The rumored PlayStation Phone was back in the headlines again, and this time it brought with it some highly interesting video of Sony’s secret mobile device in action.

I pretty sure by now every gamer this side of the planet knows what a ‘PlayStation Phone’ looks like, all thanks to leaked photos of a prototype unit a few weeks back. Basically, the face of an Android-powered smart phone combined with a slide-out D-Pad and PlayStation face buttons, eerily similar to a PSP Go.

Now the device has been spotted in the untamed wilds of YouTube, filmed and posted by YouTube user xxmajstor. This sneaky spy was able to grab a hold of exactly the same prototype PlayStation Phone that was shown in the leaked pictures a few weeks back. More importantly, we finally learn what the device is being called behind the scenes – the Sony Ericsson ZEUS-Z1.

Perhaps a Trojan horse of a name, but considering the amount of Sony Ericsson branding on the thing, it looks like this device is clearly separate from the rumored PlayStation Portable 2.

Branding aside, what is clearly the jaw-dropper to this video is this freeze-frame shot of the PlayStation Phone’s screen of what is a PlayStation icon. No doubt by now, that earlier reports were right about this phone supporting a PlayStation marketplace of some sorts that will allow users of this phone to play PlayStation games.

But how and what kind of games? Again, only more questions, less answers.

Getting right back to the video, you can see even more fascinating details to the phone. On the opposite side of the phone you can see as clear as day the L and R buttons and a volume controller rocker — the same place as they are on the PSP Go — and a camera with a LED flash.

It’s a pretty slick phone, but truth be told some of the molding, including the back where the controls slide out, could still use some time in the lab. But knowing that this is still a prototype isn’t a major concern as of yet. Word is that we might hear more about this phone next month, what with the Consumer Electronics Show being held in Las Vegas, NV, and Sony a prime exhibitor.

Go right ahead and check out the full video for yourselves. It doesn’t have sound, but it sure does reveal a lot — which if your a tech-junkie like the majority of the Internet is, then it is good as gold.

This is a post from Ps3 Maven who bring you the best play station 3, Games, Mods and News.

Is it the real deal or just another news attention-grabbing phony? Find out as new details and pictures over the rumored PlayStation Phone hit the Internet.

With the PlayStation Portable pretty much a non-factor commercially, and Nintendo’s 3DS stealing attention spans with its eventual 2011 release, talk of Sony’s next portable have been slowly gaining steam on news sites and message boards.

For a while all chatter was simply based on hear say and nothing of substance – ahem – until now… Check out what got sent to the inbox over at Engadget.com — pictures of a PlayStation Phone prototype.

Incredibly, as some rumors depicted before, the PlayStation Phone prototype looks almost near identical to a PSP Go, except for the top-sliding screen that has buttons akin to what you might find on your standard smart phone. Oh and also no analog sticks.

Funny isn’t it? For all the complaints Sony received for only providing one analog stick for the PSP, it reacts by taking the other away. But it’s saving grace might be what they replaced it with – a touch-sensitive track pad that can replicate the PSP’s analog controls. Ahh, I’ve got your attention now, hmm?

Surely the big main attraction to the PlayStation Phone story though has to be the operating system that is displayed on the screen. It appears that Google’s Android 3.0 platform is the base of the system, but is also built to support a Sony Marketplace where you can purchase and download games.

Does that mean it will play PlayStation Portable games, PlayStation Mini games, or radically a completely new format of games? Nothing known to a full extent on that front, but by going off the design for the PlayStation Phone prototype, it certainly could be a foregone conclusion.

In fact the PlayStation Phone being an actual reality could be a foregone conclusion as well. Engadget appears to be firmly confident enough in its sources to take off the rumor tag with its reporting.

Of course some questions, regardless of what has been confirmed, are still unknown. When will it be ready? How much will it be, and what games will be compatible with it? For now all we have is small trinkets of information, these pictures, and no word from Sony themselves beyond the usual “no comment” — which will have to do for the time being.

While you wait you check out these other fine stories: like the arcade shooting attachment for the PlayStation Move, or the new Toy Story 3 PlayStation 3 bundle.
