Hard to imagine, but it's been over two years since Sony unleashed the PSP (at least in Japan), so it stands to reason that we're due for a little upgrade, right? Well, it's difficult to tell precisely what's going on due to the machine translation, but Samsung introduced its new N-Series line of 1.8-inch hard drives today and there's some indication that a 60GB version of the drive may end up in a future PSP...
The Nerd Stash: "The rarest PSP games of all time are some of the most underrated titles with niche gameplay styles and huge fanbases."

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.
they will replace the UMD drive with a hard drive, but 60 gb is going to be too expensive to include. If they do remove the UMD drive, how will you play your old games?
I don't think this is going to happen, Sony is making too much money of memory sticks with their own and with royalties from 3rd party memory sticks manufacturers. The replacement of UMD is unlikely since Sony still wants to push UMD and by removing it from the PSP (probably the only device using it) UMD would simply disapear.
what was that ninty ... GBA 2 you say cool....
what was you talkin bout sony guy.... sorry got to go over there for a minute,,,...
cool
You still need some sort of mechanism for inserting physical media into the unit, though. A hard drive can never replace a removable media drive unless they plan to make the next PSP with downloadable content only, which would not be a good move.
i wonder if it will "sport" any half decent games this time...
