You should defintley get it! The Slim is a huge advancement-- and now Skype will be on it! :D Something to look towards, plus it holds great videos, and is a huge upgrade from the PSP-1000 series.

slim have more memory(64Mb).

it`s thinner.the battery can work more time.

just the more memory can make it to run more games,but the fat can`t.

I have the old psp, and I tried using my friend's slim psp and it just felt like cheap plastic. the old one felt more rugged and sturdy instead of the cheap plastic feel. i'm not trying to offend anyone, it just felt that way. Know what I mean? I guess I use the old one too much and like that sturdy feel.

I may upgrade eventually for the added functionality (TV out, Skype, etc.) but at the moment it's not a priority, so long as it still plays games.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the huge improvement of the d-pad and the more tactical feel of the buttons. That alone compelled me to upgrade ;) Also, it seems a lot more comfortable to hold during long play sessions. I ended up getting the white star wars slim which also really never shows fingerprints like my phat did.

never really looked back after getting slim.

on the other hand i still have my fat one though. the only really crappy thing about the slim is the UMD drive cover which feels pretty fragile, but i'm hoping for something like a PGP that was made for the original PSP.

I just upraded from the origional today. Love how the D-pad feels. The screen seems to look better too. The only thing I don't like is the UMD door.

The slim is alright except that the faceplate doesn't protect the screen. What that means is that the screen can be very easily scratched, and the liquid/debris can actually get lodged on the edges of the screen. Oh and the UMD door sucks, I don't care if they make it lighter or slimmer, but cmon that's cutting corners a little too much.

I have one original Piano black PSP and one Felicia Blue PSP 2000 (i guess thats the official name since thats what all the commercials are saying). I just bought it off an impulse when I was shopping around. I love it and it feels really weird to hold the old one in my hands. It also makes playing Tekken MUCH easier with the raised buttons and all.

maybe someday I'll buy one, but lets get the pros an cons together

pros

it is in fact more portable (slimmer and lighter), the D-pad is really improved, 64Mb of ram, tv-out, skype, you can use a phat's stamina battery so it'll last much longer (with another battery cover of course), I think that because of the ram the browser works better

cons

it does feel like cheap plastic, the umd door is crappy, it is more fragile, I don't know you but I think it shows more fingerprints because is all shiny and glossy on both sides and I really hate that, tv-out is not that good because you need a tv that supports progressive scan and upscaling so it will play nicely

So, I have no idea what to do, and meanwhile I'll stay with my fatty psp

In my opinion, i like the slim one. It's more lighter and faster loading times.

I did the upgrade. Don't regret it one bit. I really like the lighter weight and I got a component cable so I can display on my HDTV.

yeah the browser works better, games load faster, the d-pad face buttons and nub feel better and being able to use the original or stamina battery does increase the battery life by double or more.

as for fingerprint dont really notice them on the silver PSP, dont let the reduced weight make you think the slim is made of cheap plastic it's stronger than it looks, the door is about the same as before they only removed the spring loader. oh and tv-out is a great feature, but if you only have a standard def tv you can still use the feature for videos on your memory stick or umd movies.

I want the Slim for the video out, does it work well? Is it worth the extra money?
