Originally posted by qj.net: Not long after Sony unleashed its updated model of the PlayStation Portable, affectionately named PSP Slim & Lite, there's an interesting placeholder image found on Sony Computer Entertainment's website for instruction manuals that raises eyebrows.
The image says "3000 series" on the PSP website, and it's inevitable for people to speculate that a new line of the handheld is at least in the works.
The sleek and lighter PSP-2000 was launched back in September across the globe and the portable gaming device is expected to run for 10 years, so it doesn't seem unlikely for Sony to push for redesigned models before unveiling a successor. Though the image could have been prepared for future plans, we'll just watch out for any possible announcements. Keep checking back for updates!

pesonaly i think it fake as it all seems a bit funny but you never know 0_<
There is going to be a 3000 PSP, the signs have been there since 3.80. They're saying the PSP is a 10-year console, so who knows how many revisions it'll go through between now and then? I'll bet there'll be a 5000 model before finally unveiling.... the PSP 10 000!
That was fast... But you know Sony, they won't give up until they make one that doesn't get hacked. Watch the 3000 get hacked the first day just like the slim, bet that'll piss them off.
the word unhack-able is never joined with the word console 0_<.
it seems that sony have take the image down, im guessing it could be some kind of april fools joke im sure these nothing in the works that may be released soon.
mabe a psp2 in 2 years but we have to wait to see what nintendo and what microsoft are doing; its highly likely that xbox will bring out a portable device next time following there trend.
When it comes to technology, I don't think you can wait around for the next big thing/product update/upgrade etc, because there is always something on the horizon.
If you buy a computer one month, there is something more powerful for less money available the following month. Whilst the psp world doesn't move so fast I think the same still applies to some extent.
There is some benefit in having the final version of the old model rather than the initial version of a brand new model - in the case of psp 1000/2000 versus psp 3000 this would be the vast range of official and homebrew softwares and aftermarket accessories available.
So I would say if you want a slim go ahead and buy a slim - the next generation psp is probably still some way off (surely something would have leaked out by now?).
