The new version of the PlayStation Portable, the PSP-3000, will be available in Japan on October 16, 2008 for around £90.
The new PSP-3000 that promises a brighter and sharper LCD screen will launch first in Japan on October 16, 2008. With a price tage of approximately £90, the device can also be used for VoIP purposes using Skype. Unfortunately, the brighter screen doesn’t come without a price–it’ll shave off 20 to 30 minutes of your battery life. While it may not mean much, think of how much 30 minutes of playtime is when you’re bored out of your mind in a plane, a bus, or a ship with a PSP that’s ran out of battery life. Even more unfortunate still, it seems Sony is encouraging people to buy an extended battery pack to compensate for the loss of battery life. I guess this means there are no plans of improving the PSP-3000’s battery life in the future.

Wow, lets see what this baby can do. Can’t wait to use it really
The new psp is great…and I love the new brighter screen, but I agree that the whole battery thing sucks…half an hour is like an hour when you’re on the bus! I bought the extended battery pack, but man, that really took the total cost of the unit up higher than I wanted when you consider the total.
