There seem to be some lines getting crossed out there in game news reporting land about the redesign of Sony's PSP. Sony isn't "denying" the PSP remodel at all. They are merely saying they haven't "announced" anything and that the reports fall under "rumors/speculation" territory. Just because Sony has a blog now and journalists don't have to call Sony spokesman Dave Karraker every five seconds -- which we're sure he's thrilled about -- it doesn't mean reading comprehension should be turned off while checking Sony's blog. Just because it's written doesn't mean it isn't exactly the same thing we'd listen to by calling and hearing, "We don't comment on rumor and speculation."

Maybe it was because Sony labeled the post "MythBusters," which imparts the idea of a declarative and final statement on the matter. The simple fact of the matter is the actual statement is the same spin we get every time a company isn't ready to "announce" something. The Sony post could also be translated as saying, "We still have hardware on the shelves that we'd love to sell."

The guys over at PSPFanboy have a Sony tech video that just adds a little bit more fuel to the possibility of a PSP redesign. Look, it's great that Sony finally got on the blogging bandwagon and is releasing information that way, but they're obviously still learning. It's hard for a company to play loose like a blog without becoming dodgy or outright lying when an issue like this arises. Is a PSP redesign in the works? Could be yes, could be no. Was that statement in any way a denial of a PSP redesign despite its "MythBuster" headline? That's a definite no.
