Loot Ninja's PSP Slim Review

Loot Ninja picked up a Star Wars edition PSP Slim yesterday. They decided it was time for a new one, since their battery was dying off anyway. They really wanted some of the new features, and they're fans of Star Wars merchandise.

Aside from the really cool looks of the white PSP with the Darth Vader image on the back, there are huge number of great refinements to the PSP Slim. Everyone has heard the usual, that the unit is much lighter and thinner, which are both very true. The screen is also brighter and the unit loads faster with more included RAM. But there's a lot of other features that haven't been widely discussed that make it that much better.

cleaner sound? i wouldnt say that....

the units max volume level is actually lower than the original black psp. one other thing i have noticed is that the wifi card is weaker/slower when scanning for hotspots/ap's and surfing. Perhaps im a picky son of a b1tch......but why downgrade the wifi and speakers? i bet battery life would be the culprit. all in all its a marvel of machinery......especially if you look at the emulation aspect of the unit.
while i do agree this thing flies when loading....i just dont see the use of the tv out port. i mean if im home id just play non portable systems.
i mean its like buying a desktop replacement to game on for 5k, when u can buy a desktop with 5 times the performance for the same price. totally impractical.
im not b ashing the psp slim its a great grab-n-go-gadget. i just hope sony gets it right the next time. though battery life is always a portables mortal enemy.

It's a bit cleaner because the speakers aren't firing into your hands now. All the sound is coming directly at your face/ears

KINGDRAMA6429d ago (Edited 6429d ago )

though the original psp had 4 speaker holes(on the face and on the bottom.

im not trying to bash u or anythin. i like the gadget alot, especially how light and how bright the screen is. perhaps im just too picky.

all in all psp is a great multimedia device for those long trips or those rides to work.

i like star wars alot(currently playing empires at war on pc).... i might just pick up the darth vader edition . how is battlefront?

Haven't played Renegade Squadron yet, but it's not getting great reviews. I think it's around 72% on metacritic. I've been focusing my time on Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Socom, and Jeanne d'Arc

I'd like to get an opnion from a fellow gamer.

drunkpandas6429d ago

Yeah Jack Tretton confirmed this at E3 when it was announced. The game has to be coded to take advantage of it, so older games aren't really going to load any faster. Newer games will be able to utilize the extra RAM to decrease load times

I wonder if movie support for the UMD will increase. If anyone knows please contribute your opinion.

Not on the US store right now which sucks

andy858d ago

Im definitely going to import it if possible. Hopefully PlayAsia will have it

jznrpg8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

@andy85 so you can get it from PlayAsia no Tarrifs but shipping is 23$ at least ,but it is an option. A little less than 50$ with shipping. I had to have it

andy858d ago

Coming out at £44 ($60) here. Jeez as much as I want it that's a little bit of a stupid price. Managed to find it for £35 elsewhere. Still crazy for a mug. Might wait and see if the square Enix store get it

Original Ridge Racer arcade classic coming to PlayStation in June

This will be the first time the original 1993 arcade Ridge Racer has appeared on home consoles.

I hear rumors that Evercade may also be getting a Namco Arcade cart with RR and Tekken on it. That would be sweet as their previous Namco Console carts have also recently been updated to work on the VS. Previously, they only had the license to the handheld. so the OG Evercade and the EXP and even the Alpha were supported, but not the VS.

Am i the only one that wants a Ridge Racer Type 4 Remake?
