PSP(Redeigned Version) To Be Shown At E3 '07!

[pichon]

Just give me cheap 8gb MS and I'll be fine, who needs a new/improved PSP? I have hundreds of retro games yet to play on current PSP that fit nicely in my current 4gb MS, and it'll surely be heavier, bigger and use more battery if it fits a 60gb HD.

I see myself playing with my PSP for years to come.

Yeah, Nintendo struck gold with the redesign of the DS and I don't think SONY would be doing anything wrong in making an upgraded PSP hardware version. I am pretty sure I'll want a "PSP2" but it will never likely be able to take the place of a fully homebrew capable "PSP1".

I also initially felt that the "PSP2" would be impossible to hack or run homebrew on but lets not forsake a scene before it even starts. We want talented coders, modders, etc, to take up the challenge when the PSP2 is released.

Put it this way, if someone told me that we'd be able to play GBA, PS1, SNES, MVS, CPS1 & CPS2, etc. etc. etc. when the PSP first came out I and others would not have believed it. Now look where we are.

I think I can give one solid bit of advice for EVERYONE who wants a PSP2. Save up to get one on launch day and DON'T UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE....

Even if it takes 6 months, or a year after its release, the homebrew potential on PSP2 w/ built in 60GB is almost limitless.

With that all said, I will probably never be able to put my current PSP down. There is so much it is capable of now to keep me busy for a decade at least. And this is not to mention all the great projects still in development.

So I hope that SONY/SanDisk still release that 32GB memory card ;-)

Hopefully the redisgn will be able to run homebrew in the future and have a larger flash memory.

redesign maybe:

- better d-pad
- built in camera/microphone and gps
- thinner?!


possible homebrew on that thing:
flash replacement or sth like that.. chip like U.P.


why redesign? to work on a PSP2 would be much cleverer... We need a second analog nub, man!

[IamAbe]

i hope it has more ram, and a faster cpu. that would be great

also, you all worry too much. this things getting hacked within a week. PSP has the strongest homebrew/hacking community since xbox, someone will definitely krak it, have faith.

[F9zDark]

I am definately buying one when it comes out. I hope it has another analog nub...

A hard drive will be awesome.

[acn010]

if its gonna be slimmer, of course ill buy one!!!!!!!!!

[Gene]

my only question is if it will be affordable...

if a pspR(redesigned) costs about $(USD)250-300 ,then it would be affordable...but if it would run around $(USD)400-600, then i think i'd just stick it to sony, and they can go to hell, with their overpriced redesign.

but anyway i hope it is a mutual gain, where both, the seller, and the consumer are satisfied.

if this won't have dual analog sticks, then it's not worth it to spend an extra 250-600 big ones.

I have to say I think the current PSP is pretty close to perfect. Most of the limitations are in the Software, not the hardware, and are entirely deliberate on the part of Sony. Make it smaller and you compromise the fantastic screen (and I still haven't seen anything like the PSP screen in the same price range). I still think it's one of the sexiest pieces of consumer kit I've ever seen.

Maybe that was Sony's big mistake. They should have made a pig ugly one first, then redesigned it into something svelte and sexy so everyone has to go out and buy a new one.

Perhaps they could lose the analogue nub entirely and instead have a module that plugs into the bottom to give dual analogue sticks ...

Oh, and USB host. I want my keyboard, gorramit!

i thought E3 had been closed, and there will be no E3 '07?

i think its waay too early to be showing a PSP2 (of sorts) especially when they have just had a boom from the PS3
