Sony PSP2 New Gadget to Replace Sony PSP-GO

Sony PSP2 is the new gadget that will hit us in  Q4 2011.  Below is the excerpt from the redmondpie reporter on this subject.

Sony PSP2 To Be As Powerful As PlayStation 3, Will Launch in Q4 2011?

It appears as if Sony is not going to let the Nintendo 3DS steal the show. Sony is expected to release the PSP2 within Q4 this year, possibly as early as October, and the first announcement is expected to be made January 27th.

It seems as this is going to be a high-end portable console. Sony has allegedly been telling licensees the device “is as powerful as the PlayStation 3”. The PSP successor will include a HD screen with twin-sick controls, and it may even incorporate phone functions, however this won’t be the primary use of the device. As this is what the PlayStation Phone or the Xperia Play will do. Sony is expected to release more information at GDC and E3, after the January 27th event. MCV reports there will be plenty downloadable content, smaller games and apps will be available via PSN. MCV also reports the PlayStation phone will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and it will only be capable of running smaller games.

Retailer Lists New Gran Turismo 5 Date

Delayed racer may just make it out by Christmas.

Posted Oct 30, 2010 

For those hoping to get Gran Turismo 5 as a Christmas or New Years present, online retailer DMM.com has some potentially good news today. The retailer's listing for the game now shows a December 23 release date.

The listing has the game priced at ¥7,980. The first print run will include a 308 page booklet and a download product code for five cars.

While a December 23 date may seem a bit late for the release of a major game, it's actually common practice in Japan. As an example, Final Fantasy XIII was released on December 17 of last year.

The DMM.com date isn't an official announcement from Sony, and may very well be an error. We'll have to wait for word from Sony to be sure.

If you're saying to yourself "But I thought GT5 was coming out on November 3," you should check the headlines from a few weeks back when the game was delayed for undisclosed reasons.

Sony Playstation or PSP Phone : What we Know so far?

 

While Sony has maintained its official stance towards the leaked PlayStation Phone by declining to either confirm or refute the claims that the PlayStation Phone does exist, by refusing to comment on “rumors and speculations,” a senior Sony executive has dropped some hints, and boy are they going to set your imagination racing towards some happy speculations? Barely a day after Sony announced a $50 price drop in the PSPGo, Engadget is reporting that a new, smartphone version of the PlayStation Portable is on its way.

According to the site, the device is already in the prototyping stage, and features some hefty hardware under its glossy frame. The PlayStation Phone will reportedly include a 1-GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 CPU, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and run the Android 3.0 (Gingerbread) OS. Based on the photos Engadget posted, the PlayStation Phone will have a sliding design, like the PSPGo, and use a long multitouch trackpad instead of the PSP’s analog disc. Curiously, while the supposed prototype has a Sony Ericsson logo, it doesn’t seem to have any PlayStation branding. Interestingly, while it will reportedly support microSD cards, Engadget said the PlayStation Phone won’t use Memory Sticks like previous PSP models.

However Engadget has been a very good reputation in the world of tech news, and the authenticity of the news as well as about the source – the source of all this are people who know about a near prjek technology in a particular company, so maybe just a picture of this Sony PlayStation Phone is totally real. Considering the original PlayStation Portable has only a 333MHz CPU and 32MB of memory, the PlayStation Phone’s specs would certainly quality as a “pretty powerful machine” by comparison. Of course, last May, CVG reported that the PSP2 would have a quad-core processor in the form of a scaled-down version of the PlayStation 3’s engine. Until Sony confirms these rumors, all we have is speculation.

Still from the news that we have quoted from the site Engadget, Engadget believes that this is one of the prototypes, and one of them there in the photos posted by Engadget in his story about this rumor. Its source also reported that the codename of this device is “Zeus,”.

In a recent interview on CNN, Sony’s senior vice president of marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment of America Peter Dille seems to have said a few things and proponents of such a device will be happy to learn that they are optimistic. Dille stated that the main reason behind PSP’s failure is the lack of an always on connection. He said, “The PSP is a Wi-Fi device. People are used to having always-connected devices.” Explaining Sony’s vision of the PlayStation Network to be an always accessible entertainment centerpiece, he added, “I don’t think we fully realize that vision with a Wi-Fi device. If it’s not connected then it does sort of limit people.”

The Android-based gaming phone is still a prototype according to the report, so it’s unlikely to arrive before the holidays; we’d bet on a Q1 or Q2 2011 release.
