I know that the new psp slim has just released in North America, but is it worth the upgrade? Is it hackable? All I know is that its lighter and has double memory.

PSP phat vs. PSP slim

It's hackable if you have a regular PSP. Since you'll need a regular PSP with custom firmware to create a Pandora battery and magic memory stick.
The main benefits of the Slim homebrew-wise is that it has TV-out, as well as 64MB RAM and 64MB of free space on the flash memory (regular PSP only has 32MB). With the extra RAM I've also noticed UMD games load faster.
If its worth the upgrade or not is up to you. I mean, right now, there is really nothing that only runs on the Slim but not the Phat. Of course that could change in the future, like for example D_A recently got homebrew working with TV-out on the Slim (not fully working yet but getting there).

I think a lot of people misunderstand the TV code that D_A released. It's FULLY working, but it's just code that programmers work into their programs. It's not something that makes all programs magically appear on the TV. The programmers must insert D_A's code into their code and then alter the program to handle the larger screen that the TV out requires.
Ah, you're right - hadn't taken a good look at it until now. Cool, I'll have to try some things with it once I get an AV cable.

I still like the phat version better, even though I bought a slim version,(which I traded than for a phat)
Phat's are much more grippable and fit in my hands better. (and yes I know we can buy huge grips, still, it aint the same)
