Sony PSP 2000 Slim Vs PSP 3000 – Review
The recently released Sony PSP Slim 3000 has caused quite a controversy among new PSP owners who purchased their Sony PSP Slim 2000 units within the last few months. It’s not even been a full year since Sony released the PSP Slim 2000, using its biggest feature being the ability to connect to a TV through AV output. Many are arguing that Sony’s latest addition to its handheld family shouldn’t even be considered an upgrade of the current model. Let’s take a deeper look into the features of the PSP 3000.
The 3000 was unveiled in the Leipzig gaming conference last week. The unit has the exact same dimensions as its counterpart, the Slim 2000. However, there were a few upgrades. Sony gave the PSP 3000 a brand new anti-glare screen, which is designed to make playing the PSP while outside a little more bearable. This new LCD screen also features a broader color scheme than the older model, which makes up about a brighter, more vibrant picture. In addition to this new screen, Sony added a built in microphone to the 3000, that will allow many people who have use of WiFi hotspots peppered through-out a sizable city to utilize the PSP like a phone-like device using the built in Skype software.
Along with these hardware improvements, the Slim 3000 also includes a few cosmetic improvements as well. The ‘HOME’ button no longer exists, as it has been replaced with a PSN button. It functions exactly the same as that old button, but rather has the Playstation logo instead of the word ‘HOME’. Also, the brushed aluminum ring which was featured on the PSP Fat, as it has become known, and the PSP Slim has been replaced with a far more polished and thinner chrome ring. The perimeters of the PSP 3000 have also been smoothed a bit in order that it feels more comfortable while holding it inside your hand.
Sony PSP 3000 will be available this October, featuring the colors Piano Black and Mystic Silver. All in all, if you’re already a proud PSP 2000 Slim owner, you might want to skip this upgrade as the anti-glare screen is only a major upgrade if you find yourself playing a great deal while outside. However, if you’re searching to purchase a PSP, the 3000 is the way to go.
