While we wouldn't be surprised to see another revision sometime in the platform's planned 10 year lifecycle, we don't think this is anything more right now than some web designer being prepared for the future.

Now they just need a screen as good as the DS Lites but bigger. Zero ghosting, needlessly bright et al. Thx.

DS- the colours change in contrast if I tilt it vertically. Horizontally there is only a slight drop in brightness. (DS Lite, very early UK model).
PSP- gets lighter if tilted horizontally or vertically. (PSP-2000, Oct '07 UK model)
Playing the DS is like playing a game on a fookin nice modern monitor. Playing a PSP is like watching a cheap HDTV. They need to fix the ghosting and get it slightly brighter/more vivid colours).
On a side note my old fat PSP had the shittest ghosting. Pretty much everything was unplayable.
Uh, seriously? You sure you don't have that backwards?
The original DS's screens had a pretty poor backlighting. Colors were faded-looking. Nor did it look like the screen was evenly lit all across. The viewing angle was limited, as was interference from natural light.
The DS Lite, even on the lowest brightness setting, still looks better than the DS's screens. Colors are more vibrant. The screens looked evenly lit all across. The viewing angle is greater, and doesn't look AS bad out in the sun (still bad, but that's just backlighting in general, I guess).

Not to say the DS Lite is perfect. There are legitimate issues with the redesign, as its smaller size may lead to discomfort with some, and GBA Game Paks sticking out.
But saying the original DS had better screens? That's ridiculous.

Oh, sure, flash memory is getting cheaper all the time (as long as it's not Memory Sticks, they're more than double the prices of SD cards or USB flash drives). But still nowhere near as cheap as disc-based media.
An increase in material costs = an increase in game price tags. Don't expect Sony to cut out the money that'd go towards publishers/developers/etc.
Logical PSP changes:
1) Second analog nub (for the true successor, at least)
2) Better screens
3) Internal flash memory?
4) Clamshell design (to protect that big screen)

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE PSP LOGO PASTED OVER THE LOGO FOR THE CARTOON NETWORK SHOW, CLASS OF 3000. YOU CAN SEE THE LOGO HERE:

THEY ARE PROBLY JUST SAYING THAT YOU CAN WATCH CLASS OF 3000 ON YOUR PSP!

Get rid of the plastic umd casings, and turn the top of the psp into a more compact slot loading umd drive. With the psp3000 box contents should include a umd disc removing tool to take the discs of legacy games out of the plastic cases, and make purchasable a reusable plastic case for older PSPs to play the newer games.
UMD discs in their current form are giant pieces of crap that nobody wants to carry around. Tiny discs in a tiny disc wallet would be awesome.
