131w ago - Sony PlayStation Store Senior Manager Grace Chen has shared this weeks Digital Comics Store PSP updates today, as follows:

Hi everyone, as we approach our first anniversary the team is busy preparing something special for you all. Hope you're excited. Here's the info for today's releases.

For WoW fans we have World of Warcraft: Curse of the Worgen #1. A series of grisly, animalistic murders have rocked the walled town of Gilneas.

A famous detective sets out to discover the perpetrators and finds far more than he bargained for. To find the truth, he must delve through years of twisted history - both the history of his family and Gilneas itself. This pivotal 5-issue miniseries explores the in-depth lore of the Worgen!

Artist Ludo Lullabi tells us more in this exclusive creator Q&A:

The artwork evokes the atmosphere of Azeroth perfectly. How challenging was it to capture this world in the format of a comic book?

Before working on the World of Warcraft comics series, I was a regular player and knew the general atmosphere of the game.

131w ago - Today VG247.com (linked above) has reported on some leaked images of what is believed to be the Sony PSP2 Dev Kit, which sports twin sticks and a trackpad.

To quote: "The shots clearly show the device's forward- and rear-facing cameras, as well as the much-discussed trackpad on the rear of the unit.

Note that this isn't the console's final form factor. As you can see, some developers are working with a kit with similar construction to a PSP go at the moment - see the update below - with a sliding screen over physical controls.

We don't know when the final physical spec will be nailed down, only that this isn't it. PSP2 is supposedly heading for release in late 2011.

If you're in any doubt as to the authenticity of these images, don't be. It is what it is. Enjoy.

Update: We've been told by a source that these images are from the last kit. There's a newer one, which is a single, non-sliding block.

Remember those last Kotaku rumours of the unit overheating? Sony switched back a form like PSP-1000 in order to cool it down."
