PSP2 this year? No way!!!

Here’s the thing: gaming site Kotaku was blacklisted for a while by Sony for spilling the proverbial magic beans on the new PlayStation 3 (PS3) service, PlayStation Home. After all hoopla subsided, it turned out that the Kotaku rumor was correct and Sony re-invited them back to the previously scheduled meetings and interviews.

Now, how would you feel if we throw in a PSP2 rumor courtesy of the above-mentioned site? We know a lot of hushed talks have been surrounding this topic for some time now and Sony just watered down these speculations at the Game Developers Conference (GDC). But hey, it’s Kotaku – the one who got blacklisted for being correct.

With all that said, the gaming site is now reporting that various “third party and highly placed sources” confirmed that there is indeed a PSP2 currently in the works, and it’s possible that it will be out during the fourth quarter of 2007. The sources added that the big announcement will happen at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and the new features to be presented are the following:

• The screen is gorgeous
• The loads are faster
• Improved buttons
• Internal flash of 8GB
• Possible touch-screen
• Possible built-in camera
• Uses UMD

What do you think, guys? Can it be possible that there’s some truth to this like last time?
