With online retail sites being the new method dejour for leaking new hardware – especially on the Sony side of things – (see: PS3 Slim), the fact that a new model PSP is being listed on a Japanese retail web portal has garnered some interest. More prevalent, however, is that both the new model PSP (termed PSP-4000) and the E3-winning Nintendo 3DS are listed as becoming available at the end of this year, in Japan at least. As expected, the official comment from Sony when asked by Elder-Geek is that the company does not speak on rumors, but with TGS around the corner and a lot left uncovered in the Playstation brand at E3, there exists a strong possibility that the PSP has a bit more to give than just a new ad campaign.
