Gameinformer speculating about things again?

No thank you.

I have no doubt that the PSP 2 will be a big step from the PSP right now. Whether it can hold the mar... Nvm. this isn't system wars.

I have searched the web all over for information about this psp2. lots and lots of rumors, but some news was from Sony himself. it wil have a touch-pad on the back and it wil have 2 joysticks. EA said that it would be even more powerful then the Xbox 360. The release date will be in November/December 2011

This fits with IGN's latest rumour that the PSP2 will be roughly half as powerful as the PS3, and capable of early generation PS3 graphics.

I don't even have my PSP yet, but I've been looking for any info about the PSP2. Seems like it'll be released around the end of 2011 and will have amazing hardware. The main thing I'm worried about though is price! How much is this thing going to be? I wouldn't want to spend $400+ on a handheld gaming system lol. Also, I really can't think of any good uses for a touchpad on the back of the device... Hmm. (yes I know there is no official word yet. My above questions are just me thinking out loud :))

If Sony can make PSP 2 at least a half the "power" of a PS3. With two analog nubs this time around I will be happy. Sony shoot for a portable half Playstation 3. To make a 2011 launch would be wise. (unlikely however) with the 3DS in March 2011 which "could" take over the handheld realm right away. If it doesn't pull a virtual boy

If it's DLC-only I definitely will skip it. And then there's the price tag which could be extremely high. Eh, No thanks.

I'm really excited to see the new design of the PSP 2 as well as the launch games. However, I will only get it if: - There are two analog sticks - Backwards compatibility with PSP 1000, 2000, 3000 games - HD graphics or at least better than the current PSP 3000 - Either a touch screen or a keyboard of some sort - Smaller than the PSP 3000 - Longer battery duration (8-10 hours of game time, 2-3 hour charge) - Multiple colors - $300 or under Thats alot to ask but the main ones I want are two analogs, longer battery life, HD graphics and smaller.

I think they might, but hope they don't. It was an awful, awful format that should be forgotten about.

I have a sinking feeling they will as well. Let's hope they've learned from the PSP Go, however. I don't mind having some PSN store exclusives, but having everything on the PSN store. Ick. Some people complain that the 3000 is loud, I personally don't mind. Almost anything is better than download-only.

2 nubs, and L2 and R2 buttons, a well balanced armored core game and I am completely sold.

I'd still buy it if the battery is just 3-6 hours of gameplay as am already used to the PSP 3000 default battery management.

2 nubs, more buttons, better graphics and decent games are pretty much probably.

I'd easily pay 300 bucks depending on the titles. :)

BTW, RAM isn't everything. You could have a high RAM device w/ slower processing units crap out against a low RAM device with significantly faster processing units. It also depends on the architecture.

Good luck Sony.

I also hope Sony gives some focus on the younger audience w/c is a huge market. They seem to have more affinity to newer inputs like a touch screen, accelerometer and gyroscope. Having such or similar features IMO can make or brake the competition against Nintendo. They should at least have the basics covered like SIX AXIS controls and/or a touch screen.

they should have the option for download or a umd/disc/cartridge version for each game, so we have a choice, not so big games i would download but the big games i would get a hard-copy of, i hope they have cartridges because they're compact, and UMD's are SLOOOOW

Its been confirmed for a while that the PSP2 will NOT use UMDS (huge disappointment), but will rather use digital distribution (downloads) and memory sticks (DS kinda games??)

Thank god for that. UMDs were terrible. They were fragile, noisy and power guzzling.

I think the PSP2 would still be up for some other physical media. That'll solve the collection itch.

Lack of UMD's (which are awful) is kind of a double edged sword. On one hand you get rid of a poor media format that east batteries faster then solid state media and on the other you can't have backwards compatibility (which, I think, in the handheld market is a pretty big selling point).

Sony would be foolish to go DD only. You need to have your product represented in stores. It would be a mistake to let Nintendo have oodles of games on the store shelf and not Sony games represented.

Your kidding right ?. UMD is an awful solution. The only upside is that, it would be able to support BC with previous PSP titles you own (not including DD). Flash storage or carts is infinitely more better. It cuts down on load times, holds more data than UMD's, It is quiet, and it doesn't tax on the battery life as severely. The decision for Sony to use game carts is the best decision they could have made.
