No topic on this yet? You guys are really slow, ze.
The PSP2 (or New Generation Portable as it's codenamed) was just unveiled at Sony's meeting-type-deal, and it's looking pretty spiffy. Dual analog sticks, the usual appeal of fantastic graphics capabilities, a touch screen on the front and a touch screen on the back, six-axis motion controls, and Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities. Some have called it the child of an iPhone and the PSP, but it's looking pretty good. I mean, it's capable of playing Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid 4!
I'm just wondering what the price is going to be, knowing Sony, especially with the 3G feature.
The games look pretty good, but while I'm getting a 3DS right away, I'll wait on the NGP (which USED to be the abbreviation for the Neo Geo Pocket).
Sony sure added a lot of stuff with this one, but time will tell if they back it up with games. They seem to have a problem of selling the features of a system, not the actual games.
What will determine their success is which ever one is easiest to develop for.
i don't care simply because i'm not going to be able to afford it any time soon and the PSP doesn't have enough games to make me want it before the 3DS
It's going to be minimum $399, guarantee it.

I don't know if sony is that insane
my guess was $350 only because it's a handheld. But yeah, for what you're getting the price should be pretty high up there. But poop, who is going to buy a $400 psp? that's some crazy poop right there
also ngp = no games portable. thank you #nyanya for helping me realize this brilliant acronym's true meaning
3G Wireless, Two touch screens, HD Graphics etc etc? Definitely gonna be up at the 400 dollar range.
I think the back-side touch screen they showed with Uncharted looked retarded.
What exactly is the rear touchpad for?

Making you intercourse up while playing games.
Meh. Uncharted Portable is cool, but meh.

Casuals, gimmick, or an excuse to bump the price up even more.
If it's above $400 there's no way I'm going to get it. It looks cool, but so far all of the games for it are just smaller versions of games already on the PS3.
Sooo, I need to wait for the NGPC for color, right?
I just got a PSP so I'll wait a good long while to pick this up, namely after I know what the battery is like and it's in the 200-250 range. And to everyone who was making fun of PSPgo buyers, Sony is trying to add every noteworthy PSP title to the PSN for the NGP's launch. (Well, real word they used was "every" but that ain't happening)
All I can say is that it has a really neat and slick design.
