PSInsider Writes: Our source nails another rumor with the PSP 4000 (quoted in the article), and has been nice enough to give us a bit more insider info on the happenings in the gaming industry.
Does Sony NOT want potential PSP buyers to buy a PSP? Like everytime you think the latest one will be here for awhile, rumors yet again pop up of another model. I'm still on my PSP-1000 and very happy with it but it would be nice to upgrade. I just wish I could do so without feeling like an idiot who just bought an apple product :/
It was large, heavy and unwieldy. It's drive sounded like a hairdryer. I went through two different exchanges before I got one that didn't have any dead pixels on the screen.
Oh, and the battery life sucked, as well.
The 2000 was a vast improvement, in my eyes. Better screen, extra ram for the UMD drive, video out, slimmer, slicker. 3000 was a turn for the worse, with few added features and an interlaced screen.
I have a Go now, and I think it's brilliant. Screen is perfect, albeit smaller. No noisy UMD drive. My favorite iteration of the device. All you traditionalists can enjoy your UMDs, their cases rattling about in your bag like a child with his Pokemon cards. Digital for me, all the way. Oh, and it's about the size of my Iphone, only a little thicker. That's a pretty impressive feat of engineering in and of itself.
The 4000 might be worth it (they should put a 16G flash on, too, but probably won't for cost reasons). But fix that screen and add Bluetooth. Sounds good to me.
I like my Go a lot, too. The size alone does it for me. Bluetooth is just brilliant. Skype calls with your Go in the pocket and just the head set on. Or DS3 controller playing Pixeljunk Monsters. Only, my PC can't sync to the Go via Bluetooth (that works so great with my Nokia - even incoming calls are reported now), and I can just open a folder on the desktop copying my MP3s to the phone (or manage them via Media Go) over bluetooth. That's the only thing missing. You still have to hook that up using USB.
I first seen a pspgo up close about a month ago and it suprised me, it was a great deal smaller and sleaker then the psp-3000, if it was not for the $400 price tag(Australia) and the lack of games library i would of bought one on the spot.
Have to agree, the quality of the "source" writing makes it sound like a two year old has written it. Hate being harsh, but that entire article is clearly written by one person fishing for hits IMO.
complete bull, just like psp 4000, ps3 slim, price cut, fw 3.0... yeah. bull. not like I didn't provide links to prove the credibility of the source and all...
if you actually read the article you'd know why it was in the 360 section. as for the source being a "12 year old"... got any proof of that? could it just be that they don't natively speak english and therefore do not type like an educated american would?
but of course, I shouldn't have to prove someone wrong that only has 2 bubbles... you obviously don't have much pull around here.

I'd wait until the 5000 comes out guys.
Around the same time the PSPgo was rumored to be released, so was the PSP 4000. It's just the PSPgo with a UMD, nothing more.
I am sorry but all of this is complete bull.
If the PS3 supports PSP games there will be a load more games released for the PSP since now you just increased the users base by 30 million.
