Scanlines be damned, Sony's latest iteration of the PSP -- known as PSP-3000 or PSP Brite -- has sold 141,270 units in its first four days of launch in Japan (October 16-19), reports Famitsu. Though a marked improvement over the handheld's current sales trend in the region (approximately 25K each week), PSPHyper notes that the the last update (PSP-2000, a.k.a. Slim) sold 130,000 in its first day of launch, and 250,702 for its first 3 days.
According to the report, 14,450 units of the earlier PSP models were also sold between October 13 and 19 for a total of 155,720 for this week's Japanese hardware sales.

Being a non-handheld gamer, how bad is the issue? I've seen the comparison pics but the close-up is so big it looks shit regardless.

The stores with a "no return policy" better start recruiting a private army or something...

I bought one of these, and have absolutely no problem with it at all, this is the first time I've bought a PSP and I love it. The screen is beautiful and I can't get enough of Final Fantasy Tactics and Jeanne D'Arc on it.

I'm so eager to get one because I've never owned a PSP. Didn't really want one till recently and the PSP-3000 could be my reason to get one! But, I'm a little reluctant because of the complaints I've been hearing.
