PSP hardware refresh coming this year, says report

So it looks like those endless rumors of a newly-spec'ed PlayStation Portable are finally about to come true, with an analyst from Lazard Capital Markets reporting that Sony has in fact copped to just such a device (most definitively NOT pictured above) at its Gamer's Day gathering in San Diego. According to Lazard's Colin Sebastian in a briefing regarding April game sales, "the company also indicated that [in addition to new software titles best left to another fine publication], a video download service and [PSP] hardware refresh are expected later this year." While both tidbits sound like potentially big news, Sony was reluctant to give up any more info on either of these asides -- meaning that you can still let your imagination run wild with magical features before the inevitable letdown. Still, if you've got your credit card in hand and sonystyle.com open in another tab as we speak, it might pay to hold off for a bit and see how this plays out.

I hope they decide to move the analog stick up higher, maybe above the D Pad. Dont get me wrong, I love my PSP... I just find it kinda hard on the hand playing games like SOCOM that uses only the Analog stick for movement. Its so low on the face of the console that you have to bend your thumb the whole time. Sure, you may say its ok, but after a while... its get annoying

I had a PSP (lined up on launch day) and had the exact same problem. I think most people are calling for dual sticks as well. I may buy a PSP again depending on the redesign and price
