PSP-4000 in advertisement deemed a 'mistake'

by Alexander Sliwinski on Dec 21st 2009 11:00AM

Last week's digital issue of MCV featured an advertisement for an accessory bundle mentioning the "PSP-4000." The listing has since been described as being nothing more than a mistake. Negative Gamer contacted A4G, which placed the ad, and the company's license manager said the mention of a new iteration for Sony's handheld was a "mistake on [their] part." The spokesperson was unaware of a new model.

Rumors of the UMD-enabled PSP-4000's existence have been floating around for a few months. These are not be confused with the longer-standing PSP-4000 rumors, which ended up heralding the PSP Go. Would a real PSP-4000 be considered a mistake?

The only way to play it will be to crush it in your hand.

Just about everything related to the PSP after the 2000 is a mistake.

Having a PSP-1000 and not seeing the point in geting any other version, I think I would actually get a PSP-4000 if it had all the features the PSP-Go! had, but with the structure of an original-series PSP (ie UMD). Mainly, I want to use the Bluetooth for the Dualshock3 and just play it on my HDTV.

I'm guessing that the new PSP-4000 will release early next year and have the following features that will make it similar to the PSPgo.

-Built in battery
-Built in flash memory
-Smaller M2 slot to replace PRO Duo
-Slightly thinner design due to the above

Actually ignore that.

This is more likely to be in the new PSP-4000

- Built in battery
- Bluetooth
- Smaller M2 slot (replace PRO Duo)
- Slightly thinner design
- UMD (of course!)

I removed the built-in memory as there would be no reason for sony to include that (the PSPgo focuses on digital distribution).

What do you guys think?

PSP 4000 would probably be the bastard child of PSP Go and PSP 3000 I imagine.

I think having a slightly different design then the previous numbered PSP would go a long way as well.

In the end, they should just make a netbook sized unit of which plays great looking games and hooks up to your television. Just have to figure out how to make it easy to play games on something that has to be in your lap.
