This September, Sony will be unleashing the first ever revision of the PlayStation Portable. Codenamed PSP-2000, the system sports a new slimmer design, and the ability to display content on a television. There are a lot of mysteries surrounding the new system -- but tonight, we're going to clear things up.

The PSP-1000's volume wasn't that loud. Did they increase the volume?

I dunno is it louder? I can't tell.
I notice the hole above the D-Pad and to the right looks like the speaker holes are there.
I'll bet the same audio hardware just comes out louder through better design of
this .. ahem .. "codename" (Model number) PSP.

yeah they just moved the sound holes.

is the contrast really that improved? (notice the preview video) or is that camera angle or the ravages of age on the lcd of the 1001?

[jamotto]

Doesn't sound louder, however the response range seems more focused on the high end compared to the older one.

The sound is same as psp 1000 there is no difference it's a great disappointment for a new sony console.
