that's my thought too actually. The first PSP was slammed early on for its very short battery life. They must have some plan to deal with that.

It IS a sexy little system though, and with 3g it better have internet browsing capabilities in order to compare it to items like the iPod touch.

I probably won't end up buying it (I haven't played handhelds in ages) but I will say that to cram so much power into a tiny thing is truly amazing.


It's also nice to see a further deviation between the 3ds and the NGP.

I remember getting my NGP 12 years ago in Akihabara with Samurai Spirits! What a fucking awesome time.

apparently they're going towards flash memory card storage for the games. It's a good concept. If they could keep the price below the price of a 3DS, then it could very well stand a chance. Anyone get a glimpse at the playstation phone. Had to laugh because it was running PS, snes, and gba emulators for the game content.

Looking at the unit itself, I find this extremely difficult, there is no way Sony will be able to price the PSP2 at $250.00

Also, I could understand why the PSP2 could be exciting for the hardcore community but unfortunely I think history will repeat itself and it wont catch the mainstream attention the way the 3ds will. The 3ds has a gimmick, and even if a lot of hardcore don't care about 3D the mass market may place that above any other cutting edge thing the PSP2 may offer, sad but true.

Nice little system, was still surprised to hear they were going the OLED route but understandable give it allows for a thinner form factor going LED in general. Kind of disliking see console games just converted to portable, but given the sysem is so similar in stats to a mini-PS3 (or so they say), don't blame them. Waiting for the price of this to come in at $350-400 or something. If they can hit $299 and have some really good things set up from the get-go, it could work well for Sony.

Well at least they would have something against nintendo but i can see 3ds selling because of the 3d. I still do not see psp2 selling more then 3ds. The tech of the psp2 didn't amaze me basicly everything smart phones have already done minuse the calling.

Sounds like a nintendo fanboy to me.


Listen up, neither of these two systems is doing anything revolutionary. The 3d is unimportant. I can guarantee you most will leave it off once they realize the illusionis broken once you move your head and or system and that it kills the battery life.

As far as gaming hardware goes, the psp2 looks like it has more to offer but well have to see what people do with it.

I'm not really excited about either ATM.

I'm very glad to see SONY stepping up it's game. This device looks very promising but I am more interested in the PSP Phone that was leaked out recently rather than this new PSP2.

When quotes like that are made, it makes me wonder how much the new NGP will be. From what they are promising for specs, the price if I were a betting a man, I would guess the price to be 400+ at launch.

Not to mention flash memory? Not a bad idea except the used market will not exist anymore.

I'd think about picking one up if there was a ridge racer, seems a little too crammed with stuff though.

My pricing guesses:

Non-3G model: 300 or 350
3G model: 350 or 400

I think they'll be fucked if they charge any more than that, and there's so much power in there I can't see them charging any less.

I have to be honest and say that as much as I'd want a psp2, if I'm unwilling to spend $250 on a 3DS, I'd be even less likely to spend $300+ on any Sony handheld, either.

For me, $200 or less and I will almost certainly end up with one. $201-$250 and they'll have to catch me at a weak moment. More than $250, and you can pretty much forget about it.

I wouldn't buy a Sony handheld on launch, anyway. I remember all the problems the psp early adopters went through. I'm perfectly happy waiting a year or two for a couple hardware revisions, and if the price comes down in that time -- cool.

Day One purchase for me! The design is simple, and yet so good at the same time. Thumbs up!
