PSP Slim tops 1m in Japan News
PSP News by Tom Bramwell
Sony has shipped over one million units of the new model PlayStation Portable in Japan, the platform holder announced today.
A close read of the release (i.e. closer than the one we initially gave it) also reveals that the number does not include the 77,777 units of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII-specific PSPs already sold. Even better.
Even without them, the increasingly tiny handheld's Slim & Lite revision reached the 1 million milestone two weeks quicker than the console nobody's calling the PSP Chunky.
Exciting stuff, eh? The Slim & Lite is already on sale in the US and Europe, retailing for GBP 129.99 in this silly country where it's available in black and white colours.
Despite a reduction in size, the Slim & Lite features reworked innards that allow it to achieve comparable battery life to the original model.
It can also be used to output certain elements like UMD films to big-screen TV using an external AV cable, has a manual rather than spring-loaded disc tray and has completed half a first-aid course including plasters.
You can read more about how and whether it works in our PSP Slim & Lite Hardware Test. We like capital letters.

I like my old PSP, but i suppose i would have upgraded if the PSP had many more first-party titles coming out for it!
Only Sypthon Filter: Dark Shadow and GOW PSP are tempting me, therefore i feel it's pointless buying a PSP Slim and Lite at the mo.... |

Did you know it took 2 years for me to complete GTA:LCS, and i stopped playing on it when I was up to the last mission for a whole year, I hate me. >:(
GTA:VCS I think is frikken awesome, especially the checkpoints when you do 5 levels of every side mission, and how you can re-buy all the stuff that was taken away, now I don't have to load the game everytime I get wasted, Busted... awesome. And apparently you can overtake business property and assemble a gang like GTA:SA but better could end up being the best GTA i've played so far, and my faith in GTA IV restored. \o/ |
