Yup, it looks and feels like an improved unit. The screen is a bit bigger I think too, on top of looking jawesome.

Eh, I bought a PSP-2000 in March. I'm not buying another one.

Dunno but on most TVs, expanded color space just makes the picture look worse.

Post by: MrAngryFace on October 16, 2008, 01:07:59 AM: Your loss.

The new adapter is roughly 2/3rds as big as the old one, a bit lighter, and while the cable that goes to the outlet is the same size, the cable running to the PSP is thinner and seems to have more flexibility, probably for plugged in play.
Title: Re: Oh God PSP 3000 so AWESOME
Post by: cool breeze on October 16, 2008, 01:08:05 AM: I can live without CFW on my PSP for a while. It's one of the perks to buying/importing all my psp games on umd...maybe the only perk there is. Plus, my PSP 2000 (or 1000) aren't going anywhere. There are some games I probably won't be able to play without CFW like Outrun 2, which is borderline unplayable for me now on UMD without 333.

I'm still playing God of War on my memory stick with GOW in the UMD drive. Never bothered to check if the MS loaded faster than the UMD, I just assumed it did.

I don't know what games you play, but CFW cuts down load time a lot. Midnight Club 3 is awesome on the PSP, it's just that the loads times were unbearable until I ripped the umd and put it on my memory stick.

GoW on PSP hardly has any loading with the UMD. I'm probably gonna replay it on the 3000.

I had traded in Ratchet, so getting it again is kinda neat i guess. Its a solid game but more of the same. I need change I can believe in from that series. I dont plan on storing much so my old 4 gig stick is fine. I just thought it was cheap-o of Sony

MicroSD cards are the shiznit. One day everything will use them, but then Sony will stop receiving their Pro Duo MS "tax" from filthy pirates.

Yeah. I wish I could just fill up my nano with mini SDs :(

The GAF CFW thread is actually a great place to learn about installing CFW.

Post by: Sho Nuff on October 16, 2008, 10:32:33 PM: AFAIK you can get it at "T-Zone." Ask for it, it's behind the counter.

BTW, what's this I hear about the PSP-3000 having interlacing problems and visible scanlines? ??? I have yet to try one yet.
Title: Re: Oh God PSP 3000 so AWESOME
Post by: Van Cruncheon on October 16, 2008, 10:36:21 PM: if you turn quickly, you can see faint interlacing artifacts on the edges of polygons in high contrast situations. it's not nearly as distracting as ghosting, thankfully, and the only 2D game i've played where it was even slightly visible was sonic 2.

gradius generations is a revelation on the thing :bow2

-- Start PSone game
-- Marvel at the fact that you now actually have a portable Playstation that outputs video just like a Playstation

i see prole mentioned it already but fuck this shit. interlacing sucks ass and is a major reason why i can't stand to play some 2d ps2 fighting games (kofxi and battle coliseum).

Post by: bork on October 17, 2008, 03:35:26 PM: So I installed CFW 5.00 M33 and played an official PSN Store PS1 game...it's full screen, all right...but blown way up and most of the screen is cut off. There seems to be no way to adjust this.
Title: Re: Oh God PSP 3000 so AWESOME
Post by: bork on October 17, 2008, 03:59:47 PM: Damn, PS1 games are the only ones that work with composite cables on the PSP 2000. Maybe someone will find a better hack this time...the old one is not working anymore for me under the new firmware.

Yup, I got the new CFW that was released. Really slick interface and it loads incredibly quick. I wish they would pay an inkling of attention though of what content is on available. I downloaded the Resistance PSP trailer only to find that it was a trailer being played on a PSP, thus only displaying the footage on a whole square inch.

It's what I hear. I know someone who got one and says the ghosting seems non-existent, but then the scanline issue takes its place as the "new ghosting." :-\

But since you can turn the color mode to the same setting as the 2000 model, it doesn't really matter. Use the new setting for the games that look good with it is all. Still not getting one until they are hacked though. If I get one, that is.

I did pick up the new stamina battery today. When did these come out? It says it extends PSP 2000 and 3000 series' battery life by 80%.

What's the mAh rating on it? I'm pretty sure the slim battery I bought earlier this year only had a 40% bump or something. If there's a new one, I want it.
Title: Re: Oh God PSP 3000 so AWESOME
Post by: bork on October 18, 2008, 12:37:20 PM: 2200 mAh. It's the same size as the old 1000 series batteries and comes with a new battery cover that makes the right back side stick out a little bit. I like this because it lets my 2000 fit comfortably in my old 1000 series Logitech case (with a little padding for the left side)

that's the same mAh as mine...does it say 80% on the box? maybe they're better somehow?

Mine gets like 6-8 hours depending.

Post by: bork on October 18, 2008, 03:52:40 PM: Could just be Sony marketing bullshit then. These are definitely new as they list PSP 1000/2000/3000 on the box. Guess I must have missed the original release earlier on. I thought these weren't out yet!

Yes, but apparently the scanline issue remains no matter what setting you use. There are even more pic comparisons floating around and I am glad I didn't buy a 3000 now.

Well, I never planned to in the first place because I already have a Silver slim PSP and it looks bad. I hope that if there actually is a problem (I haven't seen it in person yet), it does get fixed before I buy the black entertainment bundle.
Title: Re: Oh God PSP 3000 so AWESOME
Post by: bork on October 25, 2008, 12:19:10 AM: It's a minor hardware update and it looks like they have essentially traded one problem for another. And if it still isn't hackable yet, who gives a fuck? Until it is the 2000 series is where it's at.
