Review: I couldn't help but notice your very negative "DS Rules!" review of the new PSP Slim & Lite.

No mention that the TV Out option means that UMD movies are now the new home video format people didn't even know they had, as well as the incredible quality of said TV enhanced UMD's.

No need to talk about how this means that UMD’s can finally take their place next to DVD’s as genuine home viewing choices. The fact that the PSP has suddenly become a home console at will was scarcely talked about.

Also ignored was the fact that the new PSP is now even lighter than the DS Lite. Or that the original PSP was so far ahead of the original DS there was much less room for improvement.
Pros: A lot lighter

Slimmer

TV Out option

USB charging

Better speaker positions

Faster load times

Crisper screen

Improved system and theme options

Simpler UMD insertion

Home console now at will
Cons: Comes with no extras

Sony power cable not very practical

An improvement, not a reinvention

Could break easier

Have to buy TV out cable separately
Score: 10/10
