Rumor: PSP2 will have no UMD, could rival the Xbox 360 |

not the PSP2
Now that the PlayStation Phone has been somewhat outed, the buzz on the online community now shift back to Sony's other handheld platform, the elusive/long rumored Playstation Portable 2. According multiple sources close to the project, the PSP2 will have dual analog sticks, a bigger screen, touch controls and a massive amount of RAM than can rival those found in the Xbox 360.
Kotaku reports that during this years TGS event in Tokyo, Sony revealed the long-rumored PSP2 to select people in the industry, showing off the device with "touch panel on the back of the system what looked like a mouse trackpad. The PSP2 also had dual analog sticks and a larger display which Sony touted as being HD."Kotaku notes that "while the device was shown in two form-factors, one that looked like the PSP Go and one that looked like the PSP, Sony told attendees that they have not yet settled on the final design for the system."
Now fresh rumors about the device has once again surfaced online, with several insiders telling the site that the long-rumored device will follow in the footsteps of the PSP Go and will not support the UMD format. "Games will be stored on a Memory Stick, according to one source. Though we've also been told that Sony is still puzzling out what the final non-UMD storage solution will be for the PSP2," according to Kotaku.
The site’s sources also revealed that the new device will be a much more powerful gaming machine, sporting 1 GB of RAM that is twice as those found on the Xbox 360.
Meanwhile, multiple sources also told VG247 that PSP2 is currently codenamed “Veta” and is currently slated "for a late 2011 launch."

Plus there would be barely any loading screens cause it could store 1/4 of the game (if they get up there to 8gb games) and it could load in the background, deleted in game start cinematic from ram and preloading game maps while in the menu...
that would be sweet.. plus it would rape nintendo ds's...
not like 2gb ram sticks are expensive... like $25 each
so cost could be:
$50 for 4gb ram
$100 for custom processor...
$1 - literally... the case plastic.
$50 motherboard
$50 screen
$30 battery
= $281.00
markup so that they make money could be $300 for comsumer... so they get $19 per psp...
Times that by atleast 50million sold = $950,000,000.00
- $10million for production costs
= $940,000,000.00 in first half year...
i think it's worth it.
dont bash too much for the numbers of sales.... but hey... look at the sales charts, it's bound to get atleast 50million customers....china alone would eat that up, then you still have USA, Canada, and EU...

The math seems right but I think they will just work on getting the parts custom built. Anything Custom will mean more money... so we'll see how that works out. But if someone at sony were to pay attention instead of those bed and breakfast deals for parts... they may make the new PSP the most profitable hand held in a VERY long time. (and that concept pic is still awesome with it were the design for the PSP2) (ooh and PS2 and PSN game playback should be a DEFAULT option on this new device..)

they BETTER NOT devote 20mb of flash space and ~10% processor power to security, thats ridiculous.

but hey, i'm no business man or electronic parts dealer, i was just trying to sum up the main price points for it.
did you also notice that i didnt include the price for the solder to put the motherboard together???
oh ya, and those tiny capacitors... lets add $0.02 for every 50 capacitors needed....
and $50 for the screen, LAWL, that could be the cost for them, at WHOLEsale mass market!!... for us consumers to buy single screen they'd probly cost like $150+...
sure, $10million might not be enough for paying people to design everything, but if they're getting in $950 Million in profits, i think they're all happy and feel successful anyways and the company would have huge stock values.
and im sorry for not getting exact numbers for the prices of parts for a system not even confirmed to have even been thinking about thinking to start to think about thinking about designing the next psp

also your prices are way off
$100 for a processor and $50 for a motherboard i wanna shop where u shop cause that is super cheap
ram for a desktop pc is completely different to what will be in the psp 2 the chips will be far smaller the ones on desktop ram making them more expensive
also it wont probably load anything in the background it will load things as and when it needs them as if its loading things in the background hows is it going to process everything which is happening now without significant slowdown
good try tho, just easy to tell your a noob

are you a fucking retard??? when did he ever talk about Clock speed???you're bitching about shit he never mentioned.
You do know that apples aren't only red, they also come in green and yellow colors. So why do you think that apples are ONLY red??? Apples are very healthy for you and they grow on trees.
See i can do it too

Besides just being poorly written, shouldn't it also be pointed out that it's twice as much as the PS3 also has?
Or, to be precise, 4x as much as the PS3 CPU has access to, and 4x as much as the PS3 GPU has access to, since its broken into 256mb independents.
Dunno, just seemed odd to compare it to the 360 when its a Sony device.

You're right that it's slower accessing the additional 256MB, but its slowest is still as fast as the Xbox 360.
In terms of sheer speed the 360's memory has nothing on the PS3.

Anyway, anyone who knows anything about computers knows that clock speed isn't everything. Other factors can bottleneck performance; for the PS3, that'd be the lack of unified pipelines and the sheer difficulty of coding for it effectively.
A lot of devs like to by and large just ignore the SPEs and concentrate on coding for the PPC core, which means said developers can only access about a third of the processing power of the 360, which is a lot closer to your run-of-the-mill computer than the PS3 is.
Naturally, since the PS3 has been out a while now and developers are getting more accustomed to the hardware, that trend beginning to reverse and we're starting to see multiplatform games that actually outperform their 360 counterparts by miles.
You have your answer, now shut up and go play with your tennis ball.

xbox 360 has 10 MB of super fast 256 GB/s memory...
has 3 powerpc cores instead of only one of ps3...
that is why kinect is possible on xbox 360 and not possible on ps3...
one core for the game and one or two for the kinect...
multi games are produced with only one core in mind....so the closeness in graphics between ps3 and xbox 360...
it makes the producing time faster, and the ps3 is allmoust identical at least 1 core...

Either the writer of this meant to mention one of those facts or they are just a little rere up there to say something will be better than something else due to ram size.
I'm a Sony fanboy too and I think this post is total trash.

Read up on ergonomics, then look at the button/stick placement.

If it WAS like that it'd be uncomfortable as f*ck though

That's like saying the iPad has a 768p resolution so it can graphically rival GTAIV and Call of Duty on both Xbox and PS3.

I mean it will make it hard for developers and consumers to have 2 psp's with games that dont work on both (i assume).
I would love to have this one with a phone built-in or maybe even a plugin device i can connect to it.
Anyway this one looks awsome to me and now i am not sure i will get the 3DS as this seems to blow it away

BUT if it does come out with dual stick,touch screen, and super fast proccessor like xbox 360 with enough memory. AND a cool design(i mean i dont want to have just a ugly portable box do i?) then i may even sell my laptop for it :)

One thing is for sure, it'll be better than Nintendo's 3DS because Sony will know what the hardware it has.
3DS's graphics weren't too good, a bit better than PSP, like PS2/Wii.
Hopefully PSP 2 will have superior graphics, and awesome games, like Uncharted 2 PSP2 edt.
No UMD? Bring another physical format because digital format sucks to the point I'll never buy anything from PSS (overpriced).

Cartridges are probably far cheaper to manufacture than media today, taking into account drives for the system etc

LISTEN to me Sony and dond be dumb.
handheld != only one player games on one console.
Add possibility to connect ps3 gamepad .
Reply
For someone who can't even spell "don't" nor get a proper sentence done, you sure know who to call dumb.
handheld = 1 player? It's a 3x5 inch screen... of course it's going to be single player. Who'd want to play multiplayer on that anyway?
possibility to connect gamepad? Get a PSP Go... dumb little kid.

They want more money because umd (physical copies) can be resold without any revenue towards Sony.
Plain and simple.
