PSP-3000 sneaks out a bit early, suffers an unboxing

Due to be launched next Tuesday, the PSP-3000 Ratchet & Clank Entertainment Pack has managed to slip into at least one Best Buy a few days early, where it was quickly snatched up by friendly tipster Aaron G. He sent us a few unboxing shots out of the kindness of his heart, and now he's undoubtedly too engrossed in National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets and that ultra-bright screen to pay us much heed. Oh Nicolas Cage, what a charmer you are.

not bad.

One of the rare times when someone actually shot accurate, un-blurred photos of the unboxing...

You didn't know? Today is Mr. Blurrycam's day off.

eh i just saw one of these at k-mart. i just figured it was a 2000 model until i looked closer at it and i figured out it was a 3000 model.

Then why didn't you get it and sell it on ebay for profit?

You wouldn't have been able to buy it anyway. Their systems will not allow it to be sold before the programmed street date. It shouldn't have even been put out in the case. I went to a walmart last night and saw one in the case so I was going to buy it. They couldn't sell it to me because the system wouldn't allow it. Managers can't even override it. They were told to put it out even though they can't sell it yet......bastards

I wonder when the true successor is going to come out. I'm kinds tired of all these bundles and alight redesigns. I think Sony could easily make a new PSP with all the features that everyone wants.

Shame how no one says that for each GBA and DS edition that came out.

[Esat Dedezade Posted Oct 12th 2008 6:48AM]

[Jayss Posted Oct 12th 2008 2:39PM]

Its a shame its Monday the 13th, not the 12th. Good try though.

[JustEric Posted Oct 12th 2008 7:55PM]

Doesn't an "unboxing" typically imply that the device is actually . . . oh, I don't know . . . unboxed? As in, removed from the box?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 12th 2008 7:55PM]

from a packaging nazi standpoint, it's really a shame to see plastic used inside the box in place of cardboard, not to mention the large size of the box itself.

Hm.. I still don't get why Sony is pushing that dead UMD format...

I guess they can't decide if videos show be in HD or not... :P

[ZaxCG2 Posted Oct 13th 2008 10:02AM]

OH GAWD I NEED IT. MUST. HAVE. PS BUTTON. Every day I look at my PSP 1000 and cringe at the sight of the button with the feeble uncool label of "HOME".

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 14th 2008 11:28AM]

I'm sure that's a 1 GB Pro Duo card in the box, wasn't it suppose to be a 4 GB Card?
