If it can play PS2 games on the go (like PSP and PS1 games), will buy regardless of price.

 

[Nirolak]

Hmm, you got my attention. Need to see it non-blurry in motion though.

By Killzone, do they mean like Liberation, or FPS?

It looked like an FPS.

 

[Barakov]

I never had problems with the PSP being uncomfortable but I'll have to hold one of these in my hand to see how it is. I'm so glad two analog sticks are on there. So glad.

The price on this thing is going to be through the roof.

 

[LevityNYC]

show details!

Now begins the wait for the main questions: Battery Life, Price, and (for me at least) Pocketability.

Good luck getting that thing in your pocket. You'll need a safe to carry that thing around in.

 

[Alex]

I don't like the touch screen stuff, but the rest sounds pretty golden, hopefully the software backing is in the same ballpark as the original PSP, that thing has been my favorite non-PC platform for years.

 

[CB3]

Tech is nice. I like some of the features. But the design is fucking awful. Price point will be the deciding factor

Why are the buttons so small LOL

 

[legend166]

Well, it's certainly a Sony piece of hardware.

 

[GhaleonQ]

Here's hoping for good Japanese games and good non-blockbuster games on a seemingly big budget device.

 

[DanteFox]

*looks up OLEDs on wikipedia*
yeah this things gotta cost a fortune. It's just gotta.

should have been first post

[user friendly]

It looked like an FPS.

Oh god, I need a pic of this.


Wouldn't mind some direct feed PR shots Sony...

 

[Zzoram]

With all that tech, why didn't they throw in a phone too? They've got the 3G anyways, and it would save people the trouble of carrying around another device and paying for 2 data plans.

 

[LevityNYC]

Alright! Location based services for all of us Americans who take trains to work / school every day and carry >$500 dedicated video game handhelds..... oh wait....

 

[Kibbles]

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Wow, take MY money. I actually am enjoying the design. Sure it's nothing spectacular, but it looks enough like the PSP which I thought worked out. Dual analogs though, holy shit!!!

 

[Emitan]

I love portable gaming, but I'm not paying a cent over $300. Which I'm doubting this will cost.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Yea, its godly tech.

 

[Vinterbird]

Oh god, I need a pic of this.

Killzone:

 

[StuBurns]

I think it looks awesome. I'd rather the sticks be above the dpad/facebuttons, but otherwise, it's pretty much exactly what I'd hoped for.

 

[KaYotiX]

looks cool, its what the PSP SHOULD of been (minus touch screen of course) price will make or break it, as will software. Companies see how games dont sell on the PSP so why should they develop for this? Especially when the 3DS will sell a shit ton.

Time will tell.

 

[The M.O.B]

I was hoping for more than downports of PS3 games, I need some directfeed screenshots STAT!

 

[Smokey]

I'm calling $350. No way this is $300 with the 3DS being $250.

I wouldn't be surprised if it launched at $399 either.

 

[Cmagus]

looks nice although they really should be showing this in a high def stream kind of has less impact right now considering the only stream and images aren't great.Needs a price and a good trailer which I am sure is coming after the conference

 

[Jea Song]

This thing has to be at least $500. Think about it, how much does a retail iphone 4 go for? NGP is much more impressive tech wise.

 

[Rahxephon91]

Fucking amazing Sony. Looks great.

 

[Mdk7]

Fuck it doesn't look that confortable to hold, yet those features are giving me a huge hard on.
The real drawback's gonna be the price... this thing will be like 599$.

 

[Dabanton]

No surprise the route Sony has taken with this. Games look good though.

 

[Mr. B]

 

[user friendly]

Killzone:

Clutches chest.

 

[Cuban Legend]

PSP Backwards compatibility and 8+ hours battery or GTFO with this shit, Sony.

 

[outunderthestars]

want want want

I am not conviced that the 3DS will sell a shit ton, it will sell out at launch but I don't think it will be able to keep selling out especially from everything I've seen of it.

 

[Castor Krieg]

I think it looks awesome. I'd rather the sticks be above the dpad/facebuttons, but otherwise, it's pretty much exactly what I'd hoped for.

Yes, WTF Sony!!! Put them ABOVE the buttons!

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Looks OK, but no God of War = no buy

 

[Kodiak]

2 ANALOG STICKS
UNCHARTED
HI RES SCREEN
BRUSHED PLASTIC
NO UMD

FUUUUUUUU I WILL PAY WHATEVER YOU WANT FOR THIS THING SONY

 

[Lightning]

Yeah, I will so buy this provided the software support this there. Don't give a fuck about price.

 

[Zzoram]

If it's anything under $399 they're selling it at a loss.

They should offer a phone model for $50 more or something. It seems like it has everything a smartphone does except the phone. I would replace my smartphone with this if it had decent battery life and was a phone.

 

[LevityNYC]

In all seriousness, based on the screen and the rear touch panel, its gonna be at least $499, possibly more.

 

[jambo]

You copied my post >_>

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

I'm very curious to hear about PSP backwards compatibility.

Releasing a year from now should help the costs, yes? Still not seeing it priced anywhere close to sane.

 

[Cmagus]

If they come in cheap they have a great chance of stealing nintendo's thunder and being a strong competitor against iphone especially if its easily accessible to developers big and small.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

downloadable psp titles work on NGP

 

[RadioHeadAche]

If it can play PS2 games on the go (like PSP and PS1 games), will buy regardless of price.

This would be a huge deciding factor for me, but because I hardly use the PSP I own, I have to take the price into consideration. That, and any PSP2 games that I would want.

 

[kuYuri]

PSP BC confirmed!

"Of course you can play downloadable PSP titles on NGP."

EDIT: beaten

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

downloadable psp titles work on NGP

Great, now throw BBS up there and I'm on board.

 

[StuBurns]

If SE don't bring Agito XIII to PSN, the office will be knee deep in blood.

Its like an iPod Touch except more powerful, with real analog sticks, and buttons.

NO MORE CLAW! (while playing monster hunter)

 

[Zzoram]

HAHAHA.

The tech in this thing sounds twice as expensive as what's in the 3DS. The PSP2 will be $399 at the cheapest.

 

[scitek]

Switch the left analog and D-pad around. The space from the edges to hold the thing while playing with the analogs will be uncomfortable just like the PSP too, I bet.

 

[Jaagen]

Is it just me, or is the console just ugly. Like the 3DS, the design is very unappealing in comparison to how it looked last gen. To me, the PSP and DSi looks a lot better.

(still want this and the 3DS, though)

EDIT: And the UI is just ugh...
