Sony is selling optional two-and-a-half-meter composite and component video cables ($20 each) terminated in an A/V mini-plug that should be recognizable to anyone who has ever patched a portable DVD player into a TV. There's also a standard headphone mini-jack, but the original PSP offered no video out of any sort, and that was my only substantial gripe.Ĭomposite/Component video somehow squeeze through here.Ĭhief among the enhancements to the PSP-2000 is, finally, a dedicated audio/video output which shares the familiar jacks for the headphone/remote control. The 802.11b/g Wi-Fi-enabled PSP also scans for and connects to local networks to access the internet, link with other PSPs for wireless multiplayer gaming, or to a PlayStation 3 console to stream content.

But first and foremost we're discussing entertainment devices here, so certainly a supply of worthwhile content-including Hollywood feature films-is also a key factor.ĭon't be fooled: The camera adds ten pounds to the PSP Slim. They've added rudimentary, cellphone-quality games to certain models, and productivity tools to the touch via a purchased download.

Look at all the features that Apple keeps adding to the iPod, including a phone on their top-end handheld, while even the nano now plays video. These days what makes a great portable gadget is not just the size but the multitasking, and of course how well it performs each of those tasks. This is the second generation of the PSP hardware but the first time it has been covered on this site, and so a little perspective is in order. As with the reduced-size PlayStation 2 a while back, there is no official name change, just a model number shift, to ' PSP-2000.' But time marches on, guys in labcoats and locked in cleanrooms are continually building better, smaller widgets, et voila, a 19%-slimmer, one-third-lighter PSP landed on my desk.
