Excited about the new PSP 3000? Well don’t jump in to any rush decisions and read below.

The device will feature a very bright LCD display with a wider color gamut and 5 times the contrast ration of the previous PSP 2000. Ok, I’ll admit it… it’s great until now but that’s not the end of it.

The PSP300 will provide up to 4 hours of playtime but that comes with a price: the battery life will drop down with 30 minutes. That’s why Sony is already releasing on the market an extended battery that will offer up to 10 hours of play.
