Update: Guess what? It is getting a 3000 series upgrade! According to SCEA's Al de Leon, the PSP billboard will be getting a new and improved screen -- just like the PSP-3000. (Let's hope this doesn't have the scanline issue.)

Aww, I loved seeing that there whenever I passed Houston. Sad to see it go.

So so sad. I'm going to miss seeing the ad for Star Wars Battlefront and NBA2x for the millionth time.

That sucks. it was a pretty nice installation-esque ad . . . now how about a white PSP on a black background?

Or maybe they're planning to make a killing off of some sort of viral eBay thing.

Yeah I saw that thing pretty recently and noticed how fucked the screen was. It has been up for a long time and it was kind of embarrassing to see the PSP represented in such a way. Good to hear that it's getting upgraded.
