Here's some more talk about the already much talked about NGP of Sony. Thanks to SCE Kaz Hirai, we now have the information about the handheld's software format.
What you can expect from it is that you will get your games via custom memory card format. Like other memory cards, this should allow you to store your save data and downloadables in it. It's also said to have rewritable space, so you gotta make sure you don't overwrite your data indiscriminately, lest you want to start your game all over again.

Sony could release firmware update to the old PSP enabling it to officially rip the game and the digital copy can be signed through PSN to the account.
Or something like that, but I don't think this will please the publishers nor Sonyز

You just won't be able to play them until the NGP security is cracked.

Sony: we're in negotiations to convert your existing UMD games into a PSP go digital format.
PSP owners: Great! I don't want to lose out on my existing UMD games when I buy a PSP Go.
Sony: OOps, sorry you're screwed. You have to buy digital download games, even if you already own the UMD versions.
Hopefully sony won't advertise the NGP as being fully backward compatible.

back in the super nes, there wasn't such a thing....but looks like that now is even more important that the new games itselves.
How can this be more ironic.
So you wanted a UMD drive in PSP2 when most of you didn't even buyed one to begin with.
Ridiculous!

Just like with my PS3. If I want to play PS2 games I fire up the old PS2. It's not that hard and it's not like they cost a bomb to buy now either.
UMD was far from a good idea anyway. Limited to 1.8gb and a serious battery drainer. At least this time we have removable games in a form that will be easy to keep should they redesign the NGP in the future.

based on the hardware, ngp has the advantage. that doesn't mean crap unless devs utilize it.

Some examples that I can think of: Monster Hunters series, MGS portable ops & peace walker. Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy Type-0 (Agito), Parasite Eve 3rd birthday, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, Ape Escape...etc
So basically, any games would benefit from better camera control especially FPS genre.
Regarding Minis, well they reached more than 150 mini title but still that's really lower than expected.
I'm still optimistic on the PS suite that it could change that. Cross platform development will be more likely a reason to attract small developers.
