For PSP fans, 2008 turned out to be a real drag. While we were treated early on with some fantastic exclusives (God of War: Chains of Olympus and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core come to mind), the remainder of the year turned out to be almost completely devoid of original titles that took advantage of what Sony’s handheld could do. However, 2009 is already shaping up quite nicely, with newly invigorated support, including upcoming entries to the Assassin’s Creed, LittleBigPlanet, and MotorStorm franchises down the pipeline.

One of the biggest rumors currently floating around about the system is a hardware revision set for this year. Various news outlets have claimed that insider sources close to Sony have revealed that a new PSP (possibly a PSP-4000 series model) would have a sliding screen, dual analog nubs, and most intriguingly, no UMD slot (the system would rely on downloads).

Bring on digital downloads!  I think it is time for someone to finally step up and eliminate the UMD.  It was a great idea at first but after a while you just knew your battery was being toasted each time the game was loading from a UMD.  And don't even get me started on the loading times.  I say give us a revised PSP but make sure all of the old games are immediately available for download on the Playstation network.  If you only put a handfull of games out for download you're going to segment the market which will upset plenty of gamers.
