PSP 2001 vs PSP 3000 - The Comparison

Kotaku have tracked down a comparison held between the PSP 2001 and PSP 3000. Now the original site was in a foreign language (my ignorance narrows it down to Taiwanese or Klingon) so the information will be presented here in pictures. And that's all we need really, isn't it? The feature list for the new version is a little thin.

[pwnsause]

ok, that LCD screen is the main reason why im going to get a new PSP, SOLD!

[NovusTerminus]

The screen is nice. I will prolly get me the 3000 cause with that screen I can play games outside allot easier.

[JoySticksFTW]

...I don't know if I can resist.

I found the tiniest of scratches in the screen of my PSP just yesterday. It's really not a big deal, but it's still bugging the crap out of me!

And then reports of this show up, with it's pretty screen, and built-in microphone...

I'll probably crack and get one :P

[JUSTICEFORALL]

sounds like your making it a bis deal of it, so does mine one tiny scratch and i still play it doesnt bother me

[JoySticksFTW]

Ok. let's dance, Troll

But before you jump into the ring with me, you must learn some basic English and grammar

This stuff right here...

"sounds like your making it a bis deal of it, so does mine one tiny scratch and i still play it doesnt bother me"

... doesn't cut it.

Besides, you know how it is when you know that new model tv, ipod, iphone, video game console sku, etc is right around the corner...

You makes excuses to own it. At least I do, but that's just me.

[darkshiz]

To many games coming out to get that PSP.

I wish I've never bought my launch PSP and waiting for this one. *Drools*

I put my launch PSP for good use for all these years so it's ok.

[BrunoM]

same here got a day 1 psp .. mai sell that one and get my self a new one .. can sell the day one for as much as the new one .. lets just say my day one is a lil bit special ..

[Ben1054]

-6months psp :) got it from a site called nuplayer but sony sued them :).
anyway, the screen looks much better, don't think ill buy it though

[Proxy]

Hmmmmm....

[rosebowl23]

the difference is pretty big. this is awesome. definitely gona buy myself another PSP

[Lou-Cipher]

I Agree

I have always been on the edge of buying one, but now I think it is time.

[SpecialSauce]

that is sexy!

[slave2Dcontroller]

Sony just released the 2001 which i ran out and bought less than a year ago and now another new and improves is set to hit. No doubt I'm trading in my 2001 for the 3000 but damn Sony.... Slow it down a little.

[Surviver]

Please respond.
Because other than Minor tweaks.
Brighter / More colorful screen
and A Microphone.

The differences are....

[Chubear]

They're not about making initial owners of eariler products feel regretful or feel they have a totally outdated machine. They just do great minor updates for the newcomers but they don't end up getting a totally different machine than the rest.

Not like others that have no issues in saying to their fanbase "hey, it's a hell of a lot better than yours so deal with it and go buy the new one."

[sandhawk]

OHH MAN SONY WHY DO U HAVE TO BRING UP NEW THINGS ALL THE TIME FIRST I HAD THE ORIGNAL PSP AND I SOLD IT TO GET THE SLIM 1 NOW U BRING US THIS PLEASE SAVE UR UPDATES FOR THE REAL NEXT PSP NOW I HAVE TO FIND OUT AWAY TO SELL THE SLIM TO GET THIS ( PSN: KILLZOONEER GAMERTAGE: SOULGRA3ER )CARE TO ADD ME SO I CAN BEAT U GUYS IN WARHAWK

[thereapersson]

It's almost like a case of ADD, where they have all these new ideas, and always manage to come out with stuff faster than the previous iteration could last in the market.

[I LOVE my xbox]

I would own you in Warhawk. 1v1 any day.

[B-Rein]

I hope the pricing is around £100, im sellin my psp jus to get this

[Droid]

Looks like Sony ripped-off a lot of early adopters. What else is new.

[PirateThom]

Yeah, damn, I wish they kept the same screen and not offered this better quality one as an option.

[pwnsause]

shouldnt the same be said with Apple and nintendo when they release their own updated versions of the ipod and the DS like every year? lolololololololol fail.

[na2ru1]

it didnt overheat in the 1st place

XBOX 360. go die.

[Droid]

emo, go cut yourself

[pwnsause]

Sounds like Droid has been listening to too much SImple Plan/Linkin Park Lately.

[newneto]

This will be my third PSP.

[shelbygt33]

Why do you need 3 PSPs? Or, did you sell off the other ones?

For me, the changes don't warrant me spending any money above and beyond what I bought my psp-2000 for.

[newneto]

In fact I sold the 1st and will sell my 2nd.

[WheetosGuy360]

I wonder what effect it will have on the battery ? hoefully none!

[themyk]

just so long as i can still hmmgmgmghd the battery.

[LossTheEarthbreaker]

What did you just say and what does that mean?

[GamerMan]

Until I see if any new information comes out on it. I have the PSP Slim right now and its great... the screen on this new one is great but no other real benefit to me to purchase it.

Normally when new firmaware comes out and new features is when you can tell if there is a any real difference.

hmm so wait and see for me.

[whoelse]

Wow i wasn't expecting such a large improvement in the screen. Many it reall is time to sell my PSP 1000!

[mirroredderorrim]

I'll buy it. ;-)

[DoctorXpro]

should be 1.3

[mirroredderorrim]

3000 is like the SKU model number. Think of it as a series line.

[Homicide]

That's what I wanted, the anti glare thing. It totally sucks that there is bunch of glare on my slim. Hope they compare the two with games and in the dark. Still, I'm buying one.

[IaMs12]

i am tempted to invest in one but im afraid by the time this comes out the PSP "2" will be right around the corner and be a waste when i could get a better one just for a few months later... that or the Xbox portable will come no matter what i get the other will be better IMO LOL

[zonetrooper5]

The screen looks so much better than my Slim PSP, damn it and the anti glare also helps really tempted to get this though.

[ScottEFresh]

Just picked up a fat one off ebay for a great price. Lovin the PSP system. Won't be getting the new 3000 but great to see they are making some needed improvements.

[_Q_]

I ddnt think it would be that drastic of a difference. I just got one in febuary

[lewis]

crap.

[trancefreak]

is this pic legit on the old psp just looks like high contrast on the original overlay lol.

if and when it comes to the US im getting the psp 3000. i wish sony would release a remote play unit that would play all ps3 games and media just as a remote only with dualshock 3 and a screen.

[Silvia007]

I could use another PSP.

[AIi_The_Brit]

look at the difference

amazing

i sold my original launch psp becuase at first you couldnt do as much with it with no PS3 and all

but now i think il get a PSP 3000

[gersh]

Is it possible that they might make another one like PSP2?
If so I'm saving my money.

[Cynjo]

I Picked up a diet PSP on ebay with two games and a 4gb mem card for $154 so I'm covered for the foreseeable future!*sarcasm alert* 3000 is so damn temping with all of its 16,770,000 colors goodness that I'll probably end up getting one and selling my current slim soon!!! Wow...The iphone 3g and now a psp 3...when will the fun ever end?

Hopefully never as I'm enjoying buying the same gadgets with minimal enhancements....oh happy days!

[likedamaster]

Where the heck is that 2nd analog stick?????????????????? What the ...! We've been waiting on that forever! No more excuses Sony, and stop giving us a minor feature and charging us 200 all over again!!!!!!! I won't be getting another one till it has 2 analogs, a built in hard drive and it could do everything an iphone can!
