Sony's new PSP gets a proper shakedown for new features


We're sure by now you know the basics, like faster load times and that slimmer shell, but hackers will be hackers, and a certain 0okm has unearthed a few more tidbits of info from the new PSP's user manual that's conveniently hosted by the FCC.

  • The new PSP features is based on a TA-085 PCB, which doesn't mean a lot to us, but gets those homebrew folks looking in the right direction.

  • RAM has been doubled from 32MB to 64MB.

  • You can charge the PSP over USB.

  • There's a 1200mAh battery, rated at 3-6 hours, compared to the original PSP's 1800mAh battery with the same rating.

  • You can't use an original PSP remote with the new PSP.

  • The component AV cable is sold separately. Don't look so shocked (link)

  • There's a WLAN switch on top.
