Yes, a PS3 controller in your pockeet would be so comfortable and portableLayzor said:
OT: Eh, I'm not much of a handheld gamer in general to begin with, but this does look interesting. I was meaning to get a PSP, but laziness and disinterest with most handhelds put me off of it.
Let's see what Sony come up with here. Say what you will about the PSP franchise, it is not dead. Anything will look "dead" compared to the DS franchise, and 60 million units is nothing to scoff at. It would be a damn shame if Sony was to get dragged off the handheld scene, Nintendo needs some competition damnit!
Not at all. I have an original PSP-1000. Hopefully this one will be better than the original software wise. But a lot of the software fail was because of the failure to include the second stick. Shooters were terrible. As long as it is more powerful then my cell phone, and can do its share of my portable media needs that my phone does not already do, I may get it. We'll see.VicunaBlue said:

I give it a two opposable thumbs up!
I'm not impressed, at all. Sony's playing catch up with Nintendo and all they do is add a second thumbsticj in an akward position and... what the hell am I supposed to do with that "trackpad"?
The PSP should die already, Sony's poking a dead horse with a stick.

1: Wireless out here is bad/I don't have wireless nor intend to get wireless internet.
2: I like to have the actual games, for my library/incase I need some quick change I can sale the game.
3: Don't care for PS1 games.
To me, this is just an updated PSP Go and I'm not buying into that.
Of course you are, but you can stop being ignorant by actually doing researchshadowstriker86 said:

They're stupid? They thought Blu-Ray would be so appealing to gamers, yeah, a 600$ console. How appealing.
They didn't add rumble, but they added Six Axis. (Yeah, Six Axis... when was that used)
They removed the backwards compatability of playing PS2 games. What a great saling point, it's slightly cheaper and it can't play PS2 games anymore. But they kept PS1 apparently.
And they made fun of the DS, wich to this day is still kicking their asses in the handheld battle.
You do realize they are not going digital only for this device right? They stated that they won't be using UMDs but switching to another physical medium like memory cards or something similar to what the DS uses. The reason we don't see any place to put games is mainly because that is a prototype dev kit for all intents and purposes.Asuka Soryu said:
In any case, don't overreact until there is clear cut proof. Seems too many people are jumping to way too many assumptions way too quickly without anything to really back it up. They aren't going all digital, and switching to a better storage medium is smart. I don't mind UMDs, but they are fragile and not as ideal as memory carts which can hold more memory and are sturdier than mini disks.
Here's hoping this one is worth the price tag.
My problem with the PSP was the games. If it wasn't a GTA or God of War spin-off then it wasn't gonna sell. It did redeem itself by re-releasing the likes of Breath of Fire 3, Tales of Eternia and Star Ocean 1 + 2 tho.
Oh and don't bother with the UMDs this time please. That was just stupid too. (Or if they are. Make them a lot cheaper than DVDs instead of twice the price.)
