Back in March, Kotaku brought word of a new and improved PlayStation Portable. But what good are the rumblings of new hardware without some of the details? Today, thanks to several sources close to Sony, Kotaku bring you that nitty gritty as the redesigned Playstation Portable nears completion.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
battery life of this sexy new model, which can last as much as four times longer than the original PSP
and the 8 gig flash memory!
Looks like I'll have 2 psp's once this is released. (I just can't trade stuff in I like to have them all^^)
ps. please don't be mad about no word on second analog stick it REALLY isn't that big of an issue.
The spec is way too high, 8gb internal flash?? That alone doesnt sound like it will cost under $170 on top of the better screen and faster loading times as well.
If Sony can pull it off then kudos to them, I think lots of people will want to trade in their old PSP's for a latest one if the price in well UK is good enough.
But damn I just got one. Well I got the PSP with a 4 gb mem card and a game and a movie for 240 so I don't feel all that shafted. I will not trade in my current one for a new one I'll jus own 2. WOOOHOOOO.
Sony are getting desparate, its official, they need to give up or do something huge soon, Because my ps3 is starting to get very boring. Oh wait who plays psp????
PSP has been out for what about close to 3 years now, parts have come down in prices and I think they can pull of the 170-200 probably. Cant wait for E3.
