A trip to the mill got me another bag full o’ rumor. Eurogamer is once again reporting on the new PSP model, giving new details on the rumored sliding screen, which sounds more like the famous fan-made design than most would believe.
According to Eurogamer’s source, the PSP-4000’s screen is “basically the same as the one in the 3000 – except it slides.” Uh-huh. Yeah. Get to the good stuff.
When closed, the screen won’t cover the entire face of the console, but the PSP will be “significantly smaller in width,” and controls will be inaccessible save for the shoulder buttons. Some games will, in effect, still function, like LocoRoco (and, uh… can you guys think of anything else?). The unit will also have media playback in this state.
Lastly, it seems Sony is also approaching developer for ideas for games that only require the shoulder buttons. If ever this PSP-4000 rumor is true, I can guess what its nickname will be. The PSP Screen. Or the PSP shoulder buttons.
Rumoramarificationism:
- Rumor: PSP-4000 incoming with new sexiness, sliding screen
- Rumor: PSP-4000 coming in late 2009, PSP 2 to follow “later”
- Rumor: PSP2 won’t have UMD drive, says David Perry; PSP 2 is real, says Perry
- Koller responds to UMD-less PSP 2 rumor: partially true, the rest is ‘no comment’
- Sony blasts touchscreen PSP 2 rumors: nothing but poppycock
