Taking a Look at the PSP-3000

After experiencing some issues with my launch PSP-2000, I decided to pick up a new PSP-3000. This vibrantly blue model comes bundled with Sony's Invizimals game, the required micro USB camera and AR card, a copy of the Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs film on UMD and a 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo.

The blue on this model absolutely gorgeous, though the camera doesn't quite pick up its luster and in person, it might just a little too much for some people. The 3000 model is very similar to the 2000, with some slight tweaks to the tertiary buttons, a built-in mic and a screen that sports a better color range and a significantly improved refresh rate. There seem to be a series of very faint horizontal lines, but I find the enhancements to the screen easily outweigh this. As with all PSP models, the 3000 is a fairly capable system with a great library of games.

The included camera is a neat little inclusion, with a lens that flips to face forward and backward, though it feels a little on the cheap side. The picture quality, as seen with the included game Invizimals, is decent.

These bundle packs seem to be running dry lately. I went to about a dozen stores and came across only one; I bought this one on Amazon. They are a great value, usually including a game, a UMD film and a memory stick for $170-$200. I definitely recommend tracking one down if you're interested in a PSP.

Hey Craig> just watching in your video you get the game and movie in card slips but in my PSP 3000 blue little big plannet i recived the game in a UMD box-

[tvandlust]

@deviantartme I just checked your profile and yeah, that's because you're in the UK. It seems that often times on occasions when we get slips, you guys get full cases. Don't know why that is, but enjoy it! :)

[tvandlust]

@gallardo1498 I'm pretty sure a PSP could get those things done, but honestly, if you're not interested in the games, I'd recommend an iPod Touch over a PSP for multimedia and web things.

@TheGamingEagle A comment doesn't make you childish, but a choice in video game systems does? Dude, you had an opportunity to state a preference without being a jerk. You chose to be a jerk. That makes you pretty childish.

@TheGamingEagle Judging maturity by way of appliance ownership = childish

Interesting video. The English/French indicates that it is for retail in Canada as well as the US. I have an unboxing video of the same bundle, however my bundle was WAY different. The PSP was White, the instruction manual was in the box (not the instruction pack) and several other odds and ends. Neat to see the difference (and inconsistency) in the two bundles of the "same" game/movie.

@tvandlust ah right, ok. And yea i will :D

You have a nice day
