PSP 3000 street date broken (so's the screen, lol)

[Ermac]

Did a search, didn't see anything. Mock if old

Went to Best Buy today to pick up a new Nano for my wife and lo and behold:

Sorry for the crappy quality. Asked the associate about it, he told me "Oh yeah, they do come out next week," then walked away. I'm still contemplating on whether I should go back and pick one up. The silver looks really nice.

 

[RBH]

Looks hot.

Thankfully, I didn't get a PSP-2000, so maybe I can just upgrade my original PSP and get the 3000.

 

[Firewire]

My PSP slim cries!

 

[IcebergSlim3000]

Not worth it.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

why is it in a cage?
serious question

Exactly what I intend on doing.

 

[No45]

Is that silver different to the standard 2000 silver? I have that from the Daxter pack, as it was by far the best deal out there, and to be honest it looks cheap. I'd take black over that any day.

Loss prevention.

 

[MarkMan]

My Best Buy in San Diego (Mission Valley) has been selling it since last week

 

[BravoSuperStar]

Hawt.

Glad I didn't get a madden bundle one. Now I need someone to buy my slim.

wha? my slim in silver is teh sexy!

 

[madmook]

These ones only come with a 1 gig mem stick, right? And the one with the 4 gig stick comes out in November?

 

[Metalmurphy]

Not worth it.

The new screen alone is worth it.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

I have to agree. I bought the slim silver on launch day and I'm still super happy with it and it's color. Black just looks like all the rest of them.

The new screen alone is worth it.

I don't think so, to me it's not the jump from DSPhat to DSlite or PSPFat to PSPSlim. I'm happy I bought my slim when I did and don't feel like I'm missing out on the 3000.

 

[Princess Skittles]

Not worth it.

If you have a 2000, this is true.

It would be a good upgrade from the 1000 though.

 

[GQman2121]

I just want the system, not all the extra shit inflating the price. Call me when they start selling it by it's self.

 

[Kagari]

Make me a pink one, Sony, or no buy!

 

[dark10x]

Is it possible to get ahold of a PSP 3000 outside of a bundle?

 

[No_Style]

My PSP slim cries!

Yeah. That new screen sure is purty though. =/

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

I'm kind of tempted as I never picked up a slim, but I'll just go ahead and assume Sony have fixed the Pandora exploit on this new model, right?

 

[Princess Skittles]

Make me a pink one, Sony, or no buy!

;___;

 

[Pein]

I really need to get one my psp fat is crappy as hell

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Anyone who gets their hands on a 3000, I would love to hear some additional impressions.

I bought mine off of Amazon earlier this week. Since I'm a videophile and sensitive to ghosting, I figured the upgrade over the slim would be worth it. Add that to the fact that all PSP games might be going digital in 2009, and I was willing to give up my homebrew. Plus, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the 3000 is hacked, and then I'll have my 333mhz back. (Unless Sony gives me that too.)

Spoiler

Please.

 

[PSYGN]

Yeah, I've read about this on another forum.

I still have my old fatty, and will be 100% interested in this PSP 3000 when it becomes homebrewable. I just want to see how much of an improvement the screen makes when it comes to GTA: LCS. That game had horrible ghosting.

 

[P90]

Is it possible to get ahold of a PSP 3000 outside of a bundle?

I'd be looking to do the same thing.

 

[Firewire]

;___;

eeeewh! gross! :lol

 

[Stat Flow]

Not worth it.

Ironic

 

[Paznos]

Hawt.

Glad I didn't get a madden bundle one. Now I need someone to buy my slim.

I'm glad I did get the madden bundle

 

[Raistlin]

So I suppose I should run out and get a Slim before they're gone (homebrew)?

 

[OldJadedGamer]

I couldn't care less for Madden, but I liked the blue color.

 

[TekunoRobby]

[WickedLaharl]

hopefully this means the hackers will get their hands on one just that much quicker so we can get cfw on it asap.

QUESTION: Can PSP 3000 use Skype? If so can it easily and efficiently but used as a phone or would it be difficult and janky to pull it off?

Thank you for your input.

 

[No45]

So I'm alone on the silver being tacky then?

Good point - is it confirmed that the 3000 is secure? I don't think I could go back to carrying my UMDs around.

That's basically what the in-built microphone is for.

 

[rollingstart]

When are the black entertainment bundle ones coming out? I remember November was thrown around.

 

[Weenerz]

No homebrew, no thank you.

/hugs psp slim.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

indeed, the street date has been broken. the scene at my local mall was tumultuous, to say the least

dead rising 2 on ps4.

 

[Amir0x]

kinda fucking annoyed, but i will trade my slim PSP toward this one so it's ok

 

[BravoSuperStar]

I'm glad I did get the madden bundle

If i did that then I would have 2 slims. I loved the blue color though. But if they are suddenly discounted, then maybe. What the hell would I do with 3 PSP's though, lolz.

 

[GQman2121]

Yeah....I've been leaning towards posting my Silver slim in the buy/sell/trade thread since this model was annouced, but I really don't want to buy another bundle, since I don't need any of that shit.

 

[Chris_C]

Ratchet's been a bad boy.

EDIT: My launch PSP still functions great, but I might end up getting one. I just hope they don't introduce a 4000 model next year.

except thats a wii up top...

I'll agree that in pictures, it looks horrible and tacky but when you have it in your hands it looks really cool. IMO of course

 

[NomarTyme]

I want the Core pack.

 

[ayrkain]

Good point - is it confirmed that the 3000 is secure? I don't think I could go back to carrying my UMDs around.

Not all current slims are CFW-able. Some TA-88's (v3) block the exploit. So buying a Slim right now isn't necessarily a great idea either.

 

[Unregistered007]

same here, but I have a PHAT and I got a 360 recenlty so the new 3000 can wait.

 

[FoxSpirit]

If you can break this open like the old ones, maybe I'll give it a shot. Portable emulator console ftw!!!

 

[ataboada]

I'm really interested in buying this, because I don't own a PSP. But many people here are saying I shouldn't. What are some pros and cons?

 

[DMczaf]

Only the Ratchet bundle is out now? Damn. I want the 4gb memory stick one!
