Marketed as a Playstation 2 in your pocket, the PSP has evolved into a device with its own identity that has a strong connection to the PS3, and a diverse offering of titles. While not providing the same graphic fidelity of the PS2, the PSP still emphasizes graphics and a rich audio/visual experience compared to the Nintendo DS. In summer of 2007 Sony released the PSP Slim that is lighter, slimmer and features a TV-out port that lets you connect your PSP to the television directly.
