Rumour: New PSP Hardware — PSP-3000?!

greg | July 22, 2008

A new PlayStation Portable could be in the works… That’s according to PSP China where the following images have surfaced:

PSP-3000 Button Layout
PSP-3000 Back
PSP-3000 Ring

The rumoured PSP-3000 model is said to sport a built-in microphone, updated buttons, a few cosmetic changes, and possibly cell phone support.

Realer than real-deal Holyfield? Well, no official word from Sony, and we at PSP-Hacks are a little skeptic concerning the authenticity of these photos. For the moment, this should be treated as pure speculation.

LOL ! where is the PSP2 ? :P

2008-07-22 17:44:42

Hmm lets see. the phat is the psp-1000, slim is-2000, and this one is the psp-3000, so either your retarded or have no knowledge of PSP’s whatsoever, and none are technically the psp2 anyway.

2008-07-22 17:52:36

Yes lol im aware there is no psp2 and i’m not saying this is one either you fucking idiot.. all i’m saying is the psp has been here a while its about time we had a new handheld device to hack Fucker ! :)

??? That would have to be the weirdest comment. The phat is a great device but is crappy compared to the slim and this new one will probably be even better again … Phat = PSP1 then Slim = PSP2 this new one is a PSP3 ??? Makes sense to me I guess some people just don’t get it …

Eoh01, I’m not gonna lie to you. The PSP Slim is really PSP 1.5, with the Phat at PSP 1. It plays the same games as the Phat, has the same buttons, general shape, and very close to identical features.
What insanePSP wants to see is a totally new device on the market. One besides the numerous revisions of the Play Station Portable.

Yeah dude exactly .. i would like to see a new device not just ‘updates’ of the same shit… I’m all for my psp and have been hacking since the psp phat got released pretty much.. but its getting boring ! ;)

So is the PS2 slim the PS3 then? No it isn’t, so the phat and slim are not 1 and 2 Eoh01, Sony just did what they did with the PS2 and added TV out. That’s it.

O.o What?! Seriously, now I think Sony’s desperate for money, but they’re doing a good job on the PSP though. If it’s true, then I might buy it. Then again, I wonder about the price. o.o Maybe up to $200-$250.

Didn’t Dark_Alex spot something about a new PSP in the works a few Custom Firmwares ago through some sort of flag in the code? (or something like that)

Really not suprised at all.

Comment by PiercedDooD
2008-07-22 14:08:31

um, yeah, he spotted something that could be a system file for something like ???3G
IF i remember well, something similar happened b4 sony gave details of their new console, the psp slim/lite (or, PSP-2000)

 
Comment by Save state わ?
2008-07-22 14:13:02

I think its going to be a pain in the ass hacking it.

With PSP-2000 we just got lucky that someone managed to discover pandora.

I don’t know if we will get lucky like that again.

Sony isn’t playing with us anymore.
Weird enought they seem to finally started to take more seriously the Hacking Community.

Or they were doing it from the beggining and we just didn’t notice.

I’ve being tracking down some of their actions through analysing modifications through the PSP’s firmware.
Even though its purely speculation and probabbly only paranoia, i have a feeling Homebrew won’t be as easy in this one than the other series.

Proabbly Dax noticed this as well.

Then again, i didn’t say that Dax agrees with me, neither that i have any proof.
Its just my speculations.

For those lazy bastards:
TL:DR => PSP-3000’s security probably turning into serious busyness.

They can’t make it pandora proof.

And the psp needs an update anyway.

Comment by PiercedDooD
2008-07-22 16:32:58

they can make it pandora proof…

& @Save state わ:
well, these guys didnt got lucky on “discovering” pandora & btw, it was recreated just 6 months after the PSP-1000 series hacking begun, if youve been “tracking down some of their actions through analysing modifications through the PSP’s firmware”, i suppose that youve seen this vid….(oh nvm, i can find it)
well, it was an hour long explanation on how the psp’s backdoor works, how they managed to activate it, why it was released after sooo long, & why it still works on the slim…

What if they change the type of battery and make service mode inaccessible?

hmm…
with all this speculation in the air and all the images of a “PSP 3000″ I’m kind of surprised that it looks a lot like the PSP 2000…

idk, knowing Sony, if it does come out it will be 2 years from now and only available in Japan ;)

Comment by JoblessPunk
2008-07-22 15:50:40

sorry for the double post,
but looking at the back half of the “PSP 3000″ it doesn’t look like it will support dual nubs :/

Comment by gohan
2008-07-23 03:22:26

have you ever looked into a psp to see the analog sticks? they’re not very big/deep. the whole enclosure is no more than like 3 quarters stacked up. very small and simple. the back half of the unit has nothing to do with the analog sticks, since it just sits on the motherboard, but are actually attached to the face of the psp.

Who knows? Lets add this to the “rumor of the week files”. Didnt DA say the new official firmware supported hardrive use? Take a look at the pictures. The UMD tray is missing. After testing new units with Samsungs flash RAM failed,they went with a hardrive. Only time will tell.

This looks promising. It’s been a year now since the last one, they might as well release a new one, especially if it includes a hard drive.

If it still supports homebrew, I might buy it, since I’m still using a phat.

Comment by Byron™
2008-07-22 18:38:32

all they need to do to make it PANDORA proof is… change the battery shape… however we all know, as players, a few changes SHOULD take place,
dual analogue nubs they should be in a more comfortable place above d-pad , or blueray, they own that technology, bigger, badder games, better movies. you know, well we know. 2000 isnt much better than 1000 , i own them both. yes tv out, but it isnt the greatest, and yes they could use a built in mic if they are gunna include skype eh?

they should stop upgrading the psp and bring out the psp2 already. or else the psp2 might not look as great as it could be when it finally comes out.

Comment by Gunman121
2008-07-22 21:10:19

Even if they were making a psp2. They’d wait. Because if they released a psp2, no one would want the psp and the psp sales would drop. During EA, sony annouced they wanted 5 million more sales of ps2, 10 million of ps3 and 15 million sales of psp. So until that’s accomplished i doubt they’ll be a new one.

Comment by rivera82falcon
2008-07-22 20:25:30

I agree…it does look photoshopped big time. Lately, anything that has been coming from China, I just don’t believe or trust anymore due to the fact that a lot of rumors back track to them, and the products they make, suck!

Not being bias, but, that’s just what it feels like to me. Not saying anywhere else is better.

 
Comment by lone tiger
2008-07-22 21:00:36

it looks the same as my silver slim, i dont see any major differences except the built in mic and phone capability. i dont see a real deal to get happy about it unless they make some song games like american idol for psp.

from the case the psp door looks different cause ive taken my slim apart a few times

yea if u can fit 80 GB in a ipod u can put 80 in a psp =/ o wait sony is too cheap for tht it would be like $1000 for that. But seriously doubt they will do this because u can play iso’s on psp and this would just add insult to injury.

This is just a Custom faceplate for the PSPslim which they added the headset into the pspslim and changed the home button to the PlayStation symbol to look like the PS button on the PS3 controller.

Even if it was true, what would happen to all the game that are out now that are on the UMD? Does this mean that Sony is going to sell all their PSP stuff through copyable files, not UMDs?

 
Comment by Cory
2008-07-23 04:39:14

i believe that this is fake because if they wanted to stop homebrew in their tracks they could make a file that was fixed with information to stop us from having homebrew and unless we checked every single file we wouldn’t have known. besides they just released the slim not too long ago and with the release of ps3 they’ve been hurting a lot i really dont think that they would make a new psp with a built in mic because their headsets sold fast due to the online gameplay. and if they make it with cell phone capabilities it wouldnt be for the US.

Do you guys want to be part of something like that? I dont. I wish we all can stop putting fellow PSP hackers down, what is the point of that? Instead of that lets work together and I bet you we will get done much more, than by this empty blemish. Thank you brothers.

(besides Electronic Arts)….Electronic Architecture (show)?? Electronic Appliances (show)? Electronic Assembly??? I too have NEVER heard anyone refer to it as such, and if they did they are probably just a little uninformed. Damn, wish I could go to an E3 show :(

Unless it has:

An 8 way D-Pad with diagonal attacks

Built in mod lights and jewel lights that pulse and perhaps change color to music (this would be so badass it would dramatically improve sales among youth and new people for the coolness factor…ipods would look like shit)

Ability to lock folders (so friends cant see or delete media)

Better boot up times for games by cutting out that annoying ’segue’ into the game when launching (could replace it too)

Ability to run multiple apps when they are tiny in memory/cpu usage.

………………………………
Unless it has those things -the hardware particularly- I am completely uninterested.

Please forward this list to Sony and keep demanding them because they would be so cool.
