Sony clarifies UK PSP-3000 release
The previously announced European PSP-3000 bundles might not see their way across the English channel. According to GamesIndustry.biz, The bundles for the silver PSP-Brite with Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and the black PSP-Brite with a 4GB Memory Stick remain a continental affair that might not be seen in the UK at all. That leaves Britons with future packs for Go! communication, FIFA, Harry Potter, and Buzz! Master Quiz.
In addition to this, Sony corrected previously known information regarding British prices and dates, saying that the £149.99 price tag and October 17 date are set for a bundle yet to be revealed. A stand-alone system will be released in the UK sometime after the launch of the new bundles.
As for the rest of Europe, you should not worry. You're still getting all eight promised bundles with the R&C pack hitting the market first on October 15 for €199.99 as previously announced. The 4GB Memory pack will release across the European continent in "early November."

Shock, horror... No, wait, I'm used to be shafted by Sony/SCEE!
This comes as no surprise at all; why should SCEE start treating us the same way that SCEJ treats its customers?

a bundle yet to be revealed? well then that excludes patapon and dissidia because they are yet to be announced for an internationa release. Hmmm..

This is a mighty big "D'oh!" to UK customers. I wouldn't be surprised if some Hardcore gamers' loyalty, (since casual PSP ones don't read fanboy.com) just dropped a ton of points.

Is it true or rumor that the PSP 3000 can support TV output in non-progressive mode also?
