Not bad, but it seems to struggle with the ps1 emulation. This definitely can't be the psp2.

its not the psp2, which brings up the question of what is Sony's move. they truly don't expect me buy a psp2 and aXperia Play.

I'm aware. it's just that we've been reading that it could be the same device and this pretty much confirms that it's two different devices.

I know it's not the PSP2, but it says Playstation Pocket on the screen. Maybe it will play minis?

As someone who has wanted them to make a PSP phone for a longggggggggggg time, this makes no sense since it's not going to be compatiable with PSP2 games... Your releasing a PSP2 with 3G support, but it's not a phone. Your releasing a PSP with phone support, but it's not a PSP2. PSP phone is fail on so many levels which is sad. The PSP2 should have it like the Iphone/Ipod touch. You can get it as a phone, or a standalone media platform.

I don't get it. It graphically cant compete with handhelds and has anyone ever played games on a 3.7-4" mobile phone?... Your battery drains within 1-2 hours... I don't see the point. The only way this would have worked is if it was the PSP2/Phone... this thing is a X10 with a slide out gamepad.

i assume we wont see any full retail games (god of ware, LBP ect.) on the device. rather smaller games like Mini. Which i would be okay with, because that would actually make the psp2 and this thing different.

Couth_

Really? It's an odd looking keyboard to be JUST a phone... How intriguing of Sony to use a very similar setup to the PS controller or the PSP on a phone... Really what could this mean if it is just a phone? (sarcasm)

It better be a good phone and gaming combo i really do want one of them and if it's a decent price then i'll be having one once the post-release reviews have been done.

It would make this thing pointless. If someone cares so much about gaming they would get a expensive mobile phone with a game pad I'd assume they would also get the latest hand held... making the inferior gaming phone completely pointless.

Only if you are in the market for a new handheld and a new smartphone at the same time. PSP2 is aimed at gamers and is competition for ds3. PSPhone is aimed at the phone crowd and is competition for iphone and other android phones.

It's seems like sony ericsson has finally gotten the permission to use the playstation brand for a phone. I don't see it being a serious gaming platform, just a cash-in (though I think the hardware will be great).

I didn't read the entire article but does it state what kind of playstation games it can play? Is it basically a PSP2 phone or PSP Go with phone capabilities?

but how many people download games for their phone, but dont own a dedicated handheld or even a console. They could just be rolling it out with Minis and casual games ( a la angry birds) and giving it the playstation name for recognition. This is their jump into casual handheld market. If the apple App store has proven anything, there is money in 99 cent games

Thats if the phone it self is a great phone... there's too much competition around and apple juggernaught is due for a upgrade this year too.
