Artists impression of the PSP-4000?
VG247 claim to have a highly trusted source with info on new PSP-4000 revision. That the new PSP-4000 will have a sliding screen a complete aesthetic overhaul. Using the existing PSP technology so it won’t be a PSP2….
Much is now known by some parties of the console, which will be announced at either GDC or E3 this year, but cards are currently being clutched very tightly to chests. The revamp does have a sliding front-screen, and we’re assured the design being currently touted isn’t a million miles away from this now-infamous image.
Edit: Here’s another image of what the PSP-4000 could look like. Like this i-River below

Would his source happen to be joystiq.com?

Maybe its one of the testers leaking this info that its going to be a PSP Slide?
February 24, 2009 at 2:30 pm
im not taking any chances. They did the same thing with the 3000. Deny it. Whats the point in that? No wonder Sony fails at marketing. You can’t raise that much hype in less than 2 months to its release date.
Probably going to deny this, then a month or two later, announce it at E3 or something. But I doubt its going to be all that great. However sliding screen does seem useful and all considering it will be more accessible to play music in my pocket

who cares if it is not psp2?
February 24, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Who cares if we still can’t hack our PSP ta88 v3 ,and PSP 3000.
February 25, 2009 at 7:52 pm
you can hack your PSP?
February 24, 2009 at 5:04 pm
Where are the R and L buttons?
February 24, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Behind the screen…
October 26, 2009 at 3:13 pm
wow lol
October 26, 2009 at 3:14 pm
wow lol stick your head inside your computer screen to see the L and R button.
February 24, 2009 at 8:08 pm
I wish sony would stop with new revisions all the time. You know? I mean, seriously, We know why they’re doing it. We must be close to hacking the 3000 if they are working this hard to make another new model.
I think this is stupid.
On the other hand…. I am not too partial to the idea of having to buy a new console every two years, so…. Better this than a new console as far as I’m concerned.
The PSP is still a great console and there is plenty of room for more good games to be released for it. I have only had my PSP for a few months now and I am glad that they are not releasing a PSP2.
Anyway, really love to see StarCraft 2 for PSP!

February 24, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Who cares as long as they don’t stop making it all together!
February 24, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Even if this is not Sonys next design the should definitely consider it. I think they should go with a more flip open design so i can stop scratching my screen.
February 24, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Use a case to stop that
February 24, 2009 at 9:54 pm
I sorta agree, a flip design would make more sense. It would not only protect everything, it’d be a little easier to see the screen when playing. Maybe Sony’s trying too hard to be different.
February 25, 2009 at 7:54 pm
dude that is a great idea
February 24, 2009 at 11:27 pm
They will copy the DS if they can. No but really how about a PSP2 with power like the PS2 or near a PSP3 imagine DX10 style gfx games but portable OMG and mini blu ray
February 25, 2009 at 1:17 am
i really dont like it i prefer the ones that are out now because they are simple
February 25, 2009 at 1:26 am
Of course they’re making a PSP-4000. They’ll make a 5000, then 6000, etc. etc. It’s not really much news. Sony needs to stop these goddamn model revisions give us firmware updates!
February 25, 2009 at 4:29 am
Would be nice a few firmware updates. Sony just need to STOP focusing on hardware and push SOFTWARE for the PSP or it will die. No point having nice hardware with no games!
February 25, 2009 at 4:34 am
New official firmwares = Problems Hacking
New hackable PSP is good
New/old unhackable PSP is bad
February 25, 2009 at 7:19 am
I agreed completely Sony need to focus on the games or else the systems life could be shorter than expected…
February 25, 2009 at 7:29 am
I miss a touch screen. It would help a lot with internet and typing stuff…
February 25, 2009 at 7:45 pm
man… this is what sony should do go with that first one and add slightly stronger ps2 technology to support ps2 games and this time with the browser let it be like the computer browser and fully support video and no more of that not enough memory bull
February 25, 2009 at 11:53 pm
hmmm, Gizmodo says it’s a PSP 2, not a PSP 4000…
February 28, 2009 at 6:21 am
Read again…
February 28, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Read again… [2]
March 2, 2009 at 3:21 am
READ AGAIN IDIOT:
“That the new PSP-4000 will have a sliding screen a complete aesthetic overhaul. Using the existing PSP technology so it won’t be a PSP2….”
March 2, 2009 at 5:51 am
by the way, here’s my theory right now: It’s the current PSP hardware without the UMD drive, with a sliding-screen design and a touch-screen for iPhone-like web surfing. Games will be downloadable, and somehow there will be a way to copy UMDs to the new PSPs, somehow…
I’m probably way off… it’s just a theory
March 3, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Sold my PSP last year and bought an Xbox 360, but this is looking cool and i might get it, cause sliding screen would be cool…I just hope they will make new games….and better graphics.
March 12, 2009 at 12:48 pm
is this real?
how much is it?hehe=))
March 15, 2009 at 11:34 am
Well see if its real in due time I guess. No idea on the price but maybe the same as the current model
March 17, 2009 at 1:33 pm
The second one looks great, but the first one looks stupid. Just plain stupid.
March 18, 2009 at 8:49 pm
i wish peole stop on this new psp thing we havent got psp-3000 a year old yet and still not hacked so i dont see why sony would be up too make a new psp i would see a new psp and talk about it sum time in 2010 mid summer or fall
March 18, 2009 at 11:24 pm
MAN! If that is the psp-4000, then it would be uncomfortable for post players since it looks pretty darn small!!! That would not fit into my hands!!! SONY!! Please heed to the peoples voice and move onto PSP2!!!
March 20, 2009 at 2:01 am
Personally, I think the psp 4000 looks pretty sweet. But I’m expecting that Sony will make a new psp after that, and then a new one after that, and so on. We just have to keep on getting more high tech consoles. It’s a gamers life for me!
March 20, 2009 at 6:59 am
I also remember reading somewhere else that it might not be a PSP-4000 but the called PSP2. So Neil’s comments aren’t so stupid.
March 21, 2009 at 11:12 am
by getting 2 motion sensor the previous generations will become useless…so 2 motion sensors will mean a psp 2 not at all a psp 4000
March 22, 2009 at 11:28 pm
looks like an i pod touch with a ps handle on it bogus in a way but also thoughtful
March 24, 2009 at 2:07 am
tHIS SI SO SICK I MEAN LIKE REALY WTF THAT IS PIMPIN IM TOTALLY GONNA GET 1 LOOKS SUPER SICK BUT WONDERIN IF U CAN STILLL PLAY GAMES AND HAXS INTO IT
March 24, 2009 at 7:52 pm
i bet that the psp2 would be much better than the psp4000
March 26, 2009 at 7:56 am
this is just a rumor. check this site out…..closingablaze.com/2008/10/there-wont-be-psp-4000. and besides if their was, it would be unhackable like th psp 3000 or google it and see for your self!
March 26, 2009 at 11:41 am
I don’t belive it. dats BS I mean why would sont not release a PSP-4000 dats just gay. I will hack it. I will show the world I’m better than DAX!!!!
March 27, 2009 at 1:53 am
If you think so! good luck!
March 31, 2009 at 4:50 am

April 3, 2009 at 5:11 am
how much will psp-4000 cost
April 3, 2009 at 10:18 pm
No idea since its just a rumor and not even out yet….
April 6, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Finally 2 analog sticks now make cod 6 on psp and then theres no need for xbox
April 6, 2009 at 1:00 pm
If it comes with 2 analog sticks and is like the description im buying
:]
April 8, 2009 at 6:20 am
jeez sony should just give up , cuz its gonna be hacked sooner or later.
plus if i were to estimate the better the psp looks and how good the graphics are will determine wheter u will be BROKE or still have cash left. if u think about it it should be no less than $300.
hopefully they will stop tryin to stop ppl from hackin it and start makin better games or else they will lose customers
April 9, 2009 at 1:17 am
That look seems geared toward the DS design, much less of a psp.
Second, they should implement an L2 and R2 in the 4000, that or have a usb extension for the buttons.
April 9, 2009 at 5:16 pm
what is hacking/modding do to ur psp?
October 26, 2009 at 3:09 pm
i really hope it comes with a touch screen and dual analog sticks. i have a touch screen phone and i sometimes find myself touching my psp 2000 with the tip of my finger. im losing it. lol. i also hope it comes with internal- expandable 16gb memory and a 128bit RAM. Hopefully PS2 games will work if this psp later gets hacked after its released. im looking forward to this.
February 26, 2009 at 1:31 am
lol, bra you are right.But dont ya think psp game companies need $$ like EA, because they know dark alex wiil find one way on how to hack the 3000 so sony is pushing their ass 2 the limite creating the 4000 i dought it .. just like what u said
March 2, 2009 at 5:48 am
…please don’t breed.
