PSP rev. 2

[mr. nails]

so, i see the new revision is out and maybe it's time to get one of these. hopefully i can find some of the older umd's for sale @ frys or even on amazon or something. they had some really cool movies/anime i'd like to have. also, upcoming final fantasy games, castlevania and many more to cum out for this. not too much differences in this new rev. more responsive d-pad and (this is kinda cool) the new input to watch the psp on tv. that may be cool. idk. this is a good thing? or maybe overkill on sony? urs for $169.99 - $199.99

The only difference between this and the old PSP is a new mobo, gayer umd drive, different memory stick slot, and the tv out feature. They got rid of the IR on top of the PSP. Oh but it is a little slimmer than the old PSP. Basically my point is there is no real new reason to get a PSP. I'm still personally going to trade mine in at best buy for the slim tho.

the TVout its a really cool function.

If I had to choose I'd rather buy the rev2 instead, even if its a little more expensive.

The TV feature sounds cool but I'll stick with my regular PSP.

....shorter battery loife.Apparantly they say the new PSP uses less power and is more efficient with a smaller battery.

i was cruisin' thru wally world last nite and they seem to have a lot of cool rpg's on the psp, but over 1 bill still sounds a bit to much. idk, we'll c.

What you do is open the drive manually with your finger and then just set the UMD and close it. I hear it is a little awkward to get used to and its cheap feeling.

i'm really close, yet undecided on whether or not imma get a psp. i was @ wally world last nite looking @ them, but i need some help. do any of u guys know how to tell the different between revision 1 and revision 2 on the box? where does it say on the box that it's revision 2? kinda want that info. someone got a ss of the revision 2 box art or something showing the differences plz?
