I have a question for those of you who are in the know about these things...
Are the new PSP's as notorious as the originals for having dead pixels? This was something that didn't bother me at first but, became a real nuisance over time, with the original.
Are there any other quirky/weird issues with the slim that I should know going in to buy one?
Any help is greatly appreciated.  |
It's definitely not a bad time to pick up a PSP. As you mentioned, the abundance of quality software has really improved as of late.
From what I've heard/read (I don't have a PSP Slim myself), the dead pixel problem with the original PSP is not an issue with the Slim. I suppose it's still possible, but most people have been saying it is no longer a frequent occurrence.
The only real con to buying the Slim is its overall durability. It seems to by much more fragile than the original (i.e. fragile UMD tray, flimsy memory stick door, and an unsound battery compartment door).
None of these seem like big issues, and the Slim is better in pretty much every other way. Are you getting the GoW: Chains of Olympus pack?
