Same here. I only want the PSP for homebrew. Nothing less.

Now it's settled. First Lik-Sang. Now this. I HAAAAAAAAAAATE Sony!!!! We pay 300 bucks for a seemingly crap console and make it better, just for getting another, superior version less than two years later??

Sony: go to hell.

Can't say I disagree one bit with that post.

Geez... people seem to be taking a rumour too seriously...

If you ask me, releasing another handheld is stupid right now and probably wont happen for years.

first off, like stated before sony has already stated no psp2 in the works. second, they can not do touch screen with any application to games unless the make psp2 like PS2 and have a completely new CPU system. Which in that case sony can go sit on a fat one cuase i wont buy into that $#@!. especially only 2 years after release. Hopefully they can crack down on ISO loading. Although i love it for loading the games i own, wink, to make the batter last longer, it is very detrimental to the psp profits. As sony said way back yonder, " as with all our systems as long as they are still profitable we will produce software for the systems." Now if they did release a psp 2, depending on the size and functionality of it, i would only buy if there was a way to use homebrew. Although i am sure there are plenty of people who dont hack there psp to $#@! like i and many others do but come on lets face it, the portability of the psp with your favorite roms and ect are what make the damn thing worth $250 or in my case $300. Thanks for listening and sorry about spelling and grammar.

Personally, I think the PSP2 will not ultimately be the answer to the DS. Yes it may have a touch screen, but in actuality I think its totally in response to the iPhone.

There is, as of yet, no news on whether the PSP2 will be able to be a phone. But to be perfectly honest, if it is capable of both VoIP and Cellular, the iPhone hasn't got a prayer.

Remember, the iPhone is Apple's response to handheld consoles. Gaming on the iPhone will NOT be easy and thus the market it is trying to dominate, will not sway towards it.

However, if Sony made a PSP2 with iPhone capabilities for Email, Web, and Phone Service, and threw in the gaming abilities of the PSP and PS1 Emu, Apple would not have a chance.

The Touchscreen is essential because it allows users to have access to a full QWERTY keyboard and Numeric pad for calls as well as allows for fresh games (similar to some DS games).

Point is, if this is true, I think its intended competitor is wholly the iPhone. Nintendo dominates the market as it is, but Sony wants to eliminate anymore competition. Three's a crowd don't ya know.

Hmmm I think if Sony were playing a fighting game what they are doing now is button-mashing hoping that a new revamped 'revolutionary' product would make a hit.

psp2 is just a rumor. i HIGHLY doubt it is real since the psp is supposed to reach its potential this year. a new psp wold make that statement a lie. it would have to be like a psp lite or something like that. stop arguing about what the psp2 will be capable of because ITS NOT REAL.

My opinion/thoughts on the PSP2

apparently, we all want to know if it plays homebrew...and if their is one thing i know.... for every new console, there is a new hacker waiting to hack it

.... so i think it will eventually be hacked

2ndly, im suspecting that the "games load faster" part means that the 333mhz has been up'ed to somthing more, meaning a faster processing power ( most-likely this will be a better newer version of the psp :like ps1 to ps2: ......hopefully )....thats just my guess....

8 gig internal hard-drive sounds very good....esspecial to all of us that cant afford the 8 gig card that cost more than the console itself.

Touch screen- im not to thrilled with, but i could see some interesting things come out of it.... ( though i dont want me psp2 to be thought of as a ds rip off...... ) im still wondering how they would pull it off

Built in camera would make it like the mylo.....which is really cool, cause i always carry around my psp, and i see somthing wishing i had my camera...but dont have it......( dam )

Use of umds.......please, im sick and tired of them..... i find myself breaking the cases for the umds' and not being able to replace those cases....ussualy causing some error within the disk, or the disk being pressed to tightly causing the disk not able to read..... gets pretty annoying after awhile... why not move to a mini dvd type disk....WHY!!!

finnaly, i think that the PSP2 is worth looking at and possibly buying (as long as its not just a better-looking psp with a few added features...better have more power!!!! ) and if all goes well, and is hacked, i bieleve that we could see some interesting things happen...

ill get it as long as its not over $300....

i wonder though, if they are going to increase the flash....to somthing like 64 mb's....... would be sweet

anyway,

Thanks for Everything,
