    This psp aint with the objective of making ppl buy it in order to upgrade, but to call ppl who don't have a psp.
    Look at the price and think, yes the improvement aint the best in the world and not the expected but call down.
    Wait a bit more, games will come out and everyone will be happy.

    so, in other words power-baron, as long as ppl continue to pirate and hack their psp's, then we get new versions every year or so?

    W00T keep on going pandora, i wanna c what the psp 4000 will look like!

    PSP has plenty of great games. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't taken a good look.

    Second, this new PSP is being released for one reason alone, to combat piracy aka the Pandora battery and custom firmware.

    Oh please, we don't need another one. We need GAMES. I guess this is only recommendable for people who still don't have PSPs, though. We don't need no enhanced LCD screen. We can always avoid the glare from the lights, though. Built in microphones are for people who use this to communicate. But I'm a gamer, I own the Slim and I just want MORE GOOD GAMES.

    why don't they give more effort on the games than a few little tweaks that we all really don't care for. i own a psp slim and find no need to upgrade since i got suckered into upgrading to the slim. i will keep my psp until it becomes obsolite. if you have any psp you do not need to upgrade for anything they all do almost the same thing and games still play well. im sad that they are not putting out better games.

    PURE CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERY YEAR THEY ARE GOING TO COME OUT WITH A NEW VERSION?!

    Oh please, you'll buy the psp 3000 as soon as you hear how much better the games look on it even if you just bought the slim. Who ya teasin?

    Didn't they show the PSP phat instead of the slim?

    This really isn't that different from the PSP Slim and Light. It sounds like sony is getting desperate to expand the market. Don't get me wrong i love the PSP Slim. There just isn't enough new features to justify buying a new system that is practically the same. How about 2nd analouge stick and some software improvements.

    @ people complaining for a second joystick sony will not put in a second one cause people who previously bought a psp wont be able to take advantage of new games that incorporate a second joystick so people stop complaining for second joystick or just wait out till psp2

    Sounds to me like a marketing campaign to cash in on Christmas.

    £20 more than the slim in the uk too... which was already considered too pricey for some. I think Sony are pricing themselves out of the market.

  • Lauryn2000

    Sounds sexy....but I already own the phat and GOW slim.
    No reason to pick up the PSP 3000...

    PSP 3000 aka PSP anti hack. but i don't think so

  • jacKnifekilla

    Posted Aug 27, 2008 12:24 pm PT

    i think this may be the dumbest thing ive ever heard of. i love the psp, but i guarantee, unless mine takes a dump, i will never own one of these. wanna know what i think? i think they've just done all the work on the hardware making it harder to hack. and they cant make that obvious, and call it the PSP NoHack. so they add a few minuscule features to throw people off. c'mon, why go through all the R&D to put out this garbage. a brighter screen? a built in mic? better tv output? money wasted. good work sony. i really like the part where he mentions "following considerable consumer feedback we've added a microphone" you mean to tell me out of all the 'consumer feedback' thats the feature you chose to implement? not dual analog? or any one of the hundreds of other features users want? pure jackassery...

    i think we can just get more brighter lcd screens and can install them by ourselves. SAME PRODUCT PSP 3000 SUCKS

  • RakinR

    Posted Aug 27, 2008 11:11 am PT

    phat psps are still better just work out a little you wont even notce the difference between that and the slim for weight purposes

    Posted Aug 27, 2008 11:07 am PT

    just another psp to stop homebrew, but we're too sexy we can eventually find a way to get cfw on the psp 3000 as well

    i agree with SplinterCellSC2 too much of the same and not enough new for me to buy only good thing is the new postions of the buttons below the screen thats it

    I still have my fat psp up until now and still alive and kicking... ^_^

    I am not thrilled at all with the "weak" upgrade to the PSP. I mean, so what is the big difference and where is the second joy stick a lot of users have been screaming for? Yeah, yeah so the screen is a little tougher and more scratch resistant...that is not going to get me to upgrade. I simply take good care of it and make sure I clean it often. The other "new" functionalities are too insignificant for me to even remember...I mean, Skype!?! WTF? LOL! Sony, please first get the gaming aspect down with your "portable gaming system" before you take on the Smart and IP Phones out there. I will keep my original PSP since I am able to still use it with my PS3...until they release the next version with the second joy stick. Man, always almost, never just right, guess they don't like to listen to the public...and to think, they actually created an expence account, paid that guy's way to the event and probably pay him 6 figures to talk about something that is not worth the effort...he could have phoned in that showcase with a picture of the thing on an easel...LOL!

    wow sony i wish you would add more stuff to newer versions... but its not bad for the price there asking for.

    this psp 3k is as good as mine. $200? I can't afford "not" to have this!

  • Trogeton

    Posted Aug 25, 2008 10:01 pm PT

    shut up about stupid analog stick... just don't buy it if you don't like it, and at least they are not grubbing for money like the other game companies, every time they make a new model of a console.. they are actually showing progress and not asking for nothing more from the buyer.. really some people here need to grow up... YOU WON'T GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT THAT'S LIFE

  • RLJSlick

    Posted Aug 25, 2008 12:38 pm PT

    The problem is that the screen isn't the proglem I have with PSP, it's the poor location of the analog stick and the almost useless ability to use it in a gameplay, especially shooters.

  • Osirex2

    Posted Aug 25, 2008 10:35 am PT

    that was the most stupidest thing of all time a new psp wat is that the 3rd alrready i still have the original with homebrew and everything. can the new one do that i dont think so.

    not half bad

  • thekarrd

    Posted Aug 24, 2008 11:43 pm PT

    shrug oh well, this will make the slim cheaper, which is bigger news to me than a psp3000 with more colors and mic.

  • Trogeton

    Posted Aug 24, 2008 9:45 pm PT

    I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO fricken getting this psp3000.. its such a great improvement.. and they are not begging for more money... NOW THAT IS CALLED SERVING YOUR GAMERS RIGHT.. NO MONEY GRUBBING

    WTH?? THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. I have the fat, and Im gonna wait till it becomes dynamically different with new features. Like, I dunno, A PS3 disc reader so u can play PS3 games on the PSP. Its gonna happen, Im not crazy.

  • flo17602

    Posted Aug 24, 2008 2:25 pm PT

    There is no difference from the last one except that it has a few small new features. Unless they mention something else thats worth buying for then ill consider buying it. Other than that I am ok with the first one.

  • happIz

    Posted Aug 24, 2008 12:13 pm PT

    i wish they added a 2nd analog nub. I still have the fat one and i use it to turn on the tv in my classes at school

    Sounds pretty good for those upgrading from phat or buying for the first time. If I'd bought a 2000 yesterday, I wouldn't be crying the blues. The new improvements aren't that big of a quantum leap. If I was going to buy one now, well, great! I'll have even more features.
    I'm not entirely sure why I keep hearing "cash grab" and "no sale". Ford makes cars and improves them, incrementally, on a year-to-year basis and the same goes for Kenmore with refrigerators. Sony has improved an existing product (while keeping the same price point)and now they are getting the word out. Simple as that. I'm not sure I see a problem here.

  • businessfox

    Posted Aug 22, 2008 12:47 pm PT

    So why is only now they want to come out with this PSP 3000 device, when I just got the old plain psp now. OH man if I have known this sooner I would of waited a bit longer. This is a bit dissappointing and prue non sense if ask me, but the new version does look nicer and better. I just hope they get it to the U.S soon and with different colours.
