The USA versions seem like a better deal than others. i checked at amazon and found out there are 2 packages:



PSP 3000 Limited Edition Ratchet and Clank Entertainment Pack

• Contains a Mystic Silver PSP-3000 system, AC power cord, AC Adaptor, and Battery Pack
• 1 gb Memory Stick PRO Duo

PSP 3000 Limited Edition 4GB Memory Entertainment Pack

• AC power cord and AC adaptor
• Battery pack
• 4 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo
• Everyday Shooter PLAYSTATION Network Voucher

The new features:
1) Better screen with faster respond time and increased color reproduction.
2) Built-in microphone

I hope the built quality is much more better than the psp slim 2000 model.

PSP Extended 2200MAH Battery

Got myself another PSP Extended 22ooMAH battery from www.play-asia.com. This battery can add another 83.33% battery life to my psp slim. Almost double play time of the original 1200MAH battery. It makes my psp 2000 (psp slim) a little bit bulky, but not that much. The most important thing is i got more than 10 hours battery life in just a single charge. It's a must have item when i am on long trips without access to a plug.

Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness for PSP (English Version)

Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness is a great strategy game. The PSP version supports multiplayer via adhoc wireless. Now, i can play it anywhere i want. You can get a copy for $14.90 at www.play-asia.com

CPS3 Emulator for PSP (FBA modded version)

Just noticed that there is a modded version of FBA (FBA-LB V9-4), it can run CPS3 game. I tried the Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike. It's too slow. About 10 to 15 fps. Hopefully the next version will be faster or an option to disable sound to get faster speed.
Btw, you must have the japanese rom, sfiiin.zip in order to successfully run this game.
