They should change the name if there going to make it look that differen't, instead of calling it PSP-4000 (<---pretty crappy name for such a huge change) they should call it (crappy examples ahead--->) PSP max or extreme lol, instead of just throwing in a number.

I'm never going to get a PSP if they keep changing it every few months. I almost bought a 3000 the other day then I thought maybe I should wait and see if they are making another model soon.

If they ditch the UMD drive also include internal memory and add some ram with a faster CPU for better looking games than I'd consider upgrading..

Also I would like some features like a built-in camera and GPS etc..

There will be no need for me to upgrade from 3000 to 4000 if they only change the shape ..
If the 4000 model comes with two analog sticks the 3000 user base would be left out because the games for the 3000 don't support two analog sticks..

So my bet is a new PSP2 and not just a design overhaul ..

Why not PSPi ... or iPSP ^^

Yea, too bad it's better than anything Sony can come up with.

I hope this is true, I skipped the 3000, but I would certainly be interested in this concept

As for the removal of UMD, I really hope not. What I would not mind, is having disc based games, that you can burn to the BUILT IN FLASH MEMORY so that I have physical copies of the game, but the convenience of not having to change discs, and of course that would mean you don't have to do anything about your existing games

That mock up is sexy. It'd need a nice screen protector though.

Let's compromise and call it iPSPi?

Sweet I think sony should throw a phone in there and make exclusive version wireless as iphone is to At&t try to go for the whole enchalada!!!

Oh no please, no PSPhone... The PSP is and must stay a gaming device first, all the GPS and camera stuff were painfull enough lol.
