PSP 2 Details ?

[jwilds73]

You know Nintendo will have a cartridge adapter for the Revolution to play GB DS games and or GBA games also on the home system. That alone is a big selling point for me as I can play portable games on my home system when I am at home instead of just on my hand held. PS3 needs a UMB drive or drive adapter to allow me to play UMD games and movies on the PS3.

If it comes out this December i am seriously gonna kill Sony. I worked hard for my PSP and they just decide to make a new one with 4gb and camera? What the hell. Its already so expensive and they want to make a new one? WTF. Its not easy making money in Malaysia man. Dangit. Now i am seriously pissed at this news.

agreed.

I bought my psp on its american launch day, just about a year ago. It is far to early to make a replacement for it; especially a replacement that only offers slight improvement over the original. Game systems are not like cellular phones. Gamers don't want to buy a new model every few months just to stay "on the bleeding edge".

The extra RAM WOULD (I almost dare say WILL) make a difference in the games. Just as a small recent example (and I know commercial roms don't work yet but they may eventually), PSMonkey's N64 emulator can only handle a max ROM size of around 16megs. This is because of memory restrictions. There are N64 games that are over 40! not to mention that the 4meg ram expansion pack emulation might also be introduced which would more than likely bring the current available RAM available for a ROM roughly 12megs...

Now do you honestly think the game makers aren't going to exploit the extra memory available to them in the new PSP2? They can, so they will, and older PSP models will have to have a stripped down version of the game to run it

What? It doesn't have more ram but only 4 GB of internal memory for mp3 and video.

If they say it's coming out in December, we can expect it no sooner than 2009. Don't you guys know sony by now?

I bought mine last july, so I've gotten a lotta play time outta it. You've got to feel sorry for the people who bought on just recently! By the looks of things their going to release a younger sexier psp in the next 12 monthes.

Curses!

I forget who was heralding it around here before but we are going back to the days of Atari where they release craptastic system after system with next to no real upgrade in technology. Tossing a camera and more ram and built in 4 gig storage isn't a true step forward technologically it's simply adding more existing tech to the device. And while the added features may be nice they truly aren't innovative or any sort of technological leap. What should the lifespan of these system be before they are replaced with newer truly updated versions? The psp has hardly scratched the market. Were it not for emulation I wouldn't own one due to it's horrible selection of games. If they truly want to update the PSP they need to go alot further then just the meager plans it sounds like they have now.

BTW i sayed the old psp wont run the new games with out a fw update.

I doubt sony will drop support for the psp1.
It will just be slimer.
