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.

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

@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.

lelz inde ikaw yung pinapatamaan ko *points to koki* pero it’s good to know that you’ll be supporting devs for their hardwork.
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.
