PSP Weekend Warrior: Of the PSP-4000 and sibling rivalry brewing at KojiPro

The PSP Go, which Sony is apparently banking on to stop the rampant piracy on their handheld system, isn’t even here yet but talk about another PSP revision is starting up again. These rumors never really stop, do they? At least the week also saw a few more big-name updates: a pair of bundles for Gran Turismo, a tighter release window for Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, and what’s this? Sibling rivalry between the Rising and Peace Walker teams?
