Thanks to forum member diehard for pointing out to us that Datel is currently working on a very hot new product for the PSP. According to the latest rumors floating on the internet, the famous UK based company is about to release a 4GB HDD for the PSP by the end of this month. Lik Sang asked Datel and received official confirmation that the product is on the way, but release date and exact price point remain undisclosed.
The 4GB HDD will be bundled with the X2 Battery into a neat 2-in-1 add-on that you would plug in the battery slot at the back of the PSP. Technically speaking, just plugging the battery module into the battery slot will probably not be enough, normally there has to be a flat cable or another connection to the PSP's Memory Stick slot. The only picture available unfortunately also doesn't reveal if the hard drive is actually part of the battery, or, as we first thought, if the 4GB hard drive could be replaced with a larger one.
We will keep you informed as soon as we receive more details and a final release date from Datel. Preorders are taken right now for US$ 249.99 and you will be asked for re-confirmation when the final SRP is made available to us. The current price is only the best bet available at our bookmaker right now, it could go up or hopefully down.
