Variety.com is going out on a little limb today, reporting that Sony’s much rumoured motion sensing controller is not only ‘real’ but is also due to be shown at E3 next month. A source has told Variety that a working prototype has been available for months, and largely fits what was in the original patent – the controller apparently uses LEDs and a tiny webcam to track movement. So far, Sony has declined to comment so its best to consider this as a rumor for now (at least until E3 anyway).

One of the more convincing rumors has revealed some interesting information from a supposed “inside source”.

More details on the new PSP model should be revealed at E3 in June, and the new model is expected to launch towards the end of this year.

This downloadable game is a 3D take on classic Arkanoid-style gameplay. You move a robotic-looking paddle back and forth on the bottom edge of the screen and keep a ball bouncing around in play, destroying things in an attempt to clear out the play space.
In the game, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year. They will also have a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical ingredients in Potions class and take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory.
