In addition to this, I would add that in my opinion PSP has my favorite (maybe outside my fanboyism they are the best) Ridge Racer and Wipeout in the series when were released. Something I never found in the home console DS games.tzare said:
In addition to the quality of these games, Ridge Racer PSP games featured almost all the content previously in the series, and with PSP debuted flawless on-line multiplayer, creative new game modes, awesome soundtracks, customizable textures for the ships (you add your own image) and (even free) DLC for first time in Wipeout series.
These aren't watered down ports.
In the case of Wipeout, now Wipeout HD may be the best one.

Don't forget best Twisted Metal game too, I thought Head On was the best of 2 and Black combined, plus it even had online multiplayer. Many folks thought the Syphon Filter games on PSP were better than the old Syphon Filter games that came out previously as well.
And again many people thought
Ghost of Sparta > GoW3
Killzone Libaration > Killzone console games
Resistance Retribution > Resistance 2
Anyway I really hope Modnation Racers is a fleshed out game and improved from the PS3 version, the game has potential to be a big game for NGP.
EDIT: I don' know if it was better than the old console version but Burnout Legends was one of my favorite near launch games for PSP along with Twisted Metal and Lumines. Something about playing a Burnout game on a handheld that looked and felt nearly like console version, I remember being blown away by Burnout Legends graphics and the gameplay was so addicting.

BTW if I was already wet with the idea of a new Wipeout coming soon, now having the possibility to get two I'm oficially overhyped.
I think here Modnation Racers can be included in the "watered down" ports list. Even it's a good game, PSP version is a direct port with some removed features when compared to the PS3 version, and doesn't reach the superb quality of some PSP games of the same genre.KAL2006 said:

I don't know why people are expecting MP from NGP Uncharted.
If you want MP, you'll probably need to buy Uncharted 3.

mobile-review, a pretty well known source of information regarding smartphones and mobile technology, says NGP will be 250 for the wi-fi only and 350 for the 3g equipped one.

i don't know how much truth there is to it, but the guy running this site isn't known for making shit up. he has his vision on many things, but doesn't make up datas just to prove his points.

I can't think why they'd price them that close together. Expect a bigger storage card and other junk, and we don't know about contracts yet.French said:

it will probably be that wi-fi only version won't have internal memory (you'll have to buy it separately) while the 3g one will have 16 or 32 gigs of built in memory.
i thought before that sony would launch 3 skus, one with no memory, one with memory and a third one with memory and 3g, but i think they'll go the 2 skus route.
hopefully the memory cards won't be priced like gold, i expect a mark-up from normal memory cards with same specs, but i'm still hopeful we won't be raped like with hard discs on x360.

because expands its lifetime, and if it succeeds, DLC will exist and that is interesting for sony financially.
And ii hope it can be played both ad-hoc and online hopefully, and the first one is something that is usually lacking in home console versions, split screen is not the most common option these days.
In fact, NGP will , probably, the first fully online portable, even if it doesn't have crossgame chat, just having the same online features PS3 has, it adds a whole other layer of fun. BT headset, NGP, online fun. Even in the WC

$100 difference is massive, but I would get the 2G version since 3G seems to be going the way of the dinosaur. I like how we keep hearing end of the year! Does HSG technically have to go to JPN first though, that would have been a great launch title.
Like I have said in other threads I think every SKU will come with at least 16GB memory, if Sony are serious about their PSN store like iOS then they have to have memory on all SKUs, remember every game will be release digitally on the same day as retail, then lets not forget they will sell videos, PSN games, PSP/PS1 classics and PS Suite games/apps, DLC on the PSN store. A 16GB can be easily filled up with only 4 NGP games, in which case you either have to empty the fridge or buy a memory card.
I'm already hyped for Uncharted 3 multiplayer, if Uncharted NGP had multiplayer all I would be doing is playing Uncharted 3 multiplayer in the living room, then playing Uncharted NGP multiplayer in the bedroom. I was one of the few who really enjoyed Uncharted 2 multiplayer, it was my fav online shooter this gen.
For folks who doubt Bend with Unchartewd, here is a review of Resistance Retribution

Looking at the review it seems that they done a better job than insomniac, it's only a shame they had to work with underpowered hardware and 1 analog nub.

It would have been cool if Uncharted 3 multiplayer was the same as Uncharted NGP multiplayer and it was cross compatible (same stats, same rankings, same perks, play against PS3 and NGP players and etc). However I doubt this will happen because it seems the multiplayer in Uncharted 3 is going to be graphically demanding (they said they are going to have cinematic events similar to campaign in multiplayer) and I doubt NGP could handle the graphics, even if they do try to downgrade. I think cross compatible multiplayer between NGP and PS3 would only work for less graphically demanding games like Tekken, Street Fighter, COD, Twisted Metal and etc.

$250 was always the most likely price for anyone with a head on his shoulders.
Hopefully it doesn't take long to go under $200.

I have no interest in Uncharted or Killzone on my NGP id rather have the single play campaign on my massive T.V and PS3 and I just can't see myself ever voting for a small screen in Multi-player as an option...well that's a lie... though I would still but them cause I'm a sucker for those games but I wouldn't be happy about it. 
I'm really hoping for new IP's to make use of all the control options I think that is NGP's greatest strength not actually its hardware power.
Cannot wait for the Sony PS3 conference to see what this thing is really capable of.

Comparing it to the 3DS and the capabilities of the devices, one of the two devices was $50 too much. The NGP can even play media and stuff right out the gate and the launch list makes it more than worth it.
SSJ1Goku said:
They're not going to have the potential to outsell the 3DS is any market outside of Japan. That doesn't mean they can't be an extremely healthy second place, which means there is no reason to bleed money. They'll likely be bleeding money, or on the verge at $250, any more is suicide (though what was the PS3?).

Has this site broken any news on a dedicated gaming handheld before? If I had to guess, I'd say that he just took the prices from that Ubisoft survey a few months back as fact, especially since he just offhandedly mentions the supposed pricing as though it's already public knowledge, rather than hyping it up as an exclusive scoop.
$250 isn't completely outside the realm of possibility, but I'll believe it when Sony announces it (or when a more credible source than a no-name mobile site reports it, whichever comes first).
