can be displayed – and is easier to view in natural light."

*Update* We now also got word from the US Sony blogs that the PSP-3000 is also coming to North America as part of the Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters PSP Entertainment Pack bundle. They've also now announced a PSP 4GB Memory Entertainment Pack which includes a 4GB memstick PRO Duo.

The Entertainment Packs with the updated PSP-3000 will be retailed for the same standard price of US$ 199.99. And later on this year, Sony will be releasing the PSP-3000 Core Pack, which will also keep its regular price of US$ 169.99.

Answer 5

get the phat one because the new one just has more colors lightweight and grey so get the phat one with 2 games so you can get the ps3 instead of buying basically the same system because the psps both work the same so you can get a ps3 so you'll leave with a ps3 and psp

Answer 6

PSP-2000 (current slim) has more RAM, TV-out and lower power consumption (longer battery life). In addition ti that PSP-3000 (upcoming PSP) has a better screen and built-in mic. But slim models aren't rigid as a fat model (fat one has a stainless steel frame inside).
