Sony announces PSP2

[Scooter]

Losing backward compatibility with all my UMD-based games is a bummer, but the system sounds great. I suppose we can assume all support for the PSP to stop the instant the PSP2 hits the market. I can't imagine they will carry the PSP along like they did the PS2 once the successor arrives.

What if they priced a NON 3G at $250 to compete with the DS... WOW! Please sell at $250. LOL

It's possible that Sony will introduce a UMD add-on to allow people with existing UMDs to play them on the NGP.

I really don't see them doing this. They have already removed the backwards compatibility options from the newest Ps3 models, and they never mentioned doing anything like that for the PGPgo.

That Gravity game looks sick!

At least they finally gave us a second analogue stick. I'm actually interested to see how this thing turns out, it may be enough to finally make me buy a portable sony device for the first time.

This thing is as powerful as a PS3? Holy shit!

Well, I am not gonna get either the 3DS or PSP2 right away no matter what (lack of money to spend on new stuff, waiting for price drops and or newer models) but it looks nice enough that I would like to pick one up at some point. I could be a little bitch about the lack of a UMD drive, but hey that's what I spent 200 bucks on my PSP for! I'll just use that. I imagine that it would be backwards comptabitle with the PSP games already on the network so yeah.

I hope this things release will drop the PSP's price, so I can finally get one.

Same here; I really want to play some of the games on the handheld but has never really justified the price of one for only like 5 games.
