CNET editors' rating:

Excellent
THE GOOD
Light, slim enclosure; screen offers better color reproduction than that of earlier PSP models; improved AV output for video and game playback on TVs; built-in Skype with onboard microphone; retains all of the impressive media and online features of earlier PSP models; deep lineup of great game titles that offer better graphics than Nintendo DS games.
THE BAD
Despite improvements, problems and annoyances remain: screen exhibits noticeable jaggies and scanlines during high-motion video and gaming sequences; UMD load times still poky compared with DS games; screen isn't glare-free, and is still a magnet for fingerprints; Web browser and data input can be cumbersome; no built-in storage; subtle redesign missed the opportunity to add even more features.
THE BOTTOM LINE
While there's probably not enough to get owners of previous the PSP to upgrade, newcomers will find the PSP 3000 to be a solid portable gaming and multimedia device.

5.0/5
You can play great games on it, watch movies (Either from UMD or the downloaded variety) and download music from your cd's/computer. For me it's the "Jack of all trades" system that suits my needs (And I have a feeling it will suit your needs to). A... read more »
