PSP 3000 Announced

[KiraxYamato]

The new PSP retains the size and features of the current, slimmed-down PSP (PSP-2000), while incorporating some hardware updates:

* The LCD screen will have a wider color gamut and higher contrast ratio to deliver deeper, more vibrant colors, as well as anti-reflection technology so you can see the screen more clearly when playing outdoors. As you all know, the PSP’s screen is a key strength of the hardware, and this update adds an absolutely dazzling LCD screen to the handheld.
* A built-in microphone allows for Skype calls and multi-player gaming communication directly from the hardware - eliminating the need for attaching a separate headset.

Similar to our firmware updates, the new PSP is simply an opportunity to evolve the platform with the newest technology without adding to the cost of the system. The PSP Entertainment Packs will continue to be $199.99 (MSRP), and later this year we’ll release a standalone, updated PSP in a PSP Core Pack, which remains at $169.99 (MSRP).

[Xitherun]

once it's hacked, I'll consider getting one. although, it's not much of an improvement.

[Nathanias]

i wonder if i could swap the guts for 2000 stuff other than the screen, i already have a good PSP mic

[Ino]

Not....so much of an improvement..

I won't be getting one

I love this forum so much. It isn't as bad as other forums where the first few posts on a thread like this are, 'is it gonna be hackable?'.

[Empty_Space]

I will get it since i have a phat. My phat will be for hacking and this one will be for looking nice.

the whole screen looking nicer calls my attention, the screen on the slim is what possesed me to buy it

If this turns out hackable, I'll upgrade my fat to this. What a silver PSP anyways.
