The Sony PSP2, Sony’s successor to its handheld multimedia console, almost certainly won’t feature a disc drive for retail games. Dave Perry, respected videogames industry veteran and Chief Creative Officer at Acclaim, had already said the PSP2 wouldn’t feature a UMD disc drive. But Sony has, until now, denied this. Now it has edged closer than ever before to admitting the “stupid battery-sucking” drive (as Perry put it) is out.
The Sony PSP2 is on the way, and due to launch possibly by autumn 2009, according to Dave Perry, founder of Shiny Entertainment and current Chief Creative Officer at Acclaim. And it won’t have a “stupid battery-sucking UMD disc drive”.
