RUMOR: PSP SLIM details revealed!!

Well LED screens exist, but would be impractical on the psp. The smallest pixel size of a LED screen is 4mm so a 480x272 pixel sized screen would be 1,920mm x 1,088mm or about 6.3ft x 3.6ft. The size aside LED screens draw too much power anyways.

i thought i heard about someone asking for the next psp to be clam shell like GBA SP and DS... that opens up and closes for the safety of the screen??

im pretty sure the post means LED backlighting, which i have already said uses much less power and is safer and more enviromentally friendly...of course there ar emuch more inconvincing parts of the claim, the 8gb internal memory for the low price.

You guys know they posted 0 sources for this right? For all we know kotaku.com could have just pulled this out of their asses.

Or they could be refering to the ultra thin OLED screens sony released not too long ago.

@dylandangles: We know, but let us fantasize about this possibly awesome thing :P

I agree with that too if this is true then we have to get the first one that comes out and never upgrade, hoping for a downgrader

Maybe using psp devolution, then flash to OE, then detach

also the D-pad is not that bad when you get used to it
Kind of gets more responsive the most you wear it out (LOL), mine feels like floating in jello
This also has improved my "habilities" with the ps2 D-pad, since it´works better than the one on the psp

doubt this is true, you know how long it takes for anything to get released for psp (ie grand turismo!) it be another year before a new psp would probably be released and it woulld be to late by then, they struggling to market the current psp compared to the DS as it is. There best of working at what theyve got since really it has got alot to offer as it is, the size isnt that important neither is any internal memory or screen sharpness.

Homebrew support, or it's none for me.

You better get this message to Sony so they can remember to enable homebrew the firetrucking gateway to pirating.

Next psp will have touchscreen? Blantant attempt to copy the DS if it is true. I hate sony stealing Nintendo's ideas. Why cant they think of something by themselves for a change.

I think the second analog stick was one of the most revolutionary things to happen to gaming, done by no less but sony...
