[SSS]

how many times does sony need to redesign this thing?

higher res screen, just hope it can be modded as easily as the previous 2.

More minor changes, tho it is cool they're releasing a white one in the US finally.

They're not.

They should've just skipped the PSP Slim and added all of its features to this one. It would've seemed like a much bigger improvement than what we're getting.

Also, any word on changes in battery life or load times? Because this is a definite pass for me if not.

The only bit that actually interested me:

"which will allow new PSP users to enjoy games on non-progressive TVs."

Why wasn't this included from the start?

I was on the fence about the slim specifically because it lacked this feature. This will put the new model into "must buy" territory for me.

What color is the star wars edition psp that has been out for like a year now in the US?

I don't want a fucking Darth Vader face on the back of my PSP.

higher res is not as improtant to me as the screen being able to play games without the image drifting, like on shooters.

wow, the screen looks 100% better! Now I feel kinda bad about buying the Blood Red PSP. Oh well if this new one is pandorizable I will be getting it just for the new beautiful screen. Being able to see the fucking picture in the daytime is most important IMO.

anyone know when this one is scheduled for release? if it is yet i mean. I don't really want to click too many links at work. was considering picking up a psp, but i should prob wait for this.

This photo pisses me off.

I bought my PSP-2000 a little while after they came out, and I have gotten a shitload of use out of it. However, that fucking photo highlighting the screen improvements makes me want another one so bad.

I think I will take this opportunity to buy a 3000 for my main gaming PSP, and then use my 2000 to mess around with emulation and homebrew. I've been wanting to do that forever.

yeah I remember hearing about it on the news, oddly within the new york stock market info I was just wondering how many versions do we need I mean we already have two ds versions, Will there be a third one? probably not. I kind of wanted the slim ffVII LE or should I wait for this one?

Sony is just taking a page out of Nintendo's handbook. Redesigning the Gameboy allowed it to revitalize its sales over and over. Personally, I welcome the revs. I can understand purchasers of the 2000 being pissed off, but I welcome the continual improvement. The best strategy is to sit tight on your current PSP (whatever that is) until they make enough improvements for you to upgrade. I've got a phat, and there weren't enough improvements in the 2000 to make it worth my while. However, with the additions to the 3000 (mainly the higher refresh rate of the screen), I'll likely pick this model up.

looks like i'll be getting my 4th psp when this comes out., that screen is very very nice. though its a shame, that they just released the slim coming to a year ago, thenthey release this.

 

[Joe West]

I read its suppose to hookup to any kind of tv, and red & white colors.....

I didn't hear anything about a higher refresh rate, just a higher contrast and reduced glare. Where did you get that information?

I ended up getting a 2000 for the d-pad improvements, I didn't really care about any of the other crap. Being that controls aren't improved, I don't see myself really caring about the 3000.

I gots a fat so I'll be getting that.

Is this "3000" in slim format or is fat back?

The form factor for the 3000 will be identical to the 2000 I believe...

 

[AppleiDog]

Well the Speakers are at the top so that would suggest that its going the same route as 2000.

 

[Liquid Snake]

I'll get this one for sure. It also means that I can play PSP game on big screen

 

[KoldStare]

The new PSP looks HOT!

When this model will be released?
