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]
