I must get all my due for being right about the PSP redesign, a lot of people said it would come. It has been in the rumor stage for months and was confirmed earlier this year at E3. The only thing is that the world had to wait until September to get their hands on it. When it comes to Sony gaming products I’ve been a fan of their redesigns and can say that for the PSOne and PS2 found my money well invested. When it comes to portable gaming I’ve never been a huge fan of it. I mean, the last thing I had is the original Game Boy, I had three games for it; Tetris, Donkey Kong and Pokemon Blue.

The reason I conveinced myself to purchase a PlayStation Portable is because of the games. I wanted to play Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. I want to enjoy God of War: Chains of Olympus and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core coming out next year. The price was good and the money was there. But after 10 days I can say that I haven’t got a lot of time to play with it (to play at all; remember Bioshock… not done yet).

The PSP still has some nice games coming it’s way and the developers seem to have a nice hold of it’s technology. The package I purchased came with Daxter, a Family Guy UMD and a 1GB Memory Stick. It’s still a bit pricey but I would never trade that for a DS Lite, despite the price difference, I want some serious gaming on my handheld, otherwise I’d rather just play with what’s on my phone.

Just in case you’re still wandering, the new PSP is slimmer and lighter. It has apparently a brighter screen, and thanks to a decision made by Sony, all PSPs will be able to access the whole processing power of the device. This way developers will be able to push the games a little further.
