SCEE president David Reeves can deny what he likes, but that's not stopping the game publishers from talking to the press about the future of the PSP, including the PSP-4000 and PSP2. -

Solved: PSP 3000 Scan Lines Are 100% Hardware Based
Nobody knew if it was the software or the hardware. Why was the PSP 3000, Sony's supposed best to date with an incredible screen, suffering from interlaced images? Logic Sunrise put both displays under a 40X microscope and saw the problem immediately. Can you tell the difference? Take a mental guess and then check if you're smarter than a Sony engineer: More » -

Sony PSP 3000 Review
Sony's recent PSP-3000 upgrade had one major feature change among its other small updates: the brighter, increased contrast and wider color gamut screen (above: old top, new bottom). The more vivid display takes more power overall, but the rest of the PSP's components are now using less power, giving battery life a net change of zero, which is good. But the interlacing issues which results in visible jagged lines and scan lines on motion? Well, it's there, but it's not that bad. Here's what you should know before you buy a PSP 3000. More » -

PSP-3000 Screen Suffering From Terrible Interlacing and Jaggies
Sure, the PSP-3000 has new, brighter-than-the-sun screen that gets rid of a lot of the older PSP's ghosting, but that kind of blazing glory apparently comes at a cost: PSP owners are reporting at the official PlayStation forums that it suffers from horrible interlacing defects during video playback and gaming, with terribly visible jagged edges and scanlines on anything that's moving. Joystiq notes that turning off the Wide Color Space option seems to help while we wait for Sony to get its "investigating" hat on. Any of you guys notice this? Update: Hokay, it's apparently a feature. Riiiiiiiiiiiight. [PlayStation Forums via Joystiq via Crunchgear] -

PSP2 Concept Rolls Out Like a Scroll, Thankfully Requires No Literacy
While Sony is just releasing the PSP-3000, the design just isn't impractical enough for our tastes. So we'll look the gift horse in the mouth and turn our attentions to this completely imaged PSP2 concept. A flexible OLED screen pulls out from the base, flexible until stiffened through an electric charge (a la Batman's cape). Stereo speakers are fit in each side of the scroll, and while the control design appears completely unweidly, hey, at least this design features dual analog sticks. [Yanko Design via DVICE] -

Sony Makes PSP-3000 Official
We knew the PSP-3000 was on the way, but now Sony has made it official. We don't have a full spec sheet yet, but the big two updates are going to be a new, brighter screen ("highest-level contrast ratio, response time, and wider color gamut possible on a portable LCD screen" Sony claims) and an integrated microphone (making those impromptu Skype chats a whole lot more practical). No word on US release yet, but the PSP-3000 will be available in Europe on October 15th for €199. Hopefully we'll have a better picture for you soon, but it looks a lot like the existing PSPs. UPDATE: It's coming to the US on Oct 14, and it will hit with a new pack, click through for the update: [Kotaku]

FCC Confirms PSP Redesign Number 3001 With Few Visible Improvements
The FCC has come through again, giving up testing info on Sony's upcoming PSP-3001 redesign. It's still the same generation PSP and still has most of the same parts (802.11b Wi-Fi) and still plays the same games, so we're guessing most of the changes will be internal and focused on lowering costs and making the thing harder to hack. Why do we think that? Because that's exactly what Jack Tretton of SCEA said in the roundtable at E3, that Sony's working on securing the platform from piracy. We'll just have to wait and see whether it's worth upgrading to this version if you've already got a PSP. [FCC]

More PSP 3000 Spy Shots
A tipster mailed in these additional PSP spy shots to go along with the ones we saw yesterday. Assuming this is real, it shows a black PSP with the new PlayStation button, the mic hole, and a thinner outer ring. There's also the headphone jack with the TV out port which features more arrows than before. Color us amazed. If anything, this says that everyone, from Sony themselves to people who have nothing better to do than to make fakes and seed them to news sites online, aren't really expecting much out of the next iteration of the PSP.
