I hope they use high capacity UMDs so there's double the memory, that way they'll have more room to do whatever they want with, as well as the original PSP titles being backwards compatible.

They could try double sided UMD's

Or maybe 3 generations of the PSP is enough for sony.

Make the storage medium quality. Not some cheap flimsy plastic casing that breaks like our current UMD.

That forces us to use ISOs.

This wins the no news, news award for the day. Like sony would say anything, especially so soon after PSP3000. Probably see this next holiday season. Would like to see them go digital distribution, but they would do something stupid to F that up. Maybe a combination of digital and UMD, decompress the media files into what is essentially a saved game slot and run the app off the UMD (loading media from memory). Where was that article that sated how us gamers could do better than most designers at their own job?

Hey, new technology is a good thing. As for 'nay sayers' poo-ing the hackability of the medium, just give it time.



Once the warranty has expired folks will be looking forward to opening up a PSP2 like the door of an unlocked Corvette.



The only negative inclination I can offer would be the demise of any older peripherals that Sony will opt for new. I.e., adapting micro sd cards as apposed to the MS pro duo or flat out another memory format all together.



Otherwise, with the way greed has played into the markets, I don't see a huge rush to baste a new medium with undiluted cash flow for research and development.



They'll nickle and dime us to death and change the format of some file extensions, but other than that they'll add some bells and whistles that weren't there before.
