In an informative interview with the official PlayStation website, SCEE COO David Reeves made some startling comments regarding Sony's plans for its upcoming gaming hardware.

Interestingly, when discussing PlayStation 3, Reeves revealed the possibility of several breeds of PS3 hardware, stating that "...there might be a normal PS3 for gamers, who just want to play the movies and have better games." But he also stated that there could be a "home server" version, boasting "all-singing, all-dancing features with maybe a hard disk drive."

Then, regarding PSP, Reeves went on to say, "Games will probably come out with no regional coding". Surprising news if true - and good news for impatient gamers. But it's by no means unheard of, since Game Boy has also lacked regional coding of any description. He also made comments on the possibility of PSP movies: "I think [the movie industry] will come up with quite a few surprises, so that you'd want to buy a movie on UMD as well as having it on DVD. Maybe."

Of course nothing is certain at this point, but we hope to give you something a little more concrete come this May's E3 in Los Angeles.
