Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3

IMG_0001_1WTMK_02

This E3 is shaping up to be the best ever, not only is the new DS making it's debut but according to gaming trade site MCV, Sony plans to unveil the PSP 2 at this year's E3. Trade site MCV reports:

We already have a fair idea what to expect at next month's E3 – plenty of into about Move, Natal and the 3DS (and Vitality Sensor) for instance – but Sony could perhaps be saving the biggest surprise of all.

MCV has been informed of a significant increase in marketing spend at two key publishers for Q4 2010. At a time when the PSP is languishing in Western markets – and its most recent iteration, the PSPgo, is falling flat – it is being speculated that publishers are laying the ground for an offensive on a brand new iteration of Sony's handheld.

Another publisher has also told MCV that it is waiting on a specific announcement from the platform holder before it can reveal of its future PSP plans until, though it did allude to the ongoing development of several unnamed titles behind closed doors.

This year has seen a wealth of riches for Sony fans, starting with an incredible game line-up and continuing with it's new motion-sensing controller and announcement of 3D gaming. Will the PSP2 live up to the hype? Will it even show up at E3? Who knows! Rumors are rumors...

Releasing a new PSP might be a necessity for Sony at this point. The longer Sony waits to drum up publicity for it's new handheld, the longer Nintendo's new DS will have the spotlight. They also might want to hurry up and release the PSP 2 so everyone can forget about the PSPgo..

For some reason, I see the PSPgo popping up on a lot of "worst portable gaming consoles ever" lists. I don't think I'm alone on this one.

with 4 to 8 times more power,
this would be how many wii put together.

The wii can only do 480P and it only has 88 MB ram. A PSP with 64 MB of ram times that by 4 to 8 times you would be looking at something with as much ram as a PS3.
You want them to update everything but still use original cables.
USB 3.0 is only good if you have a 3.0 USB computer. And if games are going to be a MINIMUM of 720P, that would be alot of data to put on a small disc.

# RE: Reply to Techni — Guest 2010-05-15 11:33

I'll correct you on that, USB 3.0 is only good if you have a motherboard that supports usb 3.0
Sorry, I just had to

# not really — Guest 2010-05-17 03:23

you could always use a pci card that provides usb 3.0 ports

# RE: not really — MangoScango 2010-05-19 19:50

because we all have those

# - — aperson2 2010-05-13 14:45

First of all you're wrong with the display. What you're suggesting is double the PSP's resolution in such a tiny display, which isn't happening.

# RE: RE: Hopefully — Vman00 2010-05-13 15:19

There is a lot of things here that are not needed or is just asking too much. On top of what had came with the PSP GO!, just a few simple things that ought to be added.

-complete button set as sixaxis (remember that mob that used Remote Play to play MW2?)
- Wifi N (this should have been added to the PS3 also)
-Robust software (Do what Apple did and take ideas that started as homebrew)

But hey, more ideas should be added here anyway. What does something else want the PSP2 to come with?

# Features — jmak0 2010-05-16 08:29

Some nice ideas Techni, but I think UMD or a higher density version would be obsolete - it's cheaper to distribute games on flash based media now - a 4GB card is about £6 opposed to using new disc technology, and flash uses less battery power and is faster.

I feel 3D stuff is a possibility, but I personally am not interested in it, I think Sony will probably do it because Nintendo has. Knowing Sony, they will want to give the home cinema experience on PSP2 - screen resolution will therefore be 720 or 1080p for 3D movies, and refresh rate will be 200Hz. An alternative would be glasses instead of a screen.

You're right about internet connectivity. It needs to be able to run youtube flawlessly and use the newest wifi standard. True online gaming needs to come to handhelds. I think it should be able to do remote play for PS3 games, and perhaps introduce PS2 games on the playstation store. A touch screen would be ideal for browsing the internet and google maps. More peripheral support for mice, keyboards, PS3 controllers, headsets and printers would be good.

I think it's the right time for a new PSP market-wise, but technology-wise it's too soon, and I'd prefer a cell processor based console for PS3-type games.

# RE: RE: Hopefully — Guest 2010-05-19 02:23

Your right about bluray.
I've contimplated bluray UMD's for 4 years now.

It would work but SONY will inevitably kill it due to keeping the format locked down.

Would be sweet to have a bluray UMD RW drive on PC's and Notebooks.

My ps2 HAS wireless controllers, with tilt, and a wireless lightgun.

Try again gi joe.

# how'bout... — Guest 2010-05-16 10:07

"i will stay with my ps2 unless ps3 has GTA4". and if you don't like GTA4 then insert any other game that goes for ps3, but not for ps2.

point is: psp2 WILL BE better than psp when it comes to hardware specs, with or without touchscreen or dual analogs. and while i see how a touchscreen would be usefull, i reelly don't need the left analog stick. and there's a risk with the toughscreen that many game devs will abuse it when porting iphone games to psp. because it will happen, in the rush for quick money.

why on earth would you need dual analogue sticks AND a touch screen

what would be the point you only have two thumbs

# RE: RE: RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — But Fukir 2010-05-13 08:11

More than one game?

# RE: RE: RE: RE: — Guest 2010-05-17 15:30

the reason why psp would have 2 thumbsticks and a touch screen is to emulate the r3 and l3 since the analogesticks on the psp have to be small

and a touchscreen could be useful for games like gta chinatown wars to do all kinds of little things like hijack a car

# Yeah — UltimaXX 2010-05-18 11:40

Well if it DOES have a touchscreen, here's hoping it's like the iPhone's. Styluses work great and all, but they're SO annoying.

# RE: RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — jack_gllghr 2010-05-15 18:38

Well Sony would be out of their minds to not include a second analogue stick/nub.

Just take one look at console gaming, FPS is the dominant genre in terms of sales, it's biggest rival being sports games. Now look at the PSP's current shooter set-up, it just doesn't work ideally, which all could be remedied easily with the inclusion of a second nub.

So take it as a definite truth that there'll be a second nub. If not I've lost all faith in Sony, if they make such a stupid mistake, it confuses me why it wasn't even on the original PSP

# Hmm — Guest 2010-05-13 03:31

It'll have to be one heck of a system to get me to bite on a new handheld. The ability to run homebrew would be a huge plus, as would including quality transcoder software for my computer to put movies on or just netflix functionality. If they decide to go all digital with the games like I would expect for every device following the Go and in the same era as the iPod and such devices, they need to make them more affordable as well. There is no way I'll pay the same or even close to the same amount for a handheld game as I would for a game for my PS3. If they however offered something awesome like 1 free download from PSN per month, I would be willing to pay much more, essentially pre-paying for digital games.

# RE: Hmm — But Fukir 2010-05-13 22:59

I never even thought of that!

Netflix streaming would fucking rule!

+2 # That sounds cool — Guest 2010-05-13 04:22

It is good,but to make it a big deal they should bring back the ability to run UMD'S and the ability to download games from PSN.That would be perfect.Also a bigger screen with better graphics and dual analog sticks would be a sucess

-3 # RE: That sounds cool — But Fukir 2010-05-13 08:16

Barf!!

Lol @ you thinking that UMD's were EVER a good idea!!

If I can get a chinese 8 gig mem card on ebay for 20 bucks then they should be able to stick games on solid storage media for 50 bucks IMO.

+2 # ... — Techni 2010-05-13 11:13

UMD was the best thing to ever happen to portable gaming. We went from 32 MB games to 1.8 GB. You're an idiot if you think PSP2 will be anything like the failure that is PSP go.

+2 # RE: ... — Vman00 2010-05-13 15:25

I like the convenience of not having to switch out an UMD to play another game. And plus, memory sticks are faster at loading

# RE: ... — But Fukir 2010-05-13 15:30

Yeah, spinning a disk must be the best thing to happen to load times and battery life ever.

You've got a good point there wonderboy.

# RE: RE: ... — Luciddreamin92 2010-05-13 19:32

and not being able to sell/trade/ digital games u got bored of was the best economic thing right?

# RE: RE: RE: ... — Guest 2010-05-13 20:21

thats why theres cfw

# RE: RE: RE: ... — But Fukir 2010-05-13 22:36

No, no, no.

I'm not even referring to digital DL's.

I'm saying the price of solid storage is reasonable enough now to sell games on manufactured mem cards like a cartridge.

Which would save plenty of battery life that would be used to power a laser and spin a disk.

Save plenty of time loading from a disks.

Save plenty of heartache from dead drives and scratched disks.

Save a lot of monetary overhead from shipping disks instead of a sliver of a mem card.

Save a lot of storage space for the customer who has to store their collection or carry a few games with them.

Etc, etc, etc.

I just dont see how umd is a better idea then solid storage in any way.
Especially now that the price is reasonable.

Well, other then I'll bet stamped disks a bit cheaper to manufacture.

But games always cost the same anyway, for instance digital DL's, so your not getting a better bargain from cheap media.

# how'bout... — Guest 2010-05-16 10:15

i opt out of digital downloads, but flash support is indeed better than disc. not only because is smaller form factor, but developers can choose the size of the flash, so a small game that doesn't need 4gb can simply be placed on a 1gb, so the prince is lower on this side, too. other than this reason and the ones suggested before regarding performance, i stick to "physical" support because it comes bundled with other goodies that i'm fond for, like game map, a manual, and such... you can't get these on a digital download.

# True — UltimaXX 2010-05-18 11:42

But dude, just think back to when the PSP originally came out. 1GB memory stick duos costed like £100, whilst UMDs were being manufactured for like, nothing. We could settle for cartridge based games now, I agree, but Sony could just as easily use higher density optical media to expand the game size limit to about 10GB, which also makes quite a bit of sense.

# 10gb?! — Guest 2010-05-18 20:55

i don't see a handheld game reaching the 10Gb limit, a 4Gb would be enough for a game scoping San Andreas (that's my dirty little wet dream, San Andreas in my pocket, no matter the story, original or new one). only an mgs game would get to 10Gb or more, but whatever exceedes 4Gb would be raw video cutscenes. and that's exagerated.
4Gb is large enough for a well made videogame, even if you port a pc version to handheld.

# RE: RE: RE: ... — Guest 2010-05-18 14:57

If it has enough processing power to emulate PS2 games, I'm getting the sucker, hands down.

I doubt that it'll be unable to do that, considering how the original PS2's specs are now easily made portable.

hell, it doesn't have to be emulated, if Sony puts out something similar to the poploader, I'll happy buy that crap.

Ohhoho, is Microsoft garbage?
First of all, the PS3 isn't overpriced.
2. Microsoft is a rich, very respected company, whom have a history of making good gaming consoles, and good OS's (except Windows Vista which sucked monkey balls).
3. And the PS3 isn't useless, the definition of useless is "Something that is of no use, whatsoever.
Get your facts straight or GTFO.

# blue-ray — Guest 2010-05-16 10:22

ps3 can't be useless with it's raw power and, best of all, the blue-ray disc unit. i think that's one of the most important aspects to consider when choosing between ps3 and xbox360. and i don't mean the latter is not "as good", but it just doesn't have the blue-ray, wich is a huuuge let down for a "next-gen console". xbox360 is between ps2 and ps3 in terms of "generation". like "generation 2.5".

+1 # RE: RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — But Fukir 2010-05-13 08:22

The problem with more processing power is battery life.

A net book still only gets a few hours at best after all these years.

Theres another reason besides big oil lobbying that nobody has built a viable electric car yet.

The PSP has plenty enough power in relation to its battery life.

The psp2 is only an effort to force repurchasing.

+1 # no — Guest 2010-05-13 08:56

Asus netbooks are pushing the 13 hour mark for battery life. The n450's consume very little. Also, my psp2000 only has a 1200mah battery. They could easily make it a little thicker and cram a 2100mah + in there. Hell they make 3500mah batteries for smart phones. If they do it right and don't cheap out on stock batteries then I think it can be done.

# RE: no — But Fukir 2010-05-13 15:43

13?

Thats pretty good.
That would be plenty.

I can only Imagine that this was tested in a lab under prime conditions with an after market 9 cell ($80) though.

My acer was advertised as lasting between 4-5 when I bought it, but hell if it lasts more than an hour just with the screen and wifi on.

I agree that sony probably has the capability to achieve some sort of acceptable mix of more power and battery life, I'm just not sure how its really necessary right now.

PSP games are already pretty good looking when a talented developer takes advantage of it.

# RE: RE: no — Khav 2010-05-14 07:53

I know people with netbooks that genuinely achieve 5+ hour battery life with wifi turned on and full brightness, more if they turn down the settings.

# RE: RE: RE: no — But Fukir 2010-05-14 11:15

Yeah I've heard they're a lot better than full laptops for battery life.

I have every intention on getting a netbook next. My acer is a 14 inch that I got before netbooks became so popular.

An darned if 3 or 4 netbooks models get released about 6 months after I bought it.

# battery size — Guest 2010-05-16 10:31

let's not forget the size of a netbook battery.
handhels devices can't really get to that. a mobile phone with a 3.7v 1800mah goes a 10h in conversation, but in a conversation there's no backlight, and the processing is done on voice and transmission/reception. that for an example. because if played all day long, it drains the battery in about 5-6 h. and that on a 600mhz processor.
the advantage of a gaming console, however, is that the hardware is more speciffic that on a phone or a computing device (note that a gaming console is not a general computing device, though it can be pushed in that direction), so it can be better optimised in terms of energy consumption. however, it still won't last more that 6 hours, or 7 with a dimmed display and no wifi.

# Definitely — UltimaXX 2010-05-18 11:45

And if Sony replace the UMD drive with a small cartridge slot, that's plenty of room right there for an internal battery.

# ... — Souljaboy56 2010-05-18 22:54

ive gotten 15 hours running windows parallel with OS X on my MacBook Pro. 4GHz Processor, 8GB of RAM.

on an iPad i was borrowing, i managed to get 12 Hours of battery life.

And on an Asus netbook i had .. just like the one mentioned down there, i managed about 13 hours.

# App Store? — KnightOrc 2010-05-13 06:38

# no way blue-ray!!! — Guest 2010-05-16 10:36

flash support is the way to go! though is easier to pirate

with flash developpers can choose the size of it, so a game under 1gb would come on a 1gb support, instead of a 4gb support. and we know 1gb is cheaper that 4gb. so there you have it: another way to cut the price.

# RE: no way blue-ray!!! — MangoScango 2010-05-17 06:45

Flash memory is way more expensive then discs.

# hmm... — Guest 2010-05-18 21:00

you might be right... but i imagine that the price they pay for a flash is not the same with what we pay, since the customer usually buy a piece or a few, but the game producer buy thousands, oh more, so they get "special offers"... i guess

PS2 emulation like popsloader will be great but someone have to figure out to make it work with all PS2 games lik DAX

First they will release GoW original for PSP2 with this plugin then some hacker figure out that and we could get what we want and PSP2 sells would rise very much :)

and of course games to deserve to be bought :)

+1 # PSP Memory Stick — Guest 2010-05-13 08:27

I would also like a program like VLC on the PSP. Everyone wants PS2 Games, but what about the amount of space they will take up. If they found a way to make a UMD that holds 8500 MBs that would solve the problem. But if PS2 games weren't for download because of size, you would have to Re-buy all of them in psp format.

+1 # PSP Go and PS2 — Guest 2010-05-13 08:13

The thing about PS2 emulation is that the architecture is very complex.
May the PS2 have only a 300 MHZ EE Processor, it is very difficult to simulate. Have you seen the specs needed to emulate PS2 on a PC. They are crazy high.

Also I HATED the go when it came out,
but I got a Really good deal on a brand new. I love the go, the screen is the BEST on any psp. I have owned multiple 1000's, couple of 2000's, and now the go.

+1 # RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — leo9891 2010-05-13 08:23

The PSP2 needs Dual Analog Nubs, Maybe some sort of Sixaxis Technology, and It should have the ability to play PS3 games via Remote Play that do not require ALL of the Shoulder Buttons. For instance, Pixel Junk Racers or TMNT: Time Re-Shelled.

The PSP2 should also have a friends list, no more games that have their own internal friends list like SOCOM.

Hmmmmmm maybe a rumble feature as well? IDK

GFX can be a little better, if they are still the same I wouldn't mind cause the GFX are not that bad as people claim it to be.

The ability to use the same/your current PSN ID on the PSP2. Also we should be able to sign onto both the PS3 PSN ID and the PSP2 PSN ID simultaneously. IDK what the reason for that would be, but it would be cool.

IDK what else to think of.... 16GB HDD?

# RE: RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — Guest 2010-05-13 08:37

@ Rumble
*plays PSP while walking down road*
*rumble rumble*
*PSP falls out of hands*
FUUUUUUUUUUUU

Also due to the lag associated with Remote Play even over a local network connection, action games seem to be a no-go
PSP needs Trophy support and a shared friends list with your PSN

PS2 emulator would make it sell like hotcakes

16GB HDD is a no, 16GB onboard flash storage yes.

# RE: RE: RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — MangoScango 2010-05-13 15:28

If sony upgrades the wifi card in the psp, remote play would work a lot better. The psp only picks up b. N would be nice, but I think g would suffice.

How it should be.

1. better CPU/GPU (at best a little better looking then PS2

2. Dual analog

3. pro Duo slot for GAMES.. yes they could make pro duo sticks or SDHC etc etc that's not re-right-able and place games on them, That will same space and battery life.

4. Support All Media formats, For that they could have another Pro duo slot-2" or removable built in HDD

5. NO touch screen, Why does everyone want such crap? touch screen is only good for playing Shovelware games.

6. Wifi(duh) maybe blue-tooth and maybe even 3G,4G lol i mean it is a hand-held device, You want Net on it anywhere you go =)

7. update-able FLASH AND JAVA... i mean come on people..

8. connections, TV,Mic,headset etc etc, Some of us like playing the PSP on the TV from time to time, Give us that option.

9. firmware updates that are GOOD? Not ones that just take shit away =)

If all of that is on the New PSP2 i'll pre-order one.

"...and the games should be free, and they should pay me to play them, and they should include a pony, and the pony should have a unicorn horn, and..."

-1 # actually — Guest 2010-05-14 17:20

That list sounds pretty reasonable. You're kinda overreacting. All those things hit the original PSP's problems right on the nail.

+2 # PSP2 — Guest 2010-05-13 12:31

Ok here are the specs for the PSP2: quadruple analog slicks, duel touch screens that fold into an origami figure, a 10 mega pixel camera, sliding keyboard, mega blu ray discs mini, USB 4.3, backwards computable with all systems, amp store for homebrew. And it transforms into a car. Seriously people we’ll have to wait and see.

Lol.

And guess what one of the launch titles would be?
Why..........Gran Turismo Portable 2

The same sh*t as usual, then 5 years later, its released, as a pile of crap.

-2 # - — aperson2 2010-05-13 14:45

I should bloody well hope so too. It's been in a presentable state for almost half a year.

# - — aperson2 2010-05-13 14:52

But lets say that I haven't worked on a dev kit version (just as an artist mind you), I'd like to see;

- Dual analogue sticks, and better than the analogue nub we have now.
- Slightly higher resolution, just reducing the dot pitch more than anything. Same size display.
- Not OLED. It's horrible for handheld products (great on my studio monitor though).
- Faster CPU/GPU, doy.
- 8gb internal memory for the lowest model, 64gb for the most.
- Memory Stick Pro Duo
- UMD. Since 99% of PSP games didn't hit the UMD limit. If 2 discs need to be used make sure we install them first. With DRM.
- 802.11N and Bluetooth.
- PS3 interface, just scaled down. Accounts, trophies.

That's what I'd want.

-1 # RE: - — Khav 2010-05-14 08:05

Quoting aperson2:

Not OLED. It's horrible for handheld products (great on my studio monitor though).

My zune hd begs to differ. You're kind of right, you can barely see the display outside on a sunny day, but inside, or on the bus, it's the most beautiful display on any device I've ever seen.

-1 # 3g connection :D — Guest 2010-05-13 16:22

it would be nice to see a PSP2

if it comes with 3g connection and a fair priced service i'll buy it, of that way you could play online anywhere, besides of having internet and all that anywhere

# RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — Guest 2010-05-13 17:09

That would be cool, but the psp could have a greater variety of quality games like Medal Honor Heroes 1 & 2 and God of War. The quantity and the quailty is lacking.

-2 # lets see — CrisisCore-X- 2010-05-13 19:20

Im sorta excited since the psp go was a failure. Not all the way but the go didnt draw my attention at all it had the same specs as the psp 2000/3000. this is my opinion of the psp 2 (please dont flame me guys)
.touch screen and built in tilt effect (like the ipod or like the tilt fx they recently released for the psp)they will be able to make alot of fun psp minis with this addon. if you have an ipod you would know what i mean ex. doodle jump.
.stronger cpu and atleaste slightly more ram (im not a hardware geek but im sure this will help us homebrew users lol

)
.BUILT IN CAMERA!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!lol i would love to have a built in cam.
.Dual nubs i guess, but im not to crazy about dual nubs
.A layout sort of like the go since the go was really good with conserving space.
.built in flash player and a faster internet
.Better res. but im not too worried about that one since im no bothered by the current one.
.SONY BRING BACK UMD'S AND REPLACABLE BATTERY!!!!!!!
lol i know i wrote too much xD
but lets just see what sony has in mind

P.S. better games (i know off topic but still)

-1 # RE: lets see — But Fukir 2010-05-13 21:56

Tilt would definitely lend itself to some clever and fun minis.

-1 # RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — Luciddreamin92 2010-05-13 19:28

What i want to see is of course 2 Analog sticks, hardrive memory, usb capabilities, longer games, motion sensitivity, and better graphics.

i dont really much care for touch screen as it will attract my fingers to the screen

-2 # internet browser! — scarecr0w 2010-05-13 22:09

it would be great if they also fix the internet browser like u can watch youtube videos megavideo myspace and veoh! so i can watch anime with out downloading them first.... damn time to start saving money

-1 # RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — Guest 2010-05-13 23:57

Homebrew enabled, yeah right. They just removed OtherOS from the PS3 and aren't going to go down that road again.

# RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — truk 2010-05-14 00:07

$10 says it's going to be everything you all ask for but you'll say it's too expensive and won't buy it.

-1 # WOW — Guest 2010-05-14 00:14

Wow are you guys serious? There will be NO PSP 2. The device that is probably coming out this E3 is the PSP Phone. Unfortunately you guys haven't been keeping up with some updates. They are partnering up with Sony Ericsson to make the PSP phone but Sony isn't letting Sony Ericsson take the PS logo though.

-1 # RE: WOW — But Fukir 2010-05-14 11:23

I seem to recall reading something about that a few months back.

Asinine idea to say the least.

Looks like sony just wont learn a lesson from the pspgo.

Maybe thats why they're forecasting diminished sales for psp's,
they're trying everything they can think of to kill it!

-1 # psp 2 — Guest 2010-05-14 10:57

amostly anything that is a rumor from sony is true.

-1 # ps2 emulation — Guest 2010-05-14 15:10

wish to play ps2 games on psp

-1 # RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — Guest 2010-05-14 15:42

We know what happened here. Sony heard Nintendo will be debuting the next gen of Nintendo DS so they had to scramble to show something themselves. But why bother. Nintendo is so confident in their dominance they don't even see Sony as a threat anymore and are looking to take some of Apple's growing share in gaming. Most of Sony's upgrades after PSP-1000 have been minimal.

-1 # I think, — Guest 2010-05-14 17:24

the only big change that was good was psp-2000 double ram. That was nice. Since then, the integrated mic was nice, the rest... shit.

-1 # Forcasted — Guest 2010-05-15 15:54

pspgo was doomed straight from the start. Not only is it pretty expensive for most people, but who wants to throw their umd's out? If my psp1000 was more compact it would be awesome. The only thing I'd really like to see is another analog nub and I'd be much happier than the go whicih I refuse to buy.

-1 # Can it get any lower — kaz050 2010-05-15 17:13

GTFO sony u suck alot of idiots work there.you think by now they would of put things that peopled asked for in the psp-go but no they dident and now there comeing out with psp2 if that new psp-2 came with GTA SA and saints row i buy it but its not worth it anymore seeing as i have a blue psp-2000 that's doing nothing.

-1 # I want the gsm phone feature — Guest 2010-05-16 06:14

I want the PSP 2 to be gaming smart phone that the PSP Go was supposed to be. Having a phone and psp separately just adds to the bulk I have to carry.

A good design which is easy on the hands, a good OS, and a current gen smart phone feature- dual camera with xenon flash, BT, wifi and qwerty freaking keyboard. Touchscreen is not required and don't need an internal HD, a flash memory card that supports (minimum) up to 128 GB. NVIDIA Tegra 2 is a requirement.

-1 # Smart phone PSP — Guest 2010-05-16 06:24

PSP 2 should have capabilities of smart phone.

A good design that is easy on my hands

1GHz or more processor,
NVIDIA Tegra 2 GPU
BT, Wifi, QWERTY freaking KB
Dual Camera, with xenon flash
Mini/Micro USB

Internal HD is not a requirement, but flash card support (minimum) of 128 GB.

A good OS with standby feature for games.

A decent battery life.

-1 # RE: Smart phone PSP — Guest 2010-05-16 13:02

How are we going to play games, with just a qwerty keyboard?

# ihsan — Guest 2010-05-19 14:36

you must be joking m8. Minimum 128 gb space ? who can buy such a game device ?

-1 # Hm — iluvfuz 2010-05-16 15:29

128 GB flash storage..? That would be as expensive as hell (64 GB's the highest reasonable flash storage I've seen). HDD would just make the PSP fat and noisy. But I just want improved processor and RAM for support for about PS2/Xbox quality graphics. That might be asking too much, but it seems feasible today.

-1 # Maybe — Humpfreey 2010-05-16 18:40

they will show off the new Go 2 ?
;P

# psp2 — Guest 2010-05-17 15:43

if it allowed homebrew somehow alot of ppl would buy it

# RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — Guest 2010-05-18 04:34

Hmmm this is interesting but all this talk about allowed homebrew is a complete no. this feature was removed from the ps3 and isn coming back unfortunately. Big flash storage i higly doubt as sony would make heapps of money of there pro 2 duo's which are stupidly over priced and as the psp go being a failure that doesnt help. unfortunately though because they have started with the all digital revuloution i belive it will stay that way. qwerty keyboard would ruin the psp because of the bulk unless it is a phone which again highly unlikely. chances are this rumour will just turn out to be a rumour like they all do before e3 *sigh*

# RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — iluvfuz 2010-05-18 22:58

Even if it is being announced this year's E3 for a 2011 release, I won't be getting it. I'll probably wait for a few minor releases first...make it thinner, faster, and--hopefully--more features.

# psp2 — Guest 2010-05-18 23:15

We won't see a psp2 so soon if Sony is thinking of intergrating a IT GPU to their new handheld. From what i seen the new iphone has a sgx535 and sgx545 is the latest gpu atm. Maybe Sony is waiting for the sgx55x that may support dx11, who knows? well correct me if I'm wrong...

# RE: Rumor: PSP 2 Making Debut at E3 — senz 2010-05-21 06:23

Everyone seems to be wanting the PSP2 to emulate PS2 games, i doubt that possible given that the Emotion engine is very complex and yes its possible to not use the Emotion engine with software but doing so there will be alot of incompatibility problems , error and glitches with PS2 games when emulated..

# psp2 — jkx 2010-05-29 00:56

i wish it can be hack
with 4 cell cpu, maybe at last we can play ps2 ,nds, n64, gamecube games at full speed

hahahahahahahah ahaa can't wait..

# well — Humpfreey 2010-05-31 07:28

no cfw no buy ;)
