PSP-3000 is real, FCC listing proves this
Looks like the PSP-3000 rumors are indeed true as a FCC listing confirms that Sony is working on the new PSP-3000 model. This doesn’t however confirm the PSP-3000 spy photos released earlier are true or not. But it does confirm that Sony do have the new model in the works.
PSP-3001
So when will Sony break the silience and publicly confirm the unit as well as let us know the new specs? We can only hope that Sony will finally add some decent battery life to the new unit as well as maybe 802/g wifi, built-in mic + video cam and a internal flash drive? Is that that too much to ask for?

Nice news, I really hope Sony do a decent job of the new model, and not just release some slightly lighter or smaller unit that is cheaper to make and Pandora proof. And call it a PSP-3000. That would suck….

@PSP-FAN
Yes that would suck.

I want fm radio in the new model-how my old telephone se k750 can do it but the psp can’t.The camera is just a dream but I think that the microphone is possible.It would be good if sony make the sound of the psp louder.

all those things are great and all…. but dont we really want a second analog stick instead?
August 14th, 2008 at 11:26 am
A second analog would be great, but i doubt it…
August 14th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
There wouldn’t be second analog because this is psp3000 not psp2 so every game that was released on previos versions should work on this and every game that is going to be released for psp3000 must work on slim or even phat

I wonder what this’ll be like, but I probably won’t buy it. Sony’d have to add some awesome features AND give it a low price to make it interesting for me.
I’m still waiting for the actual PSP2 though

Im sitting this one out, or it its worthwile ill wait until someone hacks it. Anything is hackable, it just takes time.
August 14th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Sorry for double posting but As psp-Fan wrote about decent battery life there will probably be something since they took out the etended battery not too long ago. Either way theres going to be a major change to batteries to stop homebrew hard mod probably.

Its been a hell of a long time and the PS3 is still not hacked, unfortunately.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
what? the ps3 is hacked. It’s called Linux homebrew. I know the actual firmware hasn’t been but it’s too risky. you can’t unbrick the ps3 unless your dark alex or something.

65nm chips maybe? Based on photos I’ve seen of a dissected PSP 1000 and 2000, their chips look identical - both 90nm I’m betting. Sony’s discontinuing the extended battery kit, so it’d make sense.
August 15th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Unless it’s not pandora proof, and has enough features and an attractive enough price, I’ll stick with my Slim.

802g Wifi is unlikely. If you look through the test results, it lists it as 802b.
Also, it uses the same battery (PSP-S110).
August 17th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Good point. Yes 802.11b it is looking that the FCC test. I agree to with niel maybe they will have a nice low power consuming chip now?
August 18th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Honestly, it’s sad to see folks getting their hopes up. I imagine all they have planned for the new model is making it harder to hack and perhaps adding anti-piracy features. That and maybe moving the antenna or something like that.
August 18th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
lol i just bough a slim
August 19th, 2008 at 10:15 am

August 23rd, 2008 at 12:22 am
I too would like a built in FM radio! Its annoying having to be close enough to my router just 2 listen 2 Radio1! My old Sony cassette walkman can do better than that! (so thats what im using for radio) lol! i have a Phat now and might upgrade 2 PSP 3000 ( but i might stay with my PSP-ive grown attached lol) P.S i got K-750i too!

To everyone who’s wondering what the new PSP will hold feature-wise, check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSP-3000_series
Yes, there’s actually a wiki page about the new PSP, and it’s filled with decent info too.
August 27th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
would you be able to use a pandoras battery on it just not make one????
September 22nd, 2008 at 1:49 am
It’s just to get people from modding, which sucks cock, cause who the hell wants a psp with 40 disks when u can load it right off the mem card?
October 30th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Why the heck would the PSP need a second analog stick? I mean, is it really that hard for you guys to play games without it? For me, it’s not that hard considering that the PSP is the only Sony system I’ve ever owned and I own mostly Nintendo systems (that’s why I’m used to one analog stick).
October 30th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
The second analog stick is mostly used for camera. It makes it a lot easier without a fixed camera.
