Playstation Portable Getting GPS Add-On Early In 2009, Location-Based Games Says Exec

Early in 2009 Sony’s Playstation Portable (PSP) will be getting a GPS add-on according to PSP senior marketing manager John Koller, not quite the August release date we heard about back in May.  While this is an interesting development in and of itself, the real potential for innovation here comes with the possibility of all kinds of interesting location-based games and interactive features.  Sony is already working on ways of integrating GPS technology into PSP games and when asked if we may see a location-based game for the PSP next year, Koller had this to say: “Yeah, we’ll probably lead the way on that.”  Can we expect a first-person shooter?  Oh, that joke was in such poor taste.
