GC: Sony considers hard disk for PSP
Published Friday, Aug 24 2007, 15:49 BST | By David Gibbon
Sony Europe head David Reeves is still considering the possibility of launching a hard disk for its Portable PlayStation.
Speaking to GamesIndustry at the Leipzig Games Convention, Reeves said: "I think that it certainly is not ruled out.
"The only thing I would say is that the flash memory is simply so cheap - you can get an 8GB Memory Stick for under 100 Euros, and on 8GB you can get a lot of content."
"I think the big debate is - there's a point in time when you have to put a stake in the ground and say we're going to go with flash memory or we're going to go with hard drive. I don't think they've put that stake in the ground just yet," he added.
"So they're thinking about it - I think they'll get through Christmas and think about what the next step would be. You might hear more later."
