Pink PSP 3000

The Current Release of the PSP

The pink PSP 3000 does not yet exist as a colour option. It looks like it will be a while before Sony decide to release a pink PSP 3000 because there has been no mention of releasing it in their home market in Japan where new colours normally hit the streets first.

In this section we give you some information about the PSP 3000 - with luck we will see a pink PSP 3000 sometime next year. If you are looking for a pink PSP then you will need to opt for one of the existing models, such as the pink PSP Slim & Lite.

What has changed with the PSP 3000?

First lets start with what has stayed the same... The layout of buttons and switches on the PSP 3000 remains almost exactly the same as on the previous version. There are a few tweaks to the look and feel in terms of visual design. For example, the black version remains a gloss finish whereas the silver and white PSP 3000 models have a matt finish that reduces smearing and fingerprint marking. The designers have also make some subtle changes to the physical shape of the product by softening some of the edges and moving the logos around, but these are fairly cosmetic differences really.

Moving on to the improvements... The screen quality has been improved beyond recognition by improving the contrast ratio of the PSP 3000 screen by five times its original capability. Alongside this anti-reflection and screen brightness had been significantly improved.

The Sony engineers have also improved the response time for the LCD screen by around two times the speed which should make a significant difference in terms of getting rid of 'ghosting' type effects or blurring/smearing effects during video play back or gaming sessions. This combination of factors resulted in a playing experience well beyond the previous generations of the Playstation Portable.

Other new features for the PSP 3000 included a built in microphone which enables people to use services like Skype when playing games. TV output was also improved on the PSP 3000.

There were also concerns that the PSP 3000 would draw a lot more power as a result of the brighter screen which would cause a shorter battery life. The message coming from Sony is that the battery life for the PSP 3000 is much the same as the previous PSP because of the way in which they have re-engineered some of the components.

Pink PSP 3000 - Our Conclusion

Although the pink PSP 3000 is not a reality yet our thoughts are that improving the screen brightness and overall performance of the LCD display have been a great step forward for the PSP and we would love to see Sony release a Pink PSP 3000.
