i just got my hands on the new PSP2000, and i have to honestly admit, the new (small) changes and tweaks justifies the word "Redesign"

i mean the new size and the feel of the thing in my hands (ewww) is really awesome... the weight really makes a difference, and the flat back is something Sony should've included in the first design (aah who am i kidding it's sony for crying out loud :P).

the biggest complaint i had about the Phat PSP was the D-pad... the friggin think is broken and diagonals are impossible to pull, which made awesome PSP games like TEKKEN and Pro Evolution Soccor play like... meh! but with the tweaked D-pad... well you get the idea :P i can control the games like how they were meant to be controlled ;) (again Sony what were u thinking?)

of course i've yet to put the new PSP's biggest feature to use, playing games and movies on TVs, but the stupid store didn't have the cables... but from what i've heard it's also great and a much welcomed feature...

haven't tried putting old batteries in to check the doubled up battery life, and haven't done heavy testing with the UMD caching so i can't give any feedback on that...

and chargin via USB? yeah i know who cares lol...

anyways i guess what i'm trying to say here is that this dude is a PSP2000 hater no more, and yeah the redesign rocks... games play & control much better, cuz to me sony... all it comes down to is games games games... ;)

yeah i know that it doesn't fit, but it works, you just have to use the slim without the battery cover ;) but yeah who would do that lol

btw i picked a white core (literally stripped) JP version 8) white-glossy-flat-PSP-back FTW!! *mental images of sexyback*

The PSP is awesome. Very underated imo. I picked up the Daxter/Family Guy pack last week with Killzone liberation. Now I need to get Crazy Taxi and MGS:PO.

I agree entirely. Never really loved psp all that much, but picked up the slim last week and it's awesome. No complaints.

ah ok i was like :? for a second there lol...

anyways i've heard somewhere that after breaking up the 3.60FW they discovered that UMD caching feature only works for a predetermined set of games, think like backward compatibility for the 360 & PS3, and that the list gets updated with every system update to include more games (i think the main focus for now are new hit games and old games that had terrible loading times)

which make prompts me to ask: which game did you try caching?

The Japanese seem to love it. 250,000 units sold in three days not counting Crisis Core bundles. CC Bundles sold around 75,000 units.

Honestly all the games I have are old. I noticed only a slight difference (only a few seconds) but the only one that I thought was a significant difference was the MLB game

me too. at first i didnt care for handheld consoles. but the more i see GOW and FF 7 core, the more i wanted one. so i just broke down and bought a silver slim when it came out. i must say it is cool to have. espcially when im at work since i have my own office, no one can see me playing games. :)

Well I hear load times are improved, and if so then that's nice, but they still didn't fix my biggest shocking disappointment of the first version of it.

Now Sony, pay attention because I'm only going to show this once.

plus there are plenty of other games that are fun to just pick up and play (katamari, luminess, every extended extra.) The only reason why my dss hasn't been collecting dust is because my girlfriend likes tetris

hmmm but what if you want to control a game using the analog? can't press face buttons and use the nub the same time.

Monster hunter freedom 2 has to be the greatest handheld game of all time, it's seriously amazing, can't believe GS gave it a 5.0.

The idea is for games where you can move using d-pad and look with analog. Those two should always be able to be used together, so for example in games like Coded Arms you won't have to walk like a drunk. The face buttons just need to be pressed time to time, d-pads usually have to be held.

I KNOW!!

but if you read the review you'll realize that poor reviewer only two hours into the game when he reviewed the game, and he hated the first, so i was pretty much something lower than the first games rating :P

that does not change the fact the MHF2 is AWESOME
