It seems that sony are just mindlessly reproducing new PSPs to try and sell more products. I think that the PSP 3000 was more of a trial to test if Sony had the technology to beat hackers. They just added a few extra gimmics to sell a few of them. This trial is just to see if they can beat the hackers and if so use that hard drive in the PSP 2. This may have been an objective in the PSP 2000 and it obviously failed so that made them release a PSP with different Hardware. They would do this to make sure that when they release the PSP 2 it is unhackable. there would be nothing worse for sony than releasing the PSP 2 and finding out it could be hacked and losing millions in game sales as they already have. But it also seems that hackers may have caught on to this because non of the main hackers have really tried to hack into the PSP 3000. Only amatuers have tried. Does this mean they know how to hack into it but arn't releasing the technology because they want to wait for the bigger prize of the PSP 2? I hope not because the hacking of PSPs has caused a lot of major gaming companies to steer away from the PSP. Thank god for Square Enix for producing PSP games or else I would probably be selling my PSP and investing in a less hackable gaming console.
