PSP 3000 will only be available bundled with software in Europe

Those of you looking to upgrade your existing PSP to a PSP 3000 this October, prepare yourself - the console will only be available to buy in a package bundled with software.

Speaking to uk.playstation.com SCEE President David Reeves broke the news that those of you looking to pick one up at launch will be forced to buy some software with it.

"We're going to introduce PSP-3000 in October, and this will be sold initially as part of a bundle, with a piece of software. During this period, PSP-2000 will remain as the base PSP model."

I highly doubt this will be $400+ in NA.

aiphanes5818d ago

The price will be the same as the PSP-2000...The PSP2000 will be discontinued as of now...and in october the PSP3000 will be released.

Darkiewonder5818d ago

Yes for North America but for Europe it's bundles only unless they plan to make an official statement [if there isn't one] about this.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI5818d ago

thank god, thanks for info, I was planning on picking one up soon too.

wait; "FIFA 09, Buzz! Master Quiz or Harry Potter"?
Oh God, you could of at least given GoW:CoO with it, sigh. Guess I'll take Buzz.

In October I will have a new PSP! YAY!

ultimate9205818d ago

Do you even care about the new model?

I sure as hell don't, since I have the 1000 model and was pissed that a new model was coming up...

Enjoy for those that are planning on buying the 3000, I'll stick with the original, know that at least I'm okay with it and don't regret buying it...

Max Power5818d ago

i also have the 1000 series, and i am interested in the 3000, but i think i would only get it if something happened to my 1000. I think i am just gunna stick on to the 1000 until it dies an get a new one, or wait until the psp2 comes along.

Sitdown5818d ago

because I can take advantage of my protection plan and get it without paying anything extra. I wonder if the new screen will have anything to do with bluray movie's being streamed or watched on the psp anytime in the future. Speaking of the future......does anybody know if Home will have any functionality on the psp?

badz1495818d ago

I already have 2 PSP-1000(black&White) but I still want a PSP-2000! I played my friend's PSP slim and that really made me want it so badly! then this PSP-3000 announcement came to surface, which made me thinking twice! it's going to be released this october, right? I think I can wait.

ps: Dark Alex will be all over this! I bet he's giggling and mumbling waiting for this new PSP to come! he already has the 'key' for 1000 and 2000 firmly in his plam and he'll never let 3000 stay 'unharmed', if you know what I mean!

Homicide5818d ago

I have a PSP-2000, and the new screen sounds pretty awesome. I'm buying one and selling my slim.

I'd consider buying one if they had added a second analog stick, would have been perfect for the new resistance game, its going to be FPS right?

LossTheEarthbreaker5818d ago

It's third-person, actually.

And from what I've seen, the game looks damn easy because you basically aim by keeping enemies in a giant box in the middle of the screen.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 8h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 8h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 7h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.

Review: Jeanne d'Arc - Long Awaited Strategy RPG Remains Divine | Push Square

Khayl Adam: "With the release of the game for PS5 and PS4, which features up-rendered graphics, quality-of-life features like rewind and quick save, and custom video filters, there is now no excuse not to play what has rightfully become something of a cult classic. Level-5's take on the historical Hundred Years War that raged between the kingdoms of England and France in the 15th century is a creative one, and we're glad to report that the wait has been worth it."
