PSP2 Concept Rolls Out Like a Scroll, Thankfully Requires No Literacy

[wraggster]

While Sony is just releasing the PSP-3000, the design just isn't impractical enough for our tastes. So we'll look the gift horse in the mouth and turn our attentions to this completely imaged PSP2 concept. A flexible OLED screen pulls out from the base, flexible until stiffened through an electric charge (a la Batman's cape). Stereo speakers are fit in each side of the scroll, and while the control design appears completely unweidly, hey, at least this design features dual analog sticks

Of course the problem with OLED technology is that it has a useful lifetime measured in hours.

I'd pay 4000 $ for that.

they are getting better, celphones and that new gp system have them, and they will die ... about the time you dont care about them anymore, but yea put it on a flexible substrate and your looking at less than < 100 hours

play 1 over dramatic rpg and toss it in the trash?

maybe in the future, but not anytime soon

Nothing wrong with the current design.

agreed. people ask for and expect to much. while it's nice to dream up these kinds of ideas they would cost to much to manufacture and way to friggin much to buy. Plus think of the defects in such a thing? you could have plenty of defective ones where the electrical charge gives out within minutes- a couple days and so on.
