Why PSP2 Is Coming Soon: Sony Discontinues PSP Development Kits

Previously, we reported that PSP2 was rumored to hit Holiday 2011.

Now, SCEE has sent notice to developers it will no longer be selling current PSP development kits past November 15.

According to a notice sent to a Spanish distributor, via PSPgweber, SCEE will “no longer be selling the PSP development tool (dtp-t2000a) or testing tool (dtp-h2500a)” and those that are in need of the kits should order them in advance before November 15 hits. Sony will then advise developers when “a new model becomes available.”

VG247 got the following response when they contacted Sony:

“Due to the certification on the current development and test tools expiring, we will be stopping selling them on November 15,” said the SCEE rep. “However, we will continue to provide loan stock for registered and new developers, until a new certified model is available.”

Bring on the PSP2.
