Sony PSP-3000: The display says it all


You may not see much of a difference between the new PSP and the old PSP Slim just by looking at it, but once you turn it on, you’ll notice the remarkable improvement in the display on the PSP-3000.

Notice how brilliant the screen is on the PSP-3000

Famitsu’s got a side-by-side comparison, and I guess the pictures say it all. Brighter, more vivid and rich; it puts to shame the already impressive screen of the PSP-2000.

PSP-2000 PSP-3000: More rounded

Aside from that, if you pay close attention, you’ll also notice that the PSP-3000 is a lot more rounded and has a redesigned UMD cover at the back.

The PSP-3000 features a slimmer circle around the PSP logo

Yeah, we wished that it had more to offer than minor cosmetic changes and a built-in mic, but the improved display is more than welcome. So if you’ve been holding back on getting a PSP, you definitely can’t go wrong with this new iteration as it is probably the best one among the current crop. The same as with all of you guys, we’re also waiting for details as to its local release and pricing.

I think they just set the pics of PSP-2000 to full mode of brightness and the PSP-3000 in the nomal mode of brightness.To look like they we’re Different thing but it’s just the same is just some sort of marketing strategy.their has never been a word or phrase that says: it’s in the same mode of brightness.

I got one PSP3000 only for around more or less Php9,500 because I sold it with other currency… I compare it with PSP2000 and the only difference is the brightness of the color, it is a little more brighter than the old one and it has a what they called a built-in mic to use for the skype user.. My ratings is not so impressive, better if it has a large capacity of internal memory.. :)

i can’t find any difference i think, same color, same brightness, only the design and the built-in mic only i think is the new features, but how to use mic??? only for skype user??? it is much better if sony added some bluetooth rather or a large capacity of internal memory??? Not so impressive, i sold it for around Php9500 only (in other currency)…
