Looks the same to me, if they release a new one then I have wasted my money on picking up a slim last week...

hey maybe i'll get one. My PSP has been broken for probably 6 months now and i've not had a reason to get it fixed. Buy this may be a reason to get a new one.

Most likely, these will be made to block custome firmware. Which would suck if you like playing emulated games. The phats had sucky d-pads, which made it hard to play anything on. The slims improved everything; better screen, better d-pad, better battery consumption, added a TV out. Only downgrade was a lower capacity battery. If there is nothing new added to the new PSPs, the second rev would be the definitive version to get.

cheaper materials, more efficient manufacturing = more profit = PSP 3001

Sweet, if anything I hope it brings lower power consumption with it.
I was planning on getting a PSP, but it was a good thing holding out xD

probably with reduced battery consumption or larger battery capacity
and more importantly, build-in flash hard drive would be nice :)

Yes. It seems the big features are better battery life and the cheaper parts. I don't think we'll see any big annoucements about this one.

I have a PSP Slim and am very happy with it. The only way I would get this is if it had a 12-15 hour battery life and a cool feature I wanted like a portable built in radio or something...

yea psp slim is good enought for me.

psp 1001k ftw!
