PSP 4000 Confirmed in Trade Advert?
An advert for a third-party LittleBigPlanet peripheral pack has appeared in UK trade paper MCV, which seems to confirm a new version of Sony’s PSP may soon be announced.
The advert can be found in issue 568 of the trade publication, which was placed by peripheral firm Accessories4Technology. The foot of the page clearly shows a list of compatible PSP models, which includes the long rumoured but as yet unannounced PSP 4000 model.
Analysts have said that Sony putting out another model of PSP - speculated to be a PSPgo with a UMD drive - is highly likely. “I think it is possible and likely that the PSP-4000 will support UMD, and I think that Sony will support whichever formats make it the most money,” Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter recently told us.

If this is true, arent we just going to end up with a slidey psp 3000. The one advantage of a PSP GO was how tiny and sleek it was. Put a UMD drive on that its no longer that small.
I think its time Sony called it a day on this generation of PSPs. We have the two options now, there is no need for yet another one.
Sony really need to focus on the PSP2, either that or put a phone in the PSP GO.
Price point will be interesting, it'll obviously be more expensive to manufacture than the PSP Go so you'd assume it'll have to be priced above, so back on the wrong side of £200 again for the PSP.
The PSP Go was deliberately overpriced, I would be very surprised if this isn't the same or less than the 3000.
Deliberately overpriced??? That's hilarious. Yeah, Sony loves losing millions.
No, the pricing of PSP Go is just the continued arrogance/hubris of Sony thinking they are offering a competitive product to the competition when they're actually playing catch-up (iPod Touch/iPhone in this case).
The PSP platform needs a complete reboot - not a cosmetic change. Either that, or Sony should just concede defeat to Nintendo and Apple and get out entirely (probably the more prudent option).
Oh gosh, someone's feeling a little fraught.
Nothing in that outburst actually counters my point.
You didn't have a point, you just spouted a load of nonsense (as usual). I mean, "The PSP Go was deliberately overpriced", seriously that has to be one of the most ridiculous statements i've read for some time. Would you care to clarify why you think this is the case?
Because Sony said they'd priced the product to compete with iPhone.
Didn't Sony tell everyone that they'd continue to include UMD in the main PSP line? Hardly news and hardly hard to predict under those circumstances.
