Well the news from the GC yesterday confirmed all the rumors of the past weeks for the PSP 3000 is now officially coming to market this fall. This may be exciting to some but to others who just may have purchased Sony’s latest version of the PSP which was only released a year ago to be quite upsetting! Seriously Sony come on, it’s nice that you want to keep imrpoving your machine and want to add all these cool features into it. A 3rd version of the same machine? Does this mean that at this time next year we can expect the PSP 4000?
Now don’t get me wrong I love all the features that they have stuffed into the PSP Lite. That was a great and much needed update. Two years in a row though? That’s kind of ruff on us mobile gamers that always need to have the latest and greatest gadgets. Why didn’t you give the PSP Lite some time to grow it’s been selling very well since the release.
Oh well too late now Sony announced yet another new version of the PSP and I must say I am looking forward to seeing a new one hands on to see how much of difference the new screen technology will make. Also the inclusion of a microphone only adds fuel to the fire that Sony is itching to have the PSP enter the mobile phone market. Only a matter of time now before we start recieving phone calls while we are playing on our PSP.
The other last bit of news on the PSP 3000 is the fact that it will have a bundle package that will include the same pricing structure as the PSP 2000 plus the new Ratchet and Clank game also it will come in three colors the Piano Black, Pearl White, and Mystic Silver. The home button has also been replace with a PS button although no new function has been reported for the new button.
The PSP 3000 in silver coming on October 14th, 2008. Will you be getting one?
Here is a video clip of the GC announcement for the release of the PSP 3000.
