We posted a news over the weekend about an FCC report that indicates that the upcoming PSP Go has a potential to max out its internal processor at 480MHz compared to the existing models that can only clock at 333MHz. Well it doesn't.

You know all those complaints about the proprietary UMD format for the PSP? They don't really matter now because Sony wasn't planning on having it as a PSP game format for very long. In fact, the plan was to release a PSP that had no UMD drive all along. That's what Sony is saying anyway. Up to you whether you believe it or not, but one thing's clear: Sony is putting all its weight behind digital distribution. I just hope it doesn't become the standard before I get a better internet connection. All this and more in the PSP Weekend Warrior.

Some documents from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are suggesting that the new PSP Go may be packing more power under its sliding exterior than what Sony has officially revealed. Details after the jump.

Did you think that the rumored PSP-3000 model was pure, unadulterated bunk? Well, think again. Apparently, the good folks at Sony have already sent a new PSP model to the FCC for testing. Still skeptical? Details at the full article.

In a recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) site post, it was revealed that there has been a notice from Sony that they intend to tweak the PSP's specifications. What changes are in store? Does Sony have intentions of being specific about this? Tell us your take on it when you're done reading the full article.

 

Straight from 0okm, creator of homebrew enablers, took the PSP Slim and Lite (or PSP-2000) apart and discovered that the the new PlayStation Portable's board is spanking brand new - new enough to warrant a new PCB version. Folks, welcome TA-085.

Now the kicker here is that the new aesthetics, appearance, UMD drives, plus the video-out feature and firmware version 3.60 aren't the only things that would set your trusty PSP apart from its slimmer cousin. 0okm speculates that the NAND Flash and DRAM memory could both be embedded in the new CPU chip, identified as CXD29758GG. An FCC ID would have helped identify the chip's maker and specs, but none was provided as of yet.

Now it's no secret that 4 Mebibytes (mega binary bytes) of DRAM are also embedded in former PSP systems, such as TA-082s, but details as to how much memory and where it's embedded is difficult to determine. The Media Engine chip, specifications unknown as of press time, had the chip ID CXD5029 printed on its surface. More details to come as soon as they develop. Image courtesy of 0okm.
