No, I’m NOT buying another PSP!
October 14th, 2008 by Tam I MToday was the offical launch of the Sony PSP-3000, the third incarnation of the Sony Playstation Portable. Of course I ran out and bought the original PSP on launch day. I still own the original phat PSP and LOVE it. Of course it’s running custom firmware with homebrew capability. Also, when the PSP-2000 (aka PSP slim) came out, I was quick to jump on the bandwagon. I loved the slim form factor and it also made a great present for my wife 
The main reason I wanted it was the ability to connect it to my tv, a feature that the phat PSP lacked. Once plugged into my TV in the bedroom, I then use remote play to control my PS3 downstairs and stream my media to the bedroom. Entertainment magic!
But now Sony wants me to shell out another $200 bucks for an even newer PSP. Sorry Sony, this time it’s not gonna happen. First off, the economy sucks and I’m broke. Second, I already have two PSP’s and my wife will LITERALLY kill me if I buy a third. And third, I really don’t see a reason to buy this one. Yeah, the screen is much nicer and it has a built-in microphone, but hell, who actually USES Skype. It’s funny because there is so much talk about Skype, but I have yet to meet someone who actually uses it. Just about everyone has created a Skype account, but no one that I know is actually using it. Not sure what Sony’s thinking with this version of the PSP, but I can’t think of anything that will justify me buying it. But if you don’t have a PSP already, I can’t recommend this awesome portable enough!
