PSP-3000

You’re never too late to get your first PSP, so if you’re in the market for a PSP, don’t be a sucker and buy the old stock, insist on the PSP-3000 or hold your purchase. As far as the improvements are concerned, here’s what people are saying:
PSP Fanboy - So what exactly are the improvements made to the PSP-3000’s newly upgraded LCD screen? According to a report by Engadget Japan, the screen is more colorful, has a stronger contrast ratio, and to the praise of gamers everywhere, has a faster response time. The official stats? Color gamut is twice as wide. The contrast ratio is improved 5 times. The response time has doubled. For gamers that have complained about the PSP-1000 and 2000’s slow response time (which creates a ghosting effect in certain games), this is certainly good news.
Engadget - It’s not like Sony could really keep this thing under wraps for much longer, but the company finally did the deed by announcing the PSP-3000 at the Leipzig Games Convention. The unit itself will look exactly like the PSP-2000, though it will feature an “improved screen that’s better outside with no glare and a built-in mic.” The juicy tidbits have yet to surface, but we are told to expect the new handheld in Europe for €199 ($291) on October 15th.
