Xbox 360 horsepower also rumoured.
The PSP2 will have no UMD drive and will feature processing power roughly equivalent to an Xbox 360, according to sources close to Sony.
Kotaku has reported that trusted sources confirmed that the PSP successor will ditch the UMD format and follow the PSPgo’s digital-only delivery model. Sony is apparently still deciding on whether the content will be stored on internal memory or on a USB or SD device.
Sources also told the site that Sony’s new handheld will boast 1GB of RAM nearly twice that of the Xbox 360.

HD, 3D remastering of first three Sly Cooper games arrives in under two weeks on PlayStation 3 with Move support.
Back at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June, Sony announced it was readying a PlayStation 3 collection of all three PlayStation 2 Sly Cooper games: Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, Sly 2: Band of Thieves, and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. Today, the game giant gave that collection a release date: November 9, less than two weeks away.
Besides having remastered HD graphics, The Sly Collection will boast 3D visuals–provided the player has a television that supports 3D. It will also support Sony’s PlayStation Move motion-sensing system, which hit the US market on September 17. In addition, the collection will have full trophy support, with remastering duties of the Sucker Punch-developed originals being handled by Sanzaru Games.
In 2002, the first Sly Cooper game saw the raccoon protagonist embark on a search for the “Thievius Raccoonus,” a tome containing a host of tricks and skills from his family’s years of wholesale burglary. The stealth-action platforming series continued with Band of Thieves (2004), which saw Sly try to stop the reassembly of an evil mechanical foe. The trilogy wrapped with Honor Among Thieves (2005), which had the masked protagonist travel to a remote island to recover still more secrets of the thieving trade.

Build a perfect woman in Pigsy’s Perfect 10.
The first batch of DLC for Enslaved: Odyssey to the West will see you take control of porky side character Pigsy as he embarks on a mission to build the perfect woman out of scrap metal, publisher Namco Bandai has confirmed.
Pigsy’s Perfect 10 takes place in Titan’s Graveyard, with gameplay focussing more on stealth and sharp shooting than the acrobatics and fisticuffs of the main campaign.
Pigsy will have a sniper rifle and hookshot at his disposal, along with a mechanical sidekick called truffles.
