Yeah, I am. While it would be cool to hook it up to a TV and play games...it is not enough of an incentive (among the other small changes) that would warrent me to get another PSP beyond one I already have.

I just bought one of the slims, so I guess I can't talk. But I'm not buying any of the gps, camera, or skype garbage. If I need that I'd rather buy a iPhone (which I am definitely not doing). The video connector is nice, but I wish games would run through the composite cable.

Well, if you already have the original psp, then there's not much point in buying a slim. But if you are looking to buy a psp, you might as well get a slim. Also it;s basically impossible to find originals now.

I am, but so many good PC games I haven't really been showing much love to my fattie. TV output for games would be cool. But I dont have HDTV with progressive scan so even if I bought one I wouldn't be able to use tv output for games.

I am right now, but when I feel like it which will be sometime soon, I'll get the SLIM and roll Skype on it, and talk to people for free because I have Hi-speed internet in my car with Wi-fi. It'll be awesome when that stuff comes out.

I am! It's not worth $160 for half an inch of size and slightly better battery life :P My original works fine, so no need to replace it.

While on this topic, I was wondering what are the major differences between the new and old PSP? I keep hearing about being able to play on your tv with the new one, but I thought you could do the same with the old one? What are the other differences, aside from size?

I still have the original. I tried using my friend's slim psp and it just felt ..cheap to me. Hope that makes sense---I'm not trying to offend anyone. It just felt like Sony took the feel of solid metal and replaced it with cheap plastic cover. Didn't feel right, but I guess it's because I've been using my psp for a while now.

I'm still using the original psp I got at launch and I'm still loving it. I considered buying a slim but the difference is so minimal it doesn't warrant another purchase in my opinion.

Me.

I use my original at home and my slim outside. They usually have different games in them. The fat one currently has Harvest Moon : Boy & Girl and the slim one has Valkyrie Profile : Lenneth. It is easier to play VP outside when I am constantly on the move as compared to Harvest Moon which requires more attention as I need to plan my farmer's day and such.

Yep. im still using my original psp. im still not convinced that i should get the slim for two reasons: 1 its not worth it to buy a new psp for just tv input and skype. 2. if its anything like the ds lite, then it will be too uncomfortale for my hands since i have big hands and they cramp up whenever i play my ds but with the psp my hands are fine.

i guess thats why i play my psp way more than my ds. psp ftw!!

if you would have played with it for 5 minutes or so that cheap feeling goes away and it feels way better than the old one in your hands

just the added memory... so that the games would load faster since some of the info from the umd is now cached, and also there is skype and others, no biggie if your only into the gaming not the added hooplah of it all

I agree, i got a thick psp and my friend got a slim, the slim does feel cheaper (probably because of weight) but i am slightly jealous about the extra ram. Also i realy dislike the slim's umd slot, i like the mechanical 1 of the fatty.

I have the original since 2 years now, and i don't intend to buy the slim. I prefer wait to the 2nd gen of PSP or if they'll call it PSP2.

I have the original fat PSP since June last year, and I'm perfectly fine with it. I can play games with it, and that's all I need from the system.

I do. Won't sell it even if i already have a slim. Here in the Philippines, owners of the PSP phat outnumber the ones with a slim.

Most of PSP owners still have the old one. I think original PSP owners are kinda' don't care if there's a slim since it would waste money and there's no need to get the slim. I still own my orig psp
