PSP 3000 Screenshots Comparison

[that1guywiththeface]

Okay, why does Sony not understand one of the main issues this system has: no second analog stick. It isn't held back by size. Never really was to begin with (except for the overcomplexity of the UMD drawer, it breaks too easily when dropped in the 1000 model). It isn't held back by a bad screen (of the handhelds, the PSP has both the largest and brightest). It isn't held back by bad graphics (any game that has bad graphics is the damn developers fault, look at CC, GoW:CoC, R&C:SM, etc). It isn't held back by it's clockspeed or cpu (its definitely the fastest of any handheld, except maybe the iphone). It isn't held back by lack of features (internet, phone service, audio and video codecs, and loads of features accessible through hacking such as an ISO loader, a high quality ps1 emu, emulators for nearly every retro console, an ebook reader, and the list goes on. The DS has absolutely nothing except for games, and a few decent emulators accessible by hacking. The iphone is the only competitor for features). It isn't held back by price.

HOWEVER, it is held back by camera issues for games like Monster Hunter (tolerable, but could be much better), and the great difficulty of creating a quality FPS due to control issues (rarely tolerable).

Instead of releasing all of these models with decreased size and a better screen, they should just add the damned analog stick!!

i am a slim owner and i will buy this.. the screen alone to me is worth it. and yes i too will be buying the sweet pandora handheld to accomidate my gp2x

[wiggy fuzz]

if it feels as cheep and plasticky as the psp 2000, then i think i'll pass...

unless there's a nice special edition that catches my eye, of course

[osgeld]

is this really a fair comparison?

the psp on top is clearly in more direct lighting, theres much much much more glare on the plastic elements showing that + its not in a direct line of sight with the camera, tilt your psp 15 degrees and see how pathetic it looks

where as the new one is obiously shaded by whoever is taking the photo (less direct light on the unit) and the camera is being pointed directly at the screen as a player would look at it

i bet if the 2 units were reversed you all would not be as impressed as you seem to be

altho i will admit, there is a noticeable difference, i just call bull on this bad comparison

Indeed it's nice.

Okay, why does

An second analog stick of course is something needed... but Sony will not release it for PSP since it will easily break game compatibility with PSP-1000 and PSP-2000... and a lot of owners of older PSP models will not buy another PSP-3000,4000,etc... Surely i wont, maybe when my PSP-1000 die.

Until the release of a PSP2 probably changes will be "minor" things like better screen quality, batery life, D-pad,etc...

Pretty cool. I still don't see a good enough reason to ditch my PSP-1000 for this. And whoever said it earlier, when I held the PSP-2000, it did feel really cheap compared to the original model.

I think that the PSP-2000 and 3000 are able to do more in the fields of emulating consoles, etc.

Eventually, I think it will show.

I'll just wait till someone mods the psp3000 screen into a psp2000

Alot of sites sell replacement screens, i would simply buy a psp 3k, screen and put it in a normal psp slim. for 50$
And modding the screen probably wouldnt be to hard.

[jarshale]

its not just the screen though. the outside is glare resistant also
