PSP 2000 Discontinued...PSP 3000 moves in..

[Poofta!]

dont see everyone problem witht his. im glad a better version came out. technology goes down in price and goes forward, allowing us to enjoy new stuff as such. this will be my third psp and you can bet ill use and love it.

[emceelokey]

I may actually buy this one. I'm not sure if there is going to be a package deal with a gae and movie but being able to play games on tv without the progressive scan has pretty much sold me.

THEY LET YOU RETURN IT FOR A DEAD PIXEL!??! This is grand my friend tried pretty hard for 2 weeks contacting best buy and sony who were like stop being a bitch and embrace your dead pixel. I wonder if theyll fix that problem with these new screens, think about how many probably dont make the QC cut. This will save sony a bunch of money in the long run i bet.

I purchase from Walmart and/or Target. They never refuse a return. Target has a 90 day return policy. I'm not going to shift the thread to this old dead horse, but a dead pixel is a *defect*, regardless of the "nature" of LCD screens. Dead pixels are not intended at manufacturing time...so...

Anyway, I'm sure the new one will be plagued with the same issue if past experience with the PSP says anything to me.

Bookmarked for future reference.

If you thought it was annoying talking to someone while they have you on speakerphone, just wait until someone calls you from their PSP.

But seriously, who the hell would use that little mic for in-game voice chat instead of a headset?

[neuropolitique]

This is the version that should have been released originally.

Hmmmn,
As I've got the white Darth Vader slim I was thinking of getting the red God of War version to leave at my folks place for when I'm visiting..... No dead pixels on mine (knock on wood)

had fun playing PS1 games on it via my PS3 except any games where you had to read the text....

Getting a game system is like getting a car, the minute you buy it , it's not worth what you paid for it for quite a while...

[Juganawt]

No second analog nub, no sale. I'll stick with my PSP1000.

I have never tried the composite out for the psp-2000 but I thought you could play games on a tv with it! You can't?

Wtf man, that's the main reason I wanted the slim now I find out it's video only? Man, they pulled a fast one there!

Not cool.

It only played games through component out. The 3000 supports composite for those who do not have component connections on their display devices.

[Leo_A]

And your display has to be progressive scan capable, there are plenty of 480i CRT's out there with component inputs that won't allow you to output games through component on your PSP 2000. That's fixed now with the PSP 3000.

As much as people hate Sony, I give them a hell of a lot of credit for "evolving" their hardware be it through firmware/software updates or high-profile hardware revisions like this. (Yes, I know, Nintendo does that too with their handhelds.)

If you compare what a PSP could do out of the box at launch to what it can do now with the forthcoming 3000 version (with a continually DROPPING price point as well) ... well, it's pretty impressive IMO.

Same goes for PS3, but this thread is about PSP.

[Raedon]

I have the LE Mario Kart DS but I just picked up a LE Pokemon DS Lite. The thought of buying a PSP never crossed my mind and I already had a DS.

I want one but I'll wait until I find a used one. If it was cart I'd have thought about a PSP.

[Zing]

I agree that UMD is the game-breaker here.

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

I've never avoided purchasing a game system based on the media format it used.

Then again, I've never avoided purhcasing a game system.

[punkoffgirl]

Saw this link on google today, someone's opened the box early!

[Arcade_Ness]

Well I still have my white Vader PSP Slim and it I'm satsified with it, even though I use it mostly for music than gaming. While the new additions sound great, I just don't feel the urge to shell out for a third PSP.

[Overbite]

I have a PSP game but no PSP to play it on so I'm going to get a 3000 model but I just wish the Ratchet bundle wasn't silver I really like the blue Madden psp, make the 3000 in blue!

The d-pad still looks awful. Why can't they change the d-pad? Don't they know it sucks?
