Just a minute ago we posted the first exclusive PSP Slim and Lite hands-on impressions from Kotaku and now we have more first thoughts of the new PSP Slim and Lite. First of all the PSP Slimline system ships with Firmware 3.60 preloaded on the handheld. The menu has completely changed and two of the most important changes are:
USB Charge: Now you can charge via USB instead of via A/C
UMD Cache: You can save power by reducing the frequency at which the PSP Slim and Lite reads from your UMD game or movie.
There are also some new menu settings when hooking up your Sony PlayStation Portable Slimline Lite to your television. Via the Switch Video Output you can now watch movies, games, pictures on your TV screen from your PSP Slim/Lite. Your TV has to be of the 16:9 or 4:3 type to use this option. You can also install a screensaver on your PSP and you can set the timeout from 0 to 15 minutes.
Those lucky bastards at Kotaku already got their new Sony PlayStation Portable Slim&Lite in the mailbox. Decreaded load times, 33 percent lighter, 19 percent slimmer, more system memory so enough new stuff in the PSP Slimline to send one to Kotaku. They received the Silver PSP Slim and Lite and their first impression was that it really is worth the name ‘Lite’. Without the battery in it’s extremely light, with the battery in it it’s still light! They have some Nintendo DS Lite vs. PlayStation Portable Slim&Lite pictures up to see the difference between the two Lite handhelds.
