It looks as if Best Buy is clearing out inventory of their 2000 series core units, as they are now seling for $149.99 in stores and online. I guess this is the end of the fade out period for the 2000. Anyone here going to pick one up at that prce?

I don't think $20 is much of a difference between the two, enough not to chose the 3000. If it were a bundle for 149, maybe, but not the core.

I'm on the verge of getting a new unit, but if I make the upgrade, it's going to be a 3000 core. I have the 1000, but I've been getting curious over the past few months.

I made the upgrade from 1000 to 3000 over Christmas and it was totally worth it. The screen is brighter and more colorful, I jove the feel of the 3000 in my hands much better than the 1000.

Silver. I don't think there were any black available when I went. I like not seeing fingerprints on the silver.

I'm just not sure, my 1000 is in perfect working order, mint condition. At the same time, I feel like I'm missing out on too many new features...

Already have the 1000, and 150$ for something that doesn't much of any new features? Nah. I'm good.

I was really thinking about getting the 3000, just because its supposed to help eleminate the horrid ghosting issue. My main psp game, mgs: portable ops, is terrible with ghosting. Though, scan lines? I've had crt hdtvs, and I can tell you scan lines bother the crap out of me.

Waiting to see what the 4000s like, or for the 2nd psp all together.

Yea, I'd be willing to bet everyone is going to have the 2000 at that price within the next few weeks. Core 3000 packs have arrived in US stores this week.

I've got two 1000's and as much as I'd love to play my PSP games on my TV, I can't bring myself to spend $150 for a newer model.

I would not buy the 2000 for a $20 difference either.

With the 3000 having some tech screen issues, the 2000 seems to be the best overall buy. If anyone was thinking of getting a psp this would be a great time.

I still use my 1000 version from 2006, and it works fine still. I still don't see the need to upgrade as the 3000 isn't really that much different.

I guess that's a no from You. The Dell price of $144.99 is'nt that bad, I've never seen PSP at a cheaper price.

It looks like a fake site. You can tell, as they refer to their products as "bran new", rather than brand new. Whenever it's an unknown site like this, it's usually too good to be true.
