Redesigned PSP! Coming in September!
greg | July 11, 2007
Just saw this on IGN; one of the more interesting topics concerning the PlayStation Portable… Kaz Hirai has announced a new re-designed PSP available in September –
11:48: Kaz announces new PSP. 19% slimmer, 33% lighter, battery life longer, and expanded video capabilities. Available in September.
11:49: Hirai pulls up video of Spider-Man 2 on his PSP, presses a button, and the video suddenly appears on giant screen behind him. Part of the “display” function. Says that you can do the same thing with games, photos, and whatever else is on your PSP. New PSP will also allow you access PS3 and PC hard drives from anywhere in the world thanks to new connectivity options.
Intriguing! Will it prove more secure?!
- source: ign
wow
very good idea, highly expected since the PS2 slimline and redesigned PS1. However, i cant wait to see how much different this is and also the smaller size may not be that good if you like to “know” and able to hold the PSP.
Why cant they do this at the start, itd be good, not original, but good that way people could decide if they wanted a smaller one. The longer battery life should be made to original PSP owners at a cheap price compared to the £20 batteries available here.
^^
word
My question please some one answer them
is it hack prooth
how much well it cost
what about harddrive,
where booster, did he leave too,

they go in order. and since the psp doesnt have wifi, that means no internet, RSS, multi-player,tv, ect so all the things that required wireless, are un-usable.

prooth?
that comment… makes me want to hurt you. ITS NOT EVEN OUT YET sheezo!!
88, you are a fricking idiot, you can’t spell nearly anything right in your comment and you need an english lesson. Idiot.
same with you 99, you are fucking pathetic, go back to school, get the shit beat out of you, come back with better talking skills, fucking moron. IT’S NOT PROOTH, IT’S PROOF YOU DUMBASS. Actully, i think it’s the same dumbass that was 88. Go f*** yourself
old news isn’t it, i swear a month ago sony said they would release a psp with 8 gig, touch pad, smalleri can’t remember any of the other features. this is just like more features being released…
im not realy instrested I like my psp how it is now.
^^This is from IGN, ask them.
Ditto above.
A hard drive is bigger than a PSP.
This is comments for the new PSP, dumbass.
No, can you read?
Wrong article.
Ditto above.
You are an idiot.
I hope that helps.
“a hard drive is bigger than a psp”
yea, a computer hard drive is… Ipod’s have small hard drives as well as other portable media devices.
I’m sure they could make a small one to fit in a psp.
if they can make it smaller, I’d rather have about the same size with better battery, hard drive and games that utilize the processor full speed.
yah it could have a hard drive
If they are gonna add memory, odds are it is a separate flash chip containing accesible memory (mostlikely VIA USB). I think i remember someone saying that it had more battery life… hard drives have moving parts causing more energy wasted, where as a flash memory chip is enerygy efficient. Plus, Flash memory is much lighter, smaller, and cheaper.
so based on all of this, i think its safe to say its not a hard drive.
i believe they are going to use rom instead of flash for the firmware like they are in the euro versions of the psp to prevent custom firmwares
what would the rom do to prevent hacking? ahh this is making me angry cuz now we have to spend more money to get the next PSP
no we don’t… why do we have to have it? doesn’t your psp work just fine?
slim ps2 and ps1 didn’t drop compatibility with prior games I doubt psp will either.
Smokethis - there already is an 8 gig memory stick O.o
he ment a built in 8GB memory. I remember reading about it too. Something about a PSP with “Built in Camera, built in 8GB of Flash Memory, longer battery life” all that. Seamed real at the time.
and dont forget the 120% brighter screen and a mic that also comes with the camera and its own chat room.
i have some other question for you
i ask is it hack proof you siad for 67 points
you said its too big thats funny cause thats what your mom told me last night
This just show how immature you are, and the PSP isnt our yet so how the hell would anyone know if its hack proof? They wont deliver it without a firmware like 3.51 so yes in the beginning it wont be hackable ofcourse. other then that, NOBODY KNOWS
Incorrect, in this video his firmware clearly reads 3.50
Incorrect, it says 3.60.
haxxor, is the PSP slim released yet? no its not, do you think they will release hte PSP with a hackable firmware when they got an unhackable? no, dont be silly lol, and most people say its 3.60 on it, i havent checked but sounds more reasonable
Lolz, I like how someone said a hard drive is bigger than a PSP. Yea, so ima guess the 60gig iPOD’S are all memory sticks huh?
As for the new design, it will only interest me when…
1. It’s hack enabled.
2. It costs dirt cheap
3. If I get a cookie
…nuff said
Yes, I agree, hacking enabled is a must, or I shan’t buy it. Too bad DAX isn’t here to help with this one. Miss you, man!
Makes me wish they’d have kept the downgrader exploit secret. Then there would have been a chance to see homebrew on the new PSP.
there will always be future downgrader exploits sony always messes up somewhere
Wow. way to copy the Nintendo series. Nintendo keeps updating the same system over and over, like the Game Boy Advance series, and now the Nintendo DS series. but they do it cuz they are improving on the problems the previous system had. this sounds like a PSP2 rather than a improved PSP. but whatever, even with that stuff, think about how practical it would be to buy if you have the original PSP already. not worth it in my eyes, unless you don’t have a PSP yet. i’ll continue to play every super Nintendo and Sega genn. games ever made for my PSP, thanks.
Wow you’re the coolest!
this sorta sucks but you could maybey get the older ones cheaper but im gonna have to get one of those but id rather just have a 8gig ms for my old one if u can’t do anything w/ it
yea i dont this will be slimmer guess screen will be same. i like the loghter idea and battery i could care less,casue my sht jst lasts forever. the only reason they will have a rom based firmware is becasue they dont plan on upgrading(i guess) either way i like it but dont need it. ill problyget it when it becomes hackable, maybe this will intrest DAX?
I thought it was in october…
http://e3.gamespot.com/story.html?sid=6174199&pid=939453&tag=top_stories;title;6
Just wondering, is the tv-out signal produced from usb-port?
If is, then there is no need to get newer PSP model… I guess someday there will be new custom firmware based on fw 3.60 :)
the video out uses the same jack as the headphones
I, for one, hope that it is Hack-proof.
The new PSP being secure would encourage actual developers to create more games for the system without the worry of the rampant piracy that hombrew/custom firmware has brought. You guys complain constantly and tell Sony to give up but this is why they have to make sure that it’s secure, not for you, for them, but for the game company’s themselves.
That being said, having the old PSP still hacked and the new one being secure, one could expect the best of both worlds with homebrew and new games on the old one.
The current hackability of the firmware has not stopped developers coming out with games like ratchet and clank, god of war, and all those hundreds of titles announced during that conference!
Those are both first party games. Of course Sony will develop games for their own system no matter what. Think before you write.
You said it would encourage actual developers to create more games, you did not say whether they were first or third party developers. But since you insist:
Lumines (Bandai)
GTA:LCS (Rockstar)
MGS (Konami)
Burnout (EA)
Ridge Racer (Namco)
PES (Konami)
Football Manager (Sega)
Final Fantasy (Square)
Are all third party games, and there are plenty more to come. I recall an interview where either the Daxter or Ratchet and Clank developers actually went to SCEA to solicit to develop that franchise on the psp, so I don’t think hackability was in their plans.
Also, hackability of Xbox, PS2 and DS have NOT STOPPED developers developing for those platforms.
In any event, first or 3rd party developers are irrelevant, if the lineup is strong.
reverend, you just got pwned. think before you write.
lol, noob, the hacking abilities of the PSP is what has kept it alive if this PSP can’t be hacked it’ll crash like a bomb
http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/sonys-thinner-lighter-psp-hands-on/
Unless this version of the psp has a second nub. Whats worth another $200 for another one. Wow it’s gonna give you a few games also. Cool. That’s gonna get me to the store and buy one right now. I can’t wait to get another PSP. I’m gonna go part out at the store right now. Where’s my camping gear @. Damn dog pee’d on the sleeping bag. Guess I’ll have to freeze.
SONY, What a let down. Where’s all the shit that was suppose to be made and released for the one that was already released.
Seems funny how they can sit there and bitch about losing sales and revenue. but, They can go out and make new hardware. If I wasn’t so into Playstation, I’d sell my PS1, PS2, PSP. I sure and the hell aint gonna go out and buy a PS3. Specially for $600/$500.
I think Sony is one back assworded Company. They say one thing and do another. Here’s what you can look forward for and but hey, You aint gonna get it cause We’re just telling you that so you’ll buy one.
you have a PS1, PS2, and PSP? when are you gonna get a PS3?
thank god….
new hardware & software = new hack vunerablilities = new custom firmware :D
awsome, thx sony
Hahaha a new fw waiting to be hacked, more homebrew and such, but to fork out more for a redesigned machine sucks
Yes! bout time they officially announce the PSP Slim.
I am going to buy it after its hacked though, any pics of it?
ill bet the “faster loading” is just the psp clocked at 333mhz..haha what a laugh, we all got that already, i just hope they dont make games only for the new system…that would suck
Actually, according to the specs, it’s tricked out with 64MB, rather then the phat’s 32.
fuck
I just hope we can customize the XMB and stuff…that’s what I use CFW for…
well yea this is old news they have been talkin about a new psp lyke they did for the DS. i cant believe this is a surprise to u guys
for real, I’ve expected a psp redesign since the year it first came out. I really expected internal storage flash or hdd but I guess not.
there really might not be a difference software wise they are most likey gonna keep the eboot form and still gonna send updates just like nintendo did with the ds and i guarentee its gonna be hackable
I was hoping for a more stylish one (p.s. they got pics of it on other sites). It looks no different, the mockups looked better. They should have intergrated memory and advertised it as an”hd” mobile media player. Contest the ipod and the zune with its huge screen. Also, they should have intergrated the mic and camera. Then they could have advertised it as a great video and picture camera. Along with good advertising they could have sold me on buying a new one. There is no reason to buy this new psp. Barley anything surprising besides it “slimness” which isn’t a big hardware advancement. The only way they are going to sell these things if they have the current psps dirt cheap ($99?) and have the slim take over the original price ($125). Imagine, if they were able to have built in memory around the 100gbs they could really kick off the psp as a media player, they have the technology but they insist on keeping the memory stick (another sony format that isn’t a success).
good point, however, there would be no possible way it could be so cheap. and they’d have to call it the PSP2 or the PSPX, and as for the internal memory with that gaming tech in there already, you’ve just bumped the price up to at least $250-$300. but if they changed it into a straight media player and not a gaming PSP, that would keep the price low, however, it would make it’s only real advantage the big screen. but if they could make it play AVI videos, it’d be the number one bought PSP-M????? over the iPod and the Zune. nice idea you had :)
I’ll wait until after I get the thumbs up that it is able to be hacked. No point in getting it otherwise.
Wow I wasent to impressed by the looks of it. It looks identical from a far view but when Kaz filipped it around it did look thiner, but not by much. Hopefully good things will happen with it.
[Watching G4 E307 Live now] =)
I can’t comment on the PSP-lite internal functions and hackability.
But based on the engadget pictures there seems to be minor improvements on the exterior like the relocated earphone-remote plug and speaker hole and smoothed out the edges that cause a bit abrasion on my current PSP.
But it’s no PSP2 as it still got that horrible UMD drive!
Unless it’s hacker/homebrew friendly and gets rid of the terrible UMD drive, and maybe replaces the UMD drive with a second battery compartment and accept SD cards(will never happen);…
… until Sony actually improves the PSP then I willn’t even think one bit of getting a PSP-2/lite.
Dude… How the hell do you expect to play games on your PSP without a UMD drive?! >_>
Improvement of the Playstation Store would really help, content is alot safer on my hard drives and MemorySticks than on flimsy UMDs.
With the falling prices of SSD technology like SanDisk pushing around $10 per GB, I can’t be bother to be ripped off by Sony to buy UMDs.
Sony is really not helping the PSP with is current look or style hey are sticking with. It is a update to the last PSP not a PSP2 like some think it is. All they did really was upgrade small features and smooth it out. I thought they would at least answer the call of their customers by adding another analog stick and really making it thinner with the camera and mic and so forth as already mentioned. $200 isnt a bad price for it but damn make that shit more attractive then the current version we have. Not leave it be and just do some lazy ass minor work. Dont get me wrong I love my PSP but if your gonna make a upgrade or improve something make it more attractive and add what the customer wants.
Fuckin please make 2 analog sticks FUCK!!!
ok first of all, this was old news. This has been talked about for a long while now (I’m talking 4months ago or so), all they did was confirm it’s existence. Also as for homebrew, well I don’t think I’d buy it until an exploit is found. I’m more worried on how this will impact the homebrew comunity. PSP hacking will now have a new set of rules one for the old PSP and the new one. This will confuse many noobs and not to mention make things a little harder for the old PSP users to continue enjoying homebrew… I guess what I’m trying to say is, this kinda sux for us, yet I really do like the new model… I just wish I were rich so I can afford both >_>
Any ideas on when PSP GPS is coming to North American shores?
Never because Sony is racist..the basterds
ill wait till someone hacks it before i buy it plus once someone hacks it PRICE DROP!!!! lolz cant wait though
i probably wont bother with this thing unless some PS3 hacks start happening soon. My guess is the PSP was kind of like a prototype for the PS3 as a bigger design, and they learned from the security flaws found in the PSP’s release when they designed it. Now after it’s been out about a year with no real homebrew, they have decided to go back and apply that design to become a replacement for the PSP so they could move forward without enabling the homebrew scene any further. It’s probably going to be the same as the PS3- encrypted internal memory, isolated DRM subsystem, etc.
Not so interesting news, now that DAX is retired. :(
Anyway…im seeing how much its going to take hackers to haxor this thing off.
Cheers.
Sorry to break it to everyone but this new psp has no IR, so No IR keyboard control!
Wow that sure is pointless…
I’ll buy one if they’ve fixed that fucking pointless power / hold switch…
Apparently, the new PSPs will have Video Out built in, this is a seller for me, how awesome would it be to hook up your PSP to your Television and play it big screen. :)
i’d personally be more interested in an option that allows the Sixaxis controller to control the PSP, thereby saving the need to wear out the buttons on the unit.
here it is
http://gigazine.jp/img/2006/08/31/new_psp/new_psp.jpg
i seen the new psp image and it doesn’t looked like the old one. I hope we can use the accessory and the UMD on the old psp to new one. If it not they’re trying to scammed your money.
This kinda pissed me off…my psp broke a month ago and i just got a new custom firmware psp in perfect condition in the mail today and later on that day found out there is actually going to be a redesign, well imo i think they’re going to try their best to get it as hack-proofed as they can before it comes out, so i guess i can use my old psp for the homebrew shit and even though i hate to say this….and just buy the redesign psp for playing actual psp games and all the few extras that come with it mostly the video out option.
and 2 analogs pls!
