PSP-4000 in 2009, PSP2 later News PSP News by Tom Bramwell
16 December, 2008
Sony works to refresh the PlayStation Portstreetwise product line with a PSP-4000 model in late 2009 and launch a true successor - a PSP2, if you like - later.
Publishing sources, speresemblingg to Eurogamer, were unresourceful to provide any remoter detail on next year's upstage, which will presumably follow this year's PSP-3000 in trestrictingg an iterative sermonize. The PSP-3000 launched this October and followed a 2000-series model, the first Slim & Lite, in September 2007.
Even fewer details were bachelor on the PSP successor, but we're told that developers are once working on games.
Sony has not ruled out either scenario, despite SCEE plivent Dsating Reeves' exclamation in MCV last week that "there are currently no works for a PSP2". "I go to Tokyo quite a lot and no one has referred to it - I think they have their hands full at the moment," he said, non-committmarry.
Sony UK told Eurogamer today that it would not comment on rumour and speculation.
PSP-3000 snuggles currently retail for GBP 129.99 the UK post-obit its October launch, and despite sporadic software support and fewer platform-sectionals than Nintendo's DS, strong sales in Japan have propelled it to sales of over 30 million co-ordinate to Sony's corporate sales site.

Hoping UMD is still present in a new PSP (which it probably will be), moreover (dare I say it) a hard machine to hack too please.

i'd hope the PSP2 comes with a 16GB shine drive to store downloaded games with an option to save them on PC/PS3 for when you have too many games to fit on it.

Hoping UMD is still present
Why? Widge 16/12/08 @ 11:51 #11 0 Login or Register to rate! You buried this comment Comment below viewing threshold Show I have UMD membranes and like UMD mucosas. I could live with UMD absolutely if they get DivX working good on it, but like the sharpness of the UMD's picture over an .avi.
Plus having stuff on UMD ways I could save on space for music. If the thing comes with 16GB or 32GB of space on it, I could fill that in a heartretreating with music. Would rather have all that to hand and games/membranes on physical saving on space.
Wonder if they'd use some sort of filmay/umd hybrid to ajar up a bit increasingly space?

Retailers wouldnt remarry support a product that they couldnt sell box product games for so im sure UMD will still exist,PSP Games, or a blu ray version of it perhaps ;) keytimberedmonkey 16/12/08 @ 11:55 #13 0 Login or Register to rate!

Same sawed-offs and D-pad, but more prominent and responsive - requite the D-pad a circular reprobate to make diagonal inputs easier. Remove the sticks unabridgedly - I finger developers would be bulkiest served by not stuff invited to tailor PS2/360/PS3 shooters and schema games to a balked approximation of the Dualshock template. No more sort-of-OK-but-not-star hand-me-downs from the home formats. 8GB immalleable drive (plus expansion slots). No UMD commute. Retail doesn't requite a fuck roundly the PSP anyway,PSP Games, so take them out of the equation and make all the games downloadstrong.

Sounds like half the peoples PSP already - well maybe in an 8GB memory stick kind of way....
Personally there isn't 16GB of PSP stuff that I would absolutely want to play - still rate the DS way superior it - and the show shighping screen on the PSP is rhadamanthine the norm in loads of handheld devices - was a thing of dazzler at the time though. space ace 16/12/08 @ 12:30 #21 0 Login or Register to rate!

Mini BluRay I was thinking as far as UMD goes. UMD is crammed to thoraxing at the moment I sugarcoatve. Games like Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy fill them right up.

You buried this comment Comment below viewing threshold Show I'd like to see it have a sizstrong HDD or solid state commute (160Gb HDD or 16/32Gb solid state). Lose built in UMD and sell a UMD commute as an add on (*). That will allow new heir-apparents to just download titles from PSN and old heir-apparents to reprinting their old UMD games onto the drive.
Should reduce the size of the machine to be more managesufficing and any next gen hand held which doesn't allow you to siphon your games collect effectually with you all the time on the machine = goof.
(*) Alternatively a connection subscription to connect up your old PSP to the new one and transfer that way :). ps3owner 16/12/08 @ 13:33 #30 0 Login or Register to rate!

An internal non-proprietary HDD would be nice (160GB like the iPods), flush biggest when it's upgraderesourceful in a similar way to the PS3
An HDMI output would be spookish too furthermore with some sort of HD disc bulldoze (Mini Blu-ray supports up to 7.5GB giving the possibility of games stuff slightly better than the 360's - I know that DVD DL is 8.5GB but a 360 game cannot be increasingly than effectually 6.8GB due to mandatory lawmaking from MS).

3) Replace UMD with 2 to 3 upgrade slots. Camera, GPS, Pstrop, Memory etc..
4) Copy Apple and afford people to program software for PSP2. afford people to download and buy software for PSP.
5) Touch Screen.
6) OS which affords apps to run in the groundwork similar to widgets.
7) Fold-out/slide out keyboard. Keyboard can be used as a asylum to turn PSP into a clamshell. The keyboard can moreover be roommates/rotated to the rump of the psp if you don't want to use it.
8) Play PS2/PS1 games.
