I’ve never played on the iPod Touch but I think it would be better on something like this anyways.

That accelerometer thing sounds like it would be an amazing improvement. It also won’t be to hard to get it to work with older games. Just make it act like a joystick when you turn it.

Well, the PSP2 would be something completely different (basically like PS3 is compared to PS2), but if it will come, it’s going to be a long time until then.

What I hope most for the PSP2 is not two analogue sticks, bigger screen (I’m very pleased with the current one), but an accelerometer! With the power of the PSP, just think of the possibilities! There could be driving/racing games where you steer by tilting the PSP, there could be “get-the-ball-in-the-hole” games where the PSP represents your table and you have to tilt it to get the ball in the hole, etc. etc. etc.!

I doubt a PSP-2 would be that much better than the PSP-1 anyway if they made it now. It wasn’t that long ago the PSP got a clock frequency boost. Besides, hardware-wise (CPU/GPU), it’s still unchallenged as far as I know.

I think one of the PSP’s biggest problems has been that it’s not very portable. Games come on huge UMDs, and the battery life (at least in the beginning) sucked. Even now, Sony’s pulled the extended battery kit and hasn’t re-released it. Ironically, the best way to counter these problems is with CFW, which enables piracy, so it’s sort of a lose-lose for Sony. At least they’re finally putting games for download on the PSN.

look at the DSI they added a few things, removed the slot for older games, and that is the easyest to pirate =P since you just plug and go, no way u can brick, no risk, cost money, but theres no risk, unlike the psp, where you got to make a battery, get a 2nd one so you dont brick, buy this get that xD u see my point

but i agree with the games, overall they suck =\
gundam vs gundam was a let down
prinny was hard as hell, and not very fun
no game besides bleach soul carnival got me to play for more than 2 hours =\ except prinny, that being said is a huge problem, i do think the software is lacking

2.0 had a big thing
3.0 had a small thing
4.0 had nothing
5.0 had a changed theme =\ and the PSN
overall the software post 3.0 has been security, and minor tweaks, or things to make older people want to update like Skype, and other region only apps, like go messenger

When they(sony) say they’re going to improve this generation of PSP, do they mean something better than the “improved” PSP 3000? Because putting minor new things into the system may not be considered as an improve version of the PSP models to me, fan of the PSP.

there wouldn’t be psp 3000 now what we have psp 3000 besides its not much improved
Sony would make new psp no matter how it would be called(4000 or 2)or they will die

@Chocolate: It is a Slim & Lite. Just a low budget version of one.

@sdwad: The wii can easily be pirated too. But still, that stop Sony from making the PSP systems.
