 I would still recommend the slim over the "fat," but you can't beat $99. Valid to US residents only!

Wow.

Thats awesome. But, I don't like the idea of the used systems. Scratches galor.

I am also woried about how Crisis Core and Birth By Sleep will run on a phat, after seeing that video compairison.

But wow. Instead of spending $230 for a daxter pack with Jeanne D' Arc, I can buy a 2 gig stick with Daxter, Jeanne D' Arc, Loco Roco, and a UMD movie, for the same price. Would it be worth it?

You can always bug your local Gamestop rep to check the system before you buy. I'd at least consider taking a look.

I'll take a look when I have the money for the slim. I'll make a final verdict then.

How do you think CC:FFVII and KH:BBS will run on a phat?

All the games that are made for the PSP will run fine on either system the original or slim PSP. Thats like saying some games might not run well on the original PS2 compared to the compact PS2.

Geez, people should stop thinkin that the slim produces better graphics, cuz that is not true. More ram is ment for the UMD cache so the 'performance' increase is only the load times. Crisis Core will and can be played on the phat, and it will look the same at the slim.

Alot of people are goin for the phat over the slim, cuz of the prices. Personally, I would never go for a used console, just cuz you never noe where it has been. But the new phats still worth the money. So what if its '20%' bigger, and you have to wait an extra 5 secs. And T.V. out defeats the purpose of it a portable playstaion. Ofcourse in the end, the choice it up to u.

Now ask ur self if psp is meant to be portable why would u want to play it on ur tv. If ur psp dropped wouldn't it bruise more so what u play it on ur tv thats what u have ps2 ps3 xbox360 and ps3 fors if u had to choose between playing psp slim on ur tv and ps3 or a console with better graphics than an handheld what would u shoose so stop saying psp slim makes psp look like chump change cause it doesn't.

I never said ANYTHING about the Slim having better graphics. Just watch that video. The loading between the battles really slows down the fluency of the game. It affects the gameplay.

This is why I hated the idea of the new model PSP getting more RAM.

it doesn't make the old model obsolete. Now load times are just improved is you own a Slim. I personally like the option.

But now devs are going to take advantage of the cache feature, so games like CC are going to be affected greatly.

Ok seriously this is ridiculous to argue over, neither PSPs are bad in any way. Who caresif the original PSP takes like 5 seconds longer or whatever to load Crisis Core than the slim. Your still playing the game either way on either system and it works fine so there is no reason there should be arguments over this.

Yeah, I agree. I just bought a used psp, and they're fine. Just make sure you ask for a used one, not a refurbished one, because refurbished means is was really messeed up and sent back to sony. not the worst if its the only one there, but still, not the beat. Oh, and a friend of mine imported crisis core and it runs fine on the fat psp, so no worries there...except that he can't read japanese, of course. Oh, and for those people worrying about slower loading times, i have one word for you: homebrew.
