Take this with the smallest grain of salt but according to forum members over at PSPChina, they claim Sony is already in production of their newest edition of the PlayStation Portable. This rumored PSP 3000 is to come updated with a new built-in mic, some changes to its appearance, and perhaps even with cell-phone support.

The claim of the new PSP 3000 was supported with some images of what the said model looks like. As you can see below the "Home" button has been redesigned to instead have the PS logo, similar to the PS button on the PS3's controllers. Right next to the volume buttons you can see what appears to be the said mic. Also new and redesigned is the metallic ring found on the UMD door. Lastly they also provided an image of what the inside casing looks like.

Sony PSP-3000 speculation: hard drives, touchscreens, possibilities?
Jul 31, 2008 by Tim Y from qj.net

http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/122629/PSP3000-banner.jpg

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.

This article will attempt to piece together some of the bigger rumors we’ve run into in the past, and see just how they all fit together. Take them as “What if” possibilities – no more, no less.

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 confusionbetween 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. It doesn’t seem like a big difference at first glance, but since the 3k now carries it built-in as compared to a separate, purchasable accessory, that does offer up some interesting possibilities for game devs or similar groups with vested interests in the handheld. We’ll delve into that matter a little later.

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

http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/122629/PSP-Memstick-01_qjgenth.jpg
PSP-3000: More memory please - Image 1


A few days after Sony released the PlayStation Store’s video download service for the PlayStation 3, John Koller announced that the company was looking into giving the PSP a native version of the PS Store. From here, it’s not too hard to imagine the PSP getting the same sort of download functionality as its bigger kin.

That is, if we assume all you’ll be getting your handheld via PSN are videos. There’s also the matter of downloadable games to worry about, with titles like Echochrome being a good example of this growing trend. As more developers take a similar route for their game releases, and perhaps even launching full-sized titles online, the PSP’s current 16GB stick capacity begins to look a little lacking.

One 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?

One idea would be that it will replace the UMD. Delving into this idea further, I’d imagine Sony will also use a Solid-State Drive (SSD). That format is known for its resistance to physical shock – a must for the travel-savy handheld- and its compact size enables it to fit flush into the PSP-3000’s frame without any problems.

Some expected trade-offs for this transition include a considerably higher price tag for the 3k, and the SSD format’s slow read speed. More importantly, a move to dedicated a HDD format, while freeing developers from the limits of a UMD, may also open up their games to a longtime industry problem: piracy.

Apple and Oranges: The fabled PSP Phone

PSP Phone - vaporware? - Image 1PSP Phone - vaporware? - Image 2PSP Phone - vaporware? - Image 3


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? Once again, the current information we’ve got isn’t much to go on, or if it even carries one, save for recent rumors of a Sony filing a patent for a gaming device with touchscreen features. Much like the Phone rumor earlier, it's still unclear if this is indeed the new PSP, or another device altogether.


If it was the 3k though, we’re looking at quite a lot of new functionality. Touch-based games are just one possibility, though my expectation is that this tech will have better synergy with the functions Sony may introduce along with native PlayStation Store support.

Think about it – being able to use the PSP’s screen as you would an iPhone or DS to browse content on PSN; Otherwise clunky tasks such as surfing the net or browsing the PSP GPS' UI becomes dramatically easier. An especially big plus point for new PSP owners specifically.


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 *coughSIXAXIScough*.

The microphone

http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/122629/PSP-3000-01_qjgenth.jpghttp://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/122629/PSP-headset_qjgenth.jpg
The PSP mic - Image 1The PSP mic - Image 2


Remember where the microphone was positioned – just below the screen. The bad news is this could further disprove the PSP-3000 as a PSP Phone, given it’s a poor place to put a speaker. On the other hand, that fact it’s now a permanent part of the handheld’s real estate offers up some interesting possibilities.

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.

Much like the touch screen as a gaming device however, this possibility rests on the devs, so don’t hold your breath. Still, a talking with teammates during a bout of Resistance: Retribution does sound par for the course.

Wrapping it up

What sort of device are we looking at if it did incorporate all these features? Well, it's not just a gaming platform anymore that's for sure. Much like the PlayStation 3, the PSP may turn out to be a media entertainment system all to its own. Do we see a potential iPod killer in Sony's future plans? I hope not - I'd very much prefer that whatever the PSP does evolve into spins off into a completely new direction.

I take this opportunity to remind the readers that this is strictly wishful thinking, based on whatever info’s available out there. Still, dreaming up the sort of possibilities that may become part of the PSP system in the near future is fun. Who knows – one of these speculations just might come true.


This is where I’ll end this connect-the-dots session, though I encourage the readers to keep on the lookout in case somebody confirms the existence of the PSP-3000. Feel free to offer you own two cents in the comments section below.

wow.. astig naman yan kerstinne.. hehe.. sana wag ng lumabas yan.. masasayang psp ko.. huhu.. :weep:

if you ask me i'd prefer if they make the psp more durable especially when it falls to the ground accidentally. enough of that bs psp phone. but hdd remains a mystery as to how will they be able to fit inside a psp.

Slim is out, Brite is in: more PSP-3000 vs PSP-2000 comparison pics

http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/123591/psp-3000-1_qjgenth.jpg?741499

Eeny-meeny-minee-mo. Think you can pick out which of these are PSP Slims and which are PSP Brites? Following the strawberry comparison photos we found the other week, we now have a whole bulk load of side-by-side shots of the PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 from Famitsu today.

As you may all know, the PSP-3000 is everything the Slim is (in terms of physical dimensions), but with A) a brighter/sharper screen due to its higher contrast ratio, and B) a microphone at the bottom center of the face. After seeing more comparison photos though, we can now add more differences to the list:

C) the PSP-3000 has rounder/smoother edges on the left and right sides of the PSP unit,
D) the back has a thinner circle circumscribing the PSP logo, and
E) as already seen in the previous strawberry shot, the switching of the Sony logo from the right side of the screen to the left

Say hello to the future of the PSP! With exception of the first photo below, all images have the PSP-3000 on top, PSP-2000 below. Look at those jellybeans! And to borrow the description from Famtisu, human skin now actually looks "healthier". Click the thumbs for an enlarged view (make sure the page has full loaded first though)!

Heto po galing mismo sa website ng sony japan..

Tokyo, August 21, 2008 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that it would launch a new PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) handheld entertainment system (PSP-3000) featuring an advanced LCD that further improves the very popular, high resolution PSP display. The new PSP will be available in stores in Japan, Asia, North America and Europe from October 2008.

While inheriting the basic design and functionality of the current “slim and light” PSP, the image quality on the new LCD screen is dramatically enhanced, and a built-in microphone is added to meet the PSP users’ demand to enjoy games and content with voice input functionality without the use of a separate microphone.to accommodate more games, movies, graphics, music, photos and other entertainment content – all for the same price.

Offering the highest-level contrast ratio, response time, and wider color gamut possible on a portable LCD screen, the new PSP is capable of displaying movies and photos in more natural and vibrant colors on its high resolution 4.3 inch wide screen. The new LCD screen adopts an anti-reflection technology, which enables users to see the screen more clearly in well-lit places, even when used outdoors. The built-in microphone will allow users to easily enjoy games that utilize a microphone*1, as well as Skype™*2 and other communication tools. Through these additional and upgraded features, not only will the PSP user experience improve, but content creators also will have more flexibility to develop creative, entertainment content for the new PSP.

Further expanding PSP’s entertainment capabilities, the video-out port*3 is also expanded to output gameplay in interlace format, which will allow new PSP users to enjoy games on non-progressive TVs by using separately sold cables. With the current “slim and light” PSP, games can be displayed on progressive TVs only.
In addition to the basic “Piano Black” color, the new PSP will also come in “Pearl White” and “Mystic Silver”*4 to meet variety of lifestyle and preference of all ages.
PSP is gaining overwhelming support from a wide range of users from all over the world through its exciting lineup of software titles as well as the introduction of color variations and network services. Since the launch of “slim and light” PSP in September 2007, the expansion of the PSP platform has been further accelerated, and more than 41 million units have been sold as of June 2008.

SCEI will continue to expand the PSP platform and create a new world of computer entertainment with the new PSP, building on the strong lineup of new game titles launching through the holiday season.


*1 Microphone function can be used on games that are compatible with headsets.

*2 To enjoy Skype on PSP, users will require a Skype account, Memory Stick Duo™, a wireless Internet connection and a Headphone with Remote Control (PSP-S140) or Skype-compatible headphones. Users are recommended to speak closely to the microphone (approx. 10cm from the microphone).

*3 Video output cables (AV cable/ S VIDEO cable/ D Terminal AV cable/ Component AV cable) are sold separately. Product lineup may differ by country/ region.

*4 Color variations may differ by country/ region

Regarding sa Battery life.. same specs lng nma ha.. paano mo nasabing maiksi ang battery life nya kungparehas lng ng PSP 2k ang battery nya?

@wurm

Dahil mas bright at crisp ang colors ng screen ng PSP 3000. Kaya mas malakas kumain ng battery yun.
