Hundreds of readers suggest how to make PSP more powerful in 2007. Are you listening?
December 22, 2006 - The PlayStation Portable continues grow in ability and features, with new updates and system overhauls released to enhance the system. Still, PSP owners are eager to see the system play at its maximum potential, to use all of that horsepower inside this powerful handheld system for bigger and better features. We want system-wide abilities that make gaming on PSP better and faster and more reliable, like cross-game Friend Lists and more common Game Sharing. We want multimedia that's open and that plays just about anything we can stick on a Memory Stick. We want PlayStation Store on PSP so we can download and play games and demos, just like big-brother system PS3 can do. We want PlayStation Network on PSP so we can talk with our friends on PSP (or PS3) over text, voice or maybe even video. We want developers to have the option to unlock the full 333MHz ability of the PSP, giving us peak performance for even more incredible games and features. In short, we want the PSP to be all that PSP can be.
What started as just a goof in our write-up of the new PSP v3.03 Update on what we'd like to see next time spurred a flood of emails to IGN about what readers would like to see the PSP's next system update include. Some of your ideas are out-there, while others sound completely doable in future PSP updates (and, if we wanted to get snarky about it, we could mention that some features have already been done by the PSP homebrew/hacker community, but since most PSPs lock this content out for fear of piracy, few gamers get to enjoy these unofficial PSP programs.) After the first 300 messages came rolling in, we knew we had to share these -- we also knew we had to get these ideas out there in the hopes that Sony would see what PSP owners are thinking about and pick up some of the ideas for the system.
Rather than dump a few responses in a mailbag, we gathered up out of the bag as many of the good ideas as we could find and put them together in one big, long, long, big collection of notes. (You can read all eight pages over your own choice of eight crazy nights!) And although we have no way of making Sony make any or all of these wishes and ideas come to life on PSP, we'll see about what we can do to get the list over to the SCE office in the hopes that they get an idea of what dedicated PSP owners are looking forward to happening on the system as it moves into its third year of release. Here's to hoping that we all get our PSP wishes granted in 2007...
