Who knows there might be Psp-4000, Psp-5000, Psp-6000, Psp-7000 too in the near future, in the circle of PSP's lifespan.

There is nothing so great of buying a new " cherry on the top " psp just for the sake of few improvements, Unless it has 2 analog sticks, it's not an improvement at all. After all , it's still the PSP , not PSP2.

well, unless you do not have a psp yet, the 3000 is worth a consideration, although psp-2000 is good enough.

Or you could just let people do what they want and spend their money however they choose.

If you have the money go for it. If you don't and just bought the new(not anymore) psp-2000 its not a good idea at all. Its not even a year since 2000 came out. Check out my blog and post your opinions on what I said. Peace

There will be a 4000 and so on. Why shouldn't the technology be progressive? It's not like they are splitting their fanbase at all.

Obviously if you think you are inclined to go out and get the new one, especially with such slight improvements then your just a naive magpie of a customer.

This is clearly intended to reinvigorate interest in the PSP and make it more attractive to new consumers. Some old owners may upgrade but Sony on the whole is probably banking on that not being the case.

Im getting it anyway. I've got the original model and it's not doing so hot.

I im definitely going to purchase one of these bad boi's since I just gave my nephew my phat for his b-day. The new screen (colors) should make a difference and the mic could come in handy down the road. The colors look wicked, especially that Mystic Silver :D

I dont care how many they release. Im not selling my 2001 till they get a second analog stick, built-in mic (which is happening), better online service, faster internet service, longer battery life and a few more things.

Buying a 3000 just for two upgraded features seems a bit wasteful to me, especially when I just bought my 2000 a few weeks ago.

PSP 2001 was a good additon as it gave old psp gamers reasons to buy a new one. PSP 3000 is just a waste of money for old psp gamers.In my opinion , Sony is trying to catch the attention of gamers who haven't already bought one. These changes won't convince me buy it as i alredy have a 2001. Anyway , i would prefer more (good) games and less minor upgrades.

i dont agree, there are many who might be interested in getting a PSP, so they should get the latest version and the PSP-3000 should be their best purchase...

I got the PSP-2000 so i wont get the new version... i will just wait for the PSP2... however i think there is still lots of potential/life for the current PSP and there are some great titles coming up...

It's pointless to get, its more of a better alternative to those who will buy a PSP in the future, rather than a big upgrade like 1000-2000 was. Anybody who sells their 2000 for a 3000 is pretty mad, just get a headset, the screen quality won't be a major improvement, it'll probably look sharper but that's about it.

Those are good points, but at the end of it, who's really going to pay ANOTHER 200$ for a "improved" PSP 3000 when they have the 2000 model? the price does not justify the improvements. i remember when gameboy was 70-90$ every time they would change it. they should just lower the price. they won't make much of a profit out of this, they should just wait another couple years and then ship the new model

I agree, I still have my first psp fat and I still haven't got a new one but like you say I would also prefer more good games... because the psp is lacking in good games =/..
