Is he the founder of Shiny Entertainment (Earthworm Jim!!!)??? YEAH!!! He has good points, but I would not like to see a PSP anytime soon. Perhaps on 2010 or something.

What the f**k we will use,cartridges?.For the sake of all thats good in humanity that the most stupid idea,say good bye to all the good psp games and welcome ubber crappola downgraded versions with worst music,graphics and gameplay.
E-Distribution...well it could work if the games now cost 20$ and they can be downloaded by anyone everywhere.lets say all the world i can agree while you can use prepaid cards.

» What is the problem??????
Well, Sony might be thinking to make a next-gen PSP but with the recent thing with exploding batteries putted Sony in a corner.
They lost a HUGE part of there profit and that may be the problem for developping a next-gen PSP.
I also thing it's a bit too early to start devlopping a new PSP.
The best time for developping a new PSP might be begin 2008 and the release in spring 2009.
The thing now is the Sony has no money left for investigating and developping new PlayStation devices.
I do not agree with David Perry by removing the UMD.

» no umds
Yeah, getting rid of the umds would be great. Games and movies should have been sold on memorysticks itself. Small, cheap, low power consumption, faster access. Of course, security measures would then have to be put in place so that they only work on one psp or something. Or maybe have encrypted/hidden files that cannot be copied. Thinking about that, games and vids could be sent over the air or puchased online and downloaded. (not for dial up users tho)

» Keep the UMDs
I love the UMDs. They hold 1.8gb of space, which means that Sony would need to send games out on 2gb memory sticks. I don't feel like paying $60-$100 per game on a memory stick when I game play it fine on UMD.
Revamping what kind of media the PSP uses is out of the question though, at least until the PSP II comes out. There's not need to change anything on the PSP though, and a shellcase is retarded, because you can already by face shields and use covers to protect the psp. I say leave it how it is ;)

He's dreaming.
I don't think that the screen needs to be DVD resolution to succeed. This would only increase the price of the system.
Killing off the UMD would be an interesting move, but I doubt that Sony would do it. If Sony was smart, they would include a faster reading UMD drive in the next PSP.
User created content on YouTube? Ha. Most of it is illegal content. Terrible analogy. In any case, opening the system to the public is not necessary to succeed. Look at Nintendo, and their countless iterations of the Gameboy.
Sony doesn't want a handheld Net Yarouze. They want to sell games and make a profit. If they want to sell games, all they have to do it make good games; nothing more, nothing less.

» maybe a little more...
Making good games is surely the right thing to do, but on the 'a bit more' side, they could also produce some nice accessories. For example, I was always hoping they would release an inline remote that has a little screen or radio or something similar. They are going to release the camera, which isn't bad, but I dont think the gps will do to well.

» Removing UMDs
Why not to remove UMD drive and distribute games on DVDs (which should be much cheaper) and every user will transfer games to the psp flash or memory stick (and protect with some sn/device ids).
Resolution more than VGA? Even some PDAs still have QVGA. If Sony puts there strong enough battery...

Because you're an idiot that's why...
You realize if they did that, there would most probably be some sort of "protection" to it so people don't just upload the games and let others download for free....
Also..............transfer to the PSP's Flash Memory? Are you high or something? Do you KNOW how much memory the PSP's flash has? The best you may do is add a demo to it......and it'll use it all up......

» My thoughts...
- A PSP with a clamshell design would be just plain ugly, and there are many accessories already available to protect it.
- DVD resolution would require much more power than the PSP currently has... even the PS2 only runs most games at 640x480; besides, what's the point ? Movies are looking great with the current resolution, even though we could use some anti-aliasing for games.
- killing the UMD is a bad idea as well IMO, you cannot offer games as presents anymore, you cannot buy used games, resell them when you don't like them, etc.
- Game demos are already available, although it's true that there isn't too many of them.
- Homebrewns are certainly not in Sony's best interest as they make money off games, not hardware...
In short, sounds like a good batch of stupid ideas, along with some free advertising for David... a bit lame IMHO... :(

Well i too dissagree with the removal of umd... Doing so would screw all of the current owners of psp's sony's playstation line has had its sucess in part to the backwards compatiblity from the first playstation to the 3rd... PSP 2 must be able to play psp1 games. THAT IS ALL....
also it woudl help raise the popularity of the umd if they opened the standard up a little bit and put out recording hardware and blank discs. That way we could make music discs movie discs i know it might help piracy a bit but they need to learn from the mistakes they made with Betamax and Minidiscs

» My opinion
Dual analogue would be sweet but they need a screw hole in the middle like the CDI pad in the 90s so you can screw a mini stick in - the current analogue kills your thumb after a few minutes.
Clam? Sounds like someone was careless and didnt put it back in its case.
If I wasnt an owner already, being able to download demos wouldnt make me want to get one. As for downloadable stuff in general, why would I use a PSP with no keyboard - download stuff on your PC then copy it to the memory stick - its the best method.
No UMD = smaller? How exactly? Thinner maybe by all of 3mm, but you'd then need a thin battery. Surely he isn't suggesting decreasing the screen size?!?!
What alternative is there other than UMD? Memory is still too expensive to distribute games on - £30 for a 2gb, thats £5 more than your average psp game. If you then up the res, games will require more than a 2gb stick.

- Sony won't open up the platform, we can ***** and whine all we want, they don't want homebrew on their closed DRM-ridden platform. They have the right to do that, and we have the right to enjoy what we can get. (1.5 to 2.71 atm)

yet you say that games are at 1 to 1.5 gig?
yeah, that's with all the padding that Sony put in to fill them up, a normal uncompressed ISO is about 1.5 gig, yet a compressed ISO into a CSO can range anywhere from 150meg to 900meg
it all boils down to how big your memory card is
there is nothing stopping sony making a PSP2 and shipping it with a 8gig memory card OR adding a 8gig memory chip inside the psp2 with the option to add more via memory stick duo
yet still keeping the UMD for those with out a Internet connection to download games

If you think being rich or poor relies on anything more than where you are born, you need to go live in a third world country, start a sucessful buisness and give a much needed boost to their economy.
Otherwise STFU and stop acting like you know what you're talking about. You obviously suck at life and that's why you're posting crap like that on here.

» Clambshell?
There are some decent working clamshell protecting devices out already. I've got a Score one (see http://reviews.cnet.com/Score_PSP_Face_Armor_Pro/4505-10110_7-32012470.html) that does wonders and doesn't look bad - it's clear plastic, doesn't get in the way of the USB mini-B port, and lays flush with the back of the PSP when it's open. Just pops in with the screw ports.
I think it would be a good idea to include as part of the sale-packs, particularly since many don't even include a case, and this would remain simple without outgrowing most pockets.
I'd like to see Sony open the PSP. They've already done so for the PS3, and it hasn't hurt them economically. Prevent files over, say, 0.5 GB from being loaded and it'll at least make ISO files tedious without getting in the way of legitimate homebrewers.
Digital distribution as the sole method is a bit meh for me. Binding each file by MAC address on download and encrypting the file to hell and back should prevent it from being abused anytime soon, and getting rid of the middle-man is always a good thing... but then you lose the shelf factor, which is an important way to sell games, and it'll get way in the way of. It'd be great as an alternative, but not as the only method.
I'd rather avoid a mini-hard drive on the PSP, as well, so unless flash media prices drop like a rock soon,
On the other hand, learning from the incredible supertechnology of the 1980s and putting a freaking sliding floppy disk door on the UMD's read port would be a nice change, particularly for those of us who don't want to put the stupid things in a second layer of plastic just to avoid scratches on a 1cm^2 opening.

» In the Future!
Well, outside of impressive leaps in technology, we're still looking at a 2 GB flash stick being ~10-15 USD in five years, which doesn't leave much for profit. In all honesty, we might as well just try shrinking down the UMD media rather than replacing it (increasing data density and removing blank areas from the design).
I don't think replacing the UMD is going to be valid while still getting the PSP's abilities around. The Memory Stick Duo format is just too expensive, and so are most other forms of flash memory.
That's not to say I wouldn't like, for example, the ability to move protected media from the disc to the memory stick duo (no doubt with some very cautious anti-piracy methodology), but there's just not enough capacity in cartridge formats right now for the longer, more detailed games that are being released.

That's not to say I wouldn't like, for example, the ability to move protected media from the disc to the memory stick duo (no doubt with some very cautious anti-piracy methodology), but there's just not enough capacity in cartridge formats right now for the longer, more detailed games that are being released.

» Hmm, why is our Logo on this?
I think the UMD could be saved if they make a writer for people to make there own content. But sony will never do that. Oh any why is our logo on this? It's fine with me, just odd.

» PSP 2.0
"Did user-created content hurt YouTube? Why not open the PSP?"
^ That part is just dumb. Youtube doesn't make consoles or anything that rely on software sales for profit. It would make sense if Youtube was a movie studio or retailer.. What a lame comparison.
Anyway, if Sony redesigns the PSP, the most important things it should have are-
1. 2nd thumbstick
2. Touch-screen (go **** yourself if you don't like it)
3. Scrap the UMD, provide games in memory-sticks or digitally distributed.
4. 8GB built-in hard-drive.
5. Longer battery life as standard.
6. Locate better speakers at the top where my hands won't block them.
7. I don't really care about dual-screen or clamshell design, though a thin flip cover to protect the screen would be useful.

It will be cool that way but with a keyboard

» impractical.
These suggestions are a little ridiculous.
There's already a bit of self-contradiction when he requests a larger screen (I know, more pixels doesn't necessarily mean larger screen, but it usually does) but wants the device size down. the PSP is already thin, and that's the only size factor that the removal of the UMD is going to help. Plus, the screen will be much larger and bulkier, and cut down on the already short battery life.
Digital distribution is a good idea, but not everyone in the world can embrace it. There are many people in the U.S. that still don't have broadband internet, and downloading a 400MB file on 56k is a little irritating if not impossible.
The only suggestion I can say I really like is the opening of the device, of course :).
