Surprise, surprise. An FCC listing has confirmed that Sony is indeed working on the eternally-rumored PSP-3000. There are no details yet, as Sony has made a request for confidentiality regarding the particulars of the unit. That being said, we can’t say with complete confidence that this confirms the authenticity of the previously leaked photos.

Now for the obvious question, when will they get around to announcing it? That’s anyone’s guess at this point. Could be months from now, but at least we know it’s coming. At any rate, let’s hope Sony decides to include a hard drive this time around.
