PSP earphones and remote get redesigned

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 22nd 2007 at 6:30PM }

The PSP is changing in ways we never expected. The earphone and remote accessory is changing for the new PSP-2000. As you can see, the remote now has a reconfigured button layout -- could it be more intuitive than the original? We're assuming that the PSP-2000 requires this new remote due to the changed AV-compatible headphone jack.

Check out another picture of the redesigned earphones after the cut.

Hey! That's pretty cool! They moved the Volume to were the Play&Pause place & they moved the Play&Pause to the middle. They also moved the Next Song&Previous song to were the Volume control used to be. What's the price? I think it will be $14.99 (Without Tax ofcourse)

Does anyone know if these will be included in the $170 package? The piano black one.

Hey the guy above!
No it won't be included, the piano black system only comes with the wall charger. But these will probably be at retail for $14.99 at your local Gamestop or Wal-Mart.

Cool, thanks for answering my question. It seems odd the regular pakage is so bare-bones.

To Jeff: Sony is trying to make the PSP seem more affordable when compared to the DS.

And the DS comes with headphones? More bias please.

Nice touch ... and I dont think Hasbrown_Hunter meant this in a hostile way Paul W ;)

I agree that it is a bit strange not to include the headphones/remote with the base package, but part of me doesn't mind--after all I can use any set of earbuds/headphones that I already have, if I don't want the remote functionality.

This is especially nice for existing owners looking to upgrade to the new PSP, and I for one am thankful that Sony isn't shoving some sort of "package" down my throat with a (too small) MS Duo, a game I already own, etc. At least I have the choice of whether or not I want to buy the accessory, instead of paying too much to begin with.
