I was thinking the same thing, one day it's a rumor, confirmed, denied, confirmed by "insider" denied, rumored, confirmed....

I fail to see any real way they can make it smaller and keep the same screen size without making the buttons impossible to use. Remember the initial square button issues caused by the PSP's "sleak" design in the first place anyone?

If I remember correctly, a lot of PSP owners had an issue with an awkward grip due to the size as well. Make it smaller, make it harder to play in my opinion. I dont think many people have thought this through and have been blinded by the whole "smaller, lighter" thing.

I think Sony need to spend more efforts on getting decent games out before pushing out a new batch of hardware. I mean they should have given polyphony digital a swift kick up the jacksie by now as the GT franchise is a flagship on the PlayStation platform. Shown when the PSP first launched then vanished without a trace, I am doubtful that it will ever see a release to be honest.

every1 is saying no homebrew, no buy.. of course its not gona have homebrew the first day it comes out. but the thing is. that. i would rather buy one the month it comes out because sony will ship more psplites that could have even more updated firmware. and then if we buy one the time homebrew comes to the new psp then we will still be stuck with the NEWEST firmware.
right now we dont know where noobz or dark alex are now. so we cant garuntee anything homebrew wise quickly. since we cant even get homebrew running on 3.10 or 3.11..

I'm happy with my current PSP. As mentioned before, unless $ony put a big HD and flash memory in it then I won't even consider buying this new-look version at all. I think the current PSP looks fine anyway. Another money-grabbing plan in my eyes. They won't add any new features except a new firmware.

For me this is the best news, much better than a totally new PSP. As a redesign, it will be much more hacker friendly, we'll save a lot of money on MS if it really comes with internal memory, and we'll get better pad and buttons, battery life and size supposedly.

Great news indeed. My suggestion, buy one as soon as it comes out and don't update, it will always be the easiest to hack.

I'd be willing to bet that by the end of next year, a 3rd PSP will be out that will sopposedelly be more pocket frenly than the PSP2.
