I'm reallyb looking forward to this.

 

[KittyP]

Super looking forward to the psp2 even more than 3ds

 

[L3ggy]

At last!

 

[turtle825]

Cool.

 

[Huckepack92]

sounds really good - but as we all know: a platform is only as good as it's software; let's hope for the best... i sold my psp because there were only few games i liked.

 

[darkwarrior3007]

I'm not jumping on the PSP bandwagon this time. I bought the PSP the day it came out and ended up trading it in because all it did was sit on my dresser collecting dust.

 

[pluggs999]

I like my PSP but only for a few games. At least I got it for a gift and didn't spend my own money on it

 

[Master Roshi]

hmmm, I'll let the guinea pigs buy it first and see the reactions, reviews and complaints, I don't know about this latest sony portable

 

[shayd]

I'm a tad conflicted on this one. I'd like to at least try it, but I'm not entirely convinced it's a battery sucking distraction. I'll have to see if I can wrangle one up before launch to try it out.

 

[Doc Scurlock]

I bought the first PSP and didn't really care much for it. If I need to game on the go I'll just stick with my iPhone.

 

[DJCowboy]

I remember when I was really excited for the PSP when they came out. Bought it, played two games. It sat in my room for about 6 months. Then it was for sale at a used game store. Still don't regret that decision. So I'm very hesitant about this one. Can't wait to hear the price tag on it too.


But I do have my 3DS reserved!

Another thing to look out for is for hackers to jailbreak the PSP2 once it hits the market. :anonymous

 

[KillTheIndustry]

Anyone want to guess the price? I'll start the bidding at $499.

Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should.

 

[turtle825]

Nah, I'm no tech genius - I'm not gonna hack shit anytime soon, although Sony could bring in some experienced hackers to counterattack the jailbreakers for their products.

 

[L3ggy]

I meant hackers in general

 

[mrtrebus]

Is it 3D?

 

[Huckepack92]

Is it 3D?

no, it isn't... but it'll have a real nice oled touchscreen.

 

[Doc Scurlock]

no, it isn't... but it'll have a real nice oled touchscreen.

Whoa. That's pretty cutting edge.
