Why/Why Not Get The New PSP

I started this topic to let everyone discuss why they think that you should or shouldnt get the new PSP.

For me I think if you already have the original PSP then you should just stick with it, but if you dont already have a PSP and you are looking to buy then the newer version might be something to look into.

What do you think??

Well I'm planning on trading in my DS Lite for the new PSP Slim. It looks really nice with its redesign, and I also want something that can play Movies and Music when I'm at work during my lunch or something. Oh yea and I also really like the TV output thing a lot too! But do you need to plug it into an HDTV or can it work on a standard TV as well?

To me, there's not enough that the new PSP offers over the old to make a repurchase necessary, although the TV-out and "more efficient" hardware battery-wise (according to the conference) is nice, it's not worth a whole new PSP imo, unless you really have cash to throw about.

Although if one doesn't own a PSP, the new one would be the obvious choice, and hell, I expect Sony to drop the old PSP altogether once they get the new one in ample stock.

Why? TV LCD plug

Why not? Theres no point.Nothing new except what i mentioned other than minor things.

You can only play PSP games on a TV through a component cable, which means you need a tv with one.

Thats not so much a problem for me because I have one, but if I wanted to get a cheap tv for my bedroom to play games on it would have to be an expensive cheap tv.

Otherwise, I don't think any features have been cut, so theres no reason to want the old one. Of course, if you already have the old one, you can probably get by without getting the new one.
