The PSP 2 COMETH.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/top/rumor-no-denying-it-psp2-is-coming-242845.php

And not only that, it looks like it's coming later this year. There have been rumors ever since the DS Lite hit that Sony was also planning a redesign of its portable. Some of those rumors have ground in reality, some of them are just wishful thinking. Nothing official has been announced, and Sony has shot down any chatter regarding a redesign saying it's not happening. With all this, PSP2 looks to be a pipe-dream — Like it's not happening.

Apparently, it is.

Various third party and highly placed sources state that the PSP2 is coming. Speculation is swirling around the industry, and third party publishers are hoping to tie their games to the PSP2 launch. Thing is, Sony has yet to pass along any information about when that will be. Meaning we won't see big third party titles at launch.

Word has it that a big announcement will most likely hit at E3 with Sony unveiling the redesigned portable. An announcement of launch date (which should be sometime 4th quarter) is entirely possible as well. The redesigned product apparently does exist as this is what we've heard so far:

• The screen is gorgeous
• The loads are faster
• Improved buttons
• Internal flash — 8GB
• Possible touch-screen
• Possible built-in camera
• Uses UMD

The recent blockbuster success in Japan should prove that the PSP is anything but dead and deserving of a make-over. Stay tuned!

Still a rumor...but we know it's coming.  Maybe it'll be announced at E3?

It'll use UMD again?

Why would they switch sides mid stream. I expect they would wait till the real PSP 2, rather than an updated version.

I doubt that the PSP2 is coming unless they can copy the recent success of the handheld in Japan right now over to North America and Europe. No doubt existing owners of the PSP will be upset about the PSP2 because it's just like the DS and DS Lite all over again. The touch screen is a nice feature but what happens if a game comes out that uses the touch screen? Will PSP owners be able to control the game in the same way as PSP2 users?

Surveys have been done about owners of cell/mobile phones and one of the biggest features they wanted to see was a longer battery life. It's a shame that link didn't say anything about longer battery life.

I think it's too late to update the system now. Concentrate on making great games and market the thing more.

If it does come out any time soon then current PSP owners are getting bent over by Sony.iunderstand

So, it's supposedly borrowing concepts from nintendo now? I think they shouold wait till the zune comes out too, so that they can "innovate" some more. As far as previous examples, the ps3. Motion snesing and a home button? Three guesses, the last one doesn't count. But always remember, that touch screens are "gimmicks".ranger_waha
