Dreaming of the V2 PSP

Posted Apr 11, 2006 at 12:09PM EST by QJ Staff

PSPIt's way past April Fools but everybody seems to want to fool (haha) everyone with their own “news” and “versions” of the PSP2. Almost every PSP gamer is interested in this subject – even though they know it must be a hoax. Frankly, I'm interested in seeing pranksters' versions of this supposed Version 2 PSP. Why not? It wouldn't hurt anyone, right?


Alright, here's one person's idea of what the V2 PSP might look like.


Called the Psi (interactive), it's only 4.5 inches long but it's got a 3-inch LCD screen with 16 million colors. It has the same pixel resolution as the original PSP so games would not have to be reformatted for this next-gen console. This would support WiFi, EVDO, UMTS and WiMax, meaning it could be used for music and video downloads, peer-to-peer gaming and wireless photo sharing. The best thing perhaps about this Psi is the touch screen that will provide users with a virtual keyboard.


Okay, you can now stop drooling. This isn't real; it's just one of those really, really, really great ideas for the V2 PSP. Too bad this isn't real. Not real. Not real. I have to remember that. Not real. But this V2 would have been great if it were real. (Sony, are you listening?)

SONY always makes the same things as NINTENDO. Even games like BRAIN AGE, the PSP will be getting one too!

i don't think you understand, it wasn't a sony press release or anything - it was a mock up by someone with too much time, so for now your precious 'nintedo idea', of a touch screen, is safe.



seriously though, isn't it quite possible that sony might update/replace psp?



i think they need to consider that umd is most likely going down the tubes, and given that sony bought all those NAND flash bits and bobs it appears that maybe digital distribution and onboard hdds are going to be a killer combination.

so they may not be limited to having a mechanical disk drive, lets face it, it consumes a lot of power.



so i guess they'd want to put a cell processor (yeah right) in the next psp, give it a large onbaord flash chip, didn't samsung release a 32gig flash card the other week? i think psp could do with mobile phone capabilities, sony-ericsson do make phones, couldn't they somehow use some of that know how?



but given sony's investment in psp, umd, ps3 and bluray right now i wouldn't expect that much of a risky gambit like another new console any time soon

One of my friend from SONY said that the next PSP 2 will be thinner than the old one



hopefully we can see its prototype some day



Sony cant expect any failure on the next PSP , everything gonna be absolutely good



tough screen is just one of Sony tactics vs @ Orgami @ DS

This is so annoying, this is the second time I've seen the same story posted twice. Also, with that PSP box on eBay junk, that was happening right at the launch! PSP websites were talking about it then, I don't know why this is considered news now. It also happened with the x360.

Why does everyone seem to want smaller PSPs? Any smaller, and text becomes hard to read! Sure, it fits in your pocket, but what's the point? Keeping the same resolution as today's PSPs only makes matters worse.



I like the size the way it is; haven't had a pocket yet that didn't fit the PSP and whatever the hell else I wanted to put in it. Changes I'd like are flash-based games (instead of UMD) like NDS, a touchscreen (for OSK), and a linux live-cd game that I can boot when I want an ssh terminal.

Lol, actually the CD game idea was nintendo's first, as a addon to the SNES, but when the deal fell through sony took what they had and modded it to be a standalone system, thus the Playstation was born.



Also, has anyone ever heard of a freaking Palm?



The Touch screen is old technology

No, the deal fell through because Nintendo did not want to give Sony its fair share, so Sony made its own Playstation, which promptly kicked Nintendo's butt, although I am sure that Nintendo DS fanboys reading the PSP BLOG will say otherwise.



Nintendo single-handedly created its worst enemy. Period.
