David Perry challenges Sony to come out and say that the PSP 2 will have UMD photo

As we're Twitter whores here at Destructoid HQ, we quickly noticed David Perry's (Earthworm Jim, Shiny) tweet about the PSP 2 and how it wouldn't have a UMD drive slot.

After that made headlines, Sony's John Koller took a shot back, saying that he "didn't even know who the guy was until a month ago." What's of note is that Koller did not deny that the PSP 2 would lack the UMD drive. 

Now Perry is back at his tweeting device of choice, and is now calling out Sony. 

John Koller is publicly questioning my post about PSP 2... So I confirmed with top PSP 2 developers. John, state that PSP 2 will have UMD.

Sounds like a challenge, doesn't it. I bet Koller will blow it off, saying something like 'I don't even know what Twitter is?'

Eurogamer is hearing the same things we are: that the PSP 2 could be announced at E3. If the system is truly that far along, then someone has to have seen it. My guess? Dave Perry knows what he's talking about.

Pretty sure Koller will talk about how he's never even heard of the PSP or Sony for that matter. Or maybe ask what exactly is this so-called "internet".

how hard could it be to take out the umd drive and put in a HD? or even have both?

take out the card reader and put in a HD. and just use USB/wifi to connect the psp2 to a pc and transfer games.

Watch in a surprise move by Sony as they reveal the PSP3, so awesome that it time-traveled from the future to beat out the PSP2!!!

Why is David Perry going crazy about this? Is there a reason, why he should even care about something like a PSP2?

UMD is noisy and slow, but I don't know of a better option unless it goes all download.

UMD or not, I'm still skeptical about the PSP 2.

UMD or not, I'll probably get a PSP 2.

This is a giant slap in the face to those of us who have an extensive UMD game library. I hope Sony is smart enough to provide a device to transfer old UMD games to the new PSP.

I have one thing to say about the idea of a second analog nub thing: Meh. I could care less about the idea myself. I just want to be able to play my old PSP games (none of which even use the first analog nub thingy). If I can't play Disgaea 2 on whatever new PSP design Sony tries to push off on us I'll be passing. If I can, I'll be getting one shortly after release (especially if they finally make it so it closes to protect that fragile piece of shit screen like Nintendo has done since the GBA:SP).

Yeah, why is Perry even bothering with this pointless nonsense? Go make games.

I would absolutely hate the PSP 2 if it turned out to be nothing but downloads. This had better have some kind of hard-software.
