1. battery life is better, possibly due to the fact that its newer than my old psps battery :) but has a larger capacity, so should last longer...
2. the latch is totally different. has a much cheaper, non-locking door that you just open and close. feels flimsy and cheap.
3. finish is more plastic than the original. again, seems like a cheaper build quality than that of the original.
4. new buttons feel the same to me, but sony is boasting that theyre better and more durable/tactile
5. tv out? never used it
6. dont use a screen protector. i would imagine that the nicer brands for windows mobile devices would make good psp screen protectors... covertec, boxwave
7. the batter cover is just a cover on the back, not a latch per se. never gave me any issues
8. my analog stick is in good shape. i dont abuse it tho
9. iv never taken mine apart, as i never needed to... i cant imagine it would be very hard. probably much easier than a pda. they dont even use odd screws or anything...
10. save your old case. the new one wont come with one
11. homebrew is still going strong. check out the psp fanboy websites for updates and downloads in that realm. im not sure what the latest firmware is. im running 3.73
12. it has more ram than the original, is supposed to have better buttons, is lighter and a bit slimmer. the speakers are placed up higher on the front of the device, which was one thing i hated about the original, so the sound seems louder, but the placement is probably what makes all the difference.
the screen seems the same, buttons feel the same (to me). i dont know, i just think it seems cheap, like they were trying to save some money when building these things. the original seemed more durable and solid. the umd spring mechanism was nicer than the door it has now. the new model supposedly has less of a problem with fingerprint marks, which i nice i guess.
im still happy with it.
get patapon, locorocco. i like the need for speed games. theres lots of great games out there for both ds and psp
