Sony’s upcoming PSone emulator pics?

Far be it for us at QJ to put up any fake news, but when sifting through the daily sand dune of emails, a nice gem gleamed in the rough. We have received these (very convincing in my opinion) images of the upcoming PSone emulator for the PSP, created by none other than Sony themselves (as Ken detailed himself). The emulator will allow users to download games onto their PSP’s memory stick and run them via the “Game” menu on the PSP (which sounds just like what we do already.)

For example, (according to the images,) Gran Turismo 2 will support both ad-hoc (2 players) and infrastructure modes (2-6 players.) The cost on the (I will again iterate convincing) image will be at $15, which although pricey, is much cheaper than current PSP UMD games, and brings us the youthful joy at a reasonable price. But you don’t have to take my word for it, I’ll let you read the news tip as well and decide for yourself, because we can never be too sure:

“My friend who is a designer at sony gave me these pics, he said that this is what the psone emulator for psp will look like. he said that the games will be downloaded by a program shown in the screenshots and will be played under “game”. I think this is true because he showed them to me from his camera which doesn’t show ANY edited images.“

Thanks for the newstip Al!

Edit: Ok, $15 is expensive, but it’s better to pay $15 for a game with probably no loading times and better playability than most of today’s UMDs. (Although $5 would definitely be much more reasonable, and to their benefit in sales of antiquated games.)
