Good lord...this better be cost-efficient, and it must have a competitive price tag...because otherwise, Sony has learned nothing from this generation.

Screw PR bullshit and rumors,. Show it to me first.

Also, why is anyone trusting IGN? :p

Because this isn't the only rumor that hints at such.

But something tells the PSP2 will be exceedingly pricey.

What's your guess on its' price?

I think it could be between 299 and 399. More than 399 would immediatly kill its' sales (if rumours are true of course).

The heat coming from this device must be hot enough to burn fingers.  I'm serious.  My Droid already heats up when too many apps are running at once.  Imagine what would happen with a handhelp PS3.  And why so much power for a handheld?  The smaller screen already makes everything look great.  Why blow money punching up the visual so much if only a few will notice?  Too much work for too little return.  I'm gonna call bullshit on this rumor.  We'll see if I'm wrong (as usual) when this thing comes out.

Assuming that Sony want to make a profit on each one that they sell, I reckon that the price will be about $399

If its more than $299 then sony will get no money from me. Maybe sony will suprise us all and make the cost at $250?

If there's a cell phone plan involved, I can see them selling for as little as $100............but who doesn't have an awesome phone by now (speaking of the PSP audience).

Well, that's what I fear. But who knows, we'll see soon enough I guess.
