PSP rev. 2

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.

there is not much difference in the new psp compared to the old psp i dont think im gona waste my money tbh

....shorter battery loife.

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.

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

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?

They are stopping the production of the fat PSP in favor for the slim one whcih is also called PSP 2000.
