Sony officially unveiled the third-generation PSP yesterday, with a PS button, built-in mic and an improved LCD screen. Our friends at Engadget Japanese have learned a few more details straight from Sony about how exactly the screen has improved. Compared to the PSP-2000, the new 3000 model has twice the color gamut, five times the contrast ratio and, what we're most excited about, a response time that's twice as fast. The PSP-3000 is arriving on North American shores in mid-October.
Update: LCD's response is twice as fast, meaning the response time itself is halved. Fixed, thanks everyone!

Guy 1: Check it out, the new PSP 3000. It's got wi-fi, faster screen, better battery, and hooks up to a TV.
Guy 2: Oh yeah? I have a PSP 1000. It has wifi and a great screen, also PS3 connectivity and built in anti-theft.
Guy one: Built in anti-theft?
Guy 2 Chucks his PSP phat at guy one's head. Guy one falls unconscious.
I love that commercial, and my heavy phat PSP1 with built in anti-theft features.
