The reason I have some hope for the PSP2 is because its not been speced yet. Which means there is potential for them to get it right. They _could_ do a lackluster 'upgrade' to the PSP, or they could wow us with a 720p screen, dual nubs or touch nubs, and do the smart thing by dumping UMD. So until they make the release statement and cruelly dash my dreams, my hopes will carry me aloft.

....now before I respond to this, what do you hold as the appropriate game distribution alternative to UMD?

Secure SD/Sony Micro Stick and pure digital downloads. I would be going with the downloads. UMD adds mechanical complexity that is uneeded. UMD as a format did not and will not ever take the world by storm. The physical medium needs of the minority gamer base need to be satiated elsewhere by either some form of flash stick like Nintendo has been doing since forever, or not doing it at all.

So you contrast a "lackluster upgrade" with a 720p screen, dual or touch nubs, and full digital distribution?

Man you are asking for a sorta-kinda upgrade to the PSPGo. Shit, you're asking for an iGo, if you will.
