The 4.3-inch screen has a wider color range and an anti-glare finish, so it holds up better near a window. A microphone is built into the front, so games and voice chat features could use it without an add-on. The 3000 can also send games to a TV through the PSP video cable, including interlaced output for older sets. Wi-Fi, a Memory Stick PRO Duo slot for saves and the swappable battery carry over from earlier models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA UMD library worth building\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PSP's discs, called UMDs, hold some of the strongest handheld games of their time. God of War: Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta brought Kratos to a portable. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Persona 3 Portable still draw players, and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite built a following around local co-op hunts. The PSP also plays UMD movies, and it can hold music and video on a Memory Stick. Downloaded PSP games and PS one Classics run from the Memory Stick as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChecking a used PSP-3000\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the UMD door and make sure it latches, since the hinge and the drive see the most wear. The disc should spin up without loud clicking. Push the analog nub around, because it can loosen over time, and try every button along the shoulders. The battery is removable, so a weak one can be replaced, and charge life varies by unit. A Memory Stick PRO Duo card is needed to save games and is included only if listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePSP-3000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePSP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandheld\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlays\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePSP games and movies on UMD, plus downloaded PSP games\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePSP AC adapter or USB for charging, Memory Stick PRO Duo for saves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2008 (US launch)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAre PSP games region locked?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003ePSP games on UMD are region free, so the PSP-3000 plays games from Japan, Europe and North America.
