Official Press Release
While inheriting the basic design and functionality of the current “slim and light” PSP, the image quality on the new LCD screen is dramatically enhanced, and a built-in microphone is added to meet the PSP users’ demand to enjoy games and content with voice input functionality without the use of a separate microphone.

Offering the highest-level contrast ratio, response time, and wider color gamut possible on a portable LCD screen, the new PSP is capable of displaying movies and photos in more natural and vibrant colors on its high resolution 4.3 inch wide screen. The new LCD screen adopts an anti-reflection technology, which enables users to see the screen more clearly in well-lit places, even when used outdoors. The built-in microphone will allow users to easily enjoy games that utilize a microphone, as well as Skype� and other communication tools. Through these additional and upgraded features, not only will the PSP user experience improve, but content creators also will have more flexibility to develop creative, entertainment content for the new PSP.

Further expanding PSP’s entertainment capabilities, the video-out port is also expanded to output gameplay in interlace format, which will allow new PSP users to enjoy games on non-progressive TVs by using separately sold cables. With the current “slim and light” PSP, games can be displayed on progressive TVs only.

In addition to the basic “Piano Black” color, the new PSP will also come in “Pearl White” and “Mystic Silver”*4 to meet variety of lifestyle and preference of all ages.

    Actually there’s several other bundles.. In Japan, the 3 exclusives are
    The Limited Edition Dissidia: Final Fantasy Bundle, Gundam vs Gundam Bundle and Patapon 2 Bundle.

    Japan gets all the best gaming stuff =___=

    @ TheEdge: Really? That’s cool. Where’d you hear this?

  5. Errol on September 15th, 2008 4:40 am

    would rather stick with the psp-2000

    this is because, currently there is no mod for this model, hence, you will need to get games from PSN (Playstation Network) and thru UMD’s which is a bit expensive.

    Luving my GoW (God of War) Bundle.. weeeeeeeee

    @GM T
    the retraction is on Joystiq, Kotaku, Engadget and several other gadget sites.

    @Errol
    There’s no mod because no one has donated a PSP-3000 to dark-alex to tinker with it yet.

    Kung wala ak balak bumili ng game, wag ka mag PSP-3000 at manatili kang pirata na walang pakialam sa mga developers.

  18. odey on November 19th, 2008 10:41 am

  21. SonyBOY on November 23rd, 2008 9:27 pm

    panget naman kung yun lang ang improvements. saka stupid yung idea na nd malaro yung iso games. Yun nga yung reason kung bakit tinangkilik ng publiko ang PSP in the first place eh.

  22. sylv3rblade on November 23rd, 2008 11:37 pm

    so.. stupid na bayaran ang mga gumagawa ng games para sa psp? aus yan
