The PSP Slim is the second release of the Sony PSP.

The PSP Slim is officially known as the PSP Slim & Lite or also known as PSP-2000.

Release Dates[edit | edit source]

It was released on:

  • September 5, 2007 in Europe
  • September 6, 2007 in North America
  • September 12, 2007 in Australia

Features and changes[edit | edit source]

Some change, mainly about the size have been changed from Original PSP (Phat).

Here is a little list:

  • The Slim & Lite is 19% slimmer and 33% lighter than the Phat.
  • The ram has been upgrade to 64 MB instead of 32 for the Phat.
  • The battery is one third slimmer.
  • PSP Slim has been upgraded with an external video output.
  • The infra-red (IR) has been removed, because it was unused by Sony.
  • Possibility to charge battery via USB has been added.

Compatibility and Incompatibility[edit | edit source]

  • The UMD is still the main support for the games and video for the Slim.
  • The remote control of the Phat is not compatible with the Slim PSP due to the change of the audio output. The video is now supported so the plug is not the same.
  • The USB charging accessories won't have any effect on the Phat.
  • The already existing case do not fit the Slim who is moving into.
  • Up to date, the 1.50 kernel is incompatible with the Slim. However, the TimeMachine project allowed a Slim to boot to a full 1.50 firmware as long as the user has a Pandora Battery, and the Slim is upgraded to at least 3.90 M33-2.
