Sony Releases PSP-3000

Since Sony dropped their first iteration of the PlayStation Portable dropped in 2005, on-the-go gaming hasn’t been the same. Crisp graphics, compelling titles and multimedia features all made the unit a must have for hardcore gamers, and even casual players on the side. With the third generation of the handheld console, the PSP-3000, Sony has further refined the device, adding features to both display and overall functionality.

First up, the PSP-3000 is lighter than both previous models, and boasts a richer LCD display with more prominent color display and anti-reflection screen.

On the sound side, the PSP-3000 has a built in microphone allowing for talking points during multi-player game sessions, or making phone calls over the Skype network.

Available now at Sony Style in the Rachet and Clank: Size Matters pack, the PSP-3000 retails for $199 and comes with a UMD copy of National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets and a 1GB memory stick.
