What if the next PSP doesn't support UMD?

if they take out umd's old grandma's and crap wont know how to buy their grandson's games

since 1 gig cards are going for around $40 max now, i think sony should just put their games on the memory cards and just find a way to lock the cards indefinitely - like the ds does. The price of the games shouldn't be any different from the umd prices

It's impossible that PSP2 wouldn't support UMD. Deny yourself compatibility with the big library of games you already have would too stupid even for Sony

There's no problem with backwards compatability as far as games are concerned. They just need to make all umd games run from memory... just like now with the iso emulation. Could drop game cost too. I'll only really be pissed if there's a different(better) processor build.

If the PSP2 didnt have a UMD slot, i probley wouldnt get it. Even if it will have one, if it comes out too soon, i wont get it. It seems like Sony just came out with the PSP, they need to give it some time to see whats good and bad about it, and incorporate that into the PSP2.
if they take their time and release the PSP2 in 2008/2009, much more people would buy it seeing how the first PSP would be outdated.
With the UMD slot vs hard drive, why can't they have both? If the PSP2 had a UMD slot and a hard drive I would get it, along with millions of other people.
