DigiTimes is reporting that Sony plans to release a version of its PSP that uses NAND flash memory from Samsung in the second half of this year. The PSP will feature 8GB of NAND flash, according to the site's sources.

"Although recent reports stated that Sony would opt not to use NAND flash in the next version of its PSP, and would instead use a microdrive, the sources indicated that Sony was stalling to negotiate better pricing from Samsung. When rumors circulated on February 16 that negotiations had broken down between Sony and Samsung, spot prices for 1GB and 2GB NAND flash dropped 5.3% and 3% in one day, according to the Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN)."
