latest version doesnt mean it's the best

I just got a brand new slim and lite psp this year, namely psp-2000. My baby is only 4 and a half months old. And it's free despite my protest to pay for it.

Okay, that's not the point. The main thing that i'm going to complain about is the latest psp release by sony!!!!

Nooooooo!!!!!

Just after slim was released bout a few months ago, sony just recently announced that there will be a new psp namely psp-3000 coming out soon!!!

Why la do this to me when i just recently bought it????

Yerrrr.....

Damn tak puas okay (even if i didnt pay i still tak puas. Hmph!)

Dahlah know that you rasa tak puas, but still cant help to go do research on the latest psp =)

Sometimes i really wonder why i want to do all the things which might ended with me shooting myself. lol.

Okay, continue with my recent "research", the results are:

1. The difference in LCD screens. New LCD screens feature five times the contrast ratio and quicker pixel-response times than the old PSP display. Thus resulting in eliminating ghosting or blurring during gameplay and video playback (gamespot, 2008).

Here's another picture if you havent notice the differences

2. Psp 3000 has a built in mic which is really convenient if you tend to use video calls on psp skype.

The black dot beside the PSP logo is the built in mic

3. Apparently the PSP 3000 has rounder edges compared to the previous model. Kononnya PSP-3000 systems now have a textured surface that provides better protection against fingerprints.

Thoughts :

The upgraded LCD screen is certainly very appealing. Better colour quality means better gameplay especially when you're playing in a bright lighted room or under the sun. Those annoying reflections can certainly get onto your nerves.

As for the built in mic, i seriously dont think it's necessary. Unless they are planning to create games which require you to speak through the mic during gameplay?

Lastly, rounded edges and better textured surface? Seriously, i got a feeling they are desperate to change the design but cant modify much. If you're afraid of finger prints just get a crystal case or a pouch or you can even wipe it if it's dirty. I would rather much prefer if they just focuses more on upgrading the specs or maybe the battery life than the design.

I'm quite disappointed in the changes honestly. I thought the latest version will leave me " woooow"or "ahhhh" but in the end it's just "har??? wtf"

Nope, i'm not emo bout the features or anything, i just feel like i just bought the 2000 version and here they are, happily released the 3000 version. It's that kind of feeling la. Sorry i dont really know how to explain it. They have just recently release 2000 version and they are going to released another 3000 version which in my perspective isnt that great in both design and hardware. Call me jealous or whatever, i have my right to complain.

xp

And according to psp developers, psp 2000 will cease to exist starting from dunno when. That is soooo dumb. I still prefer my psp 2000 even though it's not upgraded with those ahem high technologies.

=D
