Yeah, I wanted two analog sticks very badly but these changes are all very nice especially if it's not a more expensive system.

The 8GB storage and the D Pad change are amazing if they happen.

I will pick this new version up day 1, cause it's impossible to play fighting games on the PSP with the current D Pad...

I think also if it did come out at 170$ it would pretty much tell you tehy have been making a profit on PSPs for a while now... 

Here is the pic if you guys want
it was posted on another thread for a phone, but from what i hear, this is what it will be, the patent was field a bit ago

Ugh I hope it's just a redesign and not a damn phone...

@SamuelRSmith

Sorry then, it just seemed to me that you implied the features were not wanted. However an 8gb internal card would be useful as it would increase the multimedia functions of the PSP.
