PSP2 will play PS Suite applications.
Unless the difference in price appeals to you, I'd go with the NGP.

It will be like this:-

-If you want the ultimate (console-like) portable gaming experience & you already got a phone anyway... (NGP for you).

-If you care about convenient portability & casual games with yay-buttons and you don't have android phone already (XperiPlay for you).

-If you don't care about physical buttons -specially the shoulders one- for casual games ( many choices, but go with iOS devices for wider selection of games)

-If you can't wait for NGP (like me :P) and you want to build your ps game library earlier till NGP. ( why not planning on both, android + NGP).

-If you want Nintendo exclusives, care about 3D and the backward compatible games from over 930 DS titles.( 3DS for you)

Personally I think NGP & XperiaPlay complementing each others, there is a time I can carry my PSP with me, but most of the time I can't. Ps suite will make some games more accessible in the go.

So what are the two circle things in the middle of the bottom section, touch pad thumbsticks? if so thats fail. if they are just there because there is a large space of nothing in the phone that is also fail.

They're optical dual analog.
we don't now much about it yet, so I wouldn't say fail until it get reviewed or I used it my self.

If they put analog nub like in the PSP.. it would be great but we all know HOW THICK it will be if they added that.

optical dual analog probably the best compromise solution they can come up with. It's thin and dosnt take space from the handest ( more space for batteries and othe important stuff) but yet it will be better than a virtual sticks with your fat thumbs covering the screen.

who gives a shit about thumbsticks on a phone anyway the fact that there are already alot of emulators that work 10 times better than they do on current psp with actual control buttons is freakin awesome get over yourself and admit that it is a cool phone that even plays games better than psp

The Play is a waste of money. Sony already said PS Suite is gonna come to the Android Market.

Just wait for a better android phone to come out and get PS Suite.

Plus there are apps out there that let you map PS3 controller via bluetooth.
