VG247 claims to have obtained two images of a PSP2 development prototype — pictures that appear to have been taken with a Barbie Video Girl-quality camera. The images depict a “slider” style device with the familiar PlayStation button layout, two thumbsticks, a microphone, two cameras, and a trackpad on the back. See the other picture after the break.

The site notes that the development kit “isn’t the console’s final form factor” — and then, in an update, mentions that, according to a source, Sony has already replaced this version of the dev hardware with a non-sliding version, designed to rectify an overheating problem. Which means that even if this thing is real (and we’re not at all convinced it is, considering, for example, that it lacks the distinctive segmented PlayStation D-pad), it doesn’t look anything like whatever the final hardware will be.

Look neat .. specially with the dual analog sticks .

All of these photos have been around at Getty Images for a long time now and remained undiscovered till today Thanks to AllAboutSteveJobs.com for this great find. The pictures were taken by Time Magazine’s Diana Walker after Steve’s permission in 2004, courtesy Fortune Magazine for reviving these photos once again and giving us a chance to share them with you guys. We really have to admit, Steve was kinda healthy back then!
