You may have seen some of these ads running on your TV lately, and it's partly due to a new ad campaign set up by Sony to continue promotion of the Playstation Portable. This is obviously in light to the newly released PSP-3000 or as some like to call it, the PSP-Lite. The Playstation Blog goes into explain how the process of acheived and how it also is going into effect with the Playstation 3.
With the announcement of the new PSP-Brite or PSP 3000, which ever you want to call it we now get a good glimpse at the box art. This box art showcases the PSP's new Wi-Fi store. You can check it out in full detail on its Amazon.com page which lists the retail price as $199.
Just like the DS before it, the PSP will be getting its own update and an added microphone capability to give the PSP more functionality with its game library among future developer uses. A new memory stick duo size was announced bringing to 4 GB as well and will all be bundled together nicely for an MSRP price tag of $199.99.
The new PSP retains the size and features of the current, slimmed-down PSP (PSP-2000), while incorporating some hardware updates:
The LCD screen will have a wider color gamut and higher contrast ratio to deliver deeper, more vibrant colors, as well as anti-reflection technology so you can see the screen more clearly when playing outdoors. As you all know, the PSP’s screen is a key strength of the hardware, and this update adds an absolutely dazzling LCD screen to the handheld.
A built-in microphone allows for Skype calls and multi-player gaming communication directly from the hardware - eliminating the need for attaching a separate headset.

I'm not quite sure if I'd go with a brightly colored blue PSP, but for those Madden fanatics who wouldn't care either way, you can now buy the Madden Entertainment now available at your local games store. The pack contains Madden 09, a blue Playstation Portable, memory stick duo card, In Just One Play, and Beats and the pack is obvioulsy geared towards football fans. Unfortunately the blue more or less represents the New York Giants colors, so fans of other teams might have to suffer. The pack is available for a scary $199.99.
Sony Playstation Blog has let in on some new details regarding a new PSP color that will be releasing the States this fall.
