Sony Confirms New, Slimmer PSP in the Works

[wraggster]

Another story about a newer PSP coming soon this time from gizmodo

It's only been two days since we reported on those PSP 2 rumors and already a Sony exec has made our rumor official by confirming the company's plans to make a PSP2. Sony Computer Entertainment UK managing director Ray Maguire was quoted as saying the new PSP will be more pocket-friendly, thanks to a smaller and lighter design. Maguire also said the PSP2 will have the same screen size as the current PSP. So we're basically looking at a PSP Lite. No word on when it'll launch, though we here at Giz are wondering if Sony will plan on actually making games for the new PSP.

good news!
now we dont have to worry about anything.
one thing that we definately know is that a new firmware must come with it... more hacking on our way

So it is basically what the DS did....
Oh well.

Hackers be prepared

So the PSP 2 will be smaller though keeping the current size screen. I wonder what that will look like?

[xg917]

yea i really wonder.. . . maybe just thinner but not smaller in size.. we never kno untill we see it

remember the first photo of the psp?? with the fishes on the screen? man that looked kool to me. everything was flat

[Davezombie]

theres not really a way for it to be smaller unless they make it flip like a GBA or something. The buttons would need to be moved for it to be smaller

[Ultima Chocochu]

All I can think of is thinner, cause if the screen is the same size, it most likely means the PSP is going to be the same length.

[Uchuu]

A thinner PSP eh? Sounds intriging. If it looks cool, and homebrew gets unlocked, I"ll consider getting it.

I hope the battery lasts as long as the DS lite.
