Sony Computer Entertainment has announced the incoming of the new and improved PSP-3000. The PSP was first released in North America in 2005. It has sold approximately 41 million units since, and sales are still growing.
The PSP is a game machine with optical drive, a good sized screen, WiFi, Internet and other multimedia capabilities, and the ability to connect with other PSP's and the Playstation 3. Recently, about a year ago, PSP-2000 was launched with the "Slim and Light" concept. The weight reduced,while gaining USB charging, composite TV output, a brighter screen and 64MB of onboard memory.
So, what is so new and improved about the PSP-3000? There are two things that portray it all; an advanced high contrast LCD screen and a microphone.
According to Sony, the screen offers " the highest-level contrast ratio and better response time." It also allows the game player to play movies in a more natural and vibrant color. For those that uses the PSP outdoors, the new PSP adds anti-reflection technology.
The microphone concept can be seen in the PSP rival, the DS. Unlike the DS, the PSP brings in an Internet phone. Sony has made a agreement with Skype, which allows users to communicate with others with a Skype-compatible microphone. This also gives people a new experience with the PSP with games that are compatible with headsets.
Other than the upgraded screens and the installation of microphones, the PSP-3000 is not much different. Later in October, Sony will be releasing this new product along with 3 different colors to choose from. In addition to the original "Piano Black", there is also "Mystic Silver" and "Pearl White."
