Comparison photo: PSP slim screen versus PSP-3000 screen |
Listed in: News Tags: Famitsu, headset, Leipzig, Skype, Sony
Ó
Ok, so when the PSP-3000 was announced back in Leipzig, a lot of us were "wuh?" over the supposed "changes" in this model. A "crisper" screen and a mic? How sad. Does that even deserve the name 3000?
Well, don't knock it till you try it. New photos from Famitsu show off just how "crisp" the 3000's screen actually is when compared with the Slim:
Nice, eh? Anyway, here's how Sony described the new screen and the mic of the PSP-3000, in case you're curious:
- The LCD screen will have a wider color gamut and higher contrast ratio to deliver deeper, more vibrant colors, as well as anti-reflection technology so you can see the screen more clearly when playing outdoors. As you all know, the PSPÂ’s screen is a key strength of the hardware, and this update adds an absolutely dazzling LCD screen to the handheld.
- A built-in microphone allows for Skype calls and multi-player gaming communication directly from the hardware - eliminating the need for attaching a separate headset.

Would be great if they also included the phat in this comparison (I was always curious if there was any improvement from the phat's screen to the slim's screen).

Doubt I will try it since I would like to get one and rely on the warranty if needed rather then fix another unit, but longterm I would be interested.

Of course they made it look like that to attract consumers but there's only very little probability it would really be like that. I remember them saying that about slim when they compared it to the phat!

Just don't buy cheap monitors, is all I can say.

Also there's more shine on the PSP slim's outer case too. I'm not entirely calling shenanigans but this is a PR shot after all so I'm not fully trusting the contrast between the 2 screens will be this great.
Though the response time does bother me on the PSP. I bought a Slim hoping that ghosting would be eliminated... Sadly no. If only they pulled a Nintendo and put a better screen in their FIRST revision (2000 model), rather that stagger updates. A poor practice IMO.

the PSP1000 will be retitled the "PSP-sorry-we-made-it-too-fat-and-chunky"
the PSP-2000 is now "PSP-ok-we-fixed-it-now-you-can-put-it-in-your-pocket"
the PSP-3000 is going to become the "PSP-ok-sorry-bit-of-a-*****-up-right-now-this-is-really-it-is-the-ultimate-final-last-word-in-sony-hand-held-gaming-thank-you-for-shelling-out-400-bucks-on-the-last-2-unfinished-"BETA"-versions-though-you-may-want-to-start-saving-for-the-PSP-4000-due-early-next-year"

The 2000 is my fave. That extra memory really does work, playing games like MHF2 and the likes really are better at loading. And of course they're much lighter and much more portable.
Hated the 1000. What a stain that was, and of course Sony's quality control letting all them dead pixels out. Surprised there wasn't a class action lawsuit like the PS2 laser had!
I'll stick with a 2000 but will buy a 3000 replacement screen for it. Perhaps the higher capacity battery too (if they fit).
And a MEGA LOL to Ieland56 who doesn't class ALL gaming machines, all systems meant to play fantasty/fictional games as nothing more than toys. They are toys! They are playthings for kids and adults!

If u want your old screen to look like that, remove the peice of the faceplate that covers the screen, looks great, just see what happens when u pocket it.

How do I sound stupid. There's no real differences between this 3000 and the slim. I like to invest my money wisely. I'm not rich but have enough to get by in this world. Why would I buy an unhackable slim with a mic when I'm on 3.90M33 on my slim and have a headset.
You sound stupid telling me to throw away 200 bucks for a mic and new screen.

I gave SONY my 200 bucks for a slim and now this? ("I want a PSP 3000" comment)
It probably wont even be hackable so what's the point. ("I know it will get hacked, but I will hate on it, since I can't afford one" comment)
It's just a slim with a better screen and mic, Woohoo, NOT. ("I am jealous that it will be better than my slim" comment)
I'll be sticking with my slim and I advise you all to do the same. (Becoming a PSP 2000 fanboy, instead of staying a PSP Fanboy" comment)
Lol. Don't ever be a politician.

thats right i said it, if youwant to hack nuclear arms and order pizza all on the same device, its a laptop. not a psp.
the psp 3000 is good, and ill buy one if i have the money. i own a phat now, and never liked the slim really. the only feature the slim had that i was interested in was video output, but sony couldnt get that right.
also, another feature of the psp 300 are its internal speaker configuration. i dont know if theyre changing the speakers at all, but they are in a more sane location. the old psp's had speaker holes on the bottom if youll notice, this one has them on the front, right where you can put your thumb over them to mute them if you need to, before, i had to stuff this thing into my beergut to shut it up fast.
this machine also should ahve a screen switch to turn the bugger off, and a mute button. imho.

Does picking apart and analyzing the detritus of other people posts give you some sense of superiority?
Well, whatever floats your boat.
My point, if indeed I had one was that every system upgrade is an admission that the previous system was far from the be all end all killer app it was marketed as,
so I thought maybe sony could change their marketing campaign to something more sincere like,
"Dude, get your own, and then get another and another, because we haven't got it right yet "
No i wont buy one when it becomes obsolete, though I'm a fan of obsolescence (thats why I'm talking to you;)
my sense of self esteem isn't fragile enough to be eroded by the fact that my psp is 12 micro grams heavier or my screen is 10 candle power duller than the guy's sitting next to me. sorry to disappoint you, anyhoo have fun dissecting my post.

(I paid good money to be fooled)
It probably wont even be hackable so what's the point. (Ever heard of the TA-088V3 idiot. plus who knows what batteries this thing uses. Also I have the money, but I don't believe in wasting it like you obviously)
It's just a slim with a better screen and mic, Woohoo, NOT.(These only 3 new feature but no second analogue, no HDD, no extra ram. these are things worth upgrading for)
I'll be sticking with my slim and I advise you all to do the same.(I'm giving advice to people who will just waste their money. key word "Advice")
Screw you and don't ever become a politician. You'd probably spend all of the US's money on another war because the soldiers will have new helmets.

I bought the fat PSP. Costed me 250.
I bought the Slim. Costed me 200.
Already that's 450 dollars plus tax on the same handhelds just that the Slim has more features.
SONY's history is releasing a original fat model then a Slim that offers a little bit more appeal and features and definitely makes the upgrade worth it.
Confident that the 2000 model was my final PSP investment here they go releasing anh unhackable Slim with a new screen and a mic. They want me to pay another 200 for that? No way. They got 450 dollars out of me which I'll never get back. Now tell me, with the puny amount of new features, I'm supposed to buy that? If you say yes, than your a wasteful idiot. You don't -7uck with a mans hard earned money.

Personally I wish the 3000 exterior would be the same plastic used on the 1000 back, but this time on the front too.

To turn the screen off: simply press and hold down the Screen Brightness button for a second.

You guys thought the slim would be the final psp, but then Sony comes out with something new. something that could be "unhackable" or have a "different battery".
Ok, here is my question. Why would you care about spending any extra $200 for something that could be unhackable? Why even give it any breathe?
And please don't give me that BS about you spending $450 on two systems. You know you got your money worth with the cfw, isos, roms, etc.
Basically, all I'm hearing on this thread is haters. Just be satisfied with what you have. I own both of them and not complaining one bit. Once they hack it, I will buy it. I welcome the psp 3000 and you haters will too.
Now go work some overtime, lol.

You know nothing about money so don't BS me with that 450 dollars was well spent. I don't use isos, that's just wrong and I have the original systems I emulate so why spend good money again for them.
I'm not hating, I'm disappointed. The difference between the PSP1000 and PSP2000 was great but the difference between the PSP2000 and PSP3000 is a 200 dollar joke I wont cash in on.
You know nothing about my life so STFU you rich money wasting bastard. Why don't you work for a day in your life you mom's basement troll. I actually got a wife and a good home and that comes from hard work not wasting money.

heres a simple solution. DONT BUY IT!!! sony is not making and marketing a new psp for all the CURRENT psp owners. wake the F up. No one is forcing you to buy the newer model, no one is saying it will make your existing model obsolete.
i see numerous people here in the comments advising not to get it, saying they wont bother upgrading since they already own a 1k, 2k etc etc. thats great! keep your system, your all acting like sony is letting you down. i will say it again, there are NOT trying to get all the folk out there who just bought psp slims etc to now go and buy this system. its just another revision.
quoting someone from here
"Confident that the 2000 model was my final PSP investment here they go releasing anh unhackable Slim with a new screen and a mic. They want me to pay another 200 for that? "
sony does not want you to do anything, they already have your money and are happy with that. and if all you do with your hackable system is emulate, then why the hell ***** at an unhackable system, its not like you would be playing ISO's on it right? and also there is no features you obviously want in it to warrant spending the extra money on it.
so my point being to all you complainers. sony is not updating the system for all the people who own one, there adding features they feel would benefit the psp for NEW owners (or those who justify shelling out the cash to buy the latest model psp). The whole point in it being unhackable, well you have your existing model which does ALL THAT, which im sure your completely happy with. Stop complaining about the features that werent included, and obviously wouldnt be (I.E. HDD and second analog). Stop saying sony "wants you to pay" for an upgrade you dont feel is an upgrade.
You dont want it, dont buy it. And STFU in the process.
now.. let the flames begin..

No one is forcing you to "cash in another 200 bucks" to get this updated version. Why are you freaking out about it?
I know im sure as he1l not trying to get everyone against you. Im pointing out that your b1tching and complaining for no good reason.
No one is trying to belittle you, or say anything against you because you dont want to waste your money. That is your opinion.
For your sake i will repeat this. Sony IS NOT TRYING TO MAKE YOU BUY THIS NEW PSP!! They are doing another revision to the unit, perhaps to try and draw new customers, or perhaps because they god damn feel like it. Mabey the old LCD screens they used are no longer getting manufactured and by luck of the draw they have to put a new one in. Who the F knows.
All i know is your b1tching and moaning about a system which you feel is not up to YOUR standards, which left out features YOU felt should be in it.
For reasons stated above and also before on numerous topics. Sony WILL NOT put in another second analog stick. Sony WILL NOT put in a internal HDD. This would be cause for A NEW PSP, not a REVISION!! L2 or R2, common have some sense, all these features you want would make this newer PSP not be backwards compatible with the older versions in terms of new games released. THIS WOULD HURT SONY MORE THAN HELP THEM! Understand some F'in basic economics.
And no one is saying we're "rich bastards". ***** im still on my psp1001 and im loving it, i dont see a need to upgrade to a newer version because it does EVERYTHING I NEED OF IT. If you feel ripped off, gyped, hurt or damaged because Sony is releasing a revision of the PSP, and you feel you shouldnt have to spend your hard earned cash on it. DONT, dont buy it. Simple as that.

Unlike you, I have good social skills and can talk to women. You're immature especially since you want to argue on the internet over an opinion that belongs to me. You definitely are braver behind a computer. You could never say this $hit to my face and walk away in good shape.
Why don't you have a beer you chauvinistic, money wasting idiot. Have something positive to say or move on. Go marry cloudboy if you want a good companion, but don't talk about someone's life you know nothing of you basement troll.
How do you like your LULZ jerk!!

didnt know it could mute itslef and turn the screen off. . .my laptop cant turn its screen off. . .
in my defense my bro bought me this psp back when they were new, and i have long since thrown away any documentation. i dusted it off when i was looking for an easy way to write quick beats and stumbled across a neat little thing called traxxpad. it was then that i started messing with my psp again, and shortly thereafter that i began looking into homebrew and downgraders. luckily, it had been sitting in the closet long enough that the firmware i let it slip into the shadows with was long since cracked.
though i had thrown the manual away long ago.
but seriously is it the bit about the laptop, the speakers, or my lack of manual knowyness that caused you all to vote my previous comment into oblivion lol. . . shame on you all

I've got a US PSP-1001 (w/Spiderman 2), Ceramic White JP PSP-1000, Crisis Core Limited Edition JP PSP-2000 and Felicia Blue JP PSP-2000 and depending on how much better the screen is, I'll probably get this one, too (and succeeding iterations) once it gets hacked or when Sony finally includes features I want into their base firmware.
*gasp* Terribly wasteful of me, I know, but it's my choice if I want to be a wasteful idiot.

as for the internal HDD and the second analog stick. *sigh* . those would not be included in a psp REVISION. key word, REVISION. If an internal HDD were in the works, as well as a second analog stick, those would be features that would constitute a NEW psp, IE psp2 or whatever the hell sony wants to call it.
and for calling me gay for pointing out the faults in your posts, saying im a basement troll etc etc. common bud, quite resorting to insult tactics to belittle me. i dont care what the hell you call me. if it makes you feel bigger as a person great.
all im pointing out is that you have been doing nothing but B1TCHING about this update from the get go. im not trying to take away your opinion, im not saying its wrong. im just pointing out simple facts.
calling me a gay little jobless boy who has no social skillz is just resorting to insult tactics which only makes yourself look like a fool on these boards. yes i admit the wife insult i posted was low and harsh. however saying what you say is completely rediculous. were not 14 anymore.
