Rumor: The ‘Real’ Skinny On the ‘PSP Slim’
After Kotaku ran a story a couple days ago about exclusive details concerning the much rumored 'PSP Slim,' Rumor reporter has their own set of information to share and claims that their sources are more reliable. All of these stories are purely speculation so you will have to make of it what you wish. Here's some of what Rumor Reports had to say:
Recent rumblings have started to fuel the hot topic regarding the next version of Sony’s PSP. A few days ago, Kotaku exclusively reported some details on a ‘PSP Slim’, which can be seen here:

Now, it’s been a few days after the report, and we still don’t have enough to confirm anything as fact. So… for the past weekend, I’ve been hesistant to post the following story until now.
Several sources have come to my attention regarding Kotaku’s original article last week. And in fact, plenty of their details about this ‘PSP Slim’ contradict the information that Kotaku has led thousands of its readers to believe already. My undisclosed sources tell me that Kotaku’s report is mainly factually inaccurate.
With that being said, these rumblings are based on my trustworthy sources, all of which have links to the actual details themselves:
- New slimmer PSP is indeed in the works. Hardware is essentially the same, and will NOT have any big speed increases.
- There’s no longer a UMD Tray, but a slot loader instead. Design is supposed to have an even “cleaner” look, much like the DS Lite.
- The screen is the exact same size, and is sidekick-esque. This means that there’s some sort of a flip-factor, making the overall system even smaller.
- The screen is still LCD, not LED. Either way, battery-life will obviously be improved.
- Sony is considering bluetooth capabilities.
