Psp3000 Series

Get prepared now for Psp3000 Series. Recently sony has announced about psp3000 series.

Tokyo, August 21, 2008 - Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that it would launch a new PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) handheld entertainment system (PSP-3000) featuring an advanced LCD that further improves the very popular, high resolution PSP display. The new PSP will be available in stores in Japan, Asia, North America and Europe from October 2008.

Some of the unique features: Waterproof (spillproof) with a silicone O ring, the case can be dropped in water and will float, not allowing any water inside. Dustproof once closed and latched, nothing can get inside to damage the contents. Crushproof-people have actually driven their vehicles over the 3000 Case with no damage done (we do not suggest this however).

The new PSP 3000 officially revealed at last week's Leipzig Games Convention may have a nice, bright screen, but that comes with one downfall - reduced battery life. Battery life will decrease by a small amount. It's about 20 minutes, maybe 30 minutes, and that's because there's a larger power draw with the brighter screen. Elsewhere on the net, sketchy rumours claim the new PSP will be compatible with the PS3's DualShock 3 (or SixAxis), allowing you to control your PSP games on the handheld with the controller using a USB cable to connect them
