Forums - Sony - Would you buy the PSP2 if

cmeese47 on 28 May 2010

I am personally scared and excited for the new PSP.

Must have:
32 gb or larger hard drive
Netflix streaming
Free 4G access (See Sprint-Kindle)
Ability to Multitask
Touch Screen
Built in Camera
Skype
UMD Drive or connector for backwards compatability
Apps (Since the Apple App store is out, I would contact google and get droid support)
Built in Microphone or bundle bluetooth headset
Dual Analog sticks
Must be as hard or harder to pirate than the PS3

Highly recommended:
Trophy support
Priced the same as the PSP GO
Pre-bundled game 
Custom firmware detection
Facebook-Twitter connectivity

Will all of these features the PSP2 could be a direct competitor to the Iphone, you could make calls and text, take pictures, buy apps, watch movies and play awesome games with real controls. It would be much cheaper as well.

It will probably have 4g capability
It will probably have a big hard rive
It will probably have a camera and a touchscreen since it's going to be an Iphone ripoff in the first place

However, I wouldn't put too much into the games part of it, sincce if the Iphone is any indication of how much the processor can handle to have phone abilities, multitasking, and present a decent game, it probably won't be a great gaming machine. But it will be grrrreat from a business point of view which is good b/c sony needs profit like a drunk needs a schlitz.

I would buy it if it was backward compatible and a phone...

Just give me the PSPGo with 64GB, a touch screen, camera, and some cool features like playing your own music in-game at @ 250$ and we cool.

Instead of a free packed in game, how about a code for 40$ of PSN credit so we can pick out or own game or a few cheap games.

Also, you people wanting packed-in games or what have you are out of this world. The phone would be huge if it came with a UMD drive, and I highly doubt that there would be a UMD player app or a coupon for one in every phone unless you want the thing to cost $500. Expect a dd only PSP2.

I think it would be cool if Sony made a game or two for the Android in exchange for access to the droid market. Or something like that for Sprint for free 4g. Its a win win

250 price tag would be awesome but i doubt that, it will be 300 at least

Must have:
32 gb or larger hard drive - Expect this or higher, possibly 2 SKUS base model 32GB, premium/phone model 64GB
Netflix streaming - Expected since netflix app is appearing everywhere
Free 4G access (See Sprint-Kindle) - Expect it only for the premium/phone model, basic model Wifi on b/g/n network
Ability to Multitask - Can you elaborate on this? 
Touch Screen - If it doesn't have at least a 5 point multi touch functionality, Sony might as well not bother releasing the PSP2
Built in Camera - Same as above, this is a minimum
Skype - Already in PSP1, so this is 100% sure
UMD Drive or connector for backwards compatability - Wishful thinking IMO, PSP2 will be BC with PSP1, PSN, PS1 and Game Archive and PS1 games through DD PSN only, UMD is going the way of the dodo. I do expect PSP2 games to be sold on read only flash cards.
Apps (Since the Apple App store is out, I would contact google and get droid support) - A given, I actually expect the PSP2 will have access to the Android App store, or Sony will have its own app store tab on the PSN store or both
Built in Microphone or bundle bluetooth headset - Microphone is already built in on the PSP, this is a given, as is bluetooth support since that was on the go, don't expect a headset bundle though
Dual Analog sticks - Expect it 
Must be as hard or harder to pirate than the PS3 - Obvious

Highly recommended:
Trophy support - Given that MS is putting achievements on WM7 and App is having achievements on iphones, this is a given
Priced the same as the PSP GO - Ideal for the base model 
Pre-bundled game - Maybe
Custom firmware detection - Highly unlikely
Facebook-Twitter connectivity - Highly likely

Will all of these features the PSP2 could be a direct competitor to the Iphone, you could make calls and text, take pictures, buy apps, watch movies and play awesome games with real controls. It would be much cheaper as well.

My thoughts. Also needs a GPS app, also tv out that outputs games/videos at 720p on your tv and possibly a portable projector where you can project images out of your PSP2 like some phones have it now. This would be perfect for lots of people that would love to play PSP games but hate handhelds, this way you could play the games on your TV or with the portable projects and with a DS3 using bluetooth.

If it is going to priced like an Iphone then I want similar features
