Finally, it’s here. The new Sony Playstation Portable has arrived. It will be in stores throughout USA for abou 199,99 $ including a 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo and the Game “Daxter” when choosing the silver version. These are the key features:
- 33% lighter (96gr less) than the original PSP
- 19% more slim
- better battery performance
- faster loading and response times
- TV out for direct connectivity
- 3 colors: black, silver and white
All the technology within is the same, no upgrade. As the new PSP would be shipped with the latest firmware it runs at 333MHz from the start.
The TV out port will be the same as the headphones port and an analogue one. It’s possible to output videos at full PAL resolution at 16:9 or 4:3 to the TV from the Memory Stick Media (by using MPEG4 AVC sourcs). Game output will be scaled to full PAL resolution anamorphic 16:9. The processing speed of the PSP is, of course, not enough (even not at 133MHz) to process MPEG4 AVC HD videos.
Nice done, Sony!
