Minna No Nabi the GPS Navigation for PSP

Zenrin Japan is releasing its new GPS software that is compatible with PSP1000/2000/3000 but not PSP Go. It is called Minna No Nabi (Everyone’s GPS). It has the Sony’s latest Social PetaMap service. In case of low GPS coverage or in “buildings”, you can still get your approximate location via WiFi. The Minna No Nabi will be available in Japan for 8,190 Yen (without the GPS Module) somewhere around November 5th.

PS3 Slim slower than its predecessor?

September 1st, 2009

PS3 comparison

It looks like the PS3 Slim is slower than the bulky PS3. There are several comparison videos uploaded to Youtube comparing the start up, DVD, game loading etc. But the game loading seems like the PS3 Slim is faster, it doesn’t include the Spider-Man font splash screen.

It makes little sense that the new unit would have a different, slightly underpowered motherboard, so the rumor is that the two configurations might have different hard drives. The maker of the comparison claims both consoles use the same hard drive. It could also be a firmware issue.
