PSP-4000 Advert Was a “Mistake”
By John Kershaw on Monday, December 21st 2009
Over the weekend several sites began reporting on an advert that appeared in last Friday’s MCV on page 17. The advert, for Little Big Planet PSP accessories, listed the PSP-4000 as being compatible. The PSP-4000 doesn’t exist. We gave the company behind the adverts, Accessories 4 Technology [Editor's note - the name of the company has been corrected], a ring to find out what’s going on.
A4T’s licence manager Angela Jones told Negative Gamer, after looking up the advert online, that it was a “mistake on our part” and that she wasn’t sure what had happened. She added that Sony weren’t, as far as she knew, releasing a new console.
Not that these words will squash the rampant rumour fires of the next PSP. What with Pachter saying it’s likely, developers chatting about it at TGS and Engadget‘s reliable tipster. Sony, as with any big company, hasn’t admitted to a mistake and is instead telling any site that contacts them that they “don’t comment on rumour or speculation”.

There’s another mistake on that page. Its called the PSPGo.
Poor little digital only hand held. I might have bought you if not for my 19 UMDs which you so heinously scoff at.
deny deny deny.. that’s what Sony has been doing from this year. They denied both the existence of pspgo and ps3 slim and what do we have now?
“don’t comment on rumour or speculation†= Yes, it’s true
