It’s official! Sony announced that PSP-3000 will go on sale worldwide from October 2008.
According to Sony, the main changes are:
- The new LCD screen adopts an anti-reflection technology, which enables users to see the screen more clearly in well-lit places, even when used outdoors.
- The built-in microphone will allow users to easily enjoy games that utilize a microphone, as well as Skype and other communication tools.
- the video-out port is also expanded to output gameplay in interlace format, which will allow new PSP users to enjoy games on non-progressive TVs by using separately sold cables.
In addition to the basic “Piano Black” color, the new PSP will also come in “Pearl White” and “Mystic Silver”(*4) to meet variety of lifestyle and preference of all ages.
