Just got a silver 3000. And noticed something wrong right away. 

 

Yes the color gamut is wider, yes the black levels are lower, but this screen now has what look like scanlines that were not visible on PSP's before. Even worse, THERE ARE VERY VISIBLE INTERLACING ISSUES NOW. VERY NOTICEABLE IN R&C SIZE MATTERS. I am not happy about my "upgrade".

 

I traded in my perfect 2000 series with a silky smooth screen and great color for this? Yes the 2000's screen ghosted a little but it looked much better than this "new" screen with scanlines and with interlacing problems!!!

 

PSP owners, what the hell is going on?

UPDATE: Further into the thread I posted a pair of images that illustrate the interlacing issue I am talking about.

Yep, I noticed the same thing.  I am quite POed about that since I did the same as you and traded my 2000 for it.  Nation Treasure 2 looks the same but when I put in FFVII:AC it still looks very nice.  Be sure to email Sony about the issue, I am in a little while.

The problem is a little hard to spot at first, especially if you are not used to looking at a PSP-2000's screen. But trust me, it's there. On everyones PSP-3000.
The interlacing errors are very noticeable in R&C, I don't know how you are missing it. It's hard to explain what it looks like.

Since the game is old, that could be why its happening, games to be released later will not have this problem.
