Is the PSP 3000 a worthy upgrade?

There are so many things to do with a weekend and we can only assume that commenting on our wonderful forum is definitely one of them.

Just in case it's not however, this is a warning. Actually, more of a veiled threat: if you don't comment on the forum, we'll hunt you down and force you to watch as we liquidize iPhones in a blender. That's not that veiled really is it, but it is a threat, so consider yourself thoroughly warned (threatened).

Anyway…

The Leipzig GC saw the surprise announcement of a new PSP model, to much whooping and back slapping.

But is it the upgrade we have all been waiting for? Is a built in microphone really necessary? Is the PSP's current screen really desperately in need of replacement? Is a two-tier retail model for the PSP a bit too much to ask for of a handheld? Indeed, is €200 too much to ask for a console that's already been around for four years? Shouldn't Sony just concentrate on hooking those all important third party developers that the DS has so many of?

Admittedly these questions are somewhat loaded, but I'm sure you lot, the clever bunch that you are, can take this to pieces and provide some much needed insight.
