Earlier this week we reported that the PSP will feature an OLED screen. Apparently Sony have decided to go with dual touch inputs. The OLED screen will act as a touchscreen while the rear trackpad seen previously in leaked images will still be there. And speaking of the screen, the PSP2's display resolution has reportedly been upgraded to 960 x 544 on a 5" screen.
For an idea of how that new screen size stacks up with the one on current PSPs, here's a comparison pic between a PSP and a Dell Streak.
Aside from 3G and wireless LAN, the PSP2 will also have WiFi. Bluetooth support is also a possibility. Other additional features include hardware-integrated GPS, an accelerometer, microphone, front and rear cameras, and a gyroscope, although there seems to be some doubt regarding that last one.
With all of these extra accoutrements, the dimensions of the handheld have changed. It will not be as wide as the original PSP but will instead be "higher", which probably means an increase in the vertical measurements. One thing to note is that 01.net's source apparently claims that it won't fit in his pocket. No word yet on how much it weighs.
Putting the new dual touch interfaces aside, the PSP2's input methods remain largely the same. There will be the usual four face buttons, the L and R triggers, and a directional pad. Those asking for dual analog sticks can finally heave a sigh of relief as Sony have reportedly added another one to complement the already existing analog stick.

Assume Ratio between A and B is 16:9(or 1.7647:1)
Solve for A and B
A+(x*2)
Where x is the width of the 4 Buttons.
A= Approx. Width
B= Approx. Height

And whats that SD slot for expansion ? Why not M2 ?

The UMD provided amazing storage capacity for its manufacturing cost at a time where a 1GB Memory Stick Duo would set you back over £100, but it's become a tad redundant now, especially since it was capped at 1.8GB while the DS'es flash storage provides unlimited potential for future expansions without upgrading any end-user hardware.

Cause its not a probability.
Flash still costs more now than UMD did 6 years ago.
In all likelihood, they'll go with bluray based UMD

Right?
I think between sticking another spinning drive in there and just putting everything on an internal flash I'd rather take the internal flash.
If sony is gonna go with DL'd content then their going to have to arrange an infrastructure for people to be able to walk into a storefront and DL it there then.
Sounds like a lot of logistics to arrange for that everywhere IMO.
And honestly for 30 to 50 bucks each for a game I think sony should be able to take a minor hit of a few bucks in each sale to invest in a little pricier storage for the sake of a better hardware platform.
(But fat chance of sony seeing it that way eh?!)

No ones denying that. Thats always been the case. But COST has also been why we switched to CD/DVD/UMD/Bluray. Its simply not cost effective to store large amounts of data on flash.

They arent. They've already said it would be stupid of them to do that.

Its not a 'few' bucks, its millions of bucks. Mass production. If they went with Bluray based UMD, it'd cost TEN times more to get the same amount of space on flash.
Reply
... and if they shrunk the resolution of the screen down to 128x76 they could save even more money!
Sorry dude, but sometimes quality takes precedence, and given that the production cost of a game is still going to be minimal up against the profit margin either way, Sony would have to be effing morons to go down the UMD route once more.

Motors are driven by magnets. It's just not going to have any sort of disc drive if there's a multi-touch screen, so if they're going to have any sort of removable game media, it's going to be flash-based.

NGP reveal.

Ultima: 2 -- Techni: -32
Holy crap!!!! -32!!! That worse then mister common douche, er I mean bona fide, er I mean tron, er I mean Deez Nutz...gees it's so hard to keep up with him these days!!!
I guess techni's recent batch of spamming and trolling is catching up to him.
Anyway, Ultima is completely right. Putting a game on a 2GB SD card (for example) wouldn't cost that much more. The only reason you'll still pay $4 for one retail is because they are still trying to get as much money back from that discontinued SKU.
2GB or 4GB of flash these days cost pennies on the dollar and that's RW! Games would not need RW so....even cheaper!

How about you quit acting like a f*****g a*****e all over the site? All you do is b**ch and moan about other people yet you constantly reply to those people! STFU and knock it off! F*****G troll!!!
STFU troll!!!! Quit acting like a f*****g jackass all over the place. Do you realize how f*****g stupid you make yourself look?
The alleged senders, Freeballin and JEmlay are fake logins of ISOHaven he uses to vote down the comments of his enemies and vote up his own comments. They gave him positive reviews after having no interaction with him. Crazy things going on here.....

Ban him Qj! If you were to ban anybody, god I would hope it would be him. Please, if you care about your site at all, ban ISOHaven. I'm sure there's 50 people here that agree with me. I'll get people to sign an online petition if that's what it takes. I really like this site, except reading profanity laden insults and threats from ISOHaven.
"I guess techni's recent batch of spamming and trolling is catching up to him."
That's a PERFECT example of his typical comments HATING other members for disagreeing with him.
BAN HIM and all his fake logins, which are ISOHaven, LiveNLearn, JEmlay, and FreeBallin. Anybody wonder why the comment rating is always messed up? Everyone that disagreed with him at some point is on his hate list.
If qj does not ban an obvious troll like him, then they admit they want to encourage harassment and hating on their site.

Want to know the major offense Techni commited to be on ISOHaven's hate list?
He disagreed with him. Yep, that's all it takes. What a hostile commenting atmosphere.

Oh and by the way...
Want to know the major offense Techni commited to be on EVERYONE's hate list?
On 10+ articles he ranted at all the authors whinny about how they run QJ and how they work their comment section.
Maybe you should think before you speak and it wouldn't help to know WTF you were talking about either.
Reply
Anywho...how about you answer one of these?
"All you do is b**ch and moan about other people yet you constantly reply to those people"
Looks like he nailed you spot on! You do a whole lot of complaining about me. So how about you answer that? If you don't like me so much why do you insist on trashing talking every single one of my posts you come across?
Maybe you should learn to avoid the people you don't like. That would sure be better then you ranting and raving all over the QJ site. Because, honestly, it's you who is trashing this place up with your multiple post rants.
Do everyone here a favor. Grow up. Learn to act like an adult and quit all this childish nonsense. You do nothing but get into fights here at QJ while I continue to have perfectly normal conversations with people who are not trolls.
Or...keep it up and eventually get banned as you did with your other accounts.
Peace and love bro!!!! Peace and love!!!!

I've always followed the rules here and offered a differing opinion in a respectful way. ISOHaven has NEVER done that. Anyone that disagrees with him at all gets vulgar reviews and -4 comment ratings EVERY TIME.
Then I saw these same 2 people and one other (that never comment) give you positive reviews on the SAME DAY.
So that proves ISOHaven is LiveNLearn, JEmlay, FreeBallin, and possibly others.
What you said IS harassment and a violation of this site's USER AGREEMENT.
I think you need to learn some people skills. For example, if you verbally abuse EVERYONE on this site except for the same 3 people, SUPRISE! You will be treated the same in return.
Techni offered CONSTRUCTIVE criticism how to make this site better. It seems both you and qj don't ever want this site to be a forum for anything but trash talk.
Have fun explaining that, troll!

1. You should get help with that whole split personality thing you got going on.
2. It is possible for people on QJ to know each other OUTSIDE of QJ. I know that's probably something you can't wrap your head around but you'll 'get it' eventually.
3. They have posted on this site. So you FAIL at having the facts.
4. How about you put up or shut up? Start linking everyone here to all these many pages where I abuse "EVERYONE". You know, your "talk" is really starting to wear thin. Especially since you are just that....nothing but talk.
5. What part of techni spammed this entire site for a week did you not understand? That is NOT CONSTRUCTIVE. However, the FACT that you condone his actions only proves your intention. So yeah, you are certainly on my shit list. People like you ruin a good time.
Well there you go, I explained it all. What do you have to say now? What other absolute ignorance do you have to share with everyone?

"ISOHaven's trash talk forums."
Everyone hates him, but they're afraid to say it out of fear of further harassment and abuse.

But dont count it out just yet.
I never would have expected that giant turd the xbox to become so popular either.
You just never know what people are going to latch onto for no apparent reason next.
But I'd like to see the playstation brand stay around, I'd hate to be left with just nintendo and microsoft, so lets cross our fingers.

UMD disc had protection that made it a bit fat, and the disc itself would fit perfectly on a PSP 2 or even PSPgo.
Sony, PSP 2 NEEDS physical media, it won't be a success without it.

Sony agrees.

In any case, 16GB of flash memory doesn't seem to stretch well with the idea of 1GB games, especially if they are to be larger and have more definition to them. What doesn't make sense either is the whole 512MB vs 1GB of RAM for devkits, simply being the devs could utilize the double RAM and make something that runs smoothly using up 768MB of RAM, yet the retail uses only 512, therefor slowing performance down, not that 512MB would be quickly sucked up by such a device, hell the 64MB we have on the Go and Slim are good enough.

It wasnt legal for Sony to do so though, it's against the law to undercut that way.

I paid $6 for mine, new, from Sony.

And $6??? Was that at a clearance outlet or some sort of sale? Haven't found one nearly that low unless it's a Chinese ripoff on eBay for $0.99

The LAW says its illegal for Sony to undercut it's retailers.

more over, publishers are the ones who gotta decide when to release on PSN
"It's up to individual third parties to decide if and when to publish their UMD releases on PSN. Most, if not all, are on board, as this is a revenue opportunity for them," by Eric Lempel, SCEA's director of PlayStation Network operations.
The only problem with Sony that they didn't make it a mandatory requirement for publishers to make simultaneous release.
I think it all returns back to the greedy retailers making publishers delay the digital release.
Sony can't boycott retailers either, as this will affect the console sales.

My main problem with PSPgo was the damn buttons, they were too small to play with, also the analogue stick was wrongly placed.
Oh, and it haz no games. Needed physical media.

It had a few problems.

I'm probably wrong because Sony would never use 4:3 in this day and age, 16:9 is the way to go.

At first people thought the PSP-3000 would have dual analog sticks, and then they thought the PSP Go would have dual analog sticks. Sony statement was: "The PSP is too early in its stages to have dual analog sticks". WHAT? Are you kidding me? I knew for a fact after the PSP-2000 (I didn't buy the "fat" PSP because I knew they would slim it down). I wasn't going to shell out money for new models unless they had dual analog sticks.
I knew what I wanted, Sony knows what the consumers want and look how long it's taken them to give the people what they want.
It's the same thing with the PS3. They robbed people off their money with the launch PS3's and I bet they fully new well people's PS3 would fail well after it went out of warranty.
I have doubts that even if the PSP2 comes equipped with dual analog sticks, Sony will still find someway to screw it up. They lack innovation which is exactly why Nintendo is slaughtering them in the handheld department. Hell Microsoft is decimating them with the Kinect.
So if Sony wants to make a come back their going need more than lawsuits against hackers (i.e Geohot) and the Move.
If Sony wants to pull a comeback out of their ass. They might want to stand up.
I'm not a Microsoft nor am I Nintendo fan boy. I'm just staying what I've seen over the years.

Don't tell me you actually bought two new PSPs and only found out after paying (on both occasions) that they didn't have a second stick?
Reply
The new PSP doesn't have the 3D screen like the 3DS, but it seems better in every other way. This thing is going to be a beast.
