At the Tokyo developer conference yesterday, which was meant to discuss the PlayStation 3, Sony Cumputer President Ken Kutargi revealed some new hardware and info on the PSP.
Kutargi has confirmed rumors of support for Macromedia Flash games for PSP’s web-browser, as well as RSS feeds, and GPS functionality for the PSP. Another feature revealed was the support for video voice over IP, which would be available from October, via a web-cam (EyeToy?) peripheral. The most interesting announcement was the “E-Distribution” announcement, which will allow users to download original PlayStation One games to their PSP to be played. No information was given about how these PlayStation games will be played with only one analog stick.
The final announcement was the PSP price cut. Kutargi has said that the PSP will be cut from $249 to $199, minus the 32 MB memory stick, soft case, remote control, and headphones.
