Sony Next Generation Portable Wrap-Up

The thing I want the most is video output through PS3 (linked by USB, playable with my DS3-controller) or directly by HDMI to my TV/Reciver so I can play the games on my TV as well if I want to, if resolution are as good as they claim it shouldn't be impossible or unplayable for that matter, come on Sony, I dare you to try and make me satisfied =)

@ SquidBiskets: Maybe because 3DS is inferior to this in all aspects? Unless you think a play mode giving eye strain and headaches is better than all those specifications listed here.

Bring on Call of Duty for the NGP!

Eh the PSP2 is atleast better. The 3ds is just another DS in 3d with a couple of features.

wow.

man this looks awesome! I'm so happy this looks like a total win!

@mischiefmeerkat It is backwards compatible with the digital versions of PSP1 games.

Wow, all of a sudden an absolute OUTPOURING of psp2 info =o looks nifty, and sounds cool. Hopefully the web browser WORKS this friggin time. too bad it's not backwards compatible with psp1 games :/

@SquidBiskets Why? Are you serious? The 3DS is nothing compared to the NGP at the moment. Almost everyone who has gotten a 3DS doesn't like the 3D feature anyway. Sony has come up with a device that is so amazing and powerful it tops any handheld out on the market. However, yes I do agree it sounds pricey. But it shouldn't be less then $300 dollars I'm sure many won't mind paying that much money for such an awesome gaming device. I'm not a fan of touch screens, but with the double touch pads on this baby making it seem more realistic playing sounds really interesting to me. I look forward to buying the NGP (PSP2) for whatever amount it is finalized for cuz I know I won't be let down by performance, or web accessibility. I am still worried that the games created for it aren't going to be the best, on the other hand, with all these new controls it'll be interesting seeing what the gaming companies offer. Excited for this device's release date!

@GeneralShowzer Since when did Nintendo have overpriced hardware? I thought N64, NGC, Wii and all the versions of DS were cheaper than their equivalent competitors... >.

WOW, the graphics are incredible, i almost can't believe this is a portable console. I was planning to buy a PS3 this year but i think i'm going for this one :P... Or both if i'll find a good summer job.

@squidbiskets - because some folks can afford it?

I'm getting the psp2 because of the epic coming games.. sorry 3ds..

Sony never learns. NGP is going to fail against 3DS. Portable gaming should be unique and difference, not an inferior copy of home console. I rather play a much superior version of Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted, or Lost Planet on a big HD screen, than on a 5 inch screen. There's no way I am going to pay $300-400 to play all the inferior versions of home console ports.

@SquidBiskets - why are you excited to play 3D versions of N64 games on the 3DS?

I want this when it comes out, but there is no way I can afford it at that price. My wedding and education are much more important to me.

@NND1 So already the annouuncement of it uncharted and MGS and Lost planet 2 and COD are not good enough for the release. 300-350 is nothing for this. You have to pay 400 dollars for a damn ipod touch 4g 64 gig. And the 3ds is 250 dollars. I mean they added touchscreen to it, graphics near there console or pc counterparts, can play videos and music, back touchpad, second analog stick, has some kickass games already, its an all in one device, except for a phone. That is a fairly generous price for that. Anyways who cares about the outside look, big deal, Its a perfect design so you can reach everything easy.

2 new handhelds in 1 year. *sigh* Guess were all my money is going.

@SquidBiskets That is what I was wondering.

i dunno but, i think the 3ds is more interesting

Looks pretty rad. Looks like I'm going for two handhelds this year.

I WANT THAT THING SO BADLYYY

This might even be better than the PS3!

And people said 250 for the 3DS was to much.. Why is everyone excited to pay 300-350 bucks?

looks like sony has REALLY nothing to do down at HQ, i mean dont they know they have psps?this seems useless as hell just keep updating the psps simple

Wow 3DS will dominate this. Why even try?

The 3ds is going to be better. If there is a portable xbox, it will stand no chance

I don't own a PSP, nor any handhelds in general. But if this can do all this awesome stuff....I'll be the first in line.

This looks great, but I would rather have a 3ds

@luc11044 Exactly the NGP will rule

super... cartridge based... hope they still use memory stick or harddrive and backwards playability... a back side touch panel? maybe a L2 and R2 touch etc.. looks awesome

@Marky360 - I agree 100%

Kojima's next game and MH3 SOLD!

@PenguinIzzy Dude you are a epic fail. The NGP will be amazing you gotta be blind if you can't see that. who the hell is gonna waste money on a stupid cell phone to play lackluster games when they can get PS3 quality titles on the go. And don't even get me started on the 3DS. 3D is a gimmick and a bad one at that plus I'm not paying $250 just so I can play a couple N64 games in 3D you got to be joking.

Nice, but what format will these be on? I'm starting to hate UMDs - rotating media loads way too slow. But on the other hand, PSN Store has disgusting DRM. I never thought I'd ask somebody to copy Nintendo, but please, give us flash sticks like on the DS.

the NGP has a huge advantage over the 3DS,,, the advantage is Call of Duty ONLINE

This is going to be epic! Welcome back Sony!

Looks very slick, don't know how they will utilize the back side touch panel yet. Looks like I will have to decide between the 3DS or the NGP. Great job Sony!

PSP2= Sony's epic comeback on the gaming scene. Must i say more?

the DS does have a nice 3D gimmick but this thing is a graphical powerhouse, anyone who's looking to have the best gaming machine that can fit into your pocket will pick this one up, and so will I

wow what a joke....300-350 dollars for it......they should've at least given it a new look,..i feel bad for everyone wasting their money on it.

999...us dollars

another over powered SONY machine....U need games to win SONY...good ones otherwise all the power in the world will not help.. Quit following behind Jaguar and 3DO........LUdiCrous..

YES!!!..Did I just hear it's not Digital Download only..But cartridge format as well sounds sick..Look how those games look dam..Now all it needs is good price point for me to afford it..

A-freakin'-mazing!

man the graphics quality in those videos is seriously impressive, trully does look like this might be capaple of creating a full console experience while out of the house if when its released it does what is being claimed, and the price is right this thing will sell like crazy, i cant wait

Looks much more impressive than the 3Ds. Nintendo is doing the old trick again, underpowered - overpriced hardware, with gimmicks. Hope they don't get rewarded for that this time.

@DevilBorg I heard that it will run $300-$350

THE STUPID LADY EATING THE MIC MESSED THE VIDEO UP!!!!!
