Silver PSP Slim Owners, Ease My Mind

I just picked up the Daxter and Silver Slim PSP bundle, and I needed some quick information before I opened it up and lost my chance to return it. I waited to pick up a PSP because of the chance for Video Output, the Slim is supposed to have this yet while reading the box there was no mention of it. The Gamestop guy told me that the rep from sony told him it was there but without it on the box I am paranoid. If it is available and I need to pick up some extra cords or something that's fine, just help ease my mind on my recent purchase...cause I can't wait to play some Monster Hunter!!!

Another thing you should know is that when you output games on the PSP Slim, it doesn't fill up the whole screen. It seems like it just outputs at the native resolution of the PSP. This means it will be framed by a big phat black area within your TV screen. We found this out when we had it on OTS on the 8/30/07 show (skip forward to 9:56ish to see what it looks like). As Jeff said on that show, this is "unfortunate". Movies on the other hand, do scale up to a full 480p on component cables.Takeshi-GS

You gotta be kidding psp resolution not blowing up to fill the tv screen for games, it will be useless if it's true.

Where did everyone get their cables from?

Yes it's mentioned in the instruction manuel the video out feature. Does anyone know what the deal is with the component connection though? i mean usually component cables are the 3 colors for the video and then the 2 for the audio but it looks like the Sony one's are just 3 cables so how does that work with the usual 5 total cables in the component in on your tv? I guess we'll find out soon enough anyway.mtburdell
