I'm crossposting this from my own blog; A Gamer's Mind. (<- Original post)

I'm no gossip.

I don't like saying things if I can't back them up. However, something caught my eye today when I bought Patapon 2. Yes, Sony's trial "PSN-only retail game" which has already caused quite a bit of speculation that Sony's testing the waters for a possible digital distribution only handheld is even moreso backed by what the actual download ticket says on the back of it. Upon turning the ticket over and reading what's on the back, I came across this:


"Memory stick required for PSP 1000 - 3000 series. (610MB required)"

But why would it specifically say "1000-3000 series?" The only PSPs that are out are the 1000, 2000, and 3000, right? For now, at least...

You can't really confirm anything for this, obviously. As far as we know, this might have been something to tell DBZ fans that their PSP is not a PSP-9001 series for all I care. (Rim-shot) But really, I don't really see the need to specifically state which PSP models require a memory card if all current models of the system require one, which could mean one thing...

...Sony's E3 this year might be a bit interesting on the handheld front if this keeps up. How much longer do you think they'll keep denying this?
