I especially like the idea of that slot for the memory stick. mine goes cooky sometimes and doesnt read so i have to forcefully place something so that the stick actually makes contact with the sensors on the psp. i hope that will change with this new addition. but i still dont think ill get the new one...its not like the functions have dramatically been improved or anything. it just got slimmer and lighter. i like my psp just the way it is. makes me feel more comfortable to grip something with some thickness.
