On August 19, Sony announced the PSP-3000 at the industry conference in Leipzig. Now, we have had the chance to see the full product specifications for the new model, detailed below. While this revision does not make as many changes as the PSP Slim, it does include some very important improvements over the previous model. Namely, a brighter, less reflective screen for viewing outdoors, a built-in microphone for Skype (and games?), and video output to (non-HD) interlaced television sets. Reportedly, the new LCD screen has twice the refresh rate and twice the color depth of the current PSP-2000 model, meaning that games will look even better than ever and that pesky ghosting problem will be a thing of the past.

The new hardware will ship on October 14th, 2008 in North America, Japan, and Europe. Gamers will have the option of buying the PSP-3000 in one of 3 colors: Piano Black, Mystic Silver or Pearl White, all pictured below.

i have the psp 2001 and i think the psp 3000 sounds awesome but i heard the rumor of a psp 2 coming out and i was wandering if that was true and if so is it better than the 3000 and if it is not better should i get the psp 3000.
i got one.. PSP 3000 is so cool
can i buy games overseas and use them on my psp 3000 in South Africa
rayray just get custom firmware instead of official firmware so you can download free full games from websites also you can do so much more with custom firmware besides games then you ever could with official firmware
also if you were to get custom firmware you don't need to worry about your games from elsewhere not working on your psp just go to youtube to find out how to get custom firmware
i have psp1000 and i have custom firmware 3.40 OE-A
psp 300 is a very good console! also dsi
hey guys you need to aware that psp 3000 does not have any custom firmware. just buy original games which I know they are expensive.However, think about the loss the games manufacturer are making because of pirated games...
how much is is here in the philippines???
1) what is the difference besides a better screen from the 2000 series? 2) It has been proven that pirating games helps the industry - people that download the ISOs will eventually buy the UMDs due to several factors (computer crashes, available resources, recent uploads, ect.) 3) the PSP Go! (psp2) Has had the UMD drive removed, the Duo slot removed and replaced with an alternate slot, added 8 or 16 gig internal memory, and the USB port has been redesigend into a wierd and frightning setup.
