It look likes psp 3000 is realy coming.Hard to belive but...
Last week, the community was rocked with rumors of a new PSP that was reportedly under development. Aside from some rather questionable pictures however, not much else was known about this SKU, which has been dubbed the PSP-3000. Ironic, considering that the days before this revelation are littered with speculation of what the PSP?s next evolutionary step will have.
First glance
Outwardly, the presumed PSP-3000 prototype ? we?ll call it the 3k for short - doesn?t look that different from the PSP Slim. Based on the available images we have, the 3k has the same body size as the Slim, going as far as having the same glossy black finish and labels for its headset port.
What is visibly different is the new PlayStation button that?s replaced the home button. Current speculation indicates that this was done by Sony so that there wouldn?t be any confusion between the PS button on the PSP, and the one found on the PlayStation 3?s SIXAXIS controller. Basically, if you know how to operate a PS3, then you?ll know how to use the new PSP.
The other noticeable difference is an integral microphone located to the right of the volume controls.
From here, not much else can be said of the unit?s internal workings. Is it running on an entirely new motherboard? How will its specs compare to the two models already out? While we can?t answer these questions yet, who?s to say we can?t draw upon some possible features the unit will carry, based on previous reports and speculations.
Memory Capacity
Possible solution to this is the expected arrival of an even bigger 32 GB memstick by next year. Based on another E3 2008 revelation however, Sony might be planning something bigger: hard drives. Where will Sony place the new HDD if ? and that?s a very big if - it?s implemented for the PSP-3000?
Is the PSP-3000 very well be the PSP Phone we?ve heard so much about? Well, yes and no. Based on a report from Marketing Week, Sony is indeed working on a PlayStation-branded phone ? an entirely new gadget that will make use of functions from the PSP line. Disappointing news perhaps, but the previous phone speculations does leave us with some other interesting ideas to play with, and helps streamline what the PSP-3000 may turn into.
Touchscreen
Will the PSP-3000 have a touchscreen?
Games might be a more complicated case, given implementing this tech would depend heavily on the developers, or if they consider it important enough to be used for their projects *coughSIXAXIScoug.
The microphone
One such possibility is that we won?t have to invest in Sony?s proprietary headsets. A minor detail perhaps, but a big break for those who?d like to use Skype or Go!Messenger using a better set of earphones than the ones that come with the PSP. Another ambitious prospect for the built-in microphone would be more support for in-game voice chat.
