PSP 2 Details ?

[dragaron]

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".

I agree totally.

I don't really care about the memory and size specs... what i would really like to see is a second analog stick. That is constantly a frusteration with this system when playing FPS's and the like. If it doesn't have that then i'm not even thinking about getting it.

I hate sony and all their really awesome inventions. Why do they have to be so bullsh*t?

it would plug into the dc power onteh top and then plug intot he usb port their too so u would have to upgrade to use it

No keyboard in recent history (at least, since I've been alive) has ever required seperate power beyond the AT, PS/2, or USB connection that it's connected to. USB would be adequate I would imagine.

And DC power on the top? what are you talking about?

I don't think that's ever going to happen until a REAL PSP2. That is to say, in the PS2 vs. PSX kind of way. I don't think Sony would add such a thing unless it had it's own independent functionality of the original stick, and I don't think that we're going to see new buttons anytime soon.

I could be wrong though. Sega made new controllers for both the Genesis and Saturn (the 6-button genesis pad and the eerily dreamcast-like nIghts controller).

Would Sony provide a trade-in for old PSP's?
...Doubt it.

I feel like if they make the PSP smaller, I won'y be able to hold onto it.

I say that lighter isn't always better. I like things to be small and fairly light-weight, but not feather-light. If it gets too small, then you're just playing a piece of expensive paper. Compare this situation to the original sega genesis controller. The wire weighed more than the controller itself. I think that the PSP, right now, is just the right size; small enough to fit in your pocket, but still has enough meat on it to play it comfortably.

EDIT: Just looked at the above posts. Looks like most people agree!

Huh? Excuse me?
Where's my scratch-proof screen?
My higher-charge stock battery?
Improved LCD without ghosting?
And most importantly... my second analog stick?

Get back me on those and I'll give my wallet a call.

I wholeheartedly believe sony is making the changes to kind of insert things that should have been in there in the first place. (Why else was there already a 'Camera Image' and 'Game' folder on my psp when i got it?)

the 4gb is a no brainer. The psp is a powerful media device with an aquilles heel. The UMD. If they didnt invest so much into this format and how they were gonna push it from the start, they woulda been all over digital distribution for the psp from the 'get go'.It's Cheaper.

The camera is a bit more of a request i think. Didnt square make a online rpg for final fantasy 7 with the turks, but it was only for cel phones because it required a camera in order to use to create materia? I could be mistaken on this one, but i bet square would be anxious to put such a popular franchise on a more reachable handheld. But the camera is required for gameplay, which is one of the many reasons it never came out in the states (not to mention our phone companies are a$$ backwards). They moreso wanna put in the camera as a gimmick for gaming I think, some weak way to try to 'one up' the DS in gimmickdom.
Fools. You cant 'out gimmick' Nintendo.

Feedback?

Some of you are against lightening the psp. Personally, I believe that too much weight concentrated in too small of an object will often have destructive effects when the object (in this case, the psp) is dropped.

If Sony could simply redesign the psp so that it would not break when dropped from waist-level, and reshape it so that it stops slipping out of my sweaty hands, I will be pleased.

I'm tired of handling my psp like a baby.
