PSP-3001 unmasked by FCC, good parts remain veiled

by James Ransom-Wiley on Aug 14th 2008 12:15PM

The PSP-3000 series is real, folks. And that's about as far as we get in today's episode. The FCC filing for the "PSP-3001" has been pulled, thumbed and returned. What was found looks disappointingly similar to the current PSP hardware model, though there is that thick wall of confidentiality standing in the way (the one we're just dying to take a sledgehammer to). From what we can see, there appears to be no evidence of the rumored built-in mic or "Home" button redesign, and the metallic ring doesn't look any thinner. You can see for yourself in the alternate views posted after the break.

Finally!!!!!! currently I'm still using a the PSP 1000(or what I call the PSP heritage) and when I heard about this I skipped the 2000 series and Hope to be in line for the 3001.

WTF!I hate the fact that The PSP redesigns are so useless, at least the DS redesigns changed the overall body altogether to make you think its a whole new thing, this one doesnt lie to anyone

I DON'T LOVE YOU

I was just thinking....why are they bothering?

They just released a redesign not too long ago?

I agree for the most part that a second analog stick would ruin the market for people with old PSP's. And for people who JUST bought the recent redesign, like me.

But at the same time I really do think that if they wanted to they could add another stick and then release a usb peripheral analog stick compatible with the older models.

That or what Monkeys Suck suggested would be a simple solution to that problem.
