Its official Sony announced the PSP-3000

Didn’t take Sony too long now did it, the PSP-3000 has been officially announced at Games Convention 2008 in Leipzig. Sony president David Reeves announced that PSP-3000 will go on sale this October, starting on the 15th, it will have a price of 199€ and will be a bundle pack including a 4gb memory card plus a game. The standalone PSP-3000 will be priced at $169 and will be out later this year.

The new model is *just* a hardware refresh, it has a built-in microphone, an enhanced LCD screen with significantly less glare and more vibrant colors. Its also sports a smoother design and look over the PSP Slim. Unfortunatly thats it, no hard-drive, no 65nm CPU or increased battery life it seems or any of our wishes. I guess that will happen in the PSP2 ?

PSP-3000 is real, FCC listing proves this

Looks like the PSP-3000 rumors are indeed true as a FCC listing confirms that Sony is working on the new PSP-3000 model. This doesn’t however confirm the PSP-3000 spy photos released earlier are true or not. But it does confirm that Sony do have the new model in the works.

PSP-3001

So when will Sony break the silience and publicly confirm the unit as well as let us know the new specs? We can only hope that Sony will finally add some decent battery life to the new unit as well as maybe 802/g wifi, built-in mic + video cam and a internal flash drive? Is that that too much to ask for?

The new TA-088 Motherboard/CPU issue has been examined, and DA is working on it!  The problem seems to base from not just the new motherboards, but the new CPU’s being installed.  Some TA-088s can be flashed, so it’s kind of a gamble at this point.  Dark_Alex has stated that the problem has to do with the core of Despretar Cementario runs off of 1.50/3.40, something that evidently the new CPU’s can’t handle.  A new version of Despretar Cementario will not be realeased until they have remade the Core.

More on this issue and the quote from Alek himself will be found after the read more tag

Hehe, anyways the Playstation store has updated the prices for the Canadian store because the Americans are entering a recessing and because we are selling them our oil from the sands in Alberta… which is completely destroying the environment… rants aside, we get equal pricing because our dollar is owning.

Recently the game developing company Atari was acquiered by Infogrames for the low low price of US$ 11 Million Dollars. Infogrames has been trying to buy Atari since March and it looks like patience has perserved. Atari will become a second importance of Infogrames only next to the main company. The specifics of the agreement:

• brings to a close a period of financial underperformance for Atari;
• strengthens Atari under Infogrames’ new management team;
• delivers a platform for future growth in the US; and
• offers Atari shareholders an all cash exit.

Maybe we will get a new twist to some of our games from the companies?

Thanks to Rith for tip-off!
