I would still like to see the screen in person my self...Sure a photo/video is going ot pick up WAY more problems than the human eye can see..maybe it was a fluke that someone was taking a photo of the screen to show off the color difference and that is how they stumbled on the interlacing....i don't know cause i havent seen it in person..

i too have a fat black that took buying and returning 3 psp *all were 1.51* until i got to lucky number 4 which had 1.50 firmware on it waaaay back then :D

Then last year a week before official release date, a friend of a friend that works at gamestop called me up and said the slim are in and i should come buy one :D  That is definitely my favorite, but i was glad to have my fat still cause i used a real old IR test program that controls robosapiens and used it on my new femisapien that a guy at work gave me for fixing his and his sons laptops :)

If the 3000 is available in blue in less than a year, THAT will be my next psp...or the psp2...but first i need me a ps3 :P
