Forums - Sony - PSP 3000 Announced

FaithRaven on 20 August 2008

"Sony has unveiled a new model PlayStation Portable at its press conference at the Games Convention in Leipzig.

The PSP 3000 will be released in EMEA territories on October 15, priced EUR 199.

The new model will boast an enhanced screen and a built-in microphone to help establish the consoles as "a viable communication device," according to Sony Europe president David Reeves.

"We will be enhancing the LCD screen. What this actually means is we have taken the already high quality screen and increased the intensity and number of colours it can display," he told the assembled press.

The console will launch with a total of eight different bundles with games including FIFA and Buzz software and the Go! communications applications.

In addition, the Slim & Lite PSP will be reduced in price for a limited time to EUR 169.99"

If there is a U.S release and the difference is apparent, I might sell my PSP and buy one of these.

LOL nobody HAS to buy a new model. The old PSP just didn't get worse. Its not as if the new PSP had some new key features the old one didn't. I wouldn't have even thought how you could put a negative spin on a hardware refinement.

The screen is already good and you can always buy a headset with mic. It's not the end of the world ... I guess :)

How much better is the screen really going to get? Is it going to talk to you and congratulate you on your gaming expertise? Will it display a holographic fireworks show after completing a game?

The PSP screen is already great. If they manage to make it better, good for Sony.
