Want to know just how much better the new LCD screen in the upcoming PSP model is? Look no further, as Famitsu has posted a side-by-side comparison that compares the new PSP-3000 (bottom) and the PSP-2000 (top) models.

The redesigned PSP model, other than featuring a better screen, will feature a built-in microphone for gaming and Skype applications. It is slated to hit stores worldwide this October.

North Americans will get it on October 14 as part of a $199 Ratchet & Clank Entertainment pack bundle, which offers a copy of the game, a download code for echochrome, a copy of National Treasure 2 on UMD and a 1GB memory stick.
