Should I Buy A PSP 3000?

I have just got a PSP 3000 and I have to say it's pretty great. I had an old PSP 2000, or PSP Slim, which I traded in at GameSpot to get the 3000. It was well worth it in my opinion so if you are unsure whether you should buy a PSP 3000 or other portable gaming machine, I would highly recommend the 3000. The screen on the 3000 is much brighter and clearer, this is fantastic when I see movies on it. I've also noticed that it is possible to play with the PSP 3000 outside in the sun, due to the changes made to the screen.

The 3000 has a better screen than its predecessor, when you went to a dark sector in the game it became hard to see and navigate your way around the game. The Sony PSP 3000 now features Skype and a built in microphone.

Along with hardware improvements, the Slim 3000 also features a few cosmetic renovations as well, another valid reason to buy a PSP 3000. The 'HOME' button is no longer there but instead you will find a PSN button. The PSN button is used in the same as the old button, but instead has the Playstation logo instead of the word 'HOME'. Also, the brushed aluminum ring which was featured on both the PSP Fat, as it has become known, and the PSP Slim has been replaced with a more polished and thinner chrome ring. The PSP 3000 has smoother edges then it predecessor, making it feel more confortable in your hands.

The PSP 3000 plays the same games as the PSP 2000. One of the major problems that Sony's had with the previous two PSPs was piracy, as evidenced by the 5.0 release being hacked just two days after it launched. Whether the 3000 is a hackable as the 2000 still remains to be seen. One wouls assume that the PSP 3000 has stronger anti-piracy measures, but once hackers got their hands on the 3000 we will soon know if this will be the case or not.
