 PlayStation Portable ,officially abbreviated PSP, is a handheld console manufactured and marketed by Sony Corporation Development of the console was announced during E3 , and it was unveiled t a Sony press conference before . The system was released in Japan  , in North America on March  and in the PAL region on September 

The PSP is widely known by the series code (PSP-1000, PSP-2000, etc.). There are sub-codes within this numbering system however which designate the region coding. One UMD game, BattleZone, and most movie discs have region encoding, and so will only work on the appropriate master unit.

The PSP-2000 (marketed in PAL areas as “PSP Slim & Lite” and still marketed as PSP in North America, Japan, China, India, Italy, and Portugal) is the first redesign of the PlayStation Portable. At E3 2007, Sony released information about a slimmer and lighter version of the PlayStation Portable. The new PSP was announced to be 33% lighter and 19% slimmer than the original PSP system. The model numbers were changed to PSP-2000, following the previous region-based numbering scheme (cf. the PSP-1000 numbering scheme of the “old” PSP model).

the PSP-3000 (marketed in PAL areas as “PSP Slim & Lite (with enhanced screen + built in microphone)” and still marketed as PSP in North America and Japan) has an improved LCD screen with an increased color range, five times the contrast ratio, half the pixel response time to reduce ghosting and blurring effects, a new sub-pixel structure, a microphone, a new disc tray design, new button designs and logos, and anti-reflective technology to improve outdoor playability. It can also output all games by component or composite using the video out cable.In its first four days on sale, the PSP-3000  units in Japan, according to Famitsu. In October the PSP-3000 units in Japan, according to Enterbrain.

The PSP-3000 plays the same games and offers the same media support as the older PSP models, but Sony has upgraded the system with an improved LCD screen and a new built-in microphone. The LCD is the same size and resolution as older PSP displays, but it has a “wider color gamut and anti-reflection technology,” according to the latest Sony press release.

The wider color gamut means that the new PSP screen is capable of displaying a wider range of colors. The new LCD also features five times the contrast ratio and quicker pixel-response times than the old PSP display. The response time has doubled in speed and will help eliminate ghosting or blurring during gameplay and video playback.

The increased color gamut and improved contrast ratio was noticeable when we placed the PSP-3000 system right next to a PSP-2000 (PSP Slim); colors looked richer and more vibrant on the PSP-3000. The vivid, ghost-free screen does draw more power than the old screen. John Koller, Sony director of hardware marketing told GameSpot that the new screen will reduce battery life by “about 20 minutes.”

battery

: Sony has informed us that the PSP-3000 will actually have the same battery life as the PSP-2000. The new screen does require more power, but Sony engineers have reduced the power draw from other system components to make up the difference and ensure that battery life remains the same for both gameplay and UMD video playback.

Sony added the antireflective technology to improve the PSP’s outdoor playability. We took our two PSPs outside for some side-by-side testing under the bright California sun. Neither system was playable in direct sunlight, but the PSP-3000′s display performed better than the 2000′s when we took a look at both systems in a shady area beneath a tree. We had difficulty taking pictures of the PSP’s antireflective screen in action outside–please bear with our angled indoor shots

The new system has the same video-out port and uses the exact same video cables as the PSP-2000, but Sony has upgraded the PSP-3000′s video output to support gameplay output on interlaced displays using composite video cables. The move will surely excite gamers dismayed over the fact that the PSP Slim can output gameplay video only to progressive scan displays. Now they can buy a new PSP instead of an HDTV.

microphone

The PSP-3000′s other major upgrade is its new built-in microphone. Sony put the integrated microphone into the PSP design roadmap after seeing the success of the headset-enabled SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo. Sony placed the microphone pickup beneath the screen to the right of the volume buttons, well out of thumb reach, to prevent any inadvertent muting.

Graphics and Processor

For awhile now, we have been hearing that the PSP2 would feature a four-core Cell CPU, making it as least as powerful as the original Xbox and close to the PS2, so you would be able to play modified versions of PS2 games. But according to more recent reports, that might be thinking too small.

The newest darling of the rumor ball is that the PSP2 will be able to generate graphics that are on par with the PS3, even though it will be half as powerful as Sony’s video game mothership. Because the render resolution for a portable system would be much smaller than the 1080p resolution the PS3 renders in, the PSP2 might be able to keep pace with the much larger system. If that is true, it opens up a whole lot of crazy potential. Imagine playing a game at home on your PS3, but you have to leave. Rather than taking the pedestrian route of simply saving your game and playing later, you may actually be able to continue the same game on your PSP2. It would likely be a modified version of the game, and developers would almost certainly have to design it with the cross-platform compatibility in mind, but it might happen.

Design

The case will (allegedly) feature a large OLED screen that supports HD and slides out to reveal the controls, touch-sensitive buttons on the back (or perhaps one track pad), analog sticks, a microphone, a front-facing camera, and a 12-megapixel rear facing camera. It is also said to have built-in Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity.

Games

It appears likely, even probable, that the PSP2 will follow the same road as the PSP Go and do away with physical media in favor of digital downloads. Although piracy remains an issue when the media is all digital, it costs less, and the integration with the PlayStation Network seems to suggest that nothing has changed with Sony in terms of physical media.

Sony hasn’t moved around any buttons or switches on the PSP-3000, but the system does have a few external design changes. The black PSP-3000 will have the same glossy finish as the older models, but the silver and white PSP-3000 systems now have a textured surface that provides better protection against fingerprints. The Sony logo that was located on the upper right of the system face has moved to the upper left, and the PlayStation logo that used to be in the upper left is now on the home button beneath the LCD. In addition to rotating the logos, Sony designers have replaced the brushed metal ring on the back of the unit with a thinner chrome ring. The PSP’s edges have also softened along the sides while hardening in the corners.
