Gaming PSP 3000 BEING RECALLED!

[SPH73]

PSP-3000 pulled from PlayStation site - Silent recall imminent

PSP-3000 pre-orders at Amazon cancelled!

This could not have come at a worse time. This will really hurt PSP sales this Christmas. But at least Sony is doing the right thing. I wish I could say the same for other companies and their defective products.

OMG

Long live the PSP-2000

 

[Seyiji]

OMG

Long live the PSP-2000

Even though I have a PSP-1001 I'll have to agree with this statement until Sony gets there shit together

 

[cosmo2389]

OMG

Long live the PSP-2000

Thirded!! Their "advanced" screen didn't do much more than cause many people problems and a recall will just further those problems...

But for all of those who purchased one, I really do hope Sony works things out.

 

[Raestloz]

Aw, damn, I was expecting 3000, what do you mean with problem screen anyway?

 

[cosmo2389]

Aw, damn, I was expecting 3000, what do you mean with problem screen anyway?

It has interlacing issues that lead to very noticeable horizontal lines appearing across the screen.

 

[Raestloz]

Yeah, just seen the topic, is the interlace so obvious to naked eye? The screen says so, but then again, another screen seems fine to me

 

[cosmo2389]

Not sure... But people say it is very bad and noticeable when watching videos.

 

[Raestloz]

ew, and here I am expecting to hold a PSP-3000 in January.

Well, I hope they will release PSP-3000 again in a better version... I still have to pay for my DS

I credited it

This is not good news in general. Without a new PSP, the chances of game developers making new PSP games or porting over current games from PS3 are much lower. No developers wants to spend resources on a dying platform. If the PSP3000 is having a problem, it could spell the end of us(PSP Phat and PSP Slim owners) getting newer and better games as well.

 

[gizmo_gal]

I doubt it. PSP still has a big fanbase--maybe not as big as DS, but big enough. and the 3000 wasn't new technology, just an updated presentation of the same thing with an "improved advanced" display on the screen. (LOL)

At heart its the same machine as the PSP 1000. There will still be a few dozen more games, I'm guessing for PSP users. If nothing else you've got a handy emulation device,
