Leak on PSP2

SHARE:

OK, the specs are there and they are impressive, but the idea seems a little far-fetched and the device looks a little strange.

Just a rumor now but some would definitely be impressed by the new appearance. An earlier anonymous source
revealed that a PSP 2 was being worked on and one of its most important new features would be an integrated camera which will allow users to stream live video to the PlayStation3 via WiFi.

PSP2, codename Cobalt, sounds just like the bad title of an old movie and, frankly, the appearance that was recently made for the platform is not a very impressive one. It's just like a train car. Don't get me wrong, it's not ugly or anything but if it does become a reality, it is going to have to compete with

As a Gen 1 PSP owner, there's only 2 things I'd like to know that aren't on the list (other than hack/mod questions), and that would be;

- Better Audio? 200% brighter screen not as important IMO as 50 % louder external speaker.
- Will there be more memory for surfing to stop/reduce the "out of memory" stuff? Also what is thememory expansion option, MemStickDuo still supported? 8GB 4GB would be nice, that way 8GB resident for things you access alot, and then expansion for things you wanna share (game saves, non DRM media, etc).

Also hopefully this will be a fast enough proc to allow a fuller version of the browser/plugins so that you can watch GoogleVideo directly, as well as improve load speeds.

Also would be nice if the screen were 720xx480 for better webpage viewing (especially for embeded stuff).

Who cares about the DS? What's the big orgasm? It's like comparing the Sopwith Camel to the F-22. I think Nintendo fans just can't accept PSP literally beat them down in the ground like a sledgehammer smashing a spike through the dirt. It's better, and it's literally provable right before your own eyes my friend. Not just the graphics, but the many other options.

Cmon man, 3ds is going to whop psp. Going to be a long time till we see the psp2. They only just getting a touch screen now. Bottom touch screen acts like a analogue mouse with the thumb strap. Just like having keyboard and mouse. Doesn't interfere with the topscreen. I play metroid on the ds like this and it was great. I regret selliing my ds as I thought the psp would have better strategy games but I regretted it bad when I realised that playing fps on it is a pain in the * having the analogue stick on the wrong side for freeview. That sucked * . Now the 3ds is champion all round. yay.

I heard on the radio (97.9 kupd) this thing was supposed to have three screens.

yeah id like more web surfing power and a touch screen'd be nice too. cant see how dual analouge would work what with top space but good luck to them.

I'm saving my cash for the PSP 2, since I know the moment I go out and spring for a lite, they're gonna come out with the better one. I also gripe about the memory problems and would like to see them release a firmware update for the PSP1's IR port. What's the big idea with that? But I do like the idea of a switch to Bluetooth. A touch screen would be nice, but it would have to be with fingers and optional in the games becuase A) I wouldn't want to get it dirty and B) I wouldn't want to lose the stylus. If they are gonna go dual analog sticks, they need to free them up. Mine have a ton of stiction, and I take great care of it. But I figure if they were smart, they would make the RAM on the PSP expandable, that way we could upgrade it and, heck, they could make the software updates interactive, like you choose options, and even more depending on how much memory you have installed. We could go on, but you get the picture. Great product, lots of room for improvment.

Comment #11 by: jay steve on 27 Mar 2009, 03:52 UTC reply to this comment

the new look is damn bad .............psp1 looks much better........sony come with a new idea!!


Comment #12 by: rem on 15 Mar 2010, 12:17 UTC reply to this comment

oh come on...1st look at the picture and i already think it's fake...why would you put the analog stick above the d-pad and the []OX^

that would make it so hard to control games that use analog and d-pad at the same time..like Monster Hunter....and the shape...its just weird.. =))...i think psp2 doesn't even look near to that picture

oh yeah....it's my opinion and review...i just wanna let people know..so don't make harsh comments about me...

Lol, Pretty off now wasn't this? Now that the real PSP2, or NGP has been revealed, I am going through all the articles and laughing at how far, and being intrigued at how close some articles are/were.
