If you think you love your current PSP, think again. Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Capcom are teaming up to to release 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.

In addition, the system’s speaker holes have been made to look like Felyne footprints. How cool is that!

The battery cover sticks out a little further than the standard PSP does but in fact it might give you a better grip of your Playstation Portable?

The Monster Hunter Portable 3rd limited edition PSP will ship in Japan this December 1st 2010 at a retail price of 19,800 yen. The set is not included with MHP3, but a Monster Hunter Portable 3rd original custom theme is included in the PSP.
