Nada, GS had a hands-on on it. Nothing new apart from the Mic and the new screen. Oh, I also beleive they noted that the battery would decrease by 20 minutes.

Since i already have a psp, i dont really see any ginormous reason to get the 3000. A right Analog Stick should be reason enough, but not a mic or a better screen. i dunno... that's just me

If you already have a PSP then don't sweat it. Unless you are one of those who always wants the newest and best. Its like buying a new computer then finding out 6 months later that they have improved it. The improvements to the PSP are not that much that would make anyone run out and buy another at 200 bucks. Be happy with what you have it is powerful enough.

Yea, you can now play games and not just watch movies on your TV I think is what they said. Might be wrong though.

You already can owith the PSP-2000 on a TV that supports 480p input. The 3000 update allows you to do likewise with standard def TVs

Oh ok sorry, I knew it was something along those lines. Haven't been following it that much.

I'm getting one no questions asked, since my screen is so scratched by now, my battery is on it's way out and it's just time for an upgrade. Mine was a Launch PSP.

The 3000 is still slim and light right?

Indeed it is. It's basically the 2000 with a few improvements.

Uh yeah, Japan is getting the PSN store on the PSP, as well as Ad-Hoc online play through the PS3. We'll get it soon after them but that's just another one of the features coming out. It will be available for all the PSPs but it's coming out when the 3000 is.

Here's what I want to know about the "play games on 480i-only displays" feature on the PSP-3000: why couldn't they implement that in the PSP-2000 in the first place? It's not like they couldn't pull it off in a firmware update, given that there are already software workarounds out there. In fact, I just get the feeling that the PSP-3000 is what the PSP should have been from the outset-something with a screen that doesn't have crappy response time, as well as an integrated mic for those that don't have headsets and full-blown TV-out.

They should've just skipped the PSP -2000 altogether. They should've combined the features of the 2000 and 3000, marketed it as the Slim, and increased the battery life. It would've seemed like a much larger upgrade over the 1000.

Another unmentioned feature is the tighter security so publishers have a reason to bring something out for the psp.

Because 1000 and 2000 were so stupidly easy to mod the sales suffered alot wich is why there are not any new games coming out while the DS is swimming in fresh content.

Ummm, there's alot more than just screen and mic. They're adding screen and mic improvments, sure, but they're also giving it a faster processor, which is increasing the response time by twice what it is now. Another thing they're doing (at least in the silver ones) is adding a NON GLOSS FINISH so there aren't fingerprints all over the place anymore.

Oh, and battery life isn't decreasing what-so-ever anymore. They fixed that problem. X3

EDIT: And the anti-piracy measures will make more people actually want to develop for it.They've also improved the output to TV/Sound from the PSP 2000. It's ALOT better now.

It IS a good thing. The fact is, the PSP is so easy to mess with, noone bothers making many games for it. OMG NEW GAME /download. It's stupid. Anti-piracy IS good.

Lol of course they'll try to implement some anti-piracy features. They've been trying with the firmware "upgrades" for years.

well yea, but i mean hardware. like how the slim psp when trying to boot in config mode the screen didn't turn on. that's supposed to fool people... supposed to....

but the newest motherboard is really hard to hack apparently. which means w/e they're using on the new 3000 series will be either the same mobo or completely unhackable

yes..anti-piracy is good..i'm agree... but for those who can't afford to buy the original...it's totally not good... For me,i prefer the original UMD disc,but here the UMD price is too high..Beside,it's so hard to find a good UMD games here...

i bought a psp300 today to replace my 2000 which was stolen:evil:

the screen colours and brightness changes were obvious

other changes noticed so far are auto connect to usb, home button now ps

there is virtualy no ghosting and i cant see the" scan lines" on screen

oh they sorted out the power drain from new display by making rest of psp run more power efficient

apparently if psp3000 can be modded then playstation will phase out their handheld as dirrect result of piracy.

at the end of the day sony make very little profit from hardware sales and rely on software sales but if everyone uses cfw and

homebrew loaders they will go bust simple economics. i ran cfw 3.71 m33 on my slim at one time so i aint no saint but third

party partners arent producing many games for the psp due to poor sales caused by widespread piracy
