Rumor Buzz II: More Possible 3.00 Pictures Leaked!

Katjana from Official PSP Community has released a bunch of new firmware 3.00 pictures yesterday. I should say these pictures look much more legit to me than the old ones. As the PS3 is coming, it is possible for the PSP to get a total facelift to be style-consistent with the PS3. So… Can we say that the PS3 interface will look similar to this one…?

We can see from the pictures that the possible new firmware will come with several applications like “Sony Mail“, “SonyPaint“, “Alarmclock“, “Sony Organiser” and “Writepad“. A music store function is integrated into the “WWW” menu. Under the “Game” menu, a “PS3” hard disk menu item was added (we can see that a USB cable was connected at the time… Guessing, does the PSP need to communicate with the PS3 via USB interface? Maybe there will be a “PS3” icon under the “Video“, “Music” and “Photo” menu too?). The “Memory Stick” icon under the “Game” menu was replaced with a strange icon at the bottom. Could it be the same old “Memory Stick” icon, or is it something new? Maybe Sony has finally decided to exterminate the way to run things from Memory Stick? Also, the thing still missing is the GPS support. Maybe Sony hasn’t been able to make up its mind to add it to the PSP?

We cross our fingers on these pictures… and of course, the coming firmware update too.

Thanks very much for the news heads-up, Dylan! =D
