Difference Between PSP 1000 and PSP 3000 Games: Zero—Same UMD Library

Zero difference. Both models play the exact same UMD (Universal Media Disc) game library.

Hardware Differences (Non-Game)

Feature	PSP-1000 (Fat)	PSP-3000 (Brite)
Screen	4.3" 480x272, 60 Hz, ghosting	4.3" 480x272, 60 Hz, anti-glare, 5x contrast, wider gamut (scanline artifact on some)
Microphone	No	Built-in (bottom)
Video Out	Component (progressive) + Composite	Component (interlaced only) + Composite + HDMI via AV cable hack (not official)
Weight	280 g	189 g
Battery	1800 mAh (BA) / 2200 mAh (extended)	1200 mAh (smaller bay)
PS Button	No (Home = "PS" logo)	Yes (dedicated)
Skype / Go!Messenger	No	Supported (mic + faster CPU)

All PSP games (UMD) work on both.
All PS1 Classics (PBP) work on both.
All Minis work on both.
Homebrew/Emulators: 3000's faster CPU (same 333 MHz but better memory controller) helps slightly.

Note: PSP Go (no UMD) plays only digital (PSN / converted ISOs). PSP Street (E1000) = 3000 internals, no Wi-Fi, mono speaker, cheaper screen.
