Engadget reports Sony is Planning a PlayStation Phone based on the Android Operating System.
After long-term speculation about a potential PlayStation phone, Engadget has today released a report claiming that Sony-Ericsson is presently working on a phone based on the Android Operating System.
Rumored to be a cross between the PSP Go and the Samsung Captivate, early mock-ups seem to suggest a mobile phone appearance with the PSP's d-pad and button layout in a slide-out keypad. PSP-capable titles such as God of War and LittleBigPlanet are said to be cross-compatible with the new device, while non-PSP releases, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, could be "on tap" for the mobile device.
Sony has yet to confirm that the phone is in the works, but could be waiting for either Gamescon or the Tokyo Game Show to announce the new device.

Leaked pictures of the newest edition of V Jump magazine reveal two new Tales games, one enhanced port.
While Namco's track record with regards to localizing its Tales line of RPGs has been a sore spot of series fans for years, those disappointed by Tales of Graces being skipped over may have a second shot. Scans of this month's V Jump revealed Tales of Graces F, a PlayStation 3 port of the game due out later this year with various extras. There's no guarantee Graces F will fare any better with Namco's North American branch, however the lack of region locking on the PlayStation 3 does lend itself better to importing.
Also announced today was Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 for the PSP. The third entry in the series will feature over 80 characters, including the main protagonist from Tales of Graces, and is set to be released sometime next year.
Finally, we received our first glimpse of the next "mothership" title in the series. The 13th core entry, as yet untitled, will be a PlayStation 3 exclusive. The only image shown was of a city, so details beyond the announcement are virtually nonexistent. Team Symphonia, also responsible for Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Vesperia, is rumored to be the developer. We're still far from seeing it release in Japan, however if any of these games do make it out of Japan this will probably be the one.

Eidos France and Amazon.de reveal limited collector's edition, exclusively for Europe.
Set to be released on September 10th, most Kingdom Hearts fans have no doubt already pre-ordered their copy of Birth By Sleep. Depending on where those pre-orders are placed, however, some may want to do their business elsewhere. While the pickings for North American fans are slim, pre-orders placed through either GameStop or Amazon will score customers PSP stickers modeled after the Japan-exclusive, Birth By Sleep edition of the console. Purchasing from Amazon also nets customers an e-voucher good for $10 off their next game related purchase, effectively reducing the price to $29.99.
For our friends across the Atlantic, or just for those willing to pay extra for region-specific goodies, there's the Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Special Edition. Packed with a copy of the game, a 48-page artbook, a set of art prints and a fancy box modeled after Japan's Birth By Sleep Ultimania, this should prove to be the definitive edition for fans. RRP for the Special Edition is 35 EUR, however Amazon UK is currently taking pre-orders for a little over 29 EUR with free super saver shipping.
