Not wishing to suggest that UK gamers are getting screwed, but worrying news is emerging from retailers that the PSP Slim and Lite – Sony’s narrower, lighter version of the popular handheld - will launch in the UK without the TV cable and in only the black colour option. Retail chain GAME told reporters that the cable – which allows you to play PSP games on your big-screen TV – is not included in the official pack as supplied by Sony, and that there is no indication of when it might arrive as an aftermarket accessory.
This marks the latest in a number of frustrations for UK gamers at the hands of Sony, most notably accusations of price-gouging over the PS3 and the lack of hardware emulation for playing the full back catalogue of games. Gamers responded with poor sales of the PS3, a situation those in the know at Sony must be hoping doesn’t affect the latest PSP.

your headline states no tv out. but the story indicates that it does have it, just not the cable.

I’m sorry if you felt misled, that certainly wasn’t the intent. I’ve changed the headline to hopefully make it clearer.
Thanks for the feedback.
