8:09 a.m. -- In addition, the PSP 3000 has a built-in microphone. Along with Skype and Go Messenger, this will make it a "reliable communication device."

Wow so it is PSPhone.

I need hands on impressions of the screen before I sell my current slim.

 

[Dead Prince]

8:11 a.m. -- PSP 3000 will launch on the 15th of October for 199 Euros with one-game bundles. Eight Bundles will be included. Harry Potter, Buzz Master Quiz, Go Messenger, FIFA 09 Slim and Lite will then be priced at 169 Euros. Keep in mind kids, that's Euros, not USD. It will be more expensive here, in a way.

how much does the 2000 cost out there, because a 2000 in the US is just $170

 

[Davidion]

*looks at slim*

huh?

 

[rollingstart]

This is more along the lines ofthe GBASP+.

 

[Ozorov]

Where are you following from?

Eurogamer

 

[ChackanKun]

Nothing yet about the new PSP model eh?

 

[Busty]

For the first time, SCE will be publishing and distributing SOE's PlayStation games, including the distribution of their PC versions.

Interesting.

 

[Rapping Granny]

Sony is milking the shit out of the PSP right now.

and WTF at Eurogamer, it already crashed.

 

[Mahadev]

Free Realms first. Looks a bit like a cross between The Sims and a nightmare I once had.

:lol

 

[Saint10118]

199€ PSP 3000.
Slim is 169€. ?????????

:lol :lol :lol You decide PSP or a 360

 

[Hesemonni]

I just hope PSP-3000's screen is as lousy as the current one, response time wise. So I wouldn't have to buy another one. Otherwise I'm fine with Slim & Lite's screen (& CFW).

 

[careksims]

i just want more ps3 games. another god of war would be welcome.

Either that or more PSN games! Bring it on!

 

[duckroll]

So in Japan I guess the Dissidia bundle will be a PSP-3000.

At this rate Sony needs to come up with more increments really quick.

KH BbS bundle = PSP-3500
The 3rd Birthday bundle = PSP-3750

FFAgitoXIII bundle = PSP-4000

 

[jiggle]

Not enough of an improvement for me to upgrade. Guess I'll have to see the screen first, but sounds like I'll be waiting for 4000 next year to upgrade my phat.

 

[theBishop]

PSP 3000? Whaaaat?

I'll probably get one, but seriously they need to reach a point where they start saving features for the PSP2.

PSP is still a powerful piece of hardware. I doubt we're going to see a proper PSP2 for a few years.

 

[KTallguy]

I wish they'd announce a completely new PSP.

But if there's a mic I could see myself using this for phone stuff.

Is there still no remote available for the slim??

 

[Xater]

The speaker shows that the relationship between SCE and SOE is being strengthened in order to benefit their expanding userbase. Now let's have a quick look at the games SOE has on the table. Trailer begins. Free Realms. Colorful, fantasy, you can play... soccer? Lots of fantastical places to check out, basic hack-n-slash combat.

[flipping_heck]

Eurogamer is updating really slow, everyone needs to stop going on

 

[Dead Prince]

Nothing yet about the new PSP model eh?

what?

anyways. needs more announcements. waiting still now.

 

[deejay8595]

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Evander]

better screen? that's always good. It's not like I'm getting another PSP though.

it it's just the screen, then I'll play this like I did when the GBA SPs came out with brighter screens.

If games start using the built in mic, though, or there is some other new feature they mentioned that will elsewise make new games coming out incompatable with what I already have, then that is going to be annoying.

 

[Guymelef]

Nah, next update, 199€ because only there will be packs.

 

[gantz85]

Do Eurogamer hate Sony or what? :lol The general tone is just "meh".. no description of the titles etc.

 

[duk]

wtf @ price hike for PSP3000

 

[Busty]

Free Realms first. Looks a bit like a cross between The Sims and a nightmare I once had.

I wasn't sure how to articulate the look of this game, but that's it exactly.

 

[h3ro]

Eurogamer just went down for me...

 

[Azrael]

If they're going to introduce a third hardware revision, they could have at least added something better like internal storage.

 

[Mahadev]

15:15:15 -

And it's over. "Good," says Dave.

15:15:18 -

He probably didn't mean it like that.

:lol eurogamer is hilarious

 

[theBishop]

Interesting.

You think they'll be Games For Windows? :lol

 

[Dead Prince]

US and JP deserves it first. TGS it is!

 

[Evander]

Is there still no remote available for the slim??

there are two remotes out there (in the US)

a white one for 20 bucks that comes with headphones, and a black one for 30 that comes with a mic-headset.

 

[Xater]

"8:16 a.m. -- The host talks shortly about Kaz Hirai. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that Kaz is the man. So, PS3 has a great year. Sales have grown to over 14 million worldwide, and 5.8 million through the end of July -- that's in the PAL territories. Friday of this week, 80 gig PS3 available!!!!! 399 Euros."

 

[kaching]

Wow so it is PSPhone.

Not without some form of cellular network support. Wifi coverage isn't good enough.

 

[gofreak]

Wow, nearly half of PS3 sales/shipments/whatever are in PAL-land.

Sales have grown to over 14 million worldwide, and 5.8 million through the end of July -- that's in the PAL territories.

5.8 out of 14m.

 

[Haunted]

160GB PS3. Oh, my.

edit: Stop making your fucking SKUs more expensive >_<

 

[N.A]

160GB PS3

 

[Defuser]

Thanks for nothing but a crappy psp revision sony!! I don't give a 2 bit piece of damn for in built mic.

 

[Ozorov]

He's announcing a 160GB PS3 to launch on 31st October. Halloween.
