New PSP - "PSP 3001" Coming Soon

Published by Yoshi on Aug 16th 2008 There have been rumors in the gaming industry that a new PSP model was already being produced and now, thanks to a filing with the FCC, it seems a new model is actually on the horizon - the PSP-3001.

The only information we have so far is a diagram (pictured below) and a little bit of detective work has revealed that there will be some kind of update to the wireless components. The filing suggests that the wireless components may be upgraded to 802.11g Wi-Fi (currently 802.11b).

The diagram doesn't show any of the changes that have been rumored for the new PSP model. Rumored changes include the addition of a microphone and maybe even a built in camera. It is probable that the PSP-3001 will be thinner again to the Slim PSP.                                                  

If the new PSP is already in production, it will be interesting to see when it is released - possibly late November, just in time to maximise on the Christmas 'present buying' market.
