The latest version of Sony's PSP multimedia portable is the most competitive yet, with a brighter screen and built-in microphone
Sony PSP 3000
Nearly three years after its original release, the PSP is still going strong. Nearly each month this year the handheld system has been showing remarkable gains in year-over-year sales. In fact, back in August when the PSP-3000 was announced and reported to include significant hardware improvements, the handheld managed to take third place in total units sold. As the PSP-2000 units are undoubtedly phased out in the coming months, the PSP-3000 will take its place as the one and only PSP, but we aren't convinced that the latest PSP is, in fact, the greatest.
Sony's recent PSP-3000 upgrade had one major feature change among its other small updates: the brighter, increased contrast and wider color gamut screen (above: old top, new bottom). The more vivid display takes more power overall, but the rest of the PSP's components are now using less power, giving battery life a net change of zero, which is good. But the interlacing issues which results in visible jagged lines and scan lines on motion? Well, it's there, but it's not that bad. Here's what you should know before you buy a PSP 3000.
