Grapevine: Sony Is Conducting A Survey Regarding New PSP Features

Here it is from the rumor mill, folks: Word has it that Sony is overseeing a survey asking gamers’ opinions regarding future PSP hardware and potential software functionalities that may appear on future systems.
Someone apparently in the know sent word over that participants in the Sony-conducted survey had to rank some features that are currently not available on the PSP. Some purported stuff on the list: Built-in GPS, Bluetooth wireless, internal data storage, and…a touchscreen!
Here’s a more detailed list of possible PSP stuff that appears in the survey:
- Was smaller, yet retained most of the current PSP’s screen size
- Offered social networking functionality on the XMB
- Included a keyboard for easer internet browsing and communication
- Offered Bluetooth wireless support for easy pairing with other devices
- Had a touch screen
- Had an imprved screen for more dynamic graphic displays
- Offered the ability to find others near you who want to connect for online gaming
- Offered an e-comic/book download service through the PlayStation Network
- Included a hard drive for memory storage
For now, this is still, like we said, fodder from the rumor mill. Keep your eyes glued to this website, though, and we’ll keep you up-to-date with more concrete news as it drops.
