As if the previous announcement of the PSP Firmware 4.00 release wasn’t enough to get you excited, Sony has come up with another update to keep you on your toes. Unfortunately all that is promised in 4.01 are some bug fixes to the new features found in 4.00, which weren’t exactly too amazing either.

Not a big deal was made of it, but just announced by Sony at their Leipzeg press conference is the PSP-3000. We’ll cut to the chase here, how exactly is the redesigned PSP-3000 better than its bigger brothers? Well, the answer is not very much.
The PSP-3000 will have no external redesign whatsoever and will look exactly like the PSP-2000. Whats changed under the hood is the presence of a screen that works better outdoors and apparently is able to resist glare, as well as a built-in microphone, something that will excite Skype users who will now be able to use their PSP as a Internet phone without any cumbersome addons.
If you asked me though, these added features are pretty underwhelming, what with all the hype of an internal hard disk, more ram, and a second analogue stick, that PSP fans had been speculating about before the official announcement.
What Sony is more likely to be after is the release of a PSP version with a more hacker-resistant motherboard, the last couple of versions were easily compromised by hackers and Sony will be looking to hold off the pirates with the newest release of the PSP-3000.
The PSP-3000 will be released in Europe on October 15th, and will be available in 8 different packages, each bundled with a different game.
So what do you think? Are these new features enough to make you buy a new PSP? Or is this minor redesign simply an attempt by Sony to make a quick buck?
