Sony UK Boss Confirms Redesign
March 13th, 2007 by Gibran Nawaz in Business, Hardware, PSP, Portable
I won’t even try to recap on all the stuff this rumor has been through, but now it is completely 100% official (trust me guys) that there is a Playstation Portable redesign in the works. Ray Maguire, SCE UK managing director, has said that a smaller and lighter PSP is on the way. The screen size will be unchanged, and the price will also be significantly lower. No word on when we’ll be seeing it in stores.
“In the longest term, of course we are always looking at ways to continue our platform development, and this normal business practice is what Ray was referring to.”
So this is finally what we’ve all been waiting for. I wonder how the piece of hardware will look; anything like the Nintendo DS lite?

There is also talk of it being Cell Phone capable! I noticed too, that Amp’d Mobile Cell Phones are capable of playing many PSP games, Brothers in Arms, FFVII Dirge of Cerebus, etc.! Probably better played on PSP but that Amp’d Mobile phone has everything including $.99 song downloads and a Micro SD card expandable to 1gig.
Right now Amp’d Mobile online sales are having a massive sale. Even on their “Pay as You Go” phones or Hybrid plans. The Hollywood Phone with free blue tooth headset and car charger, plus 100 or 100 text messages free, come with a $100 rebate so the Phone is basically Free and you just pay for your plan. Hybrid plan is month to month no contract $30 = 500min $49 = 1000!
You can also upgrade to their Hybrid or Full Contract plans from “Pay As You Go”. They offer full TV channels, Movies, and a ton of games. That Hollywood Phone is also better than the other two in features. Great deal! At until PSP comes with a phone.

Wonder if it will be clamshell with a touch-screen lol. Sonys design department are the biggest nintendo fanboys.
Monarky I installed the ps1 emulator gear on my psp and for the first time in 7 months am actually using it so thanks for the heads up
