I really don’t like the clunky, plasticy look and feel of the new silver PSP 3000. I opened the box, felt it in my hand and put it back right away, closed the box and will try to return it tomorrow and get the old, sleek, beautiful, black PSP slim 200x.

I really do not think that the technical improvements that others have mentioned here (brighter screen, built-in mic) compensate for such a pathetic look and feel of the product. For me, that was exactly what accounted for most of the prestige and novelty of PSP Slim models.

this is the first thing that i got from amazon that was messed up. the screen was blury and there was a line through it. i will give them credit on helping me get a new one on the way though.

Was very excited to unbox my new psp3000 and then horrified to see the quarter sized plop of sticky goo/glue used to hold a protective foam piece over the screen of my new device during shipping. I calmed myself thinking surely there was a protective film or something between the goo and the screen….NO!!!! You’ve really got to apply some pressure to get it off while also doing your best not to scratch up the screen in the process. After repeated cleanings, mine came out ok but it was not a pleasurable experience. Whoever came up with this solution should have his hands glued to his face.

I had a fat PSP way back in the day. I sold it. I wanted to get a new one and figured this would be the best time. Until dang thing came with a dead pixel (or maybe it was two (it was very noticeable)). So just waiting on the exchange to get here… but overall the PSP is nice. I definitely love the slim (remember I had the fat one).
