Sony PSP Slim Hands-On Report

By James Yu, GameSpot.com on 05 September 2007

Sony has finally responded to consumer demand for more PSP background-color themes.

While it was nice to check out the new PSP's redesigned features at E3, what we really wanted to do was pull out a few games and test how the new portable handles load times with its extra built-in memory and fancy UMD-caching system. That agenda was first in our minds when we opened up the shipping box, but we got sidetracked when we noticed that the background display colour on the new PSP was different from the colour on our original PSPs. It turns out that our new PSP actually has more background-theme colour options, 28 compared to the old PSP's 13 colour options. We've asked Sony if the new colours are available only on the new PSP, or if they'll be included in the 3.60 firmware update, which is the version we had on the new PSP. Unfortunately, our Sony contacts haven't gotten back to us yet.

    Can you use a normal set of headphones to listen to music, or do you need a special pair of PSP headphones?
