The PSP-3000, which will be available in Japan, Asia, North America and Europe, has the
same basic design of the current PSP Slim and Lite, and comes in three colours -- black,
white and silver.
It can be used to make telephone calls through the Skype service, which Sony added to PSPs
already on the market earlier this year in an effort to broaden its appeal amid fierce
competition with rival Nintendo Co.
The new PSP comes with a price tag of 199.99 dollars in North America and 199 euros (294
dollars) in Europe. The price for Asia has not yet been announced.
Sony aims to sell 15 million PSPs worldwide in the current fiscal year to March 2009.
"Demand for the consoles is still strong, especially in the United States," Sony Computer
Entertainment Inc. spokeswoman Yoko Sakaki said.

Kidnapping jumped almost 40 percent between 2004 and 2007 in Mexico, according to
official statistics. Mexico ranks with conflict zones like Iraq and Colombia as among the worst
countries for abductions.
The recent kidnapping and murder of Fernando Marti, 14, the son of a well-known
businessman, sparked an outcry in a country already hardened to crime.
More people, including a growing number of middle-class Mexicans, are seeking out the tiny
chip designed by Xega, a Mexican security firm whose sales jumped 13 percent this year.
The company said it had more than 2,000 clients. Detractors say the chip is little more than a
gadget that serves no real security purpose.
The company injects the crystal-encased chip, the size and shape of a grain of rice, into
clients' bodies with a syringe. A transmitter in the chip then sends radio signals to a larger
device carried by the client with a global positioning system in it, Xega says. A satellite can
then pinpoint the location of a person in distress.

QUERETARO, Mexico (Reuters) - Affluent Mexicans, terrified of
soaring kidnapping rates, are spending thousands of dollars to
implant tiny transmitters under their skin so satellites can help
find them tied up in a safe house or stuffed in the trunk of a car.
