big rumor

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

If you thought a hint that PSP2 may make an appearance at E3 was exciting, get a load of this s_it.

Baby steps.

* MCV rumoured last week that Sony “could” announce PSP2 at E3.
* VG247 goes digging. According to a source familiar with the matter, it’s “99 percent” it isn’t an E3 reveal.
* But there’s much, much more.
* Multiple British sources have confirmed that PSP2 NDAs have been in place at publishers and developers for many months.
* PSP2 has two cameras, one forward and one backward facing.
* It has a touch-screen, but apparently it has retained the trademark physical PlayStation buttons.
* UK sources were previously working towards a “2010″ release. This is now “2011″.
* One source would be “amazed” if there was any kind of physical media involved. We’ve been told it “could” be 3G-enabled, as opposed to the WiFi-only PSP go. This bit was sketchy.
* Multiple PSP2 games are being made in Britain right now. Some have even already been canned.
* There have been “finished units” in the UK, but we haven’t spoken to anyone that’s seen a final case.
* When asked directly about reveal timing, one source said, “If the games were aiming for end 2010, beginning 2011, and now it’s a 2011 release, I’d say a gamescom or TGS announce for launch early next year”.
* One source told us the machine is “f_cking powerful,” being based on a four-core Cell CPU. PS3 runs on an eight-core version.

Crapped yourself yet? Good. Remember, “99 percent” certainty leaves “1 percent” of uncertainty. Don’t take your eyes of Jack’s hands in Sony’s E3 press conference on June 1

now this :
One source told us the machine is “****ing powerful,” being based on a four-core Cell CPU. PS3 runs on an eight-core version.

if it's a sub of the

"spursengine"

that would be very powerful in a handheld and 1st party ps3 game's could be ported to such a handheld without too much effort.


With E3 a couple of weeks away, the rumors will intensify. Pretty excited if most of the stuff ends up being true.

Wow- that would be awesome- but I bet the price will be over the top too.

I am already saving up for it lols!!! I might be picking up another Go and trade in two of my old PSP units for it. I just love my GO!!!

w0w thanks for th info, hope this rumor is a fact because if it is, I will be psp2 owner soon....

im hoping this is real and they do reveal this at E3, (i still havent paid of my PSPGo lol)

Even if they were to announce it at E3, it will take at least a year to come out.

Lots of time to save up.

Well that is to be expected though.

I figure it will be $300 for the wifi and $350 for the 3G.

I also pre ordered the 3DS. It's going to be awesome!!

LEt me know what you think of the 3Ds- I'm trying to figure out if I want that or the XL version. I get sick pretty easily when it comes to 3d
