The latest incarnation of Sony’s handheld games machine, the PSP-3000, is possibly the most powerful, visually-lavish handheld console that money can buy. But is it perfect? Far from it…Yes, the PSP-3000 includes a brighter, less reflective, anti-glare...
Great, antiglare screen.
Screen can go fuzzy at times. Not enough new features.
No one can accuse the PSP-3000 of lacking power. Lacking in new features, though, is a different matter...

The PlayStation portable (to give it its full name) isn't a new product, having been with us since 2005. We've always admired it for both the brilliance of its mobile gaming and the sheer tactility of its interface, but it'd be fair to say it hasn't al...
Bright, colourful screen, superb user interface, excellent mobile gaming, increasingly broad range of features...
Still limited in content options and capacity next to some alternatives, although they're not games consoles...

Nintendo may have mastered touch tech but Sony still delivers the eye-poppingest on-screen action. The latest PSP’s anti-glare display has more colours, half the response time and five times the contrast ratio of its predecessor, giving you punchy...
The pumped-up screen occasionally shows annoying scan lines and doesn’t help the mediocre battery life (though switching off Wi-Fi will). Tweaking the TV Out to support older, non-Hi-Def tellies is hardly fair either – how can we justify that...

If youre a heavy PSP user with wads of cash to blow, need the external mic, or want to play games on a standard TV, the PSP 3000 is the sleeker, visually crisper twin to last years model. If youre an original PSP owner and skipped the PSP 2000, you...

No change here...Well not much. If the evolution of the original PSP phat to the PSP-2000 slim and lite was a small step, this is a shuffle. From the box, the PSP-3000 looks the same, but there are two key component changes - Sony has sourced a ne...
