Oh GAWD... it's HACK-PROOF... yeah right. That would be a dream come true for those of us who like online play... the day ANYTHING is "Hack Proof", I'll be dipped. You-all are livin' in a house o' cards if you believe THAT lie.

Well yea sony uses another method to put there software on the PSP so it is unlikely you can hack it when it releases.

The only reason I can see for upgrading to the 3000 model would be if you play your psp outside in the sun alot. But I would have to say no, it isn't worth it to upgrade for.

I'm getting it so that I can use my standard DVD recorder with it. I bought the PSP-2000 for that, but since it only puts out signal in 480p, I can't use it with my current DVD recorder to make gameplay videos. The biggest improvement for me is allowing interlaced output to TV.

Depends how you play/us it. Do you have games that you can chat online? Do you use Go!Messenger? Do you use Skype? Do you play outside or in the sunlight? Do you play on the TV? Do you really care about ghosting or whatever? Do you care if the colour is that much better?

So really its majority rules. If you say yes more get it if you say no more don't get it. I've probably left some out but you get the point.

I don't know, It depends in what condition is your current psp, mine was really busted and I upgraded to a GOW slim.

But If you still have the phat, I think is worth it, cause the D-pad is very much improved

To be honest, I feel as we need a "PSP2" instead of a new model. I never enjoyed the PSP a great deal. Just imagine sony made "Blu-ray UMD", Wow that would be amazing.:D I'll stop dreaming now.

I also had a think that they might be doing it to get rid of all the hackers, as PSP1000 and 2000 (Slim) were all hackable.

But there is the better screen for playing outside, which could be worth it as I do take my PSP out and about with me at times.

Hack Proof is a good thing. Unless you're a dirty pirate. :D

Granted, there are some people that 'hack' and still buy all their games, which is good. But making the new 3000 'hack proof' is to get people to develop for it.

Also, THE SCREEN AND MIC ARE NOT THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT. I'm getting the 3000 for the processor upgrade. Twice as fast, reduce my load times, and increase response time? Count me in.

'Remake an old franchise'

An old franshise that just gets better and better. Dissidia is an FF fan's dream. Agito as well. As far as Parasite Eve? I've been waiting for more of that story for a long time. Yggdra is brilliant, bought it day one and haven't regretted it.

Wasn't a fan of Patapon, but the fact is, they WILL be good games, unoriginal or not.

IMO those games will be original, you know, new ORIGINAL storyline and all.

If you trade in your old one for a new one, you'll have to pay some money. My friend said he didn't trade is phat psp for a slim because Gamestop asked for $40. And it may be hackproof until some hacker finds a way to get through, or Sony is trying to scare the hackers.

Well, I have the orginal PSP 1000 model and planning on ditching it for the 3000 model, Mostly because my fat psp is slowly breaking and stuff. But if your psp is working fine and you don't need a better LCD screen and Mic..then you shouldn't get it, but its totaly up to you

Not to upgrade. But if you don't have a PSP wait for a 3000 series.

You know what man, I am actually going to do the same thing. I have the PSP 1000 and it is in good condition, but Im going to upgrade to the 3000. Now if you own a PSP slim, I won't upgrade yet. I would wait out. I do plan on getting the core unit.

Really!?! How fast are the loading time compared to the PSP & PSP slim? I remember PSP slim being half the time of the PSP.
