VG247 is reporting that the image above is the first ‘official PSP2 shot’, albeit one pre-empted with ‘rumour’.
We’re thinking that it looks lovely, but could potentially be a fake, despite the ‘shopper’s best attempts to make it look like it’s from a catalog. Those analog thumb pads look a lot sharper than the d-pad and face buttons, for example, and the big stylus looks like it’s going to struggle to fit in.
The image originally appeared on 2ch, and although it’s entirely possible that the PSP2 will look like this – especially as the recent Sony Ericsson phones share much of the same aesthetics, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens at the upcoming PlayStation Meeting.
What do you think?

I vote fake. It looks way to like the PS Phone is supposed to look like. I think someone’s been busy with photoshop.

A touch screen that needs a tab-pen?

Anything coming from a chan imageboard is to be treated as fake until proven real. Even a japanese chan.

whats with the stylus? are they going down the nintendo ds route?

Looks fake, and I doubt the stylus is that big (if the pic is done to scale)

It has to be fake. The positioning of the two nubs would make it impossible to hold and play at the same time. Ergonomic nightmare design.

Looking good, hopefully the final is close to it

I don’t like it. Dont like that when it slides out its a different colour. Also it just doesn’t look as slick as when I saw the first psp when it came out and it just looked like a plastation product. Theres also no visible branding when its closed. I can also imagine Sony having 3D on their hand held as they have been pushing it the hardest but then dont know how it could be touchscreen as well. Just over a day to wait now :D.

Sony wouldn’t really ship a PSP2 with a stylus… would they!?
