Welcome to 140,000 pissed off people with screen issues...
PSP 2000 FTW!

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.

And you know what the really awesome thing is? Most stores in Japan don't have a return policy unless the product is defective.

People just like to complain about everything.
The screen is just perfect is a minor price to pay, the screen looks way better.

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.
