Psp - 3000

This is the least least you should expect from sony.
Dude update ur Slim with latest M33 CFW and you will be able to play xvid.

PSP3k battery:

Originally, it was believed that the battery life of the PSP 3000 would be worse than the original, but Gamespot has learned from Sony that it will actually be the same (about 4 to 6 hours for games and about 4 to 5 hours for UMD videos). While the new screen does require more power, Sony has compensated by reducing the power draw of other components. The weird thing here is that Sony originally suggested that re-releasing the discontinued PSP extended battery pack was the solution. Is there some confusion here or did they just reverse ground?

Updates:

1. PSP 3000 is nicknamed as PSP Brite for it's 2000:1 contrast ratio and brighter screen. PSP Slim had 400:1 contrast ratio

2. The NTSC ratio is increased from 53% to 85%

3. Response time is reduced from 30millisec to 8millisec

4. PSP Brite black is supposed to release in November in India while the sliver one will be available by Oct end at Sony World and Croma

Hopefully, someone will get it here and then post a review with comparison shots.

yeah I am eagerly waiting for the Black One to arrive in India.

#1 Complaints about the PSP-3000 screen's interlacing issues pile up at the PlayStation US forums, all Sony had to say was that they were "looking into it."

While everyone's waiting for further developments from Sony U.S., the folks at Engadget have gotten word from Sony Computer Entertainment Japan. The SCEJ representative that contacted them, in Engadget's words, noted that:

the interlacing-like lines are just "features" of the new LCD, and currently, there are no plans to fix it with a future software update since it is in the hardware.

They're... what? Features? Not a very keen feature, if that's the case. Nevertheless, a serious question is now posed: are you willing to put up with scanlines on your screen for Pandora glory care of DAX and the TA-090? Buying a PSP-3000 now requires serious thinking, it seems.

Some pretty distressing news on the Sony handheld front: We've gotten wind of reports that the new PSP-3000 handhelds have some interlacing issues. Some scanlines not seen on the Slim have also been spotted on the PSP-3000's screen.

#2 Some members on the U.S. PlayStation forums have said that the interlacing issues become really noticeable when fast-moving objects are on-screen.

PSP-3000 has interlacing issues, visible scanlines? - PlayStation Portable News - PSP Updates

^ everything is true.the psp 3k is crap.the screen is certainly good in clarity but these interlacing sh1t is bad.i've personally seen it and dropped the idea of getting one and bought a psp 2k for my cousin.

If anyone is looking to get one-i'd suggest waiting till this interlacing issue is fixed.plus the matte finish looks poor.build quality is poor.

Holy shit! If you guys hadn't posted it, I would have. Some of the screenies I've seen were truly mind boggling. The only way Sony could've screwed up this badly is if their dev team were blind.

That doesn't explain poor body quality
If you check it yourself ,you'll know what i'm saying.
Everything looks cheap.but not the price-which is more than 9k

PSP Brite's Interlacing issue is Hardware Based



The guys at French site Logic-Sunrise wanted to investigate the PSP-3000's "scanline feature" and, quite literally, put it under a microscope. As seen in the pics above (they're 40x magnified under the microscope), the LCD pixels on the PSP's screen, prove two things:

1. the PSP-3000's blue pixels are darker than the Slim's; since they're darker, the dark scanlines are more prominent

2. the PSP-3000's pixels are arranged horizontally (hence the horizontal scanlines) as opposed to the Slim's pixels, which are arranged vertically And what's their conclusion after this finding? Quite simply, that the "feature" is 100% hardware-based (because that's how the LCD screen was really built), just like the SCEJ rep previously said.

Hmm, if Sony's decided to cease PSP Slim production, they might be in for rough times.

^so its wise to buy the PSP Slim for now?

I'm equally inclined towards both. I'll personally wait for the Black PSP 3000 one and now till the interlacing is resolved.CFW is yet another chapter, Though I am least bothered about it.

But who desperatly wants to buy can go for PSP 2000, as with it one can enjoy CFW, and no interlace in screen.

it depends whether u want to run a custom firmware or original firmware

Its a easy choice to make

heh Its a good thing i went with the PSP 2000

I've got tiny scanlines on my K750 now, and they're irritating. I can only imagine how bad it can be on such a big screen
