The new PSP will be 33 percent lighter, 19 percent slimmer, battery will be more efficient and games will also load faster. It will also be able to output movies, games, photos and other PSP applications to a TV screen by pressing the display button. (Whether or not output cable is included has not been confirmed.)



The new model will initially come in 3 different colors - announced today for North America are Piano Black, Ice Silver and a special Star Wars design: a white PSP with an image of Darth Vader's face at the back. The new PSP version 2 will be due in North America at around October.
