Interesting. I wonder how the color output setting will work with TVs - maybe it's just a code word for XvYCC or something? *shrugs*

"Ugh. Why is there a black guy on the box? That killed it for me. I'm not buying it."


Vote down this racist asshole over at PSP-Fanboy for his or her comment.

Just because it shows the store doesn't mean it's coming anytime soon. Remember those PS3 commercials from a years ago showing Home functionality? Yeah, we still don't have Home.

I love the blatant marketing right on the box. Anyone that isn't a young adult NEED NOT APPLY!!!

Where would the gaming industry be with out the pandering?

OMG, you mean they're targeting a specific audience? What has advertising come to? :(

Is packaging a form of advertising? Packaging just has to be pretty, and this is not pretty.

@ rockstargodzu
The cover of anything (gadget boxes, DVDs/BDs, games, food, cleaning supplies, etc.) is a form of advertisement. The whole point of a box cover is to make the product appealing to a potential customer. The box also has to represent some key selling points with the product.

If you think box art is just meant to look cool than you're either totally missing the point or the marketing companies have already brainwashed you.

Packing IS a form of advertising...

and no, packaging doesn't always have to be "pretty", and as shown by the one above, some of them go for the "Informative" route. But that's not to say that the design of the box is awful, the colors are somewhat vibrant, they show the brand throught the box, and they are also putting a lot of focus on showing the PS Store (this is most likely due to the latest ads pushed by Apple showing the App Store)

Seriously, not everything has to be sprinkled with glitter...

Can you give me example of another piece of gaming hardware with smiling people on the box? Much less one where a smiling model is a size that competes with the photo size of the ACTUAL product on the packaging?

If you can then I stand corrected and this is the most awesome box art ever and the people that desinged it are marketing geniuses.

I have seen some before, but I don't remember them right now, still, what's wrong with people smiling? the purpose of that is to show that the product is fun/entertaining, and its not like its uber exagerated, its just a subtle smile.

"Much less one where a smiling model is a size that competes with the photo size of the ACTUAL product on the packaging?"

he doesn't compete with the actual product, the product still quite visible, not only that, making the size of the picture of the model close yet not as big as the PSP's shows that they are putting a lot of priority on the "fun" part of it.

Seriously, what is the true purpose of your dislike towards the box art? if you just simply don't like it just say so, you don't have to make up bullshit.

That reminds I should repair my PSP lite.

After that I might sell it and buy a new PSP Brite.

Does this new PSP have 802.11g? I hate having to set my router to dual mode, as the network slows down when a B device in connected.

Well since there are pretty much no hardware differences between the PSP Slim and the Brite, I seriously doubt any 802.11g support

This is the most boring PSP design I've seen in years. I even liked that Madden one better than this. What is the advantage of this over, say, the GoW version, which comes with a game and a movie for the same price? Is it *that* much brighter? Like, would I be able to actually see it in the sunlight now?

Sony is touting that the PSP Brite will have a huge glare reduction when used in sunlight. It's disappointing that no one has gotten the chance to show off how much of an improvement there is, but TGS is coming up soon and I'm pretty sure Sony will have them for display.
