According to some analysts, Sony is going to be refreshing its PSP line in order to revive its flagging portable gaming console. So far various rumors say one of these models will have 8GB of built-in flash, while the other will have a hard drive. There weren’t any details on how large the hard drive would be, but we’re guessing something on the order of iPod size, or else there’s not much added value there.

The rumors also say that the flash memory version will be a bit cheaper than the hard drive version, and possibly cheaper than the current price now. It’s more of a slight bump than a PSP2, but Sony needs all the help it can get right now in fighting the Nintendo DS.
