It's clearly fake, putting a UMD slot on it would effectively kill the PSP

Actually that's not that unexpected, did PS1 back-compatability on the PS2 kill the PS1? No and if anything it would do even less to harm the PSP as the PSP will always have the advantage of being portable which the PS1 didn't have when the switch to PS2 was made.

But yes it's clearly a fake for all the reasons listed in the attached article. TBH I wouldn't be surprised if Sony decide to have a UMD slot on the PS3 as they've stressed backcompatability in their consoles from day 1 of the PS2.

I am too tired to go looking for the source now, but as far as I know this is a fake indeed. All these unexpectedly appearing pictures surely can't be part of Sony's mighty marketing engine. :)

If I find out that the PS3 has a UMD slot on it then screw the PSP, on saying that however its probably more than a year and a half away

Even if the PS3 did have a UMD slot, I'd still want the PSP. What could possibly be better than playing online against real life opponents during my boring-ass classes??

Imagine killing Wipeout Pure on the PSP, and then on your journeys carrying on the game, or playing Gran Turismo and souping up your new Dodge Viper and then gathering everyone in the park and killing everyone on Special Stage Route 11 with your newly acquired engine parts. Would be heavy. If Sony did stick the UMD port on the PS3 it would open a ton of possibilities.

Was actually speaking to someone who was developing a game for the PS3 at a house gathering some time ago. In his words he said the PS3 had "8 cells" instead of the 6 reported. Whether it's true or not I don't know.
