The '''PSP-3000''' series (unofficially nicknamed the '''PSP Brite'''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pspfanboy.com/2008/08/21/psp-3000-screen-is-berry-colorful/|title=PSP-3000 screen is berry colorful| date=2008-08-21| publisher=PSP Fanboy| accessdate=2008-10-05}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/22/psp-brite-outshines-older-model/| title=PSP Brite outshines older model| publisher=Joystiq| date=2008-08-22| accessdate=2008-10-05}}</ref>) is an update of the [[PlayStation Portable Slim and Lite]].

== System changes ==
In comparison to the [[PSP-2000]], the PSP-3000 has an improved LCD screen with an increased colour range, five times the contrast ratio, half the pixel response time to reduce ghosting and blurring effects, and anti-reflective technology to improve outdoor playability.<ref name="Sony PSP-3000 Hands-On">http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6196930/index.html</ref> The screen draws more current than the screen for the PSP-2000, initially causing a reduction in the console's battery life by "about 20 minutes" according to SCEA director of hardware marketing John Koller.<ref name="Sony PSP-3000 Hands-On" /> However, he released a statement retracting this comment, saying that, "the screen of the new PSP draws a little more power" but he claims that, "our engineers in Japan worked to reduce the power consumption of the overall system including its components."<ref>http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/09/03/new-psp%E2%80%99s-battery-life-equivalent-to-current-psp/</ref> It has an integrated microphone, the goal of which is to establish the PSP as "a viable communication device" according to Sony Europe boss David Reeves.<ref name="Tweaked PSP due out in October">http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=219005</ref> PSP games will now be playable on interlaced (non-progressive scan) televisions via composite video cables.<ref name="Sony PSP-3000 Hands-On">http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6196930/index.html</ref> The start and select buttons have changed from semi-circles to ovals, with the home button being replaced by a "PS Button" similar to the PS3's [[DualShock#DualShock_3|DualShock 3]].<ref name="Gamespot Release Article">http://www.gamespot.com/news/6196290.html</ref>
