Should I get a PSP 3000?

I've decided that I'm not gonna a get a PSP go for a lot of reasons. So I decided I was going to get a PSP 3000.

But after reading an IGN review I'm not too sure. It complains about scanlines and sometimes the colour looks

bad. I want to know if its okay to get these games on the PSP 3000 and if the colour looks alright.

- Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, Secret Agent Clank, Daxter, Wipeout Pure.

Help would be appreciated :)

The colour is always fine. Apparently there can be some interlacing but having played mine for the last 8 weeks (having upgraded from a 1000) I can honestly say I've never noticed!!

What I did notice was that the screen was a whole heap better than the 1000!!

My 2000 is now by far the system I game on the most. BUY BUY BUY!!!

I've been thinking about getting a 3000 and kicking my 2K down to the roommate or my nephew. PS - Screen misalignment and stuff like that drives ME nuts, too! My DS has that deformity of manufacture.

;)

I have the PSP 2000, and i don't have any color problems and it appear that Sony is finally going to toss out some good game, So i would say buy If you are worried about color schemes check with your local Gamestop and see if they have a used PSP 2000, you can't skype but who cares on that

What do you guys mean by interlacing? I also have a PSP 3000 but I haven't noticed any issues at all regarding the screen.

Take a look at the picture in the signature above your post (the one with the cars). See the horizontal lines? That is what I see when I play Motor Storm or Gran Turismo on my 3000. I know that picture isn't supposed to be an example of interlacing, but it is earily similar to what I see. This only happens when there is motion on the screen. If the image is not moving, there are no lines. It is very pronounced when there is a vertical bar moving across the screen. Instead of a smooth horizontal line, I see a very jagged line moving.

But, as I said in an earlier post, you stop noticing after a while. When I first got my 3000 (about 2 weeks ago), the interlacing drove me crazy. Now, I still see it, but I don't notice it as much. It's like when I first got my 1000 and 2000, the ghosting used to really bother me, especially playing racing games. When there was a lot a action on the screen, the picture would just turn to mud.

So you have to decide what bothers you more, ghosting or interlacing. I still think I prefer the 3000 screen over the others because of the higher contrast. I've gone back and played some of my older games and have seen background detail in some games that never showed very well on my 1000 and 2000.

Just played Silent Hill and noticed it. Doesn't really bother me. Thanks for the info. Do you know if the PSP Gos screen suffers from ghosting or interlacing?

psp go still suffers form interlacing.

Thanks guys really appreciate it :)

Its good to hear the PSP 3000 doesn't make games look that bad as ign says, thanks.

I didn't even notice interlacing until I watched a little video clip on my psp and one of the actor's faces went jagged around the corners for a second. Other than that, imo, the interlacing problem has been blown out of proportion.
