Famitsu posted some comparison shots of the new PSP-3000 and the older PSP-2000 series, and this is easily the most interesting one to note. Here, you see how much better images off the new screen hold up in comparison to the old one. Looks like we're going to have to change our PSP nicknaming system:
- PSP-1000: PSP Phat
- PSP-2000:
PSP Lite PSP Dim
- PSP-3000: PSP Brite?
Help us brainstorm here, folks.
[Thanks, Zach M.!]

All Sony is teaching me is "don't buy our hardware, something better will come out right after you do for the same price"
Im guessing right after everyone gets their hands on this they'll announce psp2 or psp4000, now with hat!

Small improvements whenever they become financially possibly draw in new customers. I assure you the iPod would not be as popular as it is today if Apple had made the original 5 GB model and stuck with it for 10 years. As long as mine doesn't go obsolete, I'm fine with little fine-tunings.

I like the last one, but it would have to be changed to something like "PSP Best Until Next Year When We Want to Make A New PSP"... not too catchy anymore though.

Radiance could work. The PSP Radiance, PSP Rad for short. Probably cliche, but I'd be ok with that one.

i don't think it's necessarily brighter, just more glare resistant

I agree, the difference seems to be more from glare-reduction than brightness.

Sony is picking up the bad habits of Nintendo.

Why do you say that? It is kinda wierd though, i thought the next model of a playstation portable would be psp2, not an updated version of an updated version of the original psp. Didn't they say psp2 would be at least end of 09? i don't get why they couldn't have left features like these for the next psp.

do you mean that they are copying how nintendo came out with pokemon games like every year? or how there are like 5 or 6 different variations of the game boy?

I want to know if the screen actually has a cover over it now. Placing protectors on my Slim gets pretty annoying.
