At first glance, it would be very difficult to tell apart the PSP- 3000 from the PSP-2000 Slim. But a closer look would reveal some minor changes that Sony has made to the PSP-3000's exterior. The metal ring that is on the back of the PSP-2000 and the earlier PSP has now been replaced with a smaller chrome ring. Sony has also rearranged the location of both the Playstation logo and the Sony logo. The Playstation logo is now on the home button, while the Sony logo has been moved from the upper left to the upper right of the PSP-3000's face.
The most noticeable upgrade that has been added to the PSP-3000 is an improved LCD screen. The LCD screen is the same size as that of previous PSP versions (4.3 inch). The screen now has higher contrast and a wider color gamut. It also comes with an anti-reflective coating. The new screen upgrade delivers a better and richer array of color when playing games or viewing different content.
The screen color was compared to that of the PSP-2000, by reviewers at gamespot.com (who were the first to review the PSP-3000). It is quite evident in the review images posted on gamespot.com, that the PSP-3000 screen color was much sharper and brighter than the PSP-2000's. The new anti-reflective coating makes visibility much better in sun light and other well-lit settings.
A new built-in microphone has also been added to the PSP-3000. This new integrated microphone makes it easier to communicate through Skype and other compatible voice call networks, but will require Wi-Fi connection in order to work. The built-in microphone is also great for using with voice communication games.
Last but not least... Sony has also improved the video-out socket to make the PSP-3000 compatible with non-progressive TVs - which are televisions without HD capability. So if you don't own an HD-TV set, but want to connect your PSP to your TV... PSP-3000 will make that possible.
As Stated by Sony in their press release: The PSP-3000 will be made available in two new vibrant colors in addition to the traditional "Piano Black". The first version will be available in "Mystic Silver" when it goes on sale worldwide October 14, while the second new color - "Pearl White" will be available at a later date. The PSP-3000 will be priced at $199 when it goes on sale as reported by Gamespot.com.
With only a few new features added...is it really worthwhile to migrate from your current PSP to PSP-3000? If all you're looking forward to - is a nicer, more vibrant screen display or the ability to connect your PSP to regular TV without HDTV capability... then you really should go for PSP-3000.
Apart from that, there really isn't much of a reason switch to the new PSP-3000, especially if you already have a PSP-2000. The PSP-3000 is just a slight upgrade to the PSP-2000 Slim and supports the same games as all previous versions of the PSP.
