    cjoyce1980: Because it's only a few people complaining about it. It's not really an issue as you don't notice it unless you go looking for it.

    Way to take things out of context!

    Even if this means there may be another hardware change in the future that corrects this, early adopters are screeeeewed.

    I used to find the ghosting was only visable on a couple of games (mainly disgaea and patapon) so i wounder how many games are greatly affected by this.

    They should just use OLEDs and be done with it.

    It can't be too pricey for such a small screen.. and it'd save so much space.

    Sounds to me like the PSP uses (and always used) an interlaced screen/drawing system, it's just that it was hidden by the poor refresh rate of the old display. Now it's got a newer, faster and better defined screen, the interlacing shows through, to the detriment of the games.

    Next hardware revision: hardware deinterlacer and progressive-scan LCD. Oh, and $200 extra.

    You know I am GLAD that I didn't get the New PSP. I have the PSP-2000 Model and I was looking into getting the New One. I called GameStop and asked the personal there opinion and he told me up-front, if you have the PSP-2000 Model, then don't get the new one and after reading this article, I am glad that I listen to him and a Big thx for Bit-Tech for the article. To Sony ut's all about making Money. And I really don't see the point to What is the BIG DIFFERENCE between PSP-2000 and PSP-3000. Who cares about little add-ons. My Two Cents

    P.S. Fusion

    sounds to me Anakha has the only possible logical conclusion instead of calling a sony out on foul play.

    Quite frankly, I'm surprised by all of this ******** fuss over such small details on an even smaller screen. Is it really the biggest issue when you're playing it against the afternoon sun?
