PSP 1000 compare with PSP 2000

If you're new to the Sony PSP, it's not a good idea to start with Brand-new, expensive PSP Slim (PSP-2000 or 3000). My advice, u should look around on internet or yr friend for used one with affordable price. If you already have the PSP-1000, see the photo below to conside if it's worth upgrading.

The original PSP is bulkier in the back, mainly due to larger battery.

A top view comparison of the PSP-1000 to PSP-2000, again showing the majority of the weight was shaved off the back.

Battery compartments open. PSP-2000 uses a more compact battery.

UMD disc tray opens wider on PSP-2000, but feels fragile.

You don't insert a UMD in the PSP-2000, rather, you place it on the back tray.

Another view of UMD trays on both PSPs. Notice the slim arm support on PSP-2000. Hopefully they can withstand the use.

The analog nub doesn't feel so resistant on the PSP-2000 and has a wider opening around it.

Good move on the speaker "holes". By placing the speakers on the top of the new PSP, the audio is less likely to be muffled when holding it or placing it on a PSP stand for viewing.

The wireless on/off switch is better positioned on the top and more clearly marked with "WLAN".

The Memory Stick door of the PSP-1000 felt a little "snappier" and secure.

The Memory Stick door of the PSP-2000 feels very rubbery and light. Hopefully the slim supports won't go!

Don't be fooled by the similar look of the audio out port of the PSP-1000. The PSP-2000 features new video output capabilities to play games, UMD movies or see pictures on your HD or SD TV.

The PSP-2000's colors are more saturated and brighter.

Pros:
+ Lighter and slimmer design is a plus. You won't feel like you're carrying around a brick!
+ Faster loading time. About 80 seconds to get to Lego Star Wars II title screen on PSP Slim, about 90 seconds on original PSP.
+ Slightly brighter and more saturated colors
+ Can charge through USB cable (although it'll take longer than using AC adapter)
+ Video output capability (however, the cable is not included)
+ Analog stick not as stiff as original PSP
+ Better placement of speakers (on the face of the PSP, rather than the bottom).
+ No dead pixels (my original PSP has a couple)

Cons:
- Video output cable not included.
- UMD Tray feels fragile
- Memory Stick door feels flimsy and fragile (when pulled out)
- Battery compartment door doesn't feel as secure as original PSP
