Featuring a built-in microphone, a new, brighter LCD screen and Skype out of the box, the PSP-3000 is expected to ship to Europe in October.

Visually, the new PSP 3000 is nearly identical to previous iterations.

It will ship with eight bundles, with pack-ins featuring Harry Potter, Buzz Master Quiz and more. Each bundle will be priced at 199 Euros.

Cool, I'm glad in a way that I have no real incentive to buy this. The mic would never get used and I dare say steps have been taken to make it Homebrew-proof.

If this had some awesome new features it would have appealed instantly to my impulsive side, but as it stands I can keep my money!

If they make homebrew able to play on it I'll buy it.
I like the anti-glare screen because playing outdoors has always been a problem with the PSP.
The brighter, higher contrast screen is also really cool.

I hope they fixed the crappy video out at least a little.. Needing a plugin just to play without progressive scan and in full screen is stupid.

Let me guess:
Pandora won't work > Downgrading won't be possible > so no Homebrew (at least for a while hehe)

Eh, I'll buy it.I generally early adopt.

no ram or video enhancements? sony is disappointing me fast.

This "brighter screen" had better fix the terrible ghosting.

Cool, but just a built-in mic and brighter screen? hmm. I'm assuming they added better security to prevent homebrew. But knowing Dark_Alex, he'll have it cracked and running homebrew before Christmas.
