Well I have a choice of getting a used PSP phat with a 2gb memory stick and 3 games (naruto, marvel ultimate alliance, and something else) for $70 dollars, or the brand new God of War or Daxter slim psp for regular price. Which one would you suggest I go with? Are the improvements in the PSP slim worth the extra cash?

The slim hands down the newer psp has improved memory and game space. Besides the games that you mentioned are crap. pay a little more and get the god of war. also the god of war comes with the superbad movie a 2gig memory stick the god of war game and a special ops game. Please respond

Phat PSP, 3 games, and a ProDuo for $70? Just go with the Phat. The extra "features" aren't really worth the $100-$130 extra, unless you have money to burn, of course.

If the new features on the PSP slim arent really worth the extra money, then I'll go with the phat I geuss. The God of War pack seems pointless if the slim PSP is not worth the money.

Unless you plan on using your PSP on your TV, then it's really pointless to spend the extra cash.

Go for the phat. I have one and I never felt the need to get the slim. Plus you get the memory card and the games almost for free (although they arent the greatest games ever). I dont think the GoW bundle is worth it considering the game has barely any replay value and is very short

I dont even think I'm gonna even play those games it comes with. I'll probably buy some new games with the money I save from buying the phat like Burnout Legends, GTA VCS, Tekken, and Wipeout (not sure which Wipeout to get though)

is the fat is in good condition get it fast. For one, it feels alot better in the hands (slim is harder to grip and a little more akward to feel (although it feels like a nice chang at first, many will agree the thickness feels better). The fat is cheaper, and your getting alot with it. Markvel ultimate allaince is a pretty cool game. The phat compared to the slim feels more expensive and not a cheap toy like the slim.

-Although spending an extra 130 bucks will get you a new psp that is lighter and slimmer and has tv input ports, its not worth it. I say get the phat psp and keep the extra money

Slim is slimer, obiously, and has the UMD Cache feature, which makes game load faster. The internet is also considerably faster, considering the Slim has double the internal memory of the phat.

I'd say go with the Slim, especially since GOW is better than all those three games combined. Also, the PSP is read, which is a bonus, and comes with the Superbad UMD.

On the slim: UMD cache, more memory (faster internet and game loading times), and tv output

on the 'phat': cheaper, slower internet, slower game loading

I'd always go for the newer model - whatever the difference in price - why do you think Sony brought out the slim?

Nobody is making you buy anything, that is your own choice.

But OP, as I said, go for the Slim. Especially if it's the God of War Slim, which is beautiful.

Fine but what are you going to do after you beat those games that it comes withnintendo4ever25

um....they could buy new games with the $ they save. If i had the option to get a psp fat (that was in decent shape) for $70 i would do it. usually a used PSP fat costs like 130 around here. I figured $40 extra for a lighter new unit was worth it. But $100? not sure about that.

does anyone actually have BOTH a fat and a slim? is the difference THAT big? I have a slim, and i've seen the fats. the slim doesnt have an IR port, an Eject button, or a removable analog stick. its alot lighter and more flimsy, and they say the memory is better (but i sorta doubt it really makes a Huge difference).

Kratos is beautiful when he's on the PSP. Other than that though, you're right.

I would go wit the Phat PSP becuz its more durable & doesnt feel cheap & the new features of the slim arent that great

Or if you got the money get both, thats what i plan on doing currently i got a PSP Phat & my sister has the PSP Slim

Bottomline PSP Phat or PSP Slim go with the Phat PSP

The PSP Phat is actually about the same durability as the Slim, minus the UMD slot. And faster loading times is a fairly important new feature, unless you have time or something.

Oh, and your font and avatar annoy me. Just thought I'd let you know.

I have both the Fat and Slim PSP, right ater I got the Silm one I gave the Fat to my father. Buy the Slim one, It's lighter, prettier, and you can see yourself playing in the Television, instead of the PSP screen.

The PSP Slim is worth every penny , mainly due to the upgraded RAM for faster loading time.

Slim's Advantages

TV-out - watch tv, whooo!.
More Ram - faster loading times
Battery Capacity - longer battery life
Better Controls - DPad is slightly higher
Lighter - ofcourse it won't strain your wrist
Skype - PSP phone
Sounds Better - Speakers have been moved
Go Messenger - internet chat
Update Reliability - better chance of new firmware compatibility
Newer Accessories - also has a better chance of new accessory compatibility

Phat's Advantages

More Durable
- if you like using it as a hammer
Solid Memory - memory looks(just visually) less flimsy
Cheaper - ofcourse its cheap, its old.
Nothing else - And basically the opposite of what Slim has

In the end, it's the buyers decision. Make a better choice so you don't have to look back.

just picked up a piano black psp slim yesterday and sold my phat psp...the slim is alot better to care cause of the weigth...fells all around better as a portable.. Load times are alot quicker
