I’ve been a PSP fan pretty much from the very beginning, but not because of the mobile gaming. I love it because it promised to be a full-on multimedia experience in your pocket… and delivered on that promise. Now, I have the new PSP-3000 in my hot little hands.

Heart-pounding game play and mobile entertainment now fit into smaller pockets. The latest PSP handheld system is 19% thinner and 33% lighter than the previous model, with twice the memory—now 64MB—for faster loading times. The PlayStation Portable Core Unit features an AC power cord, AC adapter and a smaller, more efficient battery pack that lasts up to six hours. Featuring 64MB of internal system memory and a dedicated PSP CPU running at up to 333MHz, the PSP has the horsepower you need for an unmatched gaming experience. The 4.3″ LCD screen sports a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, 480 x 272 pixel resolution, and 16.7 million colors for graphics that come alive on the screen.

One of the things I love about Sony is that they provide regular firmware updates for their gaming systems, including the PSP. When I received my PSP-2000, it was great. I loved it quite a lot, even though I didn’t use it as much as I thought it would. I ended up using my iPhone more than that. I enjoy watching video on my PSP when I travel though.

The first thing I noticed when I unboxed the new PSP-3000 was the fact that it is even lighter and thinner than my last one. It’s a noticeable difference! I had to compare between the two systems, of course.

The mic is now built into the new PSP-3000. The screen is different, and response time is a bit faster. There are some interlacing issues, but Sony hasn’t come forward to say there’s a problem. They consider it as a feature, due to the fact the response time has increased so much. I personally noticed the interlacing, yes, but it didn’t even bother me.

The colors are much crisper and cleaner with the PSP-3000. The “home” button has been replaced with one that looks more like the PlayStation logo. The buttons and keys all seem to flow better, and work much better than the old ones.

Overall, I have to hand it to Sony once again. They promised improvements… and they have definitely delivered.
