This apparently, makes it the fastest-selling Playstation One download game since the service started. Next week, Microsoft will assuredly announce some level of Xbox Live one-upping to deflate this. Stay tuned.

Kojima-san popped up yet again @ E3, this time at SCEA’s conference to announce Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP. It seems that this entry in the series will be a return to the more traditional Metal Gear Solid gameplay, and may be following Solid Snake instead of Big Boss.

If that isn’t enough, Square sent us the newest trailer for the release, just to remind you of how incredible Final Fantasy 7 looks.

Behold and drool.

Replacing the current PSP-2000, also known as the PSP Slim, the PSP-3000 will boast a number of new features. Most notable of those are the new high contrast LCD as well as a built-in mic. The LCD will also sport a better response time, better color representation and an anti-reflection technology to help increase visibility in well-lit areas.

The built-in microphone will allow users take advantage of games with voice features, Skype and other communication tools without requiring any additional accessories.

The video output port on the PSP-3000 will include interlace support. What this means is that gamers that couldn’t take advantage of the feature on the PSP-2000 due to it being progressive only (HD) will be able to play PSP content directly on their non-HD TVs.

The system is due to release in Piano Black, Pearl White and Mystic Silver. The new units are due for release worldwide in October 2008.
