It's not quite the PSP 2 some might've hoped for

Damn right

but Sony is giving its handheld console a serious refresh in the form of a slimmer, lighter and faster "updated" PSP

Big fat wow...

. The new unit still includes the 4.3-inch LCD and UMD,but is 33 percent lighter, 19 percent slimmer, has sped up game load times and improved battery life.

Same screen just a little brighter ? meh .... , faster loader times can be achieved by running of mem stick , extra battery life can be achieved by BUYING AN EXTRA BATTERY.

The only real "new" features is a video output capability to allow you to play your PSP games on a big screen TV. You can score one in September in the original Piano Black, a new Ice Silver color, and a Star Wars Battlefront special edition.

Won't the video out produce a very pixelated image on wide screen ( correct me if i'm wrong) , the best thing about this seems to be the new colours , the star wars adition one looks hawt.

Eh, I could care less. This is basically the difference between a ds lite and a ds phat, it looks a little better, it's brighter but when you come down to it it's pretty much the same thing, plus I bet it's unhackable. At least nintendo changed the form of it, if those are the pics then, my god, it looks exactly the same. They totally should have changed the design.
