If only Xbox announced a HandHeld. I garauntee that it would storm the handheld market and be on top instantly, dominating the Handheld Market AND the Console market.

... and after a month, everyone would be stranded, their Xbox handheld overheated and blown.

Lol funny. I have to say I haven't once had red rings of death and this is a second hand xbox, plus I've owned it over 2 years and god knows how long theprevious owner had it. Even if it's starting to p*ss about a bit now and then, I still reckon they would be a hit.
And bout this concept of gaming with eye movements (search XBOX 720 google images you'll see what I mean) it doesn't sound all that fun.

EDIT: Infact it seems that Elites have been acting up the most in comparison. Then again I heard you send off an xbox with RROD and they send back someone elses if it will take a while to fix, you'll never know what bugs re with this one. -.- Microsoft if only you payed as much attention to your XBOX community and made xbox with care, not quantity in mind :

Although cool looking, I really think its a waste of money and resources for Sony to redesign the same old thing and try and sell it to people again. There are already too many different types of PSP out there, and whenever a new one is released the media attention lessens every time. When I open a newspaper this week every single one is filled with DSi adverts and its fair share of articles promoting it. When the last PSP revision came out I dont remember seeing anything about it, no fanfare whatsoever. Undoubtedly the sliding screen will be eye catching and shift a few units if it does come out, but would they sell enough to make the development costs back? And is it worth confusing the public even more with yet another pointless revision? I doubt it really.

No it maybe that it's not worthy of buying to current PSP owners but I never owned one in my life and I'm interested. It's worth it to me.
If you think this is a wasted revision of PSP take a look at DSi, even worse.

I like how 80% of the replies in this topic are all based on the fan art, rather than the actual article and the word "RUMOR" in the topic title.

Chances are it is just a rumour, and I doubt anything big will be unveiled at E3.

Ahh it's a rumour by one of the most respectable sources, I think this can be trusted and I based it off the fan art because it was used on every single forum with this PSP 4k thread on, and since they said this wasn't far from the official design I'm guessing it's like this.
Just hope it's not flimsy and uncomfortable.

Dont get me wrong, I think the DSi is the most pointless thing ever, but any DS revision is pretty much guaranteed to fly off the shelves at the moment. Even if it doesnt Nintendo are making crazy profits right now so its worth them taking the time, expense and risk at bringing out a pointless redesign. Sony however are loosing money everyday, in their gaming divisions and pretty much all others too. Instead of spending resources and time bringing out a slidey screen PSP 4000, they are better off just investing that cash on securing new IP's and developers for the system. That way they can interest the people, like myself, who are waiting for a reason to buy a PSP but dont, for the simple fact that there arent enough good quality games out for it to justify the purchase.

No source is trustworthy when it comes to rumours.

No fan art is ever close to official design, either.

Guessing is what causes rumours like this to escalate, so don't even bother. Just wait until something is actually announced before giving it merit to be discussed.
