LEIPZIG, Germany--Today at its press conference at the Leipzig Games Convention, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe came out swinging. Presenter SCEE head David Reeves wasted little time in unveiling two new models of his company’s top gaming devices, the PlayStation Portable and the PlayStation 3.

First off, Reeves formally announced the PSP-3000, which had been rumored for several months. The model will come with a built-in microphone and a "new screen that will "reduce any glare that the user may experience." The handheld will arrive on the 15th October in Europe via eight €199 bundles, three of which will include FIFA 09, Harry Potter, and Buzz! Master Quiz. On the same day, the handheld will also be released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand; no North American release details are yet public.

Hardly breaking stride, Reeves quickly wheeled to the subject of a new 160GB PS3, which will touch down in Europe on October 31st. Priced at €449, the new console SKU will come with 70 euros' worth of 'additional downloadable' content that will vary from country to country. Reeves offered no information about its release in other territories.

Next up, the executive dated two other highly anticipated PS3 projects. The first was PlayTV, which launches in UK on September 19th and the rest of Europe later in the year. Announced at GC 2007, PlayTV is a digital video recorder (DVR) which will bring TiVo-like TV tuning and recording functionality to Sony's console. Currently, the service is only planned for Europe.

Next up was the official dating of LittleBigPlanet, the award-winning PS3 platformer from British indie studio Media Molecule. Set for European release on Sunday, October 19th, the highly customizable game's easy-to-use toolset and family-friendly cast of "Sackboy" characters aims to expand the PS3's user base. "I believe this game is going to be a huge success and change people's perceptions of gaming," said Reeves.

GC '08: PSP-3000, 160GB PS3 unveiled - News at GameSpot
 
Nothing that gr8 to upgrade to... I was really expecting Sony to include some inbuilt memory and maybe better wifi...
 
-The image quality on the new LCD screen is dramatically enhanced.

The new LCD screen adopts an anti-reflection technology. enables users to see the screen more clearly in well-lit places, even when used outdoors.

-The video-out port is also expanded to output gameplay in interlace format, which will allow new PSP users to enjoy games on non-progressive TVs. This means non HDTVs as well.

-The built-in microphone will allow users to easily enjoy games that utilize a microphone, as well as Skype and other communication tools.

These psp would be armed with a V3 motherboard (unpandorizable TA-088 ).

V3 Wont allow u to run the pandora or make one either.

Only worthy inclusion seems to be the Non HDTV o/p ability to lure the ppl.

Seems like Sony's ploy to start testing its new Pandora proof psps ...
 
a mic and screen that doesn't glare? this is lamer than the slim upgrade over the fat was.

but i guess they can't just come out and say they are doing this to incorporate the new anti-pandora technology.
 
nothing new features to ps3 apart from a huge space.nothing revolutionary yet except sony are trying to tie down piracy
 
u r jumping as if we got a way to hack it already .. :)

or u r that interested in purchasing all the legit games for the psp .. ;)

yeah I m interested in new PSP, could buy a few genuine titles but not all ;)

Buggers have not powered the CPU even a bit more.

Will donate few moolah to Alex if he comes with PSP3k hack.

But for sure with PSP3k launch 'Ratchet and Clank' will become a topseller title.
