Hey all.
I just got a PSP slim Star Wars Vader pack thanks to EB's trade 8 promo.
I was just wondering if anyone got the leather strap with it? My original day 1 launch PSP phat came with one and this one had nothing, just manuals and the game.

Also the PSP slim feels so cheap compared to the phat. From the packaging on down. I can't believe they wrapped the whole thing in those stupid plastic sealed container things that have a tendency to cut people. I had to bust out my exacto knife and be very careful not to scratch the psp itself. Great job Sony on making your system look dirt cheap compared to before when it felt like opening a luxury item. Something about the screen bothers me too. Though the old one ghosts like a s.o.b. the colors looked more vibrant. But at least no stuck/dead pixels like my first PSP phat.

Also does anyone know where to get a non-Vader printed white battery cover for the PSP slim for cheap?

my ceramic white slim psp came in a box much like the psp phat but there was no pouch, no umd sampler, nothing. nadda!

except the essentials like a power cord, instruction manuals (all in japanese only) and the psp itself. no remote headsets either. bought it brand new (but open as it was pre-modded upon purchase).

Yup, they used to make "entertainment packs" and "giga-packs" (iirc) that came with soft pouch, strap, remote, a ms stick and maybe a game. They also used to have a core bundle than came without. Now it's only the core, sometimes + games. It's only recently that the slim remote even showed up on the shelves.

I don't quite remember the prices, but it they did dropped the price a little to compensate.

As for the slim feeling cheap... that will go away in a couple of days, then you will look at the fat like an old clunker. I love my psp slim, (except for the umd door, much less cool).

Well the plastic feels different. Just feels cheap. I love the weight though. Oh well, I used the spare straps that Nintendo sent me for the Wiimote for it :D
