PSP Rumors
Straight from the source...
- The PSP's GPS peripheral is currently on hold;
- The PSP PS1 emulator will be included in a firmware upgrade in October;
- The Playstation online store for the PSP and PS3 will launch before Nov. 13;
- A new PSP entertainment pack is coming next month. It will retail for $250 and will include a 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails, and the Lords of Dogtown UMD. No headphones will be included;
- Sony has plans to use the PS3-PSP connectivity similar to the Location Free Player in that you'll be able to see your PS3's screen on your PSP as long as they're both on the same network. However, this feature may not be ready in time for the PS3's launch but should be soon after;
- Sony plans for more than 200 new PSP titles between now and the end of the year; and
- The reason for the UMD flop can be blamed on Sony's "hands-off" approach concerning certain UMD stipulations, like pricing and extra content. Because of this, movie studios began releasing less than stellar movies with next to no special features. Sony isn't ready to give up on the UMD and plans to rectify this by instituting a $15 MSRP cap and all future UMDs must have the same features as their DVD equivalent.

To be fair, they have been fucking up a lot lately. Good luck to them though.

words, the letters that extend up or down should not be too far from the
original position. For example, "sflngnctiiiay" is harder to read than
"singifcintaly".
