Just bought PSP-3000.......

So does the new model have different packaging? How can one tell it is a "psp-3000"?

Check the outter box and it'll tell you.

When I went into the Sonystyle store and asked for PSP-3000, two associates were like "WTF are you talking about?" until manager came over and informed them that new stock of PSP-3000 came in this afternoon

lol, at sony employees, clueless my friend.

Are there any system only packages out there or is it just the Jax/Treasure UMD/DUO combo package that is out there?

There's Madden package.

The Core system (piano black) will be out by end of November. I think I'll get another one for sure

I believe the Madden Blue is slim.

Edit: Slim = 2000

I could take mine back to Best Buy, but I don't know what story to tell them after I've already opened it and it works fine. I've returned a lot of stuff to Best Buy, I'm running out of stories.

Other than what hanafuda said about ghosting and how solid it feels, I don't see much reason to upgrade. The review linked in this thread doesn't say anything about that. I generally trust hanafuda's word, but I don't know if there is anything other than unsubstantiated rumors right now. Anyone else have more information I could look at?

It's 3000. Check the model number (or serial number) on the outter box.

The Madden Blue PSP is a 2000 model. (I've sold enough of them...) ATM the only 3000-model package is the Ratchet & Clank bundle.

They will be releasing a black system with a 4 gig memory card 'soon', however. (It'l be $200 as well.)

Really....wow.....I thought Madden Blue PSP is 3000 model. My bad.

I guess I'm on my own with the decision unless someone else can confirm the clear benefits of the 3000 over the 2000.

It has been advertised as having less reflection on the screen. I compared it to a 2000 model, and it indeed reflects less. Other than that, not much different than the 2k model. My son has the 2k. I have the 3k. Bought it about two weeks ago.

How's does the battery life compare to the Slims. I heard it was less, but if it's not too much of a difference, I wouldn't mind picking this one up . I've never owned a psp and wouldn't mind getting one for a few games out there.
