Dave Perry challenges Sony to confirm UMD in PSP 2

Wow, son, this s**t just got real. Wait wait, let us get you up to speed with a fictionalized one act play.

Dave Perry, Acclaim COO: The PSP 2 totally isn't going to have a UMD drive.
Sony spokesperson John Koller: Huh? Wha? PSP 2?
Dave Perry, game industry veteran: Exactly.

Now, DP has gone one step further to extend the beef. He just dispatched a Twitter message (or, as they say on the streets, a "tweet") saying, "John Koller is publically questioning my post about PSP 2. So I confirmed with Top PSP 2 developers. John, state that PSP 2 WILL have UMD." Oh snap!

Dave, how about you stop sweating the contents of the PSP 2 and make us another Wild 9 for it? Please?

"For environmental impact alone, I favor it."

What about the environmental impact of all the extra servers needed to host the games online for download? : )

If possible, I'm in favor of physical media in flash memory form, how about read-only memory sticks?

what's wrong with UMDs? That guy is making a big case about something small like UMDs

I'll wait for Sony to announce something and not a guy who knows a guy who saw a Sony employee in a Walmart parking lot.

Sony needs to take drastic action with the PSP if it ever hopes to catch Nintendo. Dumping the UMD and adding a 2nd analog stick would be significant steps.

"publically?" wtf does that mean? public ally? public alley? pubic alley?

This guy is just being an attention whore. Doesn't he realize that this is going to hurt psp sales right now? Because every gullible fool who believes everything they read on the internet is going to hold off buying a psp until the psp2 comes out. If psp sales do poorly enough, there won't even be a psp2. And even when sony announces something, it's usually at least a year before we actually get ahold of it. Right now when the psp has arguably its best lineup of upcoming games ever, Dave Pussy is doing his best to kill sales as much as he possibly can.
