Sony announces PSP 3000

At their press conference at The Leipzig Games Convention, Sony dropped word on a new, improved PlayStation Portable. The PSP 3000 will be out this fall in Europe. While it will look much like the current generation of PSP, the new models will feature:

* Skype (!): Your PSP could also be your cell phone.
* A brighter screen
* Built-in Microphone

It will cost 199 Euros. That's $299 bucks. But the North American price may end up being different, of course.
