Source: PSP Go! Coming This Fall, Packs Internal Flash, Nixes UMD Drive

Something to add, I noticed that motion detection wasn't mentioned. Although I have a feeling that those features mentioned previously are solid, I almost wonder if six axis (or some form of motion detection) will be included. This would make it even with the iPhone, and would make it seem even more right since the PS3 includes motion detection.

I expect to see a built-in camera and accelerometer in this new PSP

Don't hold your breath, this isn't a brand new PSP, just an upgrade.

I can see a camera possibly making its way in, but it's very unlikely that there will be an accelerometer.

Accelerometers really aren't a big deal nowadays, some phones have them, even neoflash made an accelerometer psp plugin device that is relatively cheap.

For Sony, it would be very easy to implement one and it wouldn't even be very costly. But I do agree with you that I doubt they'll add it. It's Sony afterall

Actually, I wasn't thinking about cost, I was thinking more along the lines of alienation. Like I said, this isn't a new PSP, it's an upgrade. So, it means that if a new game introduced some sort of tilting functionality, the 50+ million PSP owners wouldn't be able to use the tilting function.

Then again, this new PSP is creating a massive divide by nixing the UMD drive anyway, so it looks like all bets are off to be honest. I wouldn't be surprised if there's more power under the hood, in a similar fashion to the DS Lite.

According to who?

I'm not doubting you, i just haven't heard that before. I knew they were replacing the UMD drive and moving over to digital format. Doesn't that mean its a new console?

According to a 1UP report, Sony will debut a revised edition of PSP hardware at this year

 

[Vee]

I'd prefer for it to be a new console to be honest, but there you go.

Well according to 1Up, the new PSP wont be called PSP2 or PSP-4000. It'll actually be PSP-M-1000, meaning its a new console, not a revision.

 

[Adiuvo]

That's stretching it to be honest, despite how much it would be nice to see a new PSP.

E3 isn't that far away anyways.

 

[Whisper]

You would think Sony would want to get a leg up on nintendo by releasing a new psp. I would be shocked if they did four revisions.

PSP - DS-
Orginal consoles, have their own ups and downs.

PSP2000/3000 - DSLite-
Lighter in weight and in screens. Has a few more features but overall, not that many.

New PSP - DSi-
Loses somethings in order to gain more.

Ya, that little device was like 45-65$, only problem was, it never really took off. I know for sure, that only 2 things were made for that. 1 Being loco roco, and the other being a homebrew app. I think there was possibly one more.

[PS3 FANBOY]

ill have to see what its like when its released.
the 8gb/16gb Internet memory sounds nice.. but im not sure whether il like the sliding screen.

If this has no-umd drive, im pretty sure it will just be a test for the PSP2 whether they should include a umd drive.

I agree with the analog stick part... hope its not a "test" becuase then ill have 3 psp's all that do the same thing... then ill have to buy a 5'th portable system >_< (have a ds light i never use too

L and R will probably go behind the slider screen not on top
