The Sony PSP 3000

Thursday, Aug. 21 2008 | Author: Jim

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Sony announced that it will be releasing the next Sony PSP version dubbed as Sony PSP 3000 by mid-october, just in time for the big Thanksgiving and Christmas season sale. This announcement was made in Leipzig Germany during a video game convention.

Most of the improvements will be based on a more enjoyable/comfortable gaming experience, which includes brighter screens (bright to bring out and play under the sun), speedier performance (due to memory boosts) and a better battery life.

The Sony PSP 3000 has new feature additions, the most important would be a built-in microphone that will make the new PSP capable as a telephone.

“We believe that this will establish the PSP as a viable communication device,” said David Reeves, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

It will retail for US$294 in the US and Europe.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the price for the core pack will remain at $169 and the price for the bundle will be at $200.

That’s what the official press release said … :)

I’ve been after a PSP for a while so I might as well wait for this one.

I think Sony are wasting their time. If they’re making new versions of the console, they should make the system more powerful and upgrade the whole lot like the PS3 did to the PS2.
But still this is still a problem because some people with the old fat psp like myself will suffer as some games will only become available to the new version and not the old. Just like the PS3 and PS2.

Pig: Same to you!!!

User:

Whats wrong with the screen?
Like with all LCD screens: handle with care.
Or put a screen protector over it.
What I would like to see is a more non-reflective-to-light screen.
Sometimes it’s difficult so see under certain light conditions.

And when will the PS3 come down with the price, to at leat $300.
It’s still too expensive.
