the old psp is better, just when you hold the new psp u can feel it has cheep plastiicy feel of it puts me of from buying it. The older psp has a nice grip to it, The new psp has a crap umd mechanism.

I lovethe Slim PSP. The back of the Old PSP feels wierd personally, I perfer the iPod Nano-like material on the PSP Slims which makes it shiny. Also the thing is lighter, has TV Output and the buttons are raised a bit more.

My brother has the old fatty, and I just got the slim for Christmas. The slim is definitely better in both of our opinions

As an owner of both, I find that both models have their pros and cons. Having said that, I do prefer the Slim because it's so light, loads faster and looks freakin' awesome.

Keep telling yourself that to get to sleep at night pal, lol.

To be serious though, I can see where you come from in the cheap plastic feel you describe. On the other hand, I am keeping faith that Sony has build a case that is just as robust as the old PSP. The plastic has a way of making for a good grip to me as well for some reason, maybe it's just my skin - or the various chemicals that seep out of it. Either way, now that they have Internet Radio on PSP I love having my slim even more.

he's just mad he ain't got the slim psp and he's trying to make himself feel betterlightdarksamus

lol im glad sumone said it, i love my slim, so sleek and sexy. but i will admit that it does feel fragile, its only vice.

ive own both ay one point or another, and the slim is just better, you may LIKE it less, but its still better.

i like ford mustang's more then lamborghini's but lamborghini's are better.

The fat PSP is good for catching dust on the shelves.

The slim lets you get more into the game, you don't have to worry about holding that fat one up. I love the slim, i just want a black one instead of a silver.

Far prefer the slim, but it's not worth buying if you have a phat.

The new psp are fragile

a friend of mine dropped his from waist high height and now the UMD drive will not recognize UMD's

we then did some research and found that there is a steel chasis in the phat psp to protect from shock

to reduce the weight sony removed this from the slim

I had this very same thing happen to me. PSP slid off the bed and landed on the carpeted floor. After that no UMD's were recognized. Fortunatly I was able to take it back to Best Buy and they exchanged it for me. The hardest part was finding a store location that still had Daxter pack in stock.

My little brother dropped his on tile floor, and to my suprise, nothing broke. It works perfect. I had a fat PSP and gave it to my dad, so I could get a slim, and I absolutely love it. I find myself playing my PSP a lot more now, but that might just be because of the games coming out lately.

the slim is way better ..... as for it feeling weak dont let the weight fool you the slim is quite strong. Better screen, better controls, better power management (old battery give over 10hrs gameplay), quicker loads times, more internal memory, video out, better feel due to the reduced weight and rounder edges ...... really stop fooling yourself thinking the original is better than the slim it's really not :lol:
