This webpage details all the different PSP models ranging from the original PSP (from now on called PSP Fat), to the later PSP Slim, PSP Brite, and PSP Go. PSP-10xx Series (PSP Fat) This is the original PSP released in 2004 PSP-20xx Series (PSP Slim and Light) This is the 'Slim and Light' version of PSP released in September of 2007. It fixed features missing from the 'Fat' version; notably, video out, charging via USB (you must enable USB via the XMB for this to work though), and more flash memory and main memory. 720x480p (NTSC) and 720x576p (PAL) progressive TV Output (via the Video Out jack at the bottom left of the Slim PSP) is supported for games and apps by putting a frame around the 480x272 screen. The XMB, however, is able to use the whole screen. Homebrew games and apps can also be programmed to take advantage of the whole screen.
PSP-30xx Series (PSP Brite) This PSP model was released on October, 2008. It added a built-in microphone and better LCD display for displaying a wider gamut. It also added support for interlaced TV output (in addition to progressive). PSP-N10xx Series (PSP Go) This PSP model was released in 2009. It added 16GB internal flash and bluetooth support, but removed the UMD drive.
In addition, the Memory Stick Duo slot was changed to support M2 cards. PSP-40xx Series (PSP Go + UMD) This PSP model was created to add back UMD game playing to the new sliding shape of the PSP Go (future release). Main PSP Features One of the main features of the PSP is being a high tech gaming gear. The gaming engine hardware is as powerful as a full size PS2, but at a quarter of the size.

The PSP allows game playing mainly through UMD discs, but you can also load the game via the Memory Stick (or internal Flash in the PSP Go). The /PSP/GAME directory of the Memory Stick can contain any directory having an EBOOT.PBP file (the game executable), which will end up showing in the 'GAME-Memory Stick' XMB menu screen. From there, you can select it to run it. Although the gaming functionality is the main selling point of the machine, after using it awhile, you will start appreciating the picture viewer, MP3 player (with speakers) and MPEG4 video player. You can actually squeeze a DVD movie onto a memory stick and play it on the wide-screen LCD display. Here are the Sony PSP model numbers. The PSP model number can be broken up into a prefix and suffix, of which together they make an official PSP model number.
For example, a Japanese launch model PSP would have a serial number of PSP-1000, and the United States launch model would be PSP-1001.
