The next version of Sony's PSP will sport an integrated digital video camera that will allow users to stream live video to the PlayStation 3, according to an anonymous source. The feature, which will utilize the PSP's Wi-Fi support, will be marketed as the new way to chat with friends while on the go.

According to the tipster, the "PSP 2" will also gain the recently rumored NAND flash storage, though the first generation of the new model will only be available with 4GB instead of the 8GB currently speculated. Sony will also trim approximately a quarter of inch from the device, and offer it in three color choices †� black, white and silver.

Sources claim that the tiny camera will be an off-the-shelf stock unit that is currently being used in several Sony Ericsson mobile phones, and will also allow users to take still photos, in addition to video. Its placement will be directly below the PSP's screen, where the "PSP" logo can currently be found.

The new PSP's video streaming capabilities will be considered a must-have addition for Sony's upcoming PS3 console. While details are scant at this point, sources say the streaming will be made possible through the upcoming HUB PlayStation service, which will launch alongside the PS3 and compete directly with Microsoft's Xbox Live service.

We'll provide more details as they become available.

will not happen any time soon. id see sony providing a 4gb memory stick way before that came out.

Doesnt matter if i rip it or just load it. I just want to be able to watch UMD Movies that are for 2.0 ( or higher ). And the Demo Disk is devided into 3 caterogies, Movie, Music and Game, and i can only start the Game.

Ya, but if the new psp is gonna be able to stream videos into the ps3, than wouldnt than mean less memory on ur system. because your holding videos on ur system. and the ps3 would u be able to stream them wirelessly. but the graphics ar suppouse to be superb on the ps3
