Psp - 3000

Though an old new on internet but is new to me and might be for you as well:

While searching for PSP Slim and enhancements I came accross PSP-3000 reference turns up on Sony’s website, don’t get too excited - Engadget

The blog was published on March 28.Which says that sony is all set to release a new PSP -3000 soon.

Rumours reports PSP 3000 to have 2G capabities and, more powerfull CPU, and touch screen interface, in-built MIC & PS3 style buttons

If true; Dunno how far Sony is with it’s launch and price.

Comments/Thoughts ?

i do not believe in this

I’m calling bull simply because PSP-3000 is a stupid name.

^^ Hmm might be!!
PSPChina.net and other similar forums are full with this news and it’s update. Someone calling it as 3000 some as 2100.

But the news can’t be ignored even.

PSP 3000 wd indeed be the Series Name if Sony decides to redesign the psp.
1000 was the fat psp and slim’s series is 2000.

And quite frankly, if Sony really wants to overhaul the 50 million sales figure of Nintendo DS, it ll have to redesign the psp and introduce the touch screen.
A possibility cannot be denied but its too soon and wd be a bolt for the ppl who recently got their slim psp.

But having said that, the 3000 series wont come out anytime soon. So ppl neednt worry abt their slim psp.
Surely they mst be thinking of getting some way out of the pandora mess wenever they get the 3000 series psp out.

it will eventually happen but i doubt whether it will happen any time soon

Sounds too good… to be true… :stuck_out_tongue:

My guess is some time in early 2009.
As Sony knows from PSP Slim 2000 it can make some more $$ before launching any new hardware.

PSP 3000 wd indeed be the Series Name if Sony decides to redesign the psp. 1000 was the fat psp and slim’s series is 2000

Well, I’m glad that’s not the common name then. Also, any new features that don’t facilitate gaming are just a waste of time and money.

I hope they are going to enhance CPU core, increase inbuilt RAM so that heavier game can load faster and more save game space & not the least a more juicy Battery.

A significant update could be a CPU core running @700Mhz so that it can beat iphone in performance aspect.

dont know about the PSP 3000 but i am sure sony is gearing up for something new in regards with PSP

Dude but one thing is for sure now every potential PSP Slim buyer is skeptical in buying PSP because of this rumour

There have been rumours of super mega updates to the PSP’s design and functionality since it launched. By now, people should’ve learned otherwise.

I need PSP with xvid support…SONY do you hear me!!!

yea Xvid should be there…

This is the least least you should expect from sony.
Dude update ur Slim with latest M33 CFW and you will be able to play xvid.

PSP3k battery:

Originally, it was believed that the battery life of the PSP 3000 would be worse than the original, but Gamespot has learned from Sony that it will actually be the same (about 4 to 6 hours for games and about 4 to 5 hours for UMD videos). While the new screen does require more power, Sony has compensated by reducing the power draw of other components. The weird thing here is that Sony originally suggested that re-releasing the discontinued PSP extended battery pack was the solution. Is there some confusion here or did they just reverse ground?
