Sony has been seriously considering the addition of hard drives to new PSPs. This idea has been going around for a fairly long time in the Sony managemnent. A quote from Jack Tretton, President and CEO of Sony Somputer Entertainment America pretty much confirms this.

"I think we definitely thought about it [Adding harddrives to PSPs], I think that's the trend moving forward."

Will this pose problems for homebrew? Will this give Sony any sort of sales boost? We'll just have to wait and see.
