At this point, buying any PSP, be it Go or 3000, is based upon the current line up of existing software, along with announced future titles in development. Anyone who buys one with the idea that it's going to continue to be SCE's handheld platform for years to come is only setting themselves up for the inevitable "but I just bought one" rant when the PSP2 is announced.
It's virtually a given that SCE will drop UMD as a form of game distribution with the next PSP, so the big question remains whether this PSP2 will be BC with digital distro PSP games.
It shouldn't be a tall order though from a technical standpoint unless the PSP2 uses a completely different hardware architecture. Plus with all the PSP games currently on PSN, it makes more sense for them to continue drawing sales from that existing library until there is a decent PSP2 game library.
Either way, the PSP will likely remain the first, only and last device to play UMD games.
