Sony Gamescom Conference

That's the second thing with "Play Station" in its name that I like how it looks like, the first being the PS2 Slim.

I find it weird that they release it now though.

I can only guess the new PSP model is cheaper to produce than the 300x model. And such is decent budget handheld.

The new PSP model looks sweet! Sadly, it can't use WiFi..

lol@my now irrelevant post.

I like the look of the new PSP, I love matte finishes (which is what it looks like to me). I'm just not sure how I feel about the color... I kinda wish the colors of the console and the buttons were reversed.

PS3 is now the same price as the Vita now, lol.

Shows finished guys, go home!

 

[indask8]

PS3 at 249$ it wasn't already the case?

 

[Satangel]

No WiFi on new PSP = increased battery life?

 

[Zarcon]

Same price or cheaper if compared to the 3G model.

Way to compete with yourself Sony, ahaha.

Which post? If I made an error I'll try to correct it.

But thank god for that PS3 price drop, I've been wanting it a tad bit cheaper so it's a little easier to get now (and the $50 off does that, actually). Now to get a Vita or PS3 for Christmas...

 

[iFish]

That new PSP looks REALLY ugly if you ask me... The Go looks way nicer.

I'm still hoping for Sony to say the release date of the Vita.

 

[Deleted_171835]

Hell yes.

I was going to purchase a PS3 in the next couple of weeks. With this price-drop, I'll be getting it a tad bit cheaper!

I would assume that this new model should compete with the 3DS. People can get a 3DS with a only a few games for 160 bucks or a new PSP with a lot of games availabe for 99 bucks.

 

[AlanJohn]

Wait there releasing a new PSP?!?
FOR 99%!?!?
SO THE PSP ISN'T DEAD?!?

No way, not compete. Maybe hold it back until the Vita launches.

I don't know if no wifi is worth it though, but I do need one

Those free Xbox games better get here.

Really? Last time I checked, the PSP was competing with the 3DS pretty well in Japan. Hell, it beat it a majority of the time. What's to say an even cheaper PSP model can't beat it in Japan? Sure, there's no WiFi, but the PSP hasn't been selling games focused on online functions. Plus it'll probably still support Ad-hoc.

 

[prowler]

I think it's good with the new PSP model.

Looks like the Vita (would be nice to have the PSP and the Vita together), get it new for less and it pretty much confirms the PSP won't be discontinued for a while.

I'm early psyched for Monster Hunter and LBP, though...

Monster Hunter + Xlink Kai or Ad-Hoc Party.

LBP is alright but I wouldn't say worth the system. Only thing I'd be bummed about would be ModNation Racers (it's surprisingly fun if you give it a chance and the customization/user creation options are awesome).

In that case I'll look into it and it's hacking capabilities. I feel rather stupid for saying MH though since Wifi =/= Worldwide connectivity.

 

[Giga_Gaia]

Guess I will have to buy a 160GB PS3 tomorrow to hack it.
