Re: Official PSP2 Thread
It looks really nice and sounds quite interesting. I might buy it, depending on price of course. I don't plan to spend $500 on a portable system (and especially not $1000, although that's probably just a placemarker. No way in Hell.)
I bought a PSP and haven't ended up playing it nearly as much as I expected to, so I feel bad about that.

I guess it doesn't technically say "all."
Seems odd to have a rear touchscreen (a touchpad I could understand, but you can't look at both screens at the same time, why would you need a screen?)
# NGP will be able to play PSP titles, minis, PS one classics, video and comics from the PlayStation Store.

Just locked in my PSP Go on Gazelle for an almost $100 gift card from Amazon. Just gotta finish Ghost of Sparta and I'll send it in before 30 days is up...

I wonder if it can attach to multiple accounts... The PSP can only attach to one account at the moment. Anyway, I love my PSPs (fat, slim and Go), I think it's time to retire them
It doesn't look cheap at all, $300-$500 would be my guess, time to save those pretty pennies...

What could be easily done (at least in theory) is to play the HD upgraded versions of PS2 games currently available for the PS3. God of War 1 & 2 and the Price of Persia Trilogy are already available for download through the PSN. That would be very cool and shouldn't be at all hard to implement.
What they might be able to do is write a custom emulator for each PS2 game and package that with the game.

I'm thinking this may have the unfortunate (for Sony) side effect of making the 3DS seem like a bargain, at least price-wise. I don't see how they could get it under 300. And then the games will have to recoup development costs, so $50?

I think they'll get it in at $299. The design is similar to the PSP and probably didn't require much R&D. Capacitive touch screens are fairly cheap these days.
I can't see anyone shelling out more than $300 for a portable game system.

I dunno, i think the Go is still 200 and the 3000 is around the same (but in bundles). two screens, at least one of which is higher resolution, and upping all the specs would seem to make this one pretty expensive. Maybe the 3G one will be subsidized by whatever they charge for the monthly service or something? Sony never seems to be afraid of scaring people away with their prices.

Long story short : Bought an expensive house in August in a fancy neighborhood. House needed a ton of work. We set out to remodel the shit out of it. The contractor underbid and then didn't finish the work, and he didn't pay his sub-contractors. He thinks I owe him money for his half-finished POS job. I think he need to give me money back. I need to hire a new contractor and finish this fucker up. I now have two houses and am in limbo. It's a huge fucking mess.
One day though I'll have a kick-ass home cinema in a rocking man-cave and I'll never again have to wait until after the Real Housewives Wrap-Up show to play video games. Can't wait for that day.

Yeah, it'll definitely be $299 or less. Remember that Sony sells systems at cost or even at a loss, so it's not like the $299 iPod Touch that costs Apple only $120 in cost to manufacture, or a $599 top of the line cell phone that may cost $240 to manufacture, etc (making these numbers up, but hopefully you get the idea).

I agree $300 is the limit. And the fact is, considering the cost of smart phones and MP3s these days, that isn't very expensive. I'm more worried about the cost of games. A system like this is going to need some pretty sweet console level titles, and if people aren't willing to drop $50 for a game, I worry it won't happen.

How many versions of this thing is there going to be? Destruction said there aren3G and non-3G versions, at least. Is this $300 limit just on the basest model?

Absolutely, if they can bring it in under $300, that would be for the wifi model, I assume, just like the iPad did. That would be fine for me. I've got the 4G wifi hotspot on my Evo phone and I absolutely LOVE it.

Wonder what the battery life is gonna be like? Without a UMD drive and using an OLED screen I would think it should get somewhere between 6-8hrs, depending on the battery size.
