This rumor is the latest in a series of rumors to hit the net in the past month or so, including one from IGN and another from VG247. https://kotaku.com/todays-rumor-post-decries-yesterdays-rumor-post-about-p-5140017 If it’s true that the Playstation Portable 2 won’t feature a UMD disc drive, than I’d say it’s likely it will instead rely on Memory Sticks and downloads through the Playstation Network Store. The bigger question is whether such a device could be backwards compatible, and if so how it would work. There has been an awful lot of news about the Yono all app PSP coming out lately, so I think it’s a safe bet to say all yono app that we can expect something from Sony about the next iteration of the Playstation Portable at E3. https://kotaku.com/sony-record-growth-and-momentum-for-playstation-in-09-5159459 Update: We’ve talked to David Perry to get a few more details on what he knows and how he knows it. https://kotaku.com/perry-psp-2-is-real-could-hit-this-fall-5160320
