Sony Confirms New, Slimmer PSP in the Works

i really dont think i will be a 'psp 2'
i think when a psp with a HDD will come in then it would be consider more of a psp 2, even though it won't be anyway.
But i think going with a redesign a the psp, sony should focus more on making improvment on it, like 8gig flash memory or a good 60 gig HDD
Making a slimmer psp doesn't really interest me, actually it's kinda useless & it sound kinda hard to make, cause when you look at it the screen & UMD reader are very close to each other already, so how can they make it slimmer.
But if they make a psp with a hard drive, then thats definitly a good reason for me to buy it, but again we'll have to wait for another firmware downgrade.

like everyone else Sony, no homebrew 'n nobdy gonna buy a psp that the way it is now, & it doens't have to be illegal anyway, copyright says that it must be a back up copy to have the games, & in most cases i own so many ps1, & gba games already, so i'm not gonna carry both psp & GBA to play both console.
But then don't go telling me having neo-geo & mame and other homebrew is illegal.
I mean really what shop still sells those game
they should even make it legal nowadays since it's basiclly impossible to buy legal copies of those games, so there

.

come to think of it sony should include the features from 1.5 version into newer ones with ps1 emulator. I just bought a psp recently with a 1 gig stick & since I got firmware 3.03 & i can't do much with it since i cant use homebrew unless i buy GTA & im almost out of money, and again nobody gonna buy a psp + many games on it since we don't got so much money, does they games makers think we're multi millionaire or what. myself, well my parents got quite a bit of money but i can't even afford games for it, only homebrew

cause its free

60gig psp + homebrew = dream come true

Haha, yeah.

I think sony are a bunch of money grabbers.

I have said it many times before, they do this with even god damn console.

What the bloody hell is the point?

If it had extra hardware, etc. it wouldn't be so bad, but all it is, is 'smaller'.

They done it with the PS2. No change except size, but they charge double.

It sucks.

With it should come a price cut. If they did that then they would really start selling PSP's. And if this thing has a firmware that if homebrewable or if that Devolution mod chip comes out and I can put that on it then I just may buy it.

i won't buy it as long if it dosen't have more than yust a smaler size. also: no homebrew no buy!

What is a bummer is that it will almost certainly not be easily exploited to run homebrew immediately upon release. I may get one of the initial release versions and never upgrade it hoping for an eventual exploit.

I can't imagine it being that much smaller unless they shrink the buttons to tiny proportions such as the DS. I don't think the DS Lites small buttons would work well with the PSP.

I bet it could be made a lot thinner.

I just really hope for a much better LCD screen. The Ghosting can get ridiculous at times. Longer battery life is a must also. And if it doesn't have INTERNAL storage, it would be nice for it to come with a complimentary 4GB or 8GB memory stick.

I bet it will look sexy as hell and if it comes in more than 1 color it would be great. I know I'll want one, I just also know I would not really use it that much if it cannot do all the cool stuff the original PSP can.

I want one but I wont get it until the fw is exploited.

Time for a second analog stick. Even though a PSP remake couldn't have more buttons, as it's a remake and would play the same games as the first version, a second analog stick could simply act as the face buttons so players could have two analog sticks for games like first-person-shooters, even though it'd render the face buttons useless.
