Rumors of a new PSP model have been floating around for a few months now, but you can finally place them in the "Confirmed" column, as the folks at Gizmodo have uncovered the FCC filing for the "PSP-3001."

The documents show that the redesign is largely focused on the internal components, meaning that Sony is probably trying to reduce the cost and make the system more resilient to hacking instead of improving the aesthetics. If you're a homebrewer, you might want to wait to see how hackable the new system will be before you switch over.

Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. announced today the North American release of Secret Agent Clank for the PSP. The time around, Clank's gameplay will be more like Ratchet's. In past titles, playing him was more about solving puzzles; now, he is a full on action character with weapons and gadgets of his own.

"Ratchet and Clank has proven to be a witty, well produced franchise with a long lasting legacy of action packed gameplay, out-of-this world weapons, and family friendly humor," said Jeff Reese, director, software marketing, SCEA. "Developer High Impact Games bolsters that legacy with Secret Agent Clank, again bringing innovation to the platform while poking fun at the spy movies we all know and love."

The title is rated "E" for Everyone by the ESRB.

As reported by Gamesindustry, Sony initially marketed the PSP towards a 28-40 year-old demographic, but they soon discovered that it was a hit among youth. Calling the handheld a "gateway drug," SCEA senior marketing manager John Koller believes that younger people who started gaming on a PSP will naturally become PS3 gamers.

"It's become, from a gaming perspective, a lot different than I think we even envisioned it when we first launched it," he said at a Wedbush Morgan Securities conference. "That's a very good thing. It's expansionary. For us, the PSP is a very high growth, high margin business and something that is a very good product for us."
