A new redesigned PSP may be on the way

It looks like we may see a redesigned PSP some time this year. A “highly-trusted” source at VG247 has indicated we’ll see a PSP 4000 by the end of the year. The PSP-4000 would in many ways be exceptionally similar to the PSP-3000, except it would have a sliding screen rather than one fixed in place. The new design would represent an aesthetic overhaul of the device, and would potentially bring new users to the device simply because of its sleek look. Sony has not commented on the possibility to a new PSP, so it could all be just rumor- these do look pretty sweet though don’t they? [via Electronista]
