psp2 problem!

Doesnt it bug anybody that as soon as the psp2 comes out we'll all have to buy one in order to keep playing games since they wont make games for the older versions?? I dont mind if they do but im hoping it wont be for another 3 years or so.... its just that i havent had my psp for long(about 1 year) and im not looking forward to having to buy another system sometime soon. but dont get me wrong i would love a psp2 just not to soon. u got me?

I know what you meen! :)

Actually, it has a problem called 3DS.Rod90

I don't see how this is really a problem...all game consoles have their production life spans...and the real boon is waiting to buy a system until they've worked all the kinks out of it. (Remember the famed 360 problems? Notice how the newer PSPs are faster than the older ones? Notice how the DS Lite is brighter and smaller than the original?) Just play the your system and wait for their 2.0 version of the PSP2 system to come out, it'll work better and probably be less of a hassle to carry with you. It's not until the second incarnation they get a good idea of where they want to go (Remember the fat PSP's infrared sensor that did nothing? Remember how the PSP Slim removed it?). Besides, I played Gameboy Color games up until the DS Lite came out, graphics do not make a game fun, they just make it look pretty. Besides, once the new system comes out, the good games are swapped in to buy the new systems, and you get these things for CHEAP. Megaman Zero is still one of my favorite games, despite it being current last gen Nintendo. Don't despair, just wait for the system to get some great titles and then get it once you find some games on the horizon you really want to play. (It's a lot more satisfying for me to get the system after some research...also why I play my PSP more than my DS, because I found more titles for it I enjoyed.) For me, I waited a good while before I made a move on one of the three home consoles that I wanted, based on the games they offered...I ended up with a PS3 because of Soul Calibur 4, Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, Bayonetta, Wipeout, Street Fighter 4, etc. Game selection is a huge thing when it comes to enjoying a system, so just wait until you can get the system when it has the games you want. But for now? Play that PSP to your heart's content, man. Cross that bridge when you come to it.MacSexy

I like that. ha thanx for the confort bro :P

psp2 is crap. it is nearly identical to the PSPgo (slider with no UMD slot). Which means there is no backwards compatability and that it is digital games onlyNintendoNite

so it has been confirmed??

You so called 'loyalists' are all alike, acting rashly without bothering to research what you are talking about, starting system wars when there needs to be none.

Man up, do some research from real sources and come back when you can play with the big boys. We'll be waiting with open arms, regardless of what system you play. For some of us, there is no shame in a Computer, Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft gaming console.

Besides...you being a Nintendo fan, that means you're more often than not posting in the Nintendo forums here...that makes you an ambassador of sorts. Good job giving good people bad names.

Finally...I understand you're trying to be badass and all that jazz...but believe me, would you act this way in front of the gal you want to impress? (Or guy for that matter...your profile tells me nothing about who you are as a person, no offense intended in this part.)

As long as Sony keeps the PS1 classics coming weekly you should never run out of games to play, Xenogears, Threads of fate, an Vagrant Story all in the palm of your hand, those three games or coming 2011 so have no fear.

This. There's no need to complain about new games not being released, when a good deal of them just don't measure up to the new ones.

I'll take nostalgia factor over a risky buy any day.

I think Sony will drop the original PSP like a rock. Its already not seeing enough attention, so why spend some on it when their shiny new system will be out. Better start saving kids! Personally I can't wait. I've been gaming the sh** out of my PSPGO.

PSP has a lot of games for it, but you have to look for it...it's not the sort of thing they'd do on the PSN store to once the new system launches, BAM, all their PSP1 content is gone. There are still games to be imported here, and some aren't even on the map.

Nintendo keeps their systems well supported until the newer system is big enough on sales to stand on its own.With how Sony started into the game marketbecause of Nintendo backstabbing them with the whole 'Play Station CD Add-on to the Super Nintendo', they take their competitor very seriously. It's not like Sony, with the scorn like that of a woman's (not trying to be sexist here, just saying angry women freak me the f*** out), is not going to make any rash movements until the new system can stand on it's own...sure, it's mimicry to a degree, but it's also sound business thinking.

Besides...the classic games are classics because they're amazing, surely a good deal of the PSP titles out there like Crisis Core, from Square-Enix's massively hyped Final Fantasy VII franchise (don't get me wrong, I played all the games, love 'em to death...I just hate new fans to the series that claim VII is the best without playing any of the other games to properly judge it against the other games in the series)...or like God of War, where testosterone oozes from Kratos' sweaty man boobs...surely, we can milk the nipples of the God of War for more creamy money-in-the-pocket-for-Sony goodness? The PSP has several essential titles for some massive franchises; Metal Gear, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy...and I'm only naming the ones I like.

Sure there are simul releases...but the PSP has not been the target of these things.

Are you serious? Have you not seen the leaked images?

That's just a prototype...

...and the article this picture was in says, "There's a newer one, which is a single, non-sliding block. Remember those last Kotaku rumours of the unit overheating? Sony switched back to a form like PSP-1000 in order to cool it down."

Ah bugger, even if that is real (really looks like a PSP Go Proto)...it looks like an alpha version at best, there's no polish in it, no Sony logo...and the thumb-sticks seem to be a little bizarre if we're thinking about gameplay with the core buttons. Even if the console looks that way now, by the time it makes it to beta, it's going to change form again, and even then it's not all in stone. Think back to the PS3 boomerang controller and what not. I wouldn't trust 'leaked' images until we get a few official announcements about it. Speculate all ya want...it's a humdinger of a find to see the actual work-in-progress leaked somewhere on the net. People do tend to get canned over these things. [QUOTE="riariases"]Every post of yours is like a Stephen King novel.MacSexy

it was more of a compliment... a bit quick to judge.riariases

the psp 2's problem is that its a phonejsh020

Seriously, Sony would be stupid to model their next product after a previous design. It wouldn't be a completely "new" console and nobody would buy it. I'm looking forward to the PSP2. I'm not sure about you guys, but I am always open to new technology and I'm sure Sony will make a good PSP2. After all, Nintendo is starting to catch up with technological advances in their DSes, so Sony will have to do the same. Don't hate on something that hasn't been introduced completely yet ;)

Sorry about that coughing fit...I must be coming down with something.

Just...don't be so quick to judge a company based off your own opinion...history may have something else to say. Companies tend to recycle designs because it's a style, the GameBoy's is iconic because of this. Even current day tech has been using rehashed designs, like Apple with the iPod Touch, iPhone, and (to a lesser degree) the iPad. New designs for products costs money, and sometimes it's smarter just to stick with an old design but up the specs.

Handheld gaming systems are not as much as a highlight as you'd think, since sure, there is a hype for it, the main focus is on the home consoles. Nintendo has been placing more of a focus on their handhelds in recent years, but that's because they established a good solid footing a while ago.

Game companies have done this for ages. They're not going to change now.
