PSP 3000
I have yet to mention the PSP 3000 for a couple of reasons. 1) It isn’t that big of a deal. And 2) It isn’t that big of a deal.
What the PSP 3000 does bring is a brighter and more crisp screen, an onboard microphone, a PS button (for other-than-Sony-fanboys, think of this as the “Jewel” button), a thinner and lighter profile, and um, that’s about it. No new form factor. No playing of holographic games yet. There’s nothing 3000 about it.
What the PSP 3000 also seems to have snuck in is decreased battery life and a possible higher price. These are pretty substantial rumors at this point, but if realized it would appear that Sony is taking two steps backwards to take one step forward.
The PSP 3000 will ship in Europe on October 15th in a game bundle for £149.99 and in the UK on October 17th at €199. It will drop in Japan in between the European launches on October 16th for 19800 YEN .
The US, Australia, and the rest of the world has yet to get any official announcement of pricing or street dates.

I’m a nintendo nerd and supporter through and through, and despise sony.
Despite that, I’m impressed on the way they built it.
But something I’d like to ask Sony AND Nintendo,
How about better durabilty? Children from about 5 to 11 love the PSP and the DS…but…they are delicate.
How about some shock absorbing metal?
Eh. Though, once again, the design is a temptress….er, tempter.
