PSP-3000 LCD Has Improved Response Time, Twice As Fast

Posted by x3sphere at August 21, 2008, 9:58 am


According to an Engadget Japan report, the recently announced PSP-3000 model will boast an LCD response time that is twice as fast compared to the current Slim model. That means there should be significantly less ghosting and color bleeding — a widespread complaint with previous iterations of the hardware.

Additionally, the PSP-3000 LCD will feature five times the contrast ratio and double the color gamut. Looks like they’ve suckered me into buying a third PSP now :’(

srry but how much better will that make the screen.

`Rage` says:

Wow.. I actually kinda want one now :|


I'll wait and see what DaX comes up with.


If it's CFW-proof, I probably won't buy it.

Acerthief says:

WOW

Sardu says:

How about a significant price drop?

Ranelar says:

The image in the "PSP-3000" screen looks very photoshopped. If it's a legit pic, then amazing, but I really doubt it.

PR0fessor Burnt says:

WOW :w00t:

It's real, the pic came from Famitsu. Here's the link to the original article (in Japanese): http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1217510_1124.html

what IS THE POINT in having a THIRD version of the hardware, when meanwhile there are virtually no more (interesting) games released ?!


I already bought a second one when the slim came out, but appart from Crisis Core (which even it gets boring as hell quite fast), I haven't come accross a single game in which i stay interested more than... let's say... 10min?


I don't want any new hardware! why doesn't sony put it's money in making interesting RPG/AdventureRPG's relying on well thought STORIES and SCENARII (NOT the beat'm all stuff Square fashionably called 'action-RPG')

Chilly Willy says:

The point is to try to placate the Nervous Nellies, the bean counters at third party developers, so they don't pull their support for the PSP. The PSP just recently lost a few, all claiming piracy as the reason. Sony had to be seen as doing something to keep others from jumping ship. They probably didn't want to bring it out this soon, but had their hand forced by recent defections.

I 100% agree with the quoted statement however the DS is being pirated to hell and back yet with that handheld it's a complete different story.
no new hardware revisions and games dropping like stores change out their produce items. No developers or anyone seems to give a crap about how much the handheld is pirated. A big WTF is in order me thinks.

Chilly Willy says:

Hypocrisy is rampant in the world of media - big-name singers come out for the RIAA while piracy helps make their concerts even bigger. Game distributors cry over losing their shirts to pirates even as they sell a million units of the latest game. When they turn out crap, they can't admit they did so and blame piracy for the lack of sales.

The DS is slightly better off in regards to putting out crap since it's aimed at kids. Kids are notorious for their lack of discernment when it comes to quality - they just want the latest game because they're bored with the old stuff and all their friends have the latest. The PSP is aimed at a market that wants more for their money... Sony just wishes they had Nintendo's market to sell to. :)
