Rumor: PSP-4000 An Aesthetic Revamp, Has Sliding Screen

you'll literally want to throw your PSP around after a few hours with it. I have to force myself to take breaks from it before it reaches that level.

I had a friend, who that when I went to his house, he always had new controllers every weekend, due to him literally throwing them on the ground when being so mad. It was sort of funny.
 
That'd be sick, I still have the original PSP haha
 
I sold mine, not to long ago.

Im skeptical about buying a new PSP, seeing as sony has released 2 different series almost in the same year.

Hardly if the inner hardware is all the same and the original UMD format is still intact. It would just be the same old PSP cept in a newer updated case. Not quite worthy of nabbing the "PSP 2" title.

What I'm saying is that Sony would never do such a huge hardware change just for a hardware iteration. If they were going to do this it would be the design on the PSP 2.
 
I think Sony was too busy making a Hannah Montana PSP, that's why there's no PSP 2 yet.

It's just a paint job. I personally find it a great decision to try and appeal to even the female gamer.
 
New colours will always gather attention... especially a colour geared towards female gamers. Sony needs all the customers they can get.

I'm gonna go with probably not.

The Pink PSP-1000 sold very nicely for them. Why wouldn't they create a new colour to aim at female gamers?

So long as it isn't actually branded with Hannah Montana on the back I'm sure that one will sell well too, if it is branded though it's going after a very niche audience and will be a certain failure.

I'm pretty sure the Hannah Montana fanbase would be more pleased with the DS than the PSP...

I just think the intended audience they're marketing at just isn't, well, fitting for them.

If the Hannah Montana fanbase would be better off with the DS then there's all the more reason for Sony to target that market. The fact that it's also a girl friendly colour is just a bonus then.

Edit: it's a risky move but I've given up any premonitions that Sony are still sane. They seem content to keep digging their grave so lets leave them too it.
 
I feel it will sell,I been talking to a few girls who have geek boyfriends and they would like a psp over a ds atm.There just looking for a few girl games before they pick it up,tho they whouldent mind god of war they much rather have Paton/fun games. I texted a few today telling up that lbp is coming to the psp they seemed kinda happy about it.
 
I can never see that in the hand of a 12 year old, I whouldent mind using it tho in fact I would love it.

Kinda reminds me of this

I could easily see it in the hands of a 12 year old. My brother is 12 and would definitely love something like that.

10 and younger though? Maybe not
 
I remember a time when the psp first came out thinking that there no way this can end up in the hands of kids. Tho and behold 3 years later and I see 7 years olds with Iphones,PSP,and a bluthooth.

Edit a bluetooth lol..
 
'A Bluetooth'?

I don't think age is really of concern to Sony... they already have a large portion of the consumer market backing the PSP franchise so any future releases will be well received no matter what.

Ouch.

Slasher, that would be an awesome system (physically) if they got it right.
Sony never really had problems in their design unit.

Just hardware they need to revamp, and with the UMD drive supposedly gone then I think they've started taking steps in the right direction.
