Considering E3 is fast approaching, I decided to clarify up some of rumours that have sparked up during the last few weeks.

Rumours of there being a new 120 GB playstation3 slim have come to light- along with some pictures of the console and some convincing pictures of the box. It is meant to be priced the same as the original surprisingly! Although the console itself looks fake (mainly because it looks UGLY), after a request to have it removed- it may be that this is actually a real concept of the PS3 slim (work in progress?). Production of the console however seems very unlikely.

The PS3 price cut rumour is being tossed up (AGAIN!). Not much new info on this, but it is said that it may be announced at E3, but doesn't seem promising. However it's very likely that it will happen before May 31st 2010. A price will really help PS3 get back into the lead.

According to many reliable websites, PSP will be redesigned and will ditch the UMD drive. This apparently will be the big announcement in E3 Sony press conference! According to 1up the new PSP will NOT have 2 analogue sticks, despite all the convincing concept pictures, however it will have a sliding screen. There have been many speculations of what the new PSP will be called, such as PSP 2, PSP 4000, PSP Slide, PSP Flip and PSP Go!

In addition to this, it is said that the new PSP will come in 2 models- 8GB and 16GB of inbuilt flash memory. The system is set for release in Japan this September with a U.S. debut coming in either late October or early November, with over 100 clas'sic and new PSP titles available for download at launch (Gran Thurismo Mobile being one of the premier titles). This will explain the fact why games such as Assassin Creed and Gran Thurismo mobile on the PSP has been kept in the dark and will also explain why half the games for the PSP hasn't even been announced yet!
