Kaz Hirai from Sony announced the new PSP that’s 33% lighter and 19% thinner than the ‘old’ model of Sony’s first handheld system. The new portable gamesystem will come in black, but there will be a silver version as well.
The battery is more efficient so games will load faster and battery life will be longer. The handheld now disposes of a HQ video output, used for connecting your PSP with your TV. By connecting it you’ll be able to watch your games, movies, music, pictures and all the rest on your TV screen so that the whole family can enjoy the system.
In North America there will be a PSP Entertainment Pack coming out. This pack will contain a silver PlayStation Portable, the game Daxter, a one GB DUo Stick and a UMD from Family Guy for only $199. Star Wars fans will be able to enjoy the Limited Edition Battlefront Pack containg a PSP with a Darth Vader picture on the back and off course the game Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron for $199 as well. Sony Europe and Sony Japan will make their announcements later this week.
