An article featured on a Chinese gaming website details how a production company is working on a revised PSP. We've heard the rumors for a long time now, but Sony keeps on denying them. It would be great to see if Sony was simply bluffing... but alas, I don't read the language! So, if any of you Fanboys out there can translate this article, it would be great! Imagine having stars next to your name every time you comment. Wow!

Redesigned circuitry to reduce production costs...
Revised display...
No Harddisk because of cost...
Sounds like just an internal redesign in an effort to cut costs.

Have You guys tried the google translator engine? It kind of works though it leaves like 20 words out of it, but it does say something about the neww psp being more accessible and having an 8gb internal hd, and some modifications to the internal chips, i'm guessing to stop mod chips...

It seems like the author isn't discounting the possibility of some kind of expanded internal memory, it's just not going to be the micro 8GB HD originally designated for it:
"although in sets the 8GB micro hard disk is cancelled, but the brand-new overhead construction still could use, slightly had the replace besides the internals, the exterior memory good connection also could have along with it the modification, but could not affect plays the family existing use custom."
Meaning they might have more internal RAM and it won't change how games are played.
Actually, I don't know if anything in this article is really telling us anything about the rumored revised PSP that's supposed to be smaller, slot-loading, and so forth. They talk more about the pink PSP. It's also very possible what this piece is focusing on is a running internal change to the existing hardware (hence the standard old PSP casing shown): Making it more shockproof, going with a plastic LCD frame, etc.

If you read carefully, they're referring to the exact PSM issue that was posted in this article:
http://www.pspfanboy.com/2006/08/17/rumor-psp-redesign-coming-before-march-07/
Details are exactly the same as well.

I thought they were quoting the actual magazine - a bit more concrete than the scans, although I myself believed them. Also, I didn't think the article referenced the Samsung source of the 8GB flash RAM?
Either way, we all know you guys are the only valid Weblogs source for PSP news. :D

Uhmm... Anyone could go to a translating site and copy past the results. The article author wasn't asking for a babelfish, they wanted someone who actually could read the language to translate it.
