More PSP 3000 Spy Shots
Posted by Jason Chen at 9:40 AM on July 24, 2008
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. Colour 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.

you know, if someone could get close enough to this to take a picture, but not have enough time to take a decent shot, but can take 3, wouldn't it be better to STEAL IT?!

You know... these "improvements" are just sucky enough to make me think this isn't fake.

So...these are THOSE spy shots. The ones that show the PSP3000 trading in the UMD slot for a 160GB 1.5" hard drive, addition of an analog stick and loss of half its thickness?
Oh, wait. My bad.

@92BuickLeSabre: Of course he's a bad spy. Michael J Fox got no Elvis in 'im.

I love how on the PSP, there's those crafty little buttons that adjust the amplitude of the sound produced by the machine. It's really useful, because when you want it to be louder, you press the "+" and when you want it quieter, you press the "-". Dazzlingly genius, much better than the DS's analogue slider adjuster, which is just a feeble immitation, obviously.
I'd go as far as to say that the volume adjustment is actually my favourite feature of the PSP.
That and the thing where you twist it and it shoots the UMDs at people you don't like, or whomever is sat in front of you on the bus.

Yes, the pic is blurry because it's FAKE! SO you don't se that those butons are hand painted and the mic hole, hand drilled!

@Denver80203: Agreed, or someone sent their toddler in to do the sleuthing.

Seems to me less like "spy" pics and more like "leaked teasers"

All I can say to Sony is, if they don't put some awesome features into the PSP soon, the iPhone/Touch will kill the PSP. Your move Sony...

Why don't they just make a picture of Bigfoot playing one. Jeez, try a little harder next time. Brush up on your Photoshop skills and try it without the fake motion blur.

@Mr.SithNinja:
So, did you say the same thing when the 2000 leaked out and they made only small changes? -

Why does it always look like these people are in the middle of being chased by security when they snap these pics.
Stand still will ya.

I don't know... I may have my skeptic hat on today but these pics don't look right to me. You would think that there would be gigger changes that just gluing on a PS button and drawing a few more arrows..... The whole thing just seems fake.

I think you are OK... Now, if you had made a joke about MJF being a cameraman for Cloverfield while it was in the theater still, that might have been too soon.

Well, if this one isn't fake, then the other ones are.....or they both are. The PS button is a different size than the previous "spy shots".

Today's Lesson:
Debunking 'Spy Shots'
If the proposed 'spy shot' is blury, it is intentional and the product is a fake. Digital cameras can delete and pictures can be retaken until in-focus.
If the shot does not show the entire product and show only an angle reserved for auto magazines, the product is a fake. It could actually be three different fakes where one side of each is completely missing or broken during construction of said fake. We are not interested in just the front fender and wheel. We want the entire car.
If the shot is taken in what seems someone's basement or workbench, its a fake. People work on things on workbench's They work on making fakes.

@newtype2011: Actualy no. I wasn't expecting much of a change other than size on that one. You would think that with a SECOND re-design in less than 2 years you would expect something a little more drastic is all. Maybe something use full like a second thumbstick....

I've seen the middle pic on ps3fanboy I believe. It's a wider shot vs this cropped and the background has a ps3 dev kit.

Will not buy unless there is a screen change so it doesn't ghost horribly.

I'll buy it when they use a nicer screen that doesn't ghost like crazy.
