I've been a fan since I got my launch PSP. And my 2 other ones in the years following. I REALLY like the look of this new model. Even if it doesn't have wifi, it's really slick looking. And hey maybe it will have a better screen than the 3000. Also perhaps the speakers are tucked under the bottom like with the 1000 and the thing up top is a useless mic? *Shrug* even if it's Mono that's hardly a big deal. The PSP speakers are crap anyways, anyone serious about playing one should have it hooked to a good pair of headphones or a decent stereo system.
