PSP Go to get disc capabilities?

A print advert has apparently let slip Sony's intentions to releases a brand-new PSP – The PSP-4000.

The print-based advert, found in industry magazine MCV, shows off a LittleBigPlanet starter pack, and announces that it will be available for the PSP-1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and the PSP Go.

While this could be a printing error, it does look like another PSP (the 4000 version) is on the way, most likely one which uses a UMD drive.

Disc assessment

As the PSPGo is a disc-less device, it has meant that there is no real reason for current PSP users to upgrade – as upgrading would mean that they wouldn't be able to use the games they have bought.

There's no doubt downloading games is the future, but it may have been one step too far for some consumers, so a PSP Go with UMD capabilities does make a lot of sense.

However, as we have seen the PSP go through a number of upgrades and iterations, will another version be a version too far?

1. Good old sony as per usual trying to lock content to an individual.

You do not own any PS3 or PSP Go downloaded software, you are not permitted to sell, lend or even give it away for free. When you sell your PS3 or PSP Go you are forced by Sony in the EULA to wipe the hard drives or you could face criminal prosecution! you are free to do as we say.

But what else would we expec from the lead member of the RIAA & MPAA?

RIAA, CRIA, SOUNDEXCHANGE, BPI, PRS, IFPI, ASCAP, Ect:

# Sony BMG

# Warner Music Group

# Universal Music Group

# EMI

MPAA, MPA, FACT, AFACT, Ect:

# Sony Pictures

# Warner Bros. (Time Warner)

# Universal Studios (NBC Universal)

# The Walt Disney Company

# 20th Century Fox (News Corporation)

# Paramount Pictures Viacom—(DreamWorks owners since February 2006)

And these companies are all owned by these few, these are the companies that dictate our culture by promoting theirs & blocking indie artists:

# BMG (sony)

# Time Warner

# Viacom

# News Corp (Fox)

# General Electric
