a thought occurred That extra 64MB could be a real bad thing if games start requiring it, seriously that would bite for current owners and to developers doubling the available ram is probably really tempting... plus I'd seriously be annoyed if suddenly games aren't compatible with my old psp

Sony will never allow that - that is why the RAM can only be used for optional things in game code, such as a loading cache (to reduce loading times).

It could be still be sucky though - new games designed for the updated PSP might have terrible loading performance (i.e. streaming) on the old PSP. 

 

ehh, hopefully your right, probably are but probably will be an issue with homebrew stuff, or atleast owners of the new model will get better homebrew,
