Classy! Here is a print ad for the new slim and lite PSP that does a nice job of emphasising it’s lighter. This ad is way easier to grasp than Japan’s towel twisting. What’s more, it’s also cheaper in Korea! The portable is marked down to 178,000 (approx. US $190). It really is lighter. PSP Lite [PSP Vault via PSP Fanboy]
A few days ago, CVG spoke to retailer GAME and came away with news that there’d be no TV cables for the PSP Slim’s British launch. GAME practically own the specialist gaming market in the UK, so if there were no cables for GAME, safe bet was there’d be no cable for anyone else. WRONG. Sony have confirmed that TV cables will indeed be available at the handheld’s launch. So there you have it. Sony confirms white PSP delay, cables available from day one [Gamesindustry.biz]
If you’ve been holding out for a Playstation Portable 2000 now’s the day to hit up your local retailer. The limited-edition Daxter PSP Entertainment Pack just went on sale for $US200. The pack includes a “Ice Silver” PSP2K, a copy of Daxter; Family Guy – The Freakin’ Sweet Collection on UMD and a 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo.
The PSP Slim launches in Britain on September 14. Two of the big selling points for the handheld are the new video out capabilities and the colour range. Which is why it makes PERFECT sense for SCEE to gip the Brits on both. There will be NO video cables available for the Slim at launch, at all, and Sony don’t know when they’ll be made available. And as far as colours go, it’s black and black only, the promised white and silver coming somewhere, sometime down the line. Time to bust out that stiff upper lip. Big new selling point… not for sale [Games Radar]

Here’s the video proof of Lair Remote Play for you non-believers out there. The major issue, as I mentioned before, is that you have no L2 or R2 buttons, so no braking in the game, which can make things a bit difficult at times, but the game is still very playable. I friggin love this. Lets hope this isn’t something Sony will be “fixing” anytime soon.
The mounting buzz on the Playstation forums are true, you can play Lair on your PSP using Remote Play. Well, you can sorta play Lair on your PSP using Remote Play. Unfortunately the PSP does not have the R2 or L2 buttons, so you can’t brake, but who needs to brake anyway. Sure it makes the end bosses and many of the levels a lot easier, but honestly, not that big a deal.
If you do want to do this make sure you play through the tutorial level first because unless you can brake it won’t let you continue through the training and get to the meat of the game. Check back in a bit for our video of this in action on the PSP2K.

Two videos, TWO! for the price of one. The first shows video playback on your television using a composite cable and the PSP2K. The second, on the jump, shows gameplay on the television using the same set-up.
