Sony has announced the second coming of the PSP in the recently concluded E3 2007. Virtually the same in appearance as the original PSP, this one, however, is slimmer and lighter. Feature wise, the only new offering they decided to include in this gaming console is the video out capability so you can opt to play on the big screen (and show off to your friends how well you play Ridge Racer on your PSP). Sony has also improved game loading times and battery life. Initially, the slimmer PSPs are available in the original black color, ice silver (actually just looks like silver to me) and a Star Wars Battlefront special edition, but I wouldn’t be surprised if later on they release other colorful versions, similar to the ones currently available at the moment. So, for all you gamers who have been waiting for the 2^nd generation PSP, well, this one isn’t exactly ground breaking, but for first time buyers, it’s good enough. If you already own a PSP, I suggest you wait until Sony decides to release a real follow up to the successful gaming console.
