Buy PSP 3000 or not ?

To buy PSP 3000 or not to buy PSP3000 ?

Here is my compiled review:

The Bad:
- Not as ambitious as the PSP-2000
- Although not a huge issue, a subtle scanline-like effect can be found on screen when moving from side to side in 3D games
- Even with the anti-reflective coat, the screen is still hard to see while outdoors

The Good:
- More vibrant LCD screen
- Hardware support for playing PSP titles over composite cable
- Fast LCD response time reduces motion blur, or ghosting effects
- Minor cosmetic tweaks
- Matte-finish on the faceplate: no fingerprints
- Microphone is built-in.

I give Sony's new PSP an 8 out of 10. Let's hope they will improve this new console. Any comments are welcome !
