The original statement is over 2 months old. PSP Updates quotes Sony sources as clarifying this as being something planned for some unspecified point in the future.

why dont they just continue with the PSP 2  design?

my freind showed me a magazine i think, it was a  psp one anyway and it had a pic of one inside, which i dont have

 

dual screen, 2 analog sticks, im not sure about the touch screen though, main colour is white instead of black

Just got one this week, too, but if the "new" one had dual analog sticks, then I'd trade in mine for a new one in a millisecond.  If its just smaller and lighter, that's not enough for me to get rid of the one I have and get a new one.

just read in todays Game Informer Magazine it is true. Here I will quote it word for word:

For the first time UK Sony Executive Ray Maguire has confirmed the widely believed plan to release a redisigned PSP. Maquire characterized the new psp as smaller and lighter, but said the handhel's screen size would remain the same. No word on wether the system would come down in price, although Sony has coincided a price-drop with a redesign in the past.

Well that was in May Magazine of Game Informer, it's true, but I am still happy with mine till I see this next gen one. Ha!

If they do i hope it's foladable(doesn't need dual screens just fold so it doesn't have the screen exposed the whole time, and the analog stick on top of the D pad. we'll see i think they will redesign, a redesign just means we found a way to make the stuff cheaper and smaller so we can make the unit differant now,.

My first post on this site!

Anyways I already have a psp and I enjoy it very much, but true upgrades that were listed above would be nice. But in reality if the new psp will come out it will take numerous years to produce the new system. Although its not a whole brand new thing but shrinking it down will still take at least 2 years to produce. Until then we have to dream...

yeah it's likely Sony is planning to make a newer version of the PSP, surely technology has improved since they made the original ..... the question is when are they going to show it off and how much of an improvement will it be? Until these and other questions (cost?) are answered I'm more than happy with my current PSP :D

That would be a great idea, I guess we will see. I just read on the news post of gamespot that they are taking a giant loss with PS3 so who knows maybe they won't even make any more ?

Honestly it seems like everyone is redesigning something. Look at nintendo with their gb to gbc their gba to gba sp to micro and their ds to dslite. Nintendo has a good marketing campaign with redesigns and hopefully sony is learning from that. I just can't to see what the redesign is going to be...

Well someone her mentioned that it would be cool that the PSP now folds so it fits in your pocket and protects the screen, I think that would be great.

Well Sony redesigned Playstations 1 and 2 So PSP is next. I get "PSP Slimline" or whatever they end up calling it.
