The revised PSP-3000 model will arrive on October 17th in the (and Europe, we believe), and will cost 149.99 GBP.

The current Slim & Lite edition retails for about 139.99 GBP usually, so this gadget is a little pricier.

That said, it does boast a brighter screen, a built-in mic, and there will also be special edition Silver model bundled with Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters for 199 Euro on the continent.

November will also see offering a festive-themed bundle in black, including a 4GB memory stick alongside the usual kit, for the same price as the R&C offering.

The Slim & Lite model could be cut in price as Sony clear stocks. We'll keep you in the loop.
