PlayStation Portable - Now with Included Microphone and Brighter Screen
The latest Playstation Portable revision, the PSP-3000, has everything the older PSPs had but now includes a built-in microphone, which lets you take advantage of voice features in some games as well as the PSP's built-in Skype functionality without having to use a headset. This PSP-3000 comes in a sleek black color scheme and also includes an improved anti-reflective screen that offers higher contrast and clearer visibility in well-lit places and can even be used outdoors.

A Full Entertainment System in Your Hands
The PSP was designed to handle all varieties of applications and entertainment -- music, video, communication, wireless networking, and, of course, gaming. Users will enjoy top-notch 3D games with high-quality, full-motion video, and high-fidelity audio. The 4.3-inch wide screen display is bright and beautiful, and works well under many different lighting conditions. If you prefer, you can also connect your PSP to your TV. The PSP utilizes the Universal Media Disc (UMD) for a storage medium, each of which holds 1.8 GB of data.

Hundred of Games to Choose From
The PSP gaming library is hundreds of titles strong and covers a wide variety of genres. Whether you are seeking the hard hits of football or the strategy of a puzzle game, there's sure to be many games for you. The PSP is capable of graphics quality that is comparable to the PlayStation 2, but in a pocket-sized package that you can take wherever you go.

Watch Movies and Videos On The Go
When you just want to sit back and enjoy a movie on a long plane trip, the PSP has you covered. The PSP offers two options to do this: you can either purchase full-length movies and TV shows on UMD, or you can download videos onto your computer and transfer them on a Memory Stick Duo for playing on your PSP. Included in the package is the movie National Treasure 2 on UMD.

You can also watch recorded television content downloaded to a Memory Stick Duo with the TiVo-To-Go service. (Please note that this requires $24.95 fee, you must have a TiVo Series2 connected to your home network.)

Listen to Your Music Collection Anywhere
With the ability to play MP3, WAV, WMA, ATRAC3+, and MP4 files, you can easily use your PSP as an audio player. Simply place your music on a Memory Stick Duo, and you can navigate your collection using the PSP's XMB (XrossMediaBar) to select your song to play.

UMD discs can hold 1.8 GB for epic games and full-length movies. View larger.

Show and Share Photos With Your Friends
With the PSP, you can show a slideshow of your photo collection with your friends by simply placing them on a Memory Stick Duo and accessing them via PSP's XMB. Additionally, you can beam photos wirelessly to friends who also have a PSP.

Download content from the PlayStation Store onto the PSP. View larger.

Built-in WiFi allows for Internet Browsing and Online Gaming
With built-in WiFi, you can access the Internet from any accessible hotspot. Once connected, you can surf the Web and download exclusive demos and content for your PSP from the PlayStation Store.

The WiFi also allows you to battle other gamers, both over the Internet and in your local vicinity.

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters Game Included
With this Limited Edition set, you'll get to play Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters right out of the box. A combination of a platformer and shooter, Size Matters delivers the over-the-top humor and fun that the series has come to be known for.

As is Ratchet and Clank's hallmark, the game features large cache of weapons, each of which can be upgraded to become larger and stronger. It's the sheer wackiness of the weapons that makes the game so much fun: among the many weapons at your disposal, you'll have the option of wielding a shotgun, a pistol that shoots killer bees, and a gun that shoots out robots.

The game makes full use of the PSP hardware and incorporates multiple lighting and particle effects without any slowdown in game play.

With this Limited Edition Entertainment Pack, you won't be lacking in entertainment options when you're on the run. In fact, you might actually start looking forward to your long commute.

What's in the Box:
PSP-3000, power cord, power adapter, battery pack, Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters UMD game, National Treasure 2 UMD movie, 1GB Memory Stick Duo, PlayStation Network game download voucher.

Customer Reviews

returned... (2009-02-24)
i ordered this item from amazon.com and when it arrived i was so dissapointed because the unit looks like it was used. it has a remarkable scratch at the umd cover. anyway i contacted amazon for a replacement and i got the replacement with lightning speed. good job amazon!!!

PSP 3000 (2009-02-19)
I was reluctant to spend money on the PSP 3000 when I already owned the original 1000. The new PSPs felt flimsy and not as durable as the original. After reading other reviews I finally spent the money and bought the PSP 3000. The display is brighter and the picture seems clearer but the upgraded features is what really has pleased me on this new model. The WLAN picked up my router immediately after entering WPK code and the ability to make SKYPE phone calls are so convenient because the PSP is shaped similar to most home phones and has a built in microphone. I can treat it just like another phone in the house. The internet radio program is truly top notch. The clarity and sound quality through my headphones produce an excellent listening experience which I seem to use more than my IPOD or other MP3 players. The signal is static free and the controls are very easy to use. Another excellent feature is Video Out capabilities. When traveling, you have a portable DVD player that you can attach to the hotel room TV to watch movies on a bigger screen or even play your games. As a gaming experience there is no real difference between the new machine and the original PSP. If you have an original PSP and are wondering if you should upgrade, I say upgrade to the PSP 3000 because it has enough new features to make it worth the money.

Nice Bundle (2009-02-12)
Overall, the PSP is a great system. I can't say much for Ratchet & Clank, but Everyday Shooter is pretty cool (the voucher for the piano black version of this bundle).

the PsP 3000 it's awesome (2009-01-28)
The psp 3000 its way lighter and slimmer than the psp 2000. The Ratchet and Clank bundle its so fun to play.

Fantastic price at Amazon (2009-01-28)
I bought this for my son and now we both use it almost every day.
Adding a 16gb pro duo card makes this the best portable device for your music, videos etc.
Upgrading to the media Manager for PSP helps a bit to convert basic files. I can now listen to my podcast and certain files are automatically converted.
You will need to purcahse a program to convert your personal DVDs to the MP4 format to see them on your PSP.
Also the S Component cable to view the display on your TV along with a starter kit as this is not included in the 17 in one starter kit.
Again Amazon had the best price, the wait was worth it.
