Would be better than trying the Digital Download only path, that's for sure!



Ugh, I want some card-based solution. Hope no optical media for the PSP2.

Definitely!

I really hope that this is true (not necessarily that they use mini BDs, but that it isn't just DD only).

Would be kinda cool, but not possible, I think they go with memorysticks instead.

Discs move too much :D BUT only if they use like a case and put the mini bluray in there...wait umd :P

This is beyond fail if true.

Disks = load time...time something you dont have when on the go.

The second reason why my PSP is modded(first being emulators) is because it games load twice as fast and battery lasts longer when UMD isn't used.



Hope not, it's like disolitude said about loading times and battery usage! They should go with digital and SD Cards, imo, and I don't see mini BR happening on PSP2.



Will keep with Sony's need for excruciating wait times on start up.



They should go with a cart based solution

Yeah well, SD cards would probably be better. But as I said, I would still prefer mini Blu-ray discs over digital download only. The PSP2 will probably have both at the same time anyway.
