Anyone shocked as to how sony has managed to keep the final design and specs and such a relative secret till now? :P It blows my mind


what do you mean? we know it has 512MB RAM, an OLED touch screen, a rear multi-touch pad, 2 analog nubs, and ether a Nvidia  tegra 2 or PowerVR SGX543 based graphics chip with at least 2 GPU cores but more likely 4 (the iPhone 5 will have a duel GPU core design) with the powerVR chip being far more likely as Nvidia have not been able to get Tegra yields high enough and power consumption low enough. Also Devs have reported it can output "PS3 level graphics" and is a "really powerful machine" also Dev kits have been overheating and had to placed in larger cases with better cooling.

We know plenty about the still unannounced PSP2. Just because you haven't been following the rumours doesn't mean we don't know tones about it...


>_> oh I assure you, I'm sure I have followed the rumors way closely than you, heck I most probably posted a lot of those rumor articles in this site as well..you see I'm most probably one of the few huge fans of the psp on this site

and no none of the things you have said has been confirmed...we have seen many articles giving various specs about the psp2, from the design, to the media it will use to the processor and ram...

This article is the only 'solid' news we have had on the product for ages since the devs saying it's a powerful product, but if I remember correctly, devs have never said it can put out ps3 level graphics..they never said anything about the overheating or anything of the sort, that was also a rumor mainly brought forth by engadget

heck most of the stuff you said are rumors too, hence the few 'or's in your post, we knew plenty for certain about ps3 slim/psp Go this close to the reveal

so no, there are plenty of rumors, but no one is certain about the final product/design yet, some of the rumors might be true (if this OLED news is true then some rumors that claimed no touch on the front screen has been proven wrong already) but just because you jump to conclusions doesn't mean everyone else will either

all news until it's confirmed by SONY is rumour, so you meant by no PSP2 specs have been leaked, you meant you were surprised that SONY haven't published the PSP2's specs a device that SONY hasn't even officially confirmed yet? In what world is that surprising?

I think it will be $300 and will sell well. I dont think the 3g will become that big on the system caues people already pay for their cell phones and cable bills. Another monthly bill is asking a lot of the consumer. It will do well regardless.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

300$ for a handheld when I can pay 50$ less for that sweet 3DS and play Nintendo games? 249.99$ is the sweetspot but who knows this is Sony after all.

This is the first proper 'leak' there ever was..previous ones were of dev kits and such...or how a 'reliable' source said at one point how Tegra was causing issues, how at one point how the slider was causing issues, at one point there were the snapdragon processor, android based, non android base, all digital, mini blu ray etc etc

so what I'm saying is no one has a clear cut idea or anything close to it as to what the psp2 is like. And I'll also give an example of what's exactly the opposite of this situation, Xperia Play/zeus or w/e it will be named. We have good idea of the specs, design, videos of it etc etc....now THAT is a leak! again some rumors might prove to be true (at this point there is a rumor about pretty much all possibilities so it's bound to happen). THis news gets more cred cuz of the source but yea. Anywho it's a week away from now so as I said earlier we might hear more in a day or two ;)

Very true.  This is supposed to be announced in a few days and we still haven't got a vid or pic of the thing, only a very low quality pic of what is supposedly the dev kit.  And this statement about how the screen will be a touchscreen means that the previous rumors of there being a touchpad on the back are probably wrong.  I mean there would really be no purpose for it.

Wrong, wrong, they need stuff to make their product unique and the back trackpad is definitely one. So something like:

- OLED touchscreen

- Back trackpad

- Dual analogs

- Mic

- Motion sensitive

Equals ownage as far as controlling methods go.
