PSP-4000 Announced!!!!
"Sony let out details about a new console they are planning on releasing this year before christmas.

In an unanticipated move, Sony have announced details on their next portable gaming console in its PlayStation® Portable range, dubbed PSP-4000.

In a statement at a recent press conference, SCEE president David Reeves announced the decision for the hardware update.

What's unusual about this move is that it follows the release of Sony's new console, the PSP-3000, which hit the shelves less than a month ago. Speculators believe that this sooner than expected update was made by Sony in an attempt to give it a competitive advantage over Nintendo's new DSi.

Continue for details...

Details on this new model were sketchy however. Reeves announced that the new model is expected to be available before Christmas this year, but the price had yet to be finalized. The new model builds on the PSP-2000's "slim and lite" design, and the PSP-3000's improved screen and built-in microphone, and adds an improved processing unit.

Sony announced details on making PlayStation® 2 games available for download via its PlayStation® Store, which could then be transferred to and played on the PSP-4000.

Critics of the PSP™ say that the system's main weakness is it's lack of quality games, and some believe that Sony is relying on the strength and popularity of its aging console to improve the sales of its current generation systems, the PlayStation® Portable and PlayStation® 3."

most likely, its more of a way to pay back the people that got the 3000 i am guessing..
it is kind of lame that they are keeping the design tho...

Not believing it doesn't make you any more of a man, It isn't a competition.

Whats the bloody point of telling people theres going to be a psp 4000. of course there not going to make another one so quickly. I agree that they should make a new handheld, With TWO analog sticks, Sony!!!!!!! Listen to your customers!!!!

Chi-kitory · « **Reply #22 on:** October 27, 2008, 12:53:15 PM »

the bloody point is i didnt know... So Sorry for posting

ProperBritish · « **Reply #23 on:** October 27, 2008, 01:00:51 PM »

sony should bring out one that has 2 MS readers, one for multimedia, one more for gaming, using specially a modified MS, where the pinouts on game MSs are mixed up, for hacking/piracy protection. it would make the games load quicker, and remove the need for a bulky UMD drive.
