Kotaku have tracked down a comparison held between the PSP 2001 and PSP 3000. Now the original site was in a foreign language (my ignorance narrows it down to Taiwanese or Klingon) so the information will be presented here in pictures. And that’s all we need really, isn’t it? The feature list for the new version is a little thin.

The above photo I believe shows the screens anti-glare ability… Yup, the 3000 is the less glary. Below is the update that will make sure you take the correct one out with you, the expansion and chroming of the ring on the back.

PlayStation LifeStyle decided to take a look at what the hidden differences may be in the Updated Slim PSP-3000 model. There may be more changes than you are hearing about…Comparing the info at the bottom of the PSP-3000 SCEA press release with the info from the current PSP-2000 support page, we were able to spot a few key differences. Aside from the greatly increased contrast ratio, we found:
PSP-2000 Slim PSP-3000 Updated Slim
Weight 280g 189g w/ battery 189g w/ battery
Video Output Progressive TV support Progressive TVs supported, interlace format support via separate cables
Audio Input External headset / microphone required Microphone built-in
Key/Switches HOME button HOME button replaced with PS Button
Source PSP Support SCEA Press Release

Does the Updated Slim PSP-3000 really weigh that much less? It’s probably a typo or some “eyeballed” weight guesses. But we’re hoping to get clarification from Sony. [Update: It appears Sony never updated the PlayStation.com PSP information page to show the updated weight when the PSP-2000 was released.]
