PSP 3000 series?
While no discussion was made about a new PSP at E3 or anywhere for that matter, it hasn't stopped rumors of the new gen PSPs from circulating. Now someone over at PSPChina claims to have pictures of the the prototype of the new PSP.

You're allegedly looking at the inside of the PSP-3000. If it looks familiar, it is. A second hardware "refresh" will supposedly borrow heavily from the PSP-2000 design with a few key upgrades, according to the PSPChina.net forum (yeah, it's in Chinese!). A user there cites "reliable sources" and demonstrates his claims with picture evidence, suggesting that the PSP-3000 will feature a built-in microphone, a PlayStation button (in place of the current "Home" button) that parallels the one on PS3 controllers, and a thinner metallic ring on the back casing. The poster claims to have no knowledge of an internal hard drive or flash drive, but confirms the UMD drive will almost surely remain in place.

While it's difficult to nail the complete picture of this rumor working only with clumsy translations, wee've noted a few possible additions to the details above, including a modified USB input and supposed pictures of a black model (now removed). The possibility of cell phone integration (beyond Skype compatibility) and some vague references to a "touch-screen" and RMVB support are likely just wishful thinking, as are reports that PSP-3000 is already in mass production. Wee'll keep you posted as the story evolves.

RE: PSP 3000 series?
yeah, i think it real too.

Just prototypes floating around the office.

and i actually believe that all they would have added for the PSP-3000 would be a built in microphone, 'ps3 style' home button, and smaller ring on the back.

I'm not holding my breath for any internal memory or flash, or phone capabilites.

firmware update 4.0 proves this.

RE: PSP 3000 series?
As far as I've heard this PSP 3000 is real, but don't get excited because it will be an even more useless update than the 2000. What, it has a mic now, and that's really all it is. So yay, those of you who want to hold their psp up to their heads in a dumb way to use skype, you might want this.

What I would like to see:

- Better build quality than the 2000
- Cheaper price
- FIX THE FUCKING HOLD AND POWER BUTTON, ITS JUST STUPID
- Even better screen etc
- Longer battery life

It's all doable...
The only reason Sony will update the hardware would be either to facilitate some good business deal (like with skype for instance) which makes them money, or to make the production cheaper (which saves them money). It's like their firmware updates, they make it seem like you want them but actually it's just for their own good (to stop pirates, which earns them more money).

RE: PSP 3000 series?
making it thin + glossy painting intead of clear covering the color was the most useless thing they could have done to the PSP

the slim psp feel uneasy on the hands, unlike the phat one, they could have just make it lighter and added more stuff in the old casing

also, taking out the IR killed it for me, that is the thing i love the most of my phat, using IR shell >:3
