It's the end of the week, which calls for a new volume of Ask PSP Fanboy! Each week we'll collect your questions, and each weekend a new volume of Ask PSP Fanboy will appear on the front page. If you've got a question, send an email to justin.eaton @ weblogsinc .com with the subject "Ask PSP Fanboy."
Q. I heard that Mega Man 9 isn't playable on the PSP. Why would it not be?
A. Mega Man 9 was developed for PS3, Wii, and XBLA. I'm not sure that there are technical limitations in the game, I believe it's just a matter of which platforms they felt would benefit most. I would love to see Mega Man on the PSP, but that's up to the developers. Considering PSP's ability to play downloadable games, this seems like a no-brainer.
Q. Do you think SCEI will release a "PSP-4000" model? If so, what do hope they will change?
A. With the PSP-3000 just around the corner, I'd like to think we have some time before another model. With that said, I would like to see some internal flash memory.
Q. With the PSP 3000 launching next month, do you think many retail outlets will clearance out their stocks of the PSP 2000s?
A. We might see a few sales here and there, but they'll likely be online, or on an individual basis. Sony hasn't announced any plans to discount them before the PSP-3000 launch.

Q. When the PSP-3000 comes out in October will just be in the Ratchet and Clank bundle or will they have core systems too?
A. The PSP-3000 will launch on October 14th in the Ratchet & Clank Entertainment Pack , with a Core Pack coming "later this year." I would assume sometime between November and the holidays.
Q. I'm really excited about LittleBigPlanet on the PS3, do you think they'll make a version for the PSP too?
A. For now, Media Molecule is focusing on the launch of the PS3 game, but they've confirmed that they were discussing a possible PSP version. Stay tuned.
