I don't really see the point in releasing another psp, people that want one will probably of got a slim and lite

I'm guessing so, since on the ps3 the the PS button takes you to the XMB, and on the older PSP models the home button takes you to the XMB
Comparison :eek:

Thats some difference. Will have to have a better look when this comes out.
if sony can do a free upgrade then i will get one but na im not going to spend over £100 for a small upgrade :S
