PSP-4000 announced; IT PLAYS PS2 GAMES?!

[cosmo2389]

Maybe they'll just add a plug in for the ps2 controller and add lots of bulk

Yeah! That's what they'll do!
Seriously though, a modder unofficially did that as seen in the pic!

For those extra buttons (Not R3 and L3), they could set it up Wii Classic controller style(2 shoulder buttons in a room on the top) and keep the thinness. I love those buttons on the Classic Controller, they don't look comfortable, but damn they're easy to hit! This is not related to the 4000, this is just an idea on how they could manage it when they evetually do make a psp (2) that can play ps2 games.

Fake. Topic closed.

For the people scrolling through the replies:
This is fake, not real, made-up, etc. There is no PSP-4000. Yet.

Someone's idea of a practical joke, looks like. Someone definitely put effort into this though.

So they didnt even get the PSP3000 right and they announce 4000 already??? This is just stupid. Instead of putting money into making good NEW games for it, they say fuck it and release ANOTHER revision that'll let you play old ass games??? Why Sony???

I remember back before the PSP was released and people were speculating that the PSP would just end up getting ports and ports of PS2 games. Sony swore that it wasn't going to be the case and now thats EXACTLY what has happened!! Seriously, how can Sony fanboys still be fanboys after all the lies and broken promises?!!? I'm selling my old PSP Phat TODAY!!!

EDIT: Fake topic?? Oh lol, well guess I won't be selling my PSP then............just yet

Writing an official looking press release and posting in on a forum isn't exactly hard work.

After clicking this link, I can't believe I actually took this entire news story seriously. x_x It now seems so obvious it had to be fake, the story wasn't well thought out either. No announcement of extra buttons and another analog stick = NO PS2 EMULATION. God damn.

Now to cleanse my mind with some old-fashioned midget porn.

Maybe there needs to be a higher standard for posting news threads in this forum?

Personally, I don't think a post in another forum constitutes news. IGN, Gamespot, 1Up -- these are all reputable sites. If they post something about it, then it sure seems newsworthy. But this shite?

No, but this is a side-effect of our attempts to be on the bleeding edge of news as-it-happens. We will have many topics over identical things, some things will be presented as false, and so on. Do remember that none of us here are actually professional reporters so go easy on us. =P

True, but it's rather easy to check sources. There's a difference between being professional (getting paid!) and being complete.

Also some of the lesser known sites are good for news as well. TIGSource.com has a good reputation (I swear I'm not biased!) for example.

It would be awesome.
But the psp has already too much port games. >_<

Okay, time to play Disgaea PS2 on my PSP.........

Well since this has been proven false I'm going to go ahead and close this then.
