Sony PSP Review - PC Mag
PC Magazine have published their review of the Sony PSP (model 2000) game console. 'Measuring 6.6 by 2.8 by 0.6 inches (HWD), the PSP's shape has been streamlined in a way that is noticeable when you place the PSP 2000 next to the original, which measures 6.7 by 2.9 by 0.9 inches. The major difference between the two, however, is that the PSP 2000 weighs about a third less, 6.7 versus 9.2. When you use the PSP 2000 for an extended time, the lower weight makes it really easy on the hands; those seasoned by hours of game play on the original model will feel the difference instantly. While holding the PSP 2000 with both hands I noticed another design change: the wavelike bulges on the old PSP, which covered the battery and Memory Stick slot on both sides and curved beneath the middle and index fingers, are gone. They gave the original a more ergonomic feel, which will be missed, but this is minor point. The PSP 2000's screen is the same as the original's and, unfortunately, just as smudge-prone.'
