PSP-2/4000 Confirmation

[OUTL4W]

PSP news, Playstation Portable 2, Pocket Gamer

Here we have more rumors of the PSP-2 which details it to be almost exactly like that concept image we saw a while back with the sliding screen and dual analog nubs. Apparantly someone developing the hardware has revealed these details (dual analog nubs, touch screen and sliding screen).

I actually believe some of this (the part with the touch screen because that is essential for the next generation of games, people are just starting to accept touch games). So basically, I'm already expecting it to have a touchscreen but the other features seem almost too good to be true.

Will we finally see the dream gaming handheld? The iPhone lacks controls and is severely limited by that fact.

Like Apple's newcomer, the PSP 2 will be a compact device with a large touchscreen. However, where Sony's machine has the edge is when the touchscreen is slid open as it reveals familiar buttons, D-pads and – praise the Lord of Handhelds – dual analogue controls.

definitely picking this up if it has a touchscreen and dual nubs....fawk yeah.

This might seem like a stupid question but....is this 100% certain to come out? And how much do you think it will cost when/if it does?

If it has dual analogs......I will give up my food money and stand in line for hours to get it the day it would come out. That would be a dream come true. I would even do the river dance I would be so happy.

I read about this about2 weeks ago and it seems there are actually 3 concepts out there right now, there is no definite look or style of the new PSP, but it will definitely lean towards the touch screen and dual nubs, but the looks of the release date are well unknown.

 

[OUTL4W]

it will also feature multi-touch and UMD'less in opt for digital download.

but I won't believe until I see it...

I just want my dual nubs...

idk if anyone said it was fake, but they certainly said it wasnt real! lol or its just a fans prototype. damn i thought Sony was gonna quit the handled wars... if its $200 and the graphics improve ill buy one.

 

[DM xFantin]

i bet itll be at least $399 USD, probably more

 

[DM Nebula7]

Sony has always killed all in the hand held wars. Sony is the only gaming business that seems to put their customers first before their profit unlike greedy ass Microsoft.

From what I've investigated it has a 78% chance of dual joystics, the touchscreen I don't believe and the sliding just seems too good to be true, and they won't be using umd's anymore from what I can tell

I intend to agree with you on everything.

PSP-2 should dump MemoryStick and use Micro-SD instead.

Judging by sonY's nature, that probably won't even happen.

I'll definitely be getting this if it has a second analog stick and has a sliding screen like the one in the fan image. It looks damn sexy.

I don't mind if they kept the UMD around, but I doubt they'll keep it after seeing what a failure it has been. Ditching it would ultimately improve battery life, make for cheaper manufacturing costs, and would make room for a nice big HDD

good observation, BUT. It kinda looks like a glare or maybe they didnt have a game ready to play on it, so they photoshopped it
