Following the news that a PSP accessories advertisement mentioned the PSP-4000, Negative "Destructoid is idiotic" Gamer followed up with Accessories 4 Gamers, the creators of the advert. A4G has stated that the PSP-4000 listing was a "mistake."
License manager Angela Jones said very little else, simply stating that she did not know what had happened or why the ad says PSP-4000. She neither confirmed nor denied further rumors of Sony working on a new PSP SKU, so the rumors are still very much in the up in the air.
Sony itself, naturally, wouldn't confirm anything when we asked the platform holder prior to the weekend. Whether this ad was a mistake or not though, I would be very surprised if we don't see any official mention of a PSP-4000 in 2010. It's the kind of ridiculous thing Sony would do, especially with the PSPgo being as rubbish as it is.

what i meant to say was: Good ol' Sony. And with all the leaks they've had recently, I wouldn't be surprised if it's true.
Damn you Sterliiing! *shakes fist and fades out... probably falling off a cliff or something*
They said "a Website" not "a writer." I didn't want to be egotistical and claim sole credit.
You know?
Journalism?
Thanks. Also, Das Auto.
He was in Awesome Show, huh? I never had the interest to watch that... until now.
Where the fuck did I insult them for following up on a rumor? I didn't insult NG at all.
There's no way you of all people don't get how fanatical the hardcore Destructoid community is.
You're talking shite and everyone knows it.
Eh, I'm just done with it.
When you can exhibit the self-discipline to stop reading something you quite clearly dislike, I might take something you say seriously, k?
Glad you hold yourself to the same journalistic standards as random trolls in the article comments. Which, I guess if we're honest, is all you've really ever been.
"I didn't want to be egotistical and claim sole credit."
I assure you, if someone said "Destructoid" and "idiotic" in the same sentence, they were directly or indirectly referring to you.
Destructoid is still a good source of news. You write for Destructoid. Typically, I just avoid your stuff. But occasionally, luck rolls against me and you happen to be the one to write the story on a legitimately interesting piece of news. Like this. Or the Pachter "music games have too much value" story. I'm not going to deprive myself of the story because of you, and I'd rather not switch to a lesser news site just because I (like many others) don't like your inflammatory writing style.
Hopefully that answers that.
Secondly, it would be nice to hear a rumor about the next generation psp already instead of all these rumors of old hardware rehashed. Make it happen sony, stop pushing the GO and move on.
you're a class act, jimmy. real pro.
Not sure why everyone's surprised he's harping on the PSPgo. Didn't anyone read his writeup of the first like, 4 hours he spent trying to get the system to work after he bought one?
Fuck.
You guys need to chill, I'm looking at you 'whatisdelicious'. You guys need to stop taking things so personally, "L4WL its the intern3ts"
Fuck that fatso. Destructoid is cooler without him.
Total lack of self-restraint.
Don't let the door touch your naughty parts on the way out.
I've just taken to skipping any article with his name on it, and patronizing other gaming blogs for the majority of my news.
The Rev Rants and C-blogs are the best content on D-toid.
And we're not doing the same? Minus the being fat and British bits.
Except for this article right?
In other news, Sony has already announced a new PSP model other than the go that would contain the UMD drive, though it's official title has yet to be released. No time for links, but it was announced around the time everyone was freaking out thinking that UMDs were getting phased out by the Go.
I said that "I have taken to skipping", not that I always skip his articles.
Much as I dislike that whatisdelicious is snapping back with a customary response that in this case is unwarranted, you can go fuck yourself over the defense of your writing that "nobody has to read it." That's no fucking excuse for anything and like I said a few weeks ago, don't even try to justify yourself by that means.
Before you think to reply in defense of your previous statement, remember "you didn't have to read my comment given the fact that you knew what to expect at the beginning."
Or maybe it'll be a PSP XL with a screen the size of a laptop.
@pakx
"Digital distribution is good, right?"
Have you ever browsed the PSN catalog? The prices are pretty ridiculous when you can buy used UMDs for cheaper. That and a fair number of games are still missing from the catalog.
