Source: Three now-blank pages on EBgames.com.
The official story: Sega reps did not respond to requests for comment.
What we heard: It's been little more than a year since Sega released the last OutRun game, the Xbox-exclusive OutRun2. So when rumors began to spread about a new entry in the series coming to the PlayStation 2, PSP, and Xbox, Sony partisans took heart--and with good reason. The source of the rumor is three pages on EBgames.com (linked above). Though now blank, all three display "OutRun 2006 Coast 2 Coast" in their subject lines. GameSpot also got a screenshot of the PSP product page before it was pulled (pictured), which clearly shows the title.
Could the pages just be a data-entry error? Unlikely. Besides the fact that three separate product pages were created, the title looks a little too detailed to be a mistake. Then there's EBgames.com's long history of listing games before they are announced, including such high-profile games as the Xbox 360 Burnout and the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack. So if you're the bettin' sort, a double-sawbuck says that Sega will be getting its OutRun on handheld and consoles next year.
Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus.
