New Advert confirms Sony PSP 4000

The Lost Gamer writes "The advert, from Accessories4Gamers Ltd., details that it is suitable for 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and PSP Go models too… wait… 4000?! Uh oh, seems like someone has maybe confirmed recent rumours too soon!"

[Mildrop]

Im sure Sony have plans to do something to further improve their technology, just wish one day I would get suprised rather that others mistakes leaking the confirmation

[Seedhouse]

It's disappointing to see that these things leak out ahead of time, yet it should be obvious to those designing these adverts whether certain information is ready to be released or not.

Either that, or they're doing it on purpose...

[gaffyh]

Accessories4Gamers, really? You really think this is a confirmation rather than just a mistake?

I'm not saying that a PSP-4000 isn't coming, but it wouldn't be confirmed by a random advert. I could make one right now in Photoshop and say, PSP-5000 is coming.

[Seedhouse]

Of course you could, but this is taken from a respected Gaming Magazine - no opportunity to Photoshop other than at the source.

I doubt either Accessories4Gamers or MCV would risk adding in a PSP-4000 symbol into an advert just for a laugh...

[Minimox16]

Well im like Sony a lot!! almost everything in my room its from Sony, except my underwear clothes :P, but i think is time for the PSP2 and not another model, the PSP had done Great!! not other portable console could match or hold in the battle of portable with Nintendo has a rival, now that the PSP has a Strong fans base i think the PSP2 will do great! and will sell more that the PSP, but Sony need to innovate with something big( and if i know sony its always innovating!)

[Blaze929]

Does Sony NOT want potential PSP buyers to buy a PSP? Like everytime you think the latest one will be here for awhile, rumors yet again pop up of another model. I'm still on my PSP-1000 and very happy with it but it would be nice to upgrade. I just wish I could do so without feeling like an idiot who just bought an apple product :/

[Bonsai1214]

all i want is wireless g. not even n. g. and internal memory. memory cards suck.

[Disccordia]

Blaze is right, Sony need to stop with all these psp skus. It's confusing for new customers and annoying for existing ones. They should just concentrate on developing a psp2 and making it as good as it can possibly be instead of adding minor adjustments to something that's nearly 5 years old.

[Arnon]

PSP-2000 here. I really want another analog stick for Monster Hunter. Once I get that, then I probably wont ever purchase another PSP SKU.

[pain777pas]

@ Minimox16 I agree. They should be gearing up for the successor at this point but I have a funny feeling that this will be huge E3 for gaming in general.

[Bnet343]

Yeah, just stop.

[divideby0]

hence why I didnt buy a Go...besides the high price and only DD

[nix]

give us PSP 2 already. with two analog stick.

[raztad]

I'm strongly against the PSP2 or any PSP hardware bringing incompatible games for my current PSP. More power is not what the PSP needs. I'm sure Sony knows it and I hope they keep supporting the current fanbase.

[SuperStrokey1123]

No, but it does need dual analog sticks!

[Ssxtreme36]

Just give me 2 analog sticks with backwards compatible support for the games i already purchased and ill consider buying it.

[Noctis Aftermath]

Duel analog sticks will only be released with the PSP2 and not any newer PSP1 models.

[TapiocaMilkTea]

what is the big deal with dual sticks.......I don't even use it on my PS3, but then I don't play FPS or racing game, is that what it's for? It's really not essential for everyone.....

[wildcat]

wouldn't get very far with only one analog stick

[BWS1982]

I don't think I've played a single game that didn't inject either function or necessity into the dual analogs, so I have no clue what games you play...A PSN game or something? A PS One classic? I can't recall ever playing any game without them being used at some point (usually by requirement), shooter, sports, adventure, RPG, racer, puzzle, trivia, they all worked or were required, and usually, required...What mass of games do you play that never use them? Or are you just saying you don't play very many (that's not meant as an insult, I'm honestly asking out of confusion and for clarification)..??

[Batzi]

I thought PSP Go was the PSP 4000! maybe that was a typo??

[Seedhouse]

If you look at the image, there's PSP 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and PSP Go mentioned as compatible :)

[DaTruth]

Underneath to PSPGo it says PSP-N1000!

[EpsilonTeam]

Oh man not again :(

[whoelse]

Judging from the poor sales of the PSP despite the Go and great titles this year, I think Sony need to hurry up with the PSP 2.

[solidt12]

Sales are doing great in Japan. So I doubt they will rush. I bet there will be a new PSP anounced right before or at E3 2011 though

[Arnon]

The PSP's selling just fine, but I most certainly would like a new PSP, and not just another model.

[whoelse]

Especially in the US and Europe, sales are down from last year despite Sony's effort.

[Noctis Aftermath]

Sony won't just drop the psp once the psp2 comes out, look at the ps2, if it sells they will sell it.

[Neo Nugget]

I really won't be buying the psp2 anytime soon. I'm probably going to wait until the price drops and they come out with a psp2 go. :)

[richard4481]

I would certainly look towards buying a PSP 4000 rather than a GO, nice find

[fuckitimout]

HAZE is the best game ever made imo

[Cartesian3D]

thank god that Im not you. otherwise that was my opinion. /jk

[SuperStrokey1123]

Oh my thats so true!

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Listen...I'm happy for ya...

...and I'ma letchu finish...

...but Superman 64 got the greatest story of all-time.

[fuckitimout]

and shaq-fu along with def jam: icon are the best fighting games of all time. and thanks for the job too...u ROCK!

[fuckitimout]

i need a job. hire me. i like games and forums. ill write articles for you guys :)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Ok. Ya got the job!

[fr0sty]

again, our site (psinsider) nails another rumor.

we don't get them all right, but so far we're doing better than not.

[Solo227]

Sony please spear us... We want a completely new PSP...

2 sticks
touch screen
built in 32 gigs
An App store
and BC to all PSP games
A mini camera for video skype would be the icing on the cake...

[tomsau]

*sacrifices solo*
yes, Sony, please spear him

[TheCagyDies]

lol

[pcz]

what does 4000 signify? Just makes it sound like a 'cool' toy, rather than a sophisticated piece of handheld technology.

[Handhelds_FTW]

That the 4000 will have built in flash memory + inflated price that will bring, to witness the mass hypocrisy unfold.

If no major changes happen other then whats been said, people will soon forget that the previous versions will be able to do the same for a much higher price than the GO.

But that wont matter, I bet the 4000 will get praise and sucked-off before it can get out of its box by the masses.

[BlackIceJoe]

I for one gladly would welcome a PSP 4000. I think the PSP Go with its 16 gigs is great. I already have a PSP so I did not want to lose the ability to play my games. So if a PSP 4000 comes out I will upgrade. Plus I also like being able to have my disks over just a download. So I hope this is true and that the PSP 4000 will be like the PSP Go.

[FuckinUsername]

Read about this in MCV yesterday...was like "hmm there isn't a PSP 4000 yet is there?"

[Feral Gamer]

Wow, talk about rehashes Sony! Enough with the PSP already! It's time Sony ditched the PS2 and PSP and focused on PS3 and PSP2.

[saimcheeda]

2 analog sticks, another GOW , an UC game would make anyone buy a PSP!

[The Iron Sheik]

I'm not buying a new PSP unless it has a right analog stick!

I was playing the MGS Peace Walker Demo and it is so akward controlling your reticle with the face buttons although not impossible. Still a great game and a buy for me.

[Kizwiz6]

My psp got stolen and so I am interested in buying another.
But the games suck without a second analog stick, and so I wont buy any more stupid psp remodels without one.

[R6ex]

2 Analog Sticks!

Sony, you hear us?

I've waited for years already!

[multipayer]

I thought for sure it was a goner...

I sold my last psp, but held onto castlevania chronicles and metal slug anthology because I loved them to much.

[Mikeyy]

I'll stick with my PSP 1001 fat.

For obvious reasons.

/looks at my pandora battery

[Djinn]

For *uck's sake. I literally just ordered a PSP yesterday. If this is true, I'm going on a killing spree.

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

if Sony did release another model of the PSP.At the end of the day its another choice/option for prospective buyers.So long as Sony support ALL their products then thats all that matters.

What I dont understand (anyone feel free to correct me on this) is why Sony dont push a PS3 / PSP BUNDLE considering their connectivity. Surely BOTH consoles would see increased sales from this.

[pcz]

Can we all petition to have them removed? they are doing my head in! at least advertise something that is relevant to gamers. Instead i am greeted by some ill/dehydrated looking men posing, and it is really pissing me off now. it puts me off wanting to visit here.

[Cajun Chicken]

PSP Go, all digital download and no backwards compatability be gone. I'm actually glad for 4000 to exist. UMD FTW.
