That's great news.

It will definitely be worth anyone looking for a new PSP to get a PSP3000 over the older PSP2000 slim model if it can run custom firmware, because the 3000 does have a much improved screen (higher contrast and better in bright day light), but the new built in microphone is really only useful for SOCOM or Skye users, so if you already have a PSP then it isn't worthwhile upgrading as there is little else different between this new version and the old slim model.
