Playstation Portable - New Playstation on the Scene

Could the new Playstation Portable Slim and Lite system truly be better than the traditional PSP system? Sony and Microsoft have an ongoing competition with the PS3 and Xbox 360 systems on the market, so Sony needed an edge to drive up sales of its systems and games. They realized that a new hand-held gaming system was reaching too far, but an improvement could easily update the old hand held system and give them increased sales.

September 6, 2007 was the launch date for the new Playstation Portable Slim & Lite. The name summed up its brand new look. On the surface the hand held console looked the same, but upon picking it up, the difference was immediately noticeable. The new Sony Playstation Portable was 33% lighter and 19% slimmer. However, the real improvements are inside the little hand held gaming console.

So what can you expect from the new gaming unit? You can expect shorter load times. The designers at Sony doubled the internal memory to 64 MB. The LCD screen is lighter. The D-pad is raised a bit higher, thus helping your fingers gain better control when playing. It also now has the ability to charge via its USB port while gaming. This was something the original could not do. Before, you could only charge the PSP system while not gaming.

In the gaming industry, big disappointments can happen when transitioning from an old system to a new one. Oh, the graphics and speed are great, but what about all that money you invested in games for the old system? Well, with the new Playstation Portable, you do not have to worry about games not being compatible. The ones that worked on the old system will work on the new system. Thank you Sony developers and testers.

The new Playstation hand held gaming system will not always be the only game in town. Nintendo is answering back with the new Nintendo DS Lite. For now though, Sony can ride high on its incoming revenue from all of the gaming bundles. The limited edition PSP’s will fly off the shelves even at a whopping $199.00 and will probably go for twice that on Ebay. The gaming world is a very competitive arena between rival companies and they must constantly reinvent their software and consoles to be faster and better. There is little doubt that Sony has met this challenge head on.

A popular sensation within the gaming community is the Playstation 3. It gives you the ability to do gaming on a completly new level. It also can play movies. So there are no more reasons you can come up with for not getting a player for your movies. Playstation truly addressed the problems of top end gaming and are going head-to-head with the Xbox 360 by providing a great game system that can entertain for hours. The best part is that you do not have to track the Playstation 3 information down. Take a look at some by going here:
