The2ndQuest posted:PSP2 rumored According to Brian Ashcroft of Kotaku.com Sony is planning to release a redesigned PSP, and possibly planning to unveil the device at this year's E3. Though Sony has repeatedly claimed that no redesigns are in the works, various third parties have apparently told Kotaku that they are pressing Sony for a release window so they can tie the launch of their upcoming PSP games to the release of the upgraded handheld. Rumored improvements include a new screen (possibly a touch screen), faster load times, improved buttons, 8 Gigabytes of flash memory, and a built in camera. Ashcroft expects a 4th quarter release.

renchi.com posted:The new PSP will be 33 percent lighter, 19 percent slimmer, battery will be more efficient and games will also load faster. It will also be able to output movies, games, photos and other PSP applications to a TV screen by pressing the display button. (Whether or not output cable is included has not been confirmed.) The new model will initially come in 3 different colors - announced today for North America are Piano Black, Ice Silver and a special Star Wars design: a white PSP with an image of Darth Vader's face at the back. The new PSP version 2 will be due in North America at around October. But there are 3 extra PSP colors that will be available in the Japan market, the so called "Blume Series".
