PSP-4000 to Have Sliding Screen?

Excited about the new PSP? Well too bad, we're going to talk about it anyway. The fairly popular Sony handheld device has undergone some helpful but rather basic upgrades since the original model made its debut, but sources claim that the upcoming PSP-4000 will undergo a large redesign. And no, the new edition will not carry a PSP 2 title, or so the sources claim.



According to gaming blog VG247, the PSP-4000 will see a "complete aesthetic overhaul" for the handheld, based on existing PSP tech. Details are still on the shy side, but what they do know is that the revamped PSP will include a sliding front screen, and is said to closely resemble the fan-made image shown here, which has been making its way around the Internet. The PSP-4000 had a rumored release date for sometime in 2009, and according to VG247's source, that schedule remains accurate.

Think the sliding front screen looks cool? What other features would you like to see on a new PSP model? Post your ideas and comments below.
