1UP “confirms” the new PSP hardware
There has been a lot of rumors flying around for the past few months-- the biggest shocker was the removal of the PSP's UMD drive. Other rumors pertained to the name of the device as the PSP2 or PSP-4000. Well, it seems that 1UP's sources say that it will be not named that way, but will go by the moniker PSP Go!.
Their sources say the PSP Go! will come in a 8GB or 16GB models. It will feature a sliding screen, a single analog nub and will have 100 titles available to download at launch which could include Gran Turismo Mobile. It will apparently launch in September in Japan and October or November in the US . This of course makes us further believe Sony has given up on the UMD format for good.
Sony itself hasn't confirmed ANY rumor pertaining to the upcoming new PSP and I hope that 1UP's sources are legit. LAthough I doubt I will be upgrading any time soon; I'm still rocking the good 'ol PSP fat version. I also want to see what kind of copy protection they try to implement with the new psp...
