It's a tradeoff for having the only PSP useable outdoors on anything brighter than a heavily overcast day. The 3000 is the only PSP with a transflective display.
Southrop:
If i recall correctly, the improved screen performance and the scanlines are caused by the same thing: they decided to align something horizontally instead of vertically like they did with previous screens. In other words, it's a sacrifice that had to be made for the improved quality and brightness. And to be honest, it's usually hugely OMGWTFBBQ noticeable unless you play some fast action games (Gundam VS Gundam comes to mind).
kenshin-dono:
well thats a 'compromise' that they just shouldn't have made if its really that bad. Im really surprised this isn't a wider known issue if it looks this terrible. Most of the griping seemed to be about the interlacing which doesn't look as noticable, but these scanlines are HORRIBLE I really should try to see it myself. Are there any games it stands out in that they would mostl ikey have at a gamestop? I'll try to go into one and see if they'll load a psp3000 up with metal slug or something if i can, but they may not have that. Any 2d game that may be common and has these horrible lines very obviously? I was thinking disgaea or something but its got a long opening and i dont want to make theg uy wait 10 minutes to play the game.
well this really sucks. I wanted the god of war pack coming out but if it looks this shitty i may have to try to get a psp 2000. Honestly i dont think the new screen looks all that much better than the older one. brighter yes, but brighter is NOT always better. In fact it rarely is in my opinion. I like to game in a room with blackout shades and i have my tvs backlight low. When stuffs too bright you lose detail and some accuracy of the colors IMO. Shadows look particularly blasted. In Most of these scan line/interlacing shots i prefer the psp 2000 look but i seriously thought they were being biased or something and not taking accurate photos.
It really is OMGWTFBBQ noticable all the time southdrop? Im guessing youve seen it in action? any games where it will stand out?
im really bummed now i thought this would be an easy buy. Anyone got an answer to my battery pack question btw? I was also gonna ask what kinda memory sticks it uses. I know they have the sony psp ones, but can you buy larger versions they make for their other devices? id like a 16 or 32 gig one

PSPs use Memory stick PRO duo. Amazon US website filtered for 16GB+ cards
