If you were wondering what the inside of the new PSP-3000 is going to look like - or that Electrical Engineering degree has turned you into a Jawa, this is for you.

Nothing really new here, not that we didn't know already though.

    • 5 times the contrast ratio
    • 2 times the color range
    • 2 times quicker refresh rate

  • Built in microphone

    That's kind of neat to see how the PSP is put together.
    But it looks like the new screen isn't doing so well . PSP-3000 has interlacing issues, visible scanlines. And even though it has a TA-090 motherboard it can't be hacked, so now I know I'll be avoiding the PSP 3000 until these major problems are fixed.

    Well, in the eyes of Sony, they won't be looking at that motherboard as a "problem". Hah hah.

      True, Very True.
      But Sony has to realize that a large number of PSP sales are from people that bought it just to hack it. If the 3000 can't be hacked many people won't be replacing the older models that they own.

    Hey, it looks pretty cool when you can see the innards and everything! And yeah, I've been considering buying a PSP, but there is no way I would buy it if it can no longer be hacked. I'd be better off with a few new DS games, or an Xbox 360.
