according to here:

http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psp&thread.id=3365602

there is somewhat confirmed news for a psp 3000 model.

This being said should I wait for it or buy 2000 now? I cant wait for patapon 2 MC:LA remix, Resistance on the psp but should I just wait?

Also, is the new psp a completely different psp or just an upgraded model like the fat to slim?

I would go ahead and just buy a PSP now, because even if this news was true (and I dont think it is), the earliest it would come out in 2009 or 10.

id get the psp 2000 now its a great product. and i have yet to be dissapointed in it. its just the games and the reviews that dissapoint me about the psp in general and the big complainers. get nhl 07 for psp and enjoy hockey on the go. that is what keeps the dust off my psp.

now what would be a piss off would be if they actually introduced that internal hard drive. here is the old psp users spending money on memory sticks and there an internal memory comes into play. that would suck. but liek the other guy said, it will take a long time. china will get it first and then who knows when the americans will get it. what would be nice if there was (and there probably is but i have not seen one) a battery that hasa hard drive built in. now that would be cool =D.

i just bought a psp-2000, and i enjoy it a lot, but mainly for its functionality with the ps3. i find the psp is lacking in games and the single joystick is annoying withcertaingames. i had an original psp and the changes they made with the 2000 series arenoticeable and all positive, and make the system, as well they are about the same price as a ds. if you have a ps3 idrecommendthe psp, if you dont have a ps3 get a ds, i have way more fun with the games, and there are a lot more of them. if the music/video/browser options are that important, get an ipod. my iphone 3g made my life a lot easier.

I would buy it now, because I dont think these rumors are true. And If they were it would come out maybe in 2010 or 2011.

There's never been any kind of confirmation that there's going to be a 3000 model. Just buy the 2000 and if they do come out with a 3000, at least the "rumored" one, you're not really missing anything.

Just get a slim, that way you can get the latest games, you're better off getting it now than waiting for a new one which might not even come out quick. You'll be missing out on some of the latest games if you wait too.

would it be a good idea to buy a psp if you dont any other console?

I really want something portable that i can use when im out or in the bathroom but I have the money for a console but im thinking it would be a hassle. As for the DS that is a definite no. I really dont like their lineup and after nintendos show at E3 it failed to impress.

dude, people had been saying about a psp 2000 a long time ago like before the slim (or otherwise 2000) came out and they ment the 2000 to be like the psp 2 like a whole diffrent system, so think about it , sony released the ps2 slim and released the ps3 some 4 to 5 years later so you would be waiting a long ass time!

look this is a psp board not one to compare psp to ds, so either erase that or take to system wars, that wasnt his question,

whether the ds e3 sucked or not, i really dont care, get a psp 2000 you wont miss much and theres no confirmation on 3000 model , as far as ds is concerned dont listen to a word red mertaninja said its also a good handheld , actually the best selling one, and with gta coming who would be disappointed

I totally recommend you to buy that 2000 first, because you will miss a LOT of very very good games while waiting for the new model, and by the way, when the new model would come out, i would not buy it. Instead ill wait till some good games come on it and then ill see if i want it.

Anyways, have fun ;)

I recently brought the God of War psp bundle and really like it. Its a great handheld, some awesome games, downloaded pictures, put some of my favorite music in it, and connected it to my HDTV also. The graphics are awesome! I would enjoy it now and see what happens later.
