Simply The Best January 8, 2009
The all new slimmer PSP 3000 comes in with a couple of new upgrades over the 2000 model. Primarily for the Skype functionality, a microphone is onboard along with a reduced glare 4.3" screen. As far as glare reduction goes, I did not see that much of a difference over the PSP 2000. Its a given that fingerprints will still be a continued problem for the PSP line. Thankfully, the age old problem of ghosting has yet to appear on my new PSP 3000. One of the sweeter features now is an upgraded (AV) video output support. Owners can now operate their systems with regular (NON HD) TV. I suggest buyers pick up a good add on composite or component cable. With the usual collection of great games, improved graphics is a major plus.
As with all previous models, control buttons layout are very much like the classic Play Station. One area of concern is that load times for the UMD (Universal Media Disc) seemed to drag a bit. Its a given that purchasing the kit which includes the proprietary MS Duo Card is more cost effective in the end. Its obvious that Sony missed the boat when it went with its own proprietary format instead of the more widely used and less costly SD standard.
Even though Wi-fi capable, the unit is outfitted with possibly the slowest version (802.11b) on the planet. It powers up via a 5 volt ac adapter or USB. Video playback is great as long as you copy your favorites on the memory stick Duo Card. Going any other way is definitely a slow dragged out process. When it comes to television, Sony's own version of Slingbox allows for free tv viewing. This PSP won't get confused with your IPOD anytime soon but music play is generally good. Another added feature is that it will even support music art. If one is going to display photos on the PSP I strongly suggest compressing your files. Photo display can be slide show or singles.
Of note, the PSP is also a web browser. However, its hit and miss for flash. Streaming internet radio via Shoutcast is a freebie. PSP offers a regular schedule of firmware updates. As with the earlier editions, via a network or the internet the unit can pick up audio, video and photo files that are stored on a PS3. I strongly suggest spending the bucks to purchase a protective case.
Even with its minor flaws, the PSP 3000 still brings it on. I would definitely recommend this model as a gift to one's self much less a gift to others.
New and shiny December 31, 2008

PlayStation 3000. This is a nice machine, piano black and glossy. I just love that look. I also own a 1000. The new one has much faster load times and I have noticed much brighter colors and the screen is defiantly glare proof. Words cannot describe what you can get out of any of these products along with a PS3, but I will try. If you have a home network these systems can connect directly to your wireless router and your ps3. This might be techie or geeky but you can even play certain ps3 games on your Psp via remote play option, you can download and play ps1 games on the psp anywhere you want to. Get an 8 or 4 gig card for this thing and transfer anything from your PC to it, surf the internet, listen to music. The 2000 and the 3000 model can be hooked to a big screen, the list goes on.
Back to the 3000 itself. Faster load times, glare proof and much lighter, with big screen compatibility. I was worried about the scan line issue I read about in other reviews but not now it is very miner and with with future updates I suspect it will completely disappear.
PSP 3000 is awesome! December 24, 2008

I just bought the PSP 3000 and it is great! The best thing about it is the screen, which is large, bright, and colorful (much better than my NDS). Before I bought it I read about some problems with scanlines so I was a little worried, but so far I see no such scanlines or ay other bugs in the screen, so Sony must have fixed whatever issues there where. My favorite game is Patapon, I highly recommend it too.
Handheld entertainment bonanza December 22, 2008

With a wealth of games and movies, the new refined PSP is a big bonanza. It is slim, sleek and bright. Either if you are new to PSP or upgrading from PSP1000, this one has a lot to offer. Inbuilt microphone, bright LCD scree, better battery life, smoother inputs and more ergonomic placement of master controls. This is a very well designed machine, if you have checked the past PSP history they have very long life. Perfect for both adults and young ones. 08 had more than 10 block busters for PSP. 09 is promising to be another great one with more goods coming from Japan and EU. Most important of all Little Big planet and Resistance Retribution. All the PSP2000 accessories are compatible with PSP3000, every thing from case to car chargers. As with PSP2000 this one sport a larger RAM. With additional hardware resources it supports a wide variety of media including 720x480p H.264/MP4 DVD quality movies, wma, mp3 and more.
This is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! December 21, 2008

Ok first of all let me start by saying the psp 3000 is awsome.
The core pack is nice put it only comes in black. In the box you will find the PSP 3000 (black), the batery, the ac adapter and the charger thats it. where as the bundle packs come with the PSP 3000 (black or silver), a memory stick, a game, a movie, a voucher, the ac adapter and the charger.
The core pack is cheaper than the others. The black is glossy where as the silver is matte.
The new features of the PSP 3000 is that the LCD screen is enhanced making it glare proof and there is a built in microphone for scype.
Thats it for my review hope it helped.
