(2 votes, average: 2.50 out of 5) Loading ...According to Acclaim developer David Perry, the new PSP – the PlayStation Portable 2 – will not include a UMD disc drive.
In recent statements made by the developer, it’s unclear whether or not Perry is just reiterating rumors he heard himself, or if he’s commenting on genuine information that he received from the inside. Says David Perry on his Twitter and Facebook accounts, “I hear Sony FINALLY has the PSP 2. And thank goodness, they’ve removed the stupid battery-sucking UMD disc drive. I’m excited!”
In the case that the PSP 2 doesn’t utilize a UMD disc drive, then chances are the…

Sony just had another brilliant idea: A Hannah Montana version of the PSP is set to drop on our heads as part of a $199 awesome marketing package geared toward that particularly screaming and energetic demographic of almost-teenage girls. The PSP Lilac will come with Miley Cyrus’s Hannah Montana PSP game, a UMD with some Hannah Montana episodes, a 2 gigabyte memstick, and even some gnarly stickers.
For a different slice of the demographic pie, Sony also announced plans to release an Assassin’s Creed Entertainment Pack. More details on that particular drop are to arrive a little later this year, according…
Official PSP Firmware v5.05 Released

(22 votes, average: 4.36 out of 5) Loading ...
For those of you keeping it mainstream, above-ground, and for real, here’s what’s up: Sony just released an update to the official PSP firmware, so now the count’s at v5.05. Chances are, though, you won’t run into it at all, because the update is exclusively contained on the UMD of the Japanese game Idolmaster SP.
It’s not the first time that Sony has done something like this; for instance, v3.96 was packaged with Hot Shots Golf 2, right on the UMD.
We’re not even really sure what’s different in this update – it’s likely just a minor fix that addresses compatibility issues…

Sad news for PlayStation lovers in San Francisco: The PlayStation store in the Metreon will be closing up shop this summer. The store first opened in 1999 and was the epicenter of PlayStation launches on the west coast. Other Sony Style stores certainly will remain open across the country, but none are so central to the PlayStation brand. Here’s what Sony’s got to say about this tragic development:
“Our lease with the Metreon for the PlayStation Store will expire this summer and we have chosen not to renew it. While we are always looking at new avenues for additional retail exposure…

The popular PS2 fighting game, Fate/Unlimited Codes, is scheduled for release on the PSP under the title Fate/Unlimited Codes Portable. For now, the release is slated only for Japan – no word has leaked yet about its arrival in other global territories.
Its developer, Capcom, is a classic purveyor of fighting games, so it certainly has the experience to churn out cutting-edge titles in that particularly aggressive and heart-racing genre. It’s the mastermind behind precedent-setting fighting games such as Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom, and is also the force behind platform classics such as Mega Man.
The new version of Fate/Unlimited…
