While there have been some rumors floating around about a new PSP model, there was no official word from Sony on when we would be seeing a new model, if at all.

Well, the secret’s out as Sony has officially unveiled its latest addition to the PSP line at Leipzig, the PSP-3000.

Featuring nothig more than a built in mic and new glare-proof, more colorfull screen, we don’t expect PSP owners to rush to their local game store waiting for the release of this thing. I mean, with a new model number like 3000, I would expect a complete redesign.

The PSP-3000 will launch on October 15th in PAL territories for around $300.
