• Monster Hunter 3rd JPN Limited Bundle brings even more hardware changes....

    Just when you thought it was safe to buy a PSP.....


    Sony Computer Entertainment Japan isn't done with the PlayStation Portable. In fact, it's releasing an updated version of the PSP alongside Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, introducing a new analog stick.

    The special edition Monster Hunter styled PSP will feature an analog stick that's slightly modified to make those epically long loot-gathering sessions more comfortable for Japanese thumbs. The black and gold Monster Hunter PSP also features the good old extended battery pack, for making those extended Monster Hunter Portable 3rd games last even longer.

    That means a battery cover that sticks out a little further than the standard PSP does, which Sony might argue makes for a more comfortable grip.

    The Monster Hunter Portable 3rd limited edition PSP will ship in Japan on December 1 and cost 19800 yen.

    Oh look, someone has made a depression in the nub and bundled in a PSP 1000 battery....WOAH WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Nice decals though.

      wonder if sony will ever make analog sticks for the psp.. like the one for the ps2 and 3 .. but the one for the psp u would be able to attach/detach it... that would be alot nicer than that small analog thumb..

      That is amazing! They should do it with more upcoming games and i hope they realize the potential of a right analog stick.

      There is no right analogue stick, it's just a mod of the standard one.

      This PSP looks pimped, but is it just the 3k one, or is it a completely new PSP?

      I'd buy it if I could mod it, but since I can't it's just waste of money... :\
