GameSpot: Sony PSP-3000 Hands-On

Sony announced its updated PSP-3000 system at last week's Leipzig Games Convention. Pictures of the new system have already popped up online, but GameSpot has the first hands-on look at the new PSP here in the United States.

[Cajun Chicken]

Buying this!
Hahaha, I can out do my friend who bought the PSP-2000 to play GoW:CoO and I need a new one because I busted the UMD drive closing mechanism by dropping it.
Masking tape does wonders.

how old the 2000 psp is.....and how often it was used.....that way I can know if the difference is really that drastic. Anyways...I will most likely be taking advantage of my service agreement to get the 3000.

[aiphanes]

This is simply awesome...I still have the old PSP...which I will always keep...but I will get a PSP-3000 day one....I just do not know which color....

[Sitdown]

I love my silver one...I have not had the black one since the original.....but that 4gb is tempting.

[iceman2885]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna trade in my silver psp and upgrade to the black one with the 4 gig stick.

[Strife Lives]

Im pretty sure I can hold out until next years PSP 4001.The one that will launch for next holiday season,with its inevitable inclusion of a HDD.

[whoelse]

I dont think I will buy this even though i only have the 1000. It's a lot of money for me for something i rarely use anyway.

[SL1M DADDY]

I barely touch my PSP. I will say that if I did not own a PSP already, this would be on my list of purchases but since I own the PSP2000, I just can't see spending the cash to buy something that doesn't give me much improvements. Now, add a second thumb stick and I am sold!

[pain777pas]

I just got a new one I'm hesitant but I think by the time this comes out I'm going to crack.

[Digital Doom 01]

I have the 2000, and won't be upgrading to the 3k. I think it is a waste of time for the companies to be doing little changes like this when they have to revamp for the changes. It seems more cost effective to make bigger changes less often from the manufacturing aspect.

A brighter screen, microphone, and more color isn't a reason to buy a new one. Now a second analog stick.....
