PSP To Get GPS

Looks like Sony is at it yet again, adding more functionality to it’s PSP line of portable gaming units. The GPS reciever for the PSP is about to leave it’s Japanese stomping ground and make it’s way over to North America. Sony has posted on it’s CES 2008 page that “Your PSP will provide 2D/3D locations, driving directions, POI’s, and even downloadable city guides.”

With the hacking community being a buzz of homebrew activity to add more functionality to the already fledging portable system, maybe Sony has woken up and smelt the coffee with regards to the units potential.

Pricing and shipping dates haven’t been released yet, but in Japan you can pick this bad boy up for about $50.
