As some of you have noticed in E3 a while back, PSP was sporting a camera that you plug into the top of it so you can take pictures. Well that fantasy became a reality and the reality is even better than you could imagine. The camera will also record videos. Now our favorite fantasy will be released in Japan for ¥5000! (about 45- 50 bucks). Pictures can be taken at PSP screen size (480×272) or at 640×480 resolutions. Videos will be taken at only 480×272 and will have 30 frames a second for only 15 seconds.

     But besides all that, the camera will come with software and a carry case for your psp. With this software you will be able to add borders, effects, decorations, background music, and captions to your photos and videos among other things, and all on your PSP. And to top it off. We will be able to share pictures and videos via Ad-hoc mode on our psp\’s.
