|  | | PlayStation Portable - Now with Included Microphone and Brighter Screen The latest Playstation Portable revision, the PSP-3000, has everything the older PSPs had but now includes a built-in microphone, which lets you take advantage of voice features in some games as well as the PSP's built-in Skype functionality without having to use a headset. The new PSP-3000 also includes an improved anti-reflective screen that offers higher contrast and clearer visibility in well-lit places and can even be used outdoors. A Full Entertainment System in Your Hands The PSP was designed to handle all varieties of applications and entertainment -- music, video, communication, wireless networking, and, of course, gaming. Users will enjoy top-notch 3D games with high-quality, full-motion video, and high-fidelity audio. The 4.3-inch wide screen display is bright and beautiful, and works well under many different lighting conditions. If you prefer, you can also connect your PSP to your TV. The PSP utilizes the Universal Media Disc (UMD) for a storage medium, each of which holds 1.8 GB of data. Hundred of Games to Choose From The PSP gaming library is hundreds of titles strong and covers a wide variety of genres. Whether you are seeking the hard hits of football or the strategy of a puzzle game, there's sure to be many games for you. The PSP is capable of graphics quality that is comparable to the PlayStation 2, but in a pocket-sized package that you can take wherever you go. Watch Movies and Videos On The Go When you just want to sit back and enjoy a movie on a long plane trip, the PSP has you covered. The PSP offers two options to do this: you can either purchase full-length movies and TV shows on UMD, or you can download videos onto your computer and transfer them on a Memory Stick Duo for playing on your PSP. Included in the package is the movie National Treasure 2 on UMD. You can also watch recorded television content downloaded to a Memory Stick Duo with the TiVo-To-Go service. (Please note that this requires $24.95 fee, you must have a TiVo Series2 connected to your home network.) Listen to Your Music Collection Anywhere With the ability to play MP3, WAV, WMA, ATRAC3+, and MP4 files, you can easily use your PSP as an audio player. Simply place your music on a Memory Stick Duo, and you can navigate your collection using the PSP's XMB (XrossMediaBar) to select your song to play. 
UMD discs can hold 1.8 GB for epic games and full-length movies. View larger. | Show and Share Photos With Your Friends With the PSP, you can show a slideshow of your photo collection with your friends by simply placing them on a Memory Stick Duo and accessing them via PSP's XMB. Additionally, you can beam photos wirelessly to friends who also have a PSP. 
Download content from the PlayStation Store onto the PSP. View larger. | Built-in WiFi allows for Internet Browsing and Online Gaming With built-in WiFi, you can access the Internet from any accessible hotspot. Once connected, you can surf the Web and download exclusive demos and content for your PSP from the PlayStation Store. The WiFi also allows you to battle other gamers, both over the Internet and in your local vicinity. Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters Game Included With this Limited Edition set, you'll get to play Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters right out of the box. A combination of a platformer and shooter, Size Matters delivers the over-the-top humor and fun that the series has come to be known for. As is Ratchet and Clank's hallmark, the game features large cache of weapons, each of which can be upgraded to become larger and stronger. It's the sheer wackiness of the weapons that makes the game so much fun: among the many weapons at your disposal, you'll have the option of wielding a shotgun, a pistol that shoots killer bees, and a gun that shoots out robots. The game makes full use of the PSP hardware and incorporates multiple lighting and particle effects without any slowdown in gameplay. With this Limited Edition Entertainment Pack, you won't be lacking in entertainment options when you're on the run. In fact, you might actually start looking forward to your long commute. What's in the Box: PSP-3000, Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters UMD game, National Treasure 2 UMD movie, 1GB Memory Stick Duo, PlayStation Network game download voucher for echochrome.

The Perfect ANYTIME Gift January 8, 2009 Oceanman (Virginia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The all new slimmer PSP 3000 comes in with a couple of new upgrades over the 2000 model. Primarily for the Skype functionality, a microphone is onboard along with a reduced glare 4.3" screen. As far as glare reduction goes, I did not see that much of a difference over the PSP 2000. Its a given that fingerprints will still be a continued problem for the PSP line. Thankfully, the age old problem of ghosting has yet to appear on my new PSP 3000. One of the sweeter features now is an upgraded (AV) video output support. Owners can now operate their systems with regular (NON HD) TV. I suggest buyers pick up a good add on composite or component cable. With the usual collection of great games, improved graphics is a major plus.
As with all previous models, control buttons layout are very much like the classic Play Station. One area of concern is that load times for the UMD (Universal Media Disc) seemed to drag a bit. Its a given that purchasing the core pak which includes the proprietary MS Duo Card is more cost effective in the end. Its obvious that Sony missed the boat when it went with its own proprietary format instead of the more widely used and less costly SD standard.
Even though Wi-fi capable, the unit is outfitted with possibly the slowest version (802.11b) on the planet. It powers up via a 5 volt ac adapter or USB. Video playback is great as long as you copy your favorites on the memory stick Duo Card. Going any other way is definitely a slow dragged out process. When it comes to television, Sony's own version of Slingbox allows for free tv viewing. This PSP won't get confused with your IPOD anytime soon but music play is generally good. Another added feature is that it will even support music art. If one is going to display photos on the PSP I strongly suggest compressing your files. Photo display can be slide show or singles.
Of note, the PSP is also a web browser. However, its hit and miss for flash. Streaming internet radio via Shoutcast is a freebie. PSP offers a regular schedule of firmware updates. As with the earlier editions, via a network or the internet the unit can pick up audio, video and photo files that are stored on a PS3. I strongly suggest spending the bucks to purchase a protective case.
Even with its minor flaws, the PSP 3000 still brings it on. I would definitely recommend this model as a gift to one's self much less a gift to others.
PSP 3000, JUST GREAT!! January 7, 2009 Jose E. P. Lozano 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
THE SCREEN IS AMAZING, A LITTLE BIT BIGER AND BRIGHTER, LOADING UMD'S IS FASTER AS WELL, I JUST THINK THAT SONY CAN IMPROVE THE PSP DESIGN A LOT...
PSP 3000 January 7, 2009 V. Bhe 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The PSP 3000 is a very good product so far. The silver finish prevents the fingerprints you normally see on the piano black version. My only gripe so far is that this current version can't be hacked like the older PSPs. There is shadowing with fast moving pictures, like the tennis ball in Virtua Tennis.
Very good buy. January 7, 2009 Luis (Miami, FL) I owned the PSP Slim 2000 (prior Version) and compared to this new one there is not much of a difference other that a a built in microphone. Any other update is BS, there is no noticeable difference between models. Going back to the micropone, this is why I upgraded since I use the Skype feature. Now you don't need to buy the microphone/headphones unit that tangles up and is annoying and uncomfortable. You can now just hold up the PSP to you ear and talk. That works for me. Ohh, also my PSP 2000 was the Ice silver finish, well this flat grey finish on the new one is ugly and the plastic makes it look cheap compared to the old one. If you need the microphone get it if not just get the old 2000 version and save some $$$. If Sony really wanted to upgrade the PSP they should make it touch screen so that it would be easier to type, but I still love this gadget.
