New PSP Named and It’s Coming This Fall....(Rumor) 2en9r1y

(Not Actual Photo)

Many have speculated that the update would be called either the PSP 2 or PSP-4000, but our sources claim Sony will forgo a numerical moniker in favor of a subtitle. We’ve heard various rumored code names for the project (including PSP Slide, PSP Flip, and PSP Go!), but given that Sony has introduced the Go! brand of add-ons (the Go!View video on-demand service and 1.3 megapixel Go!Cam) for the European PSP, it seems likely that the new system will in fact be called the PSP Go! Our sources further confirm that this redesign will be available in two SKUs, with either eight or 16 GB of built-in flash memory. The system is set for release in Japan this September with a U.S. debut coming in either late October or early November.

In addition, since the UMD is going away, Sony will have over 100 classic and new PSP titles available for download at launch (Gran Turismo Mobile is said to be one of the premier launch titles). As for the hardware itself, the redesign will include a d-pad, analog nub, and face buttons as part of a sliding unit sticking out below the screen (as seen in our mockup above). Unfortunately for those looking for twin-stick shooter controls, the new system will not have a second analog stick, but instead will remain consistent with the current control configuration.

That sounds so cool- I would definatley get one- I hope that it has the UMD slot though so you can still play what you have as far as UMD games & movies. That would suck if not!!!. thanks for the info Smile

The PSP Go and 3000 are going to be sold side by side.

UMD is not going away. There is quite a line up being released this year. Smile

they are keeping them both together, they dont want the PSP-3000 owners feel left out and because both psps are like each other (Gaming wise) except for the different features (PSP Go Bluetooth, Digital Download, no UMD (only for the other PSPs) for Ex.) Wink

Later releases (Accessories, Games, and Updates) will go with both the PSP-3000 and the PSP-Go Smile

so pretty much the psp go is for people who don't already have psps.

And for people that love DD and hate the UMD format.

I'm planning on getting it because it'll actually fit in my pocket, and I don't play that many games anyway. If I do play them, I'll be in the car or at my house where I can just use my phat, and I wont have to carry it around everywhere. Razz

i still dont see why they have to be around the same relaese time but what ever floats the boats of gamers im sticking to the thousands verions not the go
