If the words coming out of Sony are true, the PSP could be heading for a little memory makeover. PSPs with a built-in hard drive? Possibly.
Now Sony has unveiled a movie service to zap films straight from the PlayStation 3 to PSP it looks as if more storage will be needed on the handheld.
Asked if Sony were thinking of adding a hard drive, Jack Tretton, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, said:
“I think we definitely thought about it,” he said. “I think that’s the trend moving forward.
“I think the UMD has struggled, and that’s an understatement. That’s been a very frustrating thing. I don’t think (UMD movies) were handled very effectively.”
He also acknowledged the download service could be the death of the UMD in the not too distant future, saying it could be the “stake in the UMD’s heart.”
