PSP news update (with pics!!!) and some PS3 news as well...

Here are a few pictures to tide over the couple of months wait for the new PSP "re-designed models".

This is the Core Pack which comes in signature "piano black" redesigned PSP, package will include slimmer battery unit and basic charger. ($169.99 SRP!!!)



This is the Daxter bundle which comes with a limited edition "ice silver" redesigned PSP and comes with the Daxter game UMD and the Family Guy" The Freakin' Sweet Collection video UMD AND a 1Gb Memory Stick Duo!!! (Septemebr 10 release!!! First official release date of the new PSP!!!)



This is the Star Wars Battlefront bundle which come with a limited edition (previously a Japan exclusive color) "ceramic white" redesigned PSP with a silk-screened image of Darth Vader on the back panel redesigned PSP and a Star Wars Battlefront UMD (October 9 release!)



Here's a look at all systems. I mean the closest I have right now...



Also, previously unreleased specs of the redesigned PSP:

  • actual weight is 1/2 lbs. !!!
  • only 3/4 inch thick!!!
  • new PSP will have 64Mb of system memory!
  • video out capabilites will allow players to output games to external displays up to 480 x 272 pixels resolution only BUT movies will be available at full standard-definition resolution on any progressive scan TV.
140 new game titles slated for this fiscal year!!!

Also, the original PSP models have been given $30 price cuts throughout the market!

Finally...some PS3 news as well. Beginning August, a new 80Gb Sony PS3 will be available with a suggested retail price of $599. Additionally, a new price was announced for the existing 60Gb PS3 model. Effective immediately, North American consumers can purchase the 60Gb model for only $499 which is a whopping $100 cheaper than the original price!!!!!!!!!

(***Note: all dates included in this post refer to North American releases as per SCE of America or SCEA announcements.)

On a personal note: I'm confused...I don't know which PSP to get. The ceramic white one like my current PSP or the ice silver one...hmmmm...
