PlayStation LifeStyle decided to take a look at what the specific differences are in the Updated Slim PSP-3000 model. There may be more changes than you are hearing about…
Comparing the specifications provided by SCEA on the new PSP-3000 with the specifications provided back when the PSP-2000 was announced, PlayStation LifeStyle was able to spot a few key differences. They have listed the differences in a table showing that the greatly improved LCD screen and microphone aren't the only changes.
It also appears there are differences in:
- Weight
- Button configuration
- Video output capability
The PSP was ambition personified, so much so that it’s kinda wild to look back and realise what exactly Sony cooked up in 2004.
I still play my PSP. Sadly the UMD drive has stopped working, but I modded it to still be able to play my games (and then some). Such a great little portable.
The game looks like fun and here is the announcement trailer.
2025 cloud gaming trends are looking good, but it’s not all smooth yet. We break down what’s working, what’s not, and what comes next.
As someone who has been gaming nearly as long as gaming has been around (since the early 70's), you'd think I'd be against this. Having grown up with all the major platforms and the whole notion of physical ownership... but I'm not. i embrace this as it is a revolutionary convenience. And one i know for a fact many (especially here) have not even given the fair chance to use. I get it... i was there too. But now i have a new outlook on it. It really is a hell of an option if you just want to play with no commitments. By no means am i saying this should replace traditional gaming, its an option. And one that people should look at optimistically as a way to compliment traditional gaming. There is room for both to thrive.
I tend to use streaming on new games in GamePass. To see if I like the game. If I do, I'll download it for a better experience. It's so convenient & useful.
Tagged as a rumor because it's not announced to be 33% lighter. As it stands this is a typo on the page. The slim was 33% lighter than the fat. This is the same core design as the slim. So unless they changed the battery design or something... i dunno.
Plus, others hadn't discussed the new interlace video format output.
So maybe this shouldn't be tagged as a rumor.
SCEA never updated the playstation.com page to include the new weight. so the 33% change in weight is incorrect. However, the news of button labeling changes and added video output interlace support is correct
This is not breaking news. lol
Please use the original title.
That's going to be pretty crazy, the Slim already feels flimsy compared to the original PSP. I guess this one is going to be so light you won't even notice it in your hand.
I'll rather wait for microsft hand held with way more features and better graphics
