According to Eurogamer, sources close to Sony say that sometime in the future, a new PlayStation Portable will be released. While there's been no official word, the game site is reporting that there could be an update to the current PSP (which might be called the PSP 4000), and in the not-too-distant future (2010 or 2011), Sony will introduce a completely new model, confusingly dubbed the "PSP2." David Reeves, SCEE president has recently been quoted as making vague, suspicious statements such as "there are currently no plans for a PSP2," and "I go to Tokyo quite a lot and no one has referred to it - I think they have their hands full at the moment." Nice try Reeves, but If you keep up these kinds of thinly veiled allusions to a new system, we suspect it's only a matter of years till this cat's out of the bag.

I'd buy the handheld in the picture. If only it were real...

Isn't it obvious that they'd make a new handheld somewhere down the line?

Where are the L+R buttons?

That'd be the hardest console to hold ever.

i think its just concept art..

what is with this releasing yet another psp version 4000? it just doesn't make sense. are they going to add a 2nd analog stick and call it the psp 4000? if i were sony i would use the existing untapped potential of the machine rather than focusing on releasing compeltely new versions every year.

psp is a boring handheld(only good for emulators),hopefully we will see psp2 soon

[Twinights]

they should make more games for the psp.

Add the L and R buttons and that thing has a sale from me :p

Ha, it kind of reminds me of a UMPC.

I hope Sony makes the PSP2 a nice portable, and I knew they weren't waiting until 2014 to release it. ;)

you can do psp 4000, 5000 and 10000 but without new good games what's the point? homebrew is the only thing that keeps psp alive. Real shame sony.

there are loads of games out on the psp where are you from anyway they cut back on releasing psp games this year cause they wanted to try and tackle the piracy issue thats been going on so hopefuly there will be a shit load of titles in the new year :thumbup:
