Rumor: PSP 3000 Design Sample

Another PSP redesign? Already?

That appears to be a possibility, as a poster from the PSP China forums had posted several images of a “design sample” for a new PSP. New features are said to include a PlayStation-branded “Home” button, a reduced metal ring, and a microphone.

Says the poster: “The pictures are actually of a design sample; whenever a new system is to be created, designers will follow Sony’s instructions in creating several different versions. This is one of the versions that was created and then discarded. Next year when we buy this PSP, it will be slightly different, but I believe the microphone and smaller metal ring will remain.”

When asked, Sony of course delivered a “No comment.”
