The PSP-2000 model does have a very visible advantage over at least one aspect of the PSP-3000. Scan lines are more visible than ever due to the new technology at work on the 3000's screen.
Sony did issue a statement on the problem.
So far a number of gamers haven't been too satisfied with the 3000 model. It may have a larger color palette and better anti-glare, but with reports of "cheap" feeling plastic, poor image quality in sunlight, and now visible scanlines it may be that Sony has to go back to the drawing board.

Sony did issue a statement on the problem.
"On some occasions, scan lines may appear on scenes where brightness changes drastically, due to the hardware features of the new LCD device on PSP-3000. Installed with this new LCD device, PSP-3000 offers more natural and vibrant colors on its screen, but the scan lines have come out to be more visible as a result of improving response time to alleviate the afterimages on PSP-3000. Since this is due to hardware specification, there are no plans for a system software update concerning this issue."
As noted, there is no way to simply update the software to fix the issue.So far a number of gamers haven't been too satisfied with the 3000 model.
