David Perry dares Sony to say he's wrong about UMD-less PSP2

David Perry calls out Sony as PSP 2 rumours fly - Image 1

Another fan-made image, everybody. (Source: Kotaku)

David Perry, founder of Shiny Entertainment and current thorn on Sony's side, is again asserting that the PSP2 is real, and that it won't have a UMD. The first time he did that, Sony's John Koller refused to comment on the matter. Feeling challenged, Perry called out Sony in his latest Twitter tweet, practically daring Koller to call him a liar:

John Koller is publically questioning my post about PSP 2. So I confirmed with Top PSP 2 developers. John, state that PSP 2 WILL have UMD.

One of these days I would actually want to write a post about the games this man makes rather than what he says. But anyway. If Perry is bluffing, then he belongs in a poker table. Rather bold of him to make such remarks, unless he really does have direct confirmation that the next PSP model won't have a UMD drive.

Koller, or even any faceless Sony rep, is yet to comment.

We do need better integrated WiFi rang and speed, it would take a long time to DL a 1.8gb plus game via the psp with it's slow azz wifi regardless of being able to DLing it with a PC and transfering it over. We would also need significantly more internal memory for this to work via WiFi.

On a side note I believe that if the new PSP2 is released with anything slower than the current speeds of the 1.6Ghtz ATOM processors it will be a total waste and not worth buying. These processors are small enough and power efficient enough to do the job. Back to the topic, I too rather have a product in my had say a UMD or a Blu-MD/BMD than just a DL.

yup we need both DLC and discs for these handhelds and I like to have the actual copy in hands :)

# OK — KritzKrieg 2009-03-03 09:11

Wow, what does David Perry have to lose by 1.) Making random assumptions based on nameless "PSP2 devs," and 2.) Daring Koller to call his bluff? Oh yeah, I remember. Not an effing thing.

# You're right — Guest 2009-03-03 09:22

He already lost his dignity a long time ago.

# wat if — JDawson 2009-03-03 11:02

But what if sony just released something like the psp 3000 which i was disappointed on cause they did not do much. As long as it has a touch screen for games apps and PSPPOD i will be happy.

# ... — ChrisGoldammer 2009-03-03 12:31

I vote for two memory stick-like slots, allowing games to be sold on flash cards and be played in one slot with your own personal memory stick in the other slot for saves and DLC.

Sony has the technology to put games on memory sticks (transfer speeds are quite good) but cost may pose a problem.

Just an idea.

# i kno 2 ms slots — danielakadanny 2009-03-03 13:15

tht is a good thing 2 have because u can expand ur memory if its 2 small and then devs won't have as much restricted space.also tht looks like a sick PSP2 all it needs is the analog sticks on the bottom and a slising screen w/ a qwerty board

# omg — PaganiC12 2009-03-03 13:34

PSP2 should be came out with some cool features in order to attract buyers.

not just changing button or design =]

# wow — Dremth 2009-03-03 14:12

that concept looks so deliciously awesome. however i dont like the analogs up above. the screen looks MASSIVE

# wow — IIVIIOJICA 2009-03-03 14:17

i like this picture more than the other one. the other one looked sexy but hared to play. this looks less sexy but still looks sexy and easear to play it should have lots of ram, flash, umdless, sliding screen. and faster internet. ill buy it.

# @isaac — KylBlz 2009-03-03 15:20

LOL your right.. i dont think his comments are worth much value

# the specs of psp2 — genesiscopy 2009-03-03 15:26

should be an equivalent of the nvidia's ion platform with both BMD (backwards compatible) and revised MS slot (for new and old ms) and a WiMax adaptor (faster wifi ftb)

# yeah wtf — KylBlz 2009-03-03 15:26

this concept is awesome but the analog sticks are supposed to be BELOW the D pad/buttons [and maybe a bit more towards the center of the console] and the buttons on the bottom would include [PS, -, +, screen, note, select, start] but it would be cool if they put more somehow lol

# yeah — 1337-Scruffy 2009-03-03 16:00

im gunna agree with you on that one, i wouldnt buy it, too akward to hold

# Why so prideful? — Chrisp6825 2009-03-03 16:36

Why does Perry even care so much?

He's making himself look like more of a *****.

# Think about this... — Stealth! 2009-03-03 16:53

I'm not saying the next PSP2 won't have UMD-less feature but Sony has been known to deny things that has come out before they get a chance to reveal it.

Dualshock 3 news! July 07 PS3 60GB price cut! And others.

Fact is though, Sony denies things when it releases out in the public. I'm pretty sure They also denied the release of the Home Beta as well at some point. All companies and devs do this. Rockstar also Denied GTA4 PS3 trophies. So Perry could be right, or wrong. But Sony has denied things before to state it's true later on. PS3 price cut in 4 months could happen as well. ;)

# All I have to say... — TranceKuja 2009-03-03 20:50

Whatever they might add to a PSP2, NO touchscreen!

# DLC will not succeed — PSPZorZ 2009-03-04 14:41

What many people fail to realize is roughly 45% of the video game market is people living in rural areas where high-speed internet is UNAVAILABLE or EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. Now what does this all mean exactly? It means there's no way ANY company will release a totally-DLC console and completely alienate 45% of potential customers.

# psp2 with cell processor — jmak0 2009-03-05 01:46

and ability to copy your old ps2 and ps1 and psp games onto its massive internal hard drive would be good. plus full speed internet (no rubbish 8011b speed) and also ability to hook up to any tv and sixaxis/dual shock 3 then i'll consider it.
