Next Generation - Interactive Entertainment Today, Video Game and Industry News - Report: Next Generation PSP Coming in 2007

PSM, which is a Future publication, cited unnamed sources, but nevertheless sounded confident that a retooled PSP is indeed forthcoming.

"It will not be the 'PSP 2," stated the PSM staff. "However, Sony is instead eyeing a page from Apple's iPod strategy and upgrading the existing PSP's specifications while keeping the retail price the same."

The mag even went into specifics as to what changes will be made. PSM pointed out that Sony recently made a deal with Samsung to purchase "a large amount of 8GB flash memory chips, which are to be built into the new PSP according to numerous semiconductor industry reports." PSM speculates that this increased built-in memory will facilitate Sony's PSP downloadable game and content strategy.

I highly doubt this will happen. There has been talk of the "PSP 2" comming, or the current PSP getting more features such as the camera for so long now. I do believe that there will be a new Playstation Portable in the future, but not for a while.

Im just saying that there is not a huge chance that this will happen. Do you know how long rumours about this have been going around? I want it to happen just as much as everybody else, but I just don't think it will be happening anytime soon.

i know because hes put down an every idea for a thread i had and give me a break as u said im new oh and non taken

Im not putting it down, I just dont think it will happen in the near future. I really want this to happen. I would love to have a built in camera instead of the bulky one I ordered from Playasia. Im not trying pesimistic, Im just stating my personal opinion. Sorry if I may have come across that way.
