In the dawn of the new, more lean E3, comes the news of Sony’s new, more lean PSP. Actually, Sony has developed a thin PSP system with a variety of colors to match customer personalities (as seen below).

Slim PSP

These new PSPs will be 33% lighter, 19% slimmer and have a more efficient battery. The most amazing part of this new PSP is the video output capabilities to TV (480 x 272). This means you can watch movies and play games on the big screen as well during your ride on mass transit. There will also be bundle opportunities for software developers (limited editions) like a ‘ceramic white’ color with a Darth Vader silk screen that includes a 1 GB memory stick along with Star Wars: Battlefront Renegade Squadron for $199.99 (due out later this fall).

It appears Sony is gaining momentum coming out of E3, and with these types of innovations, they may be able make up some ground on the Nintendo DS. We wonder how this will go over in Japan, where the DS is the clear market leader.
