I got a new PSP less than a month ago and it's got 3.52 m33-4 and I was gonna ignore the PSP slim since I thought it wouldn't be able to run homebrew. But now that it can it's really tempting...just don't know if it's really worth it. Are all ISOs compatible with the 3.60m33? Is it as good/stable as 3.52 m33-4?
It's annoying cause a few weeks ago the PSP looked like an up to date machine but as soon as the slim came out it made the original PSP look outdated even though it isn't really. So it feels like I have an outdated PSP whenever I hold it in my hands....this is how Sony brainwashes ppl......and it's working...cause I want a PSP Slim now...
What are everyones thoughts? Do you still prefer the original or the Slim?

i consider the slim nothing but a crappy marketing ploy, just like slim ps2 was. i prefer the original. the slim really doesn't offer anything except for a minor change of reduced size and a TV out that nobody can use unless they've got an Progressive scan HDTV and the cables..
so i stick by my FAT lil handheld.

Well said. The only big upgrade is the TV-out option, but for a portable device--I find it a little unnecessary. So that makes the score, what...
Fat 2
Slim 1

im gonna have to give my votes to the "fat". its not that fat. like smurff said, nothing new same old same old. the slim feels like a knockoff its too light. it just doesnt feel as good while holding. and sony added some unecsary thing like the umd door, that was just to add something new to call it a "new psp".
fat 3
slim 1 :D lol

The advantage of the PSP slim over the normal PSP is that it is slimmer and is a little lighter :)
And yeah, it also has a TV output :)
I find it unnecessary for a portable device to have that :)
And also, I don't have any complains with the current weight and size of my PSP as it fits in my pocket well :) (I wear baggy pants :P)
So, I prefer the PSP over the PSP slim as currently you can downgrade the firmware and unlock it's true potential :)

LOL.I don't think the PSP FAT is even a slightest bit heavy.I think the PSP slim is totally a waste of money.Oh so it's looks a bit nicer and has a new feature...The PSP FAT is simply the best and original.No PSP FAT, then there wouldn't be PSP Slim.If they created a PSP with the model of a Slim FIRST then that means that would be original...Do i make sense??All I'm saying is NO PSP FAT THEN THERE'S NO PSP SLIM!
Oh and acidy, I love LP aswell :D

@ kikzm33z
lolz :P
Yeps :)
Besides, the PSP slim cannot run 1.50 kernel, so no 1.50 homebrews on it :(
That makes the PSP fat (which is not at all fat :P) better than the PSP slim anyday :D
"heehee :P
LP rulez :)

Lets take a look at Sony's "marketing"
PSP Slim: $199 (CDN)
PSP Fat: $169 (CDN)
The PSP Fat took a #30 price drop. Not really bad, now it is in the DS Lite range of things.
PSP Slim, however, took the price of the old PSP. Interesting move, when you consider it's only major upgrade is TV out, which requires a cable I don't even think comes with it. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Now, look at it. You are paying an extra $30 for a capability (many people won't even use anyway) for something that will end up costing you more in the end, when you could have something perhaps even better than the Slim (full 1.50 kernel homebrew) for less. Thank you Sony, for dropping the price of the PSP.

like kikzm33z said, the psp fat isnt the slightest bit heavy! and the psp slim just feels way too light. its not even an advantage. it feels like some random knockoff. and the tv out is the one new feature and even that could have beendone on the old psp i beleive. and LeadBaron amde good points too. the only really good thing is the easy tv out built in. and sony isnt even including the main new thing with the console so to use it i beleive you'd pay about 219 plus tax.

Slim: 1 Loser??
Does that mean I'm a loser? I'm sorta neutral on the matter still. They both have their goods and bads.

^^I think he was pointimg out that the Slim was the loser.
But, seriously, if someone offered to buy me a slim, I'd take it over the fat seeing how I already have one. It's just, after so long, Sony should have just made an entirely new console, instead of an updated version.

Another advantage the slim has over the fat is double the RAM, but my vote goes to the fat because slim's M33 doesn't support the 1.5 kernal which sucks...

Just saying that nobody should say"3.71M33 doesn't have 1.5 kernel aswell..."but it will have it :).Not for slim though.Sorry to all the Slim users that wants to play emulators with 3.71m33

From what I understand, it can play 1.0 eboots. Eboots are universal, but the 1.50 EBOOT is different because it comes in two files (yay for PSP-Dev team), but because there is no 1.50 kernal, the EBOOTs that come in two files are useless, but 3.71 M33 (Or any custom firmware for the slim) can play homebrew. It still has limitations because it can't access the greatest inner workings of the PSP, but they can still play.
