RUMOR: PSP SLIM details revealed!!

[mike_jmg]

Nah! this can´t be true, is too much effort

If it is about getting what I want, I would rather have like a psp2 with a mini HDD of 60 GB, no stupid UMD door, already Homebrew enabled, more processor power, slim LCD screen (like the one that is on a video somewhere), right analog stick, TV output and battery life of 40 Hours

What!!! ???.... I can dream too

Next psp will have touchscreen? Blantant attempt to copy the DS if it is true. I hate sony stealing Nintendo's ideas. Why cant they think of something by themselves for a change.

Sony didnt steal the motion detection from nintendo....mostly bc there was a game on psx that used it (Warhawk, their bringing it back for ps3)...There was a motion controler for that...

Anyway i cant wait. If the fw is a easy to crack as 3.0X have been then im sure there will be hombrew on psp slim (lets hope sony forgets the unsigned code like 1.0 ....stop looking at me, i can dream)

sweet, 8GB internal flash memory? holy shizat....
i cant wait to see this... and to have homebrew on this

the thing is, it will be awhile till this is released, and an even longer while till there is homebrew on it

[psp411]

If its true...
then I want one...but i doubt most of the new add-ons for cost issues...(think about it... sony would have to sell this new psp for as much as they did when the 1st one came out...)
oh well... as long as i got my less power efficent, bigger, thicker, heavier, HACKED psp then im happy

This does sound a little too good to be true. I must admit that after reading this, it makes me want one. But like many, I doubt that this many cool improvements will be there while still keeping the same internal hardware.

But lets say its true. If its the same internal hardware, we should in theory be able to at the very least hook a mod-chip up perhaps.

I guess the best thing to do if you have the extra cash is to buy the new PSP at launch and just never upgrade it. Hoping that someday, the homebrew scene will expand to use the new model PSP as well.

Sony's too busy with PS3, and there's no source from kotaku..i agree that its fake as well.

Yay more rumors, I hate facts :P... Wasn't there a rumor about "unflashable firmware" if this BS is true, I wonder if a new psp is what the rumor was referring to? Indeed "How would sony continue their firmware updates if you cant flash them?" Are they developing a fw that they feel dosent need future improvements in features/security... Do I even know what I'm talking about? No, but that dosent stop me anyway :P

also...

Next psp will have touchscreen? Blantant attempt to copy the DS if it is true. I hate sony stealing Nintendo's ideas. Why cant they think of something by themselves for a change.

Why would you even say that dude... A touchscreen is only convenient (and cool) and its not like Nintendo invented them... Anyway I doubt sony plans to ever utilize it with umd games. if for whatever reason they do decide to use one. So enjoy your ds and don't dis sony or my favorite little precious portable gaming device...

Pretty sure this is fake, if not I'll be surprised. I mean 8GB built in!? so nice.

Your also living in a closet if you think Sony has ever had an original thought in their company mind. Sony likes to follow and borrow from others. They don't like to be the first out of the gates with "new" video game advancements.

They wait, see what Nintendo and at times Microsoft is doing, then once they see people are taking a liking to the new thing, Sony incorporates it into their product.

People who r saying that if the new psp has a touch screen it is a rip of from nintendo.... well if u wanna put it that way then...... the Ds copied it from every mobile that has a frickin touch screen... its not copying.. its making the system better!

The 8gb internal flash sounds pointless when you can just use mem sticks? But lets pretend that is true- I wonder if they will take things out like usb? Lol :S

I agree with Veskgar. It's like he read my mind in the future :P It does sound too good to be true- my initial reaction was "Wow, sony must be reading my posts or something, this is like exactly what I have been asking for".

On one hand you might think the camera (mic included?) idea would be complete bs- but if you think about it, it adds to the possibility of this being true because it means it's possible for the game developers to make games, expecting the user to have cam/mic capabilities- and that makes the camera add on actually worth it and not some silly side thing.

The improved controls and faster UMD would be the best part (especially the dpad, the current one stinks).

LED screen? Wtf is that? That is what makes it sound like bs to me, wouldn't that downgrade the quality? be chunkier? I don't know much about leds so maybe someone can add to my fantasy of this being true and explain how this might be possible.

Anyone expecting it to be easily downgraded is silly. Anyone thinking they should wait it out until it is downgraded is even sillier- I bought my PSP right away, it is an easily downgraded model- I think that if you want any real chance of a downgraded version you should get the very first ones out (import if you have to, the jap ones are bound to be errored :P).
