According to videogame blog Kotaku, Sony is planning to release a redesign of the PlayStation Portable, ala the DS Lite:

"Various third party and highly placed sources state that the PSP2 is coming. Speculation is swirling around the industry, and third party publishers are hoping to tie their games to the PSP2 launch. Thing is, Sony has yet to pass along any information about when that will be. Meaning we won't see big third party titles at launch."

The PSP2 may include the following features:

The loads are faster
Improved buttons
Internal flash — 8GB
Possible touch-screen
Possible built-in camera
Uses UMD
The predicted launch date is this year's E3.

And Please no "DS is better than PSP" or "PSP is better than DS"

Good thing I selled my PSP 1. No one would want to waste their money on that knowing this is coming. But really, its been only 3 years sense PSP 1 release. A little early, don't you think?

Early? The DS Lite came out not too long after the DS. They could release it whenever they want.

I dunno how much it would be...Maybe 200.00- 300 maybe i dunno

I heard a contradictory report from 1up and joystiq that said at GDC Sony said they have no plans to redesign the PSP. =o We'll see how it goes. Personally I hope it doesnt happen because I already paid 250 for my psp.

:D So PSP2, if it even will come, will have the same problem as PSP 1? No good games?

And wtf is up with the name PSP 2? Thats lame. Hope they change the name and be creative for once.

I'm sure it will have a better name.

Sony did what MS did with Xbox1 ((in Japan))) Threw it out there and just thought people would make games for it.

A few made games for it and they was great games. Just like with the PSP. So maybe Sony will do what MS did with the 360 and try. :p

MS and Sony are way to cocky for there own good, lol..

So far there will not be a PSP "2" well not necessarily.

But it is confirmed that in the long term a new redesigned PSP is on the way. Its not coming before the firmware updates at least. No reference to any major hardware changes were made. So any improvement made by Sony won't be major I assume except size.

^If it costs more then PSP 1 did at release, I deffinately don't see this doing very well.

EDIT: 400-500$?!?!?! Thats way to expensive for a handheld console.
