Plausible at best. I dont doubt sony is working on the psp2 but Im thinking that we're looking at an earyl 2011 release window because I bet there going to make the psp go as the "missing link" between the 3000 and psp2. The go is sort of the middle point because they will eventually go all digital and i think the psp2 will be that flagship model.

As for the specs, im impressed cuz they need to have some serious hardware to compete with apple

I think it'll happen, most people I know haven't picked up a Go, and many have given up the PSP a long time ago. To me the Go just seems like an experiment, to test out the idea of pure digital distribution. The PSP is reaching its 5th birthday and it really is beginning to show it's age. Many like myself are clamoring for an upgrade, trophy support, friends list on the go. Come on Sony, bring the rain!

the PSP2 want be all digital. actually i want be surprised if Sony have a UMD and DD version. the reason y is because retailers already not fans of PSPGo. Kaz said they keep supporting the physical format. I just hope PSP2 has 1. BC 2. 2 analog sticks 3. bigger faster umd drive 4.built in memory with MEMORY STICK support 5. same sized as PSP 2000/3000 6. in game xmb support 7. should be powerful enough to run PS2 games 8. good battery life 9. Rumble 10. Six axis makes sense on handheld $250 or less. oh yeah, if the PSP 2000/3000 cant fit ur pocket, that means your pants are too tight.

I hope they stick with physical games, but use cartridges/memcards instead of UMDs. And I want it to have the clamshell design like Gameboy Advance SP and DS. I'm not a fan of the slider.

I hope they keep it the same size as the psp go, add 2 analog sticks, internal memory and umd drive (to have the option of weither you want to copy or download), backwards compatiblity, bluetooth, and better wi-fi

I dont want a clamshell but I definitely want cartridges/memcards instead of UMDs but the PSPgo is the big test whether we will see physical games in the future.

The amount of memory they can fit on little cards like the ms pro duo is insane, compared to UMDs. There would be no reason to use them anymore. They will probably use something similiar to a ms pro duo to store games on.

2010 is a bit early, but it would explain why the GO is the middle man by relying on digital content - backwards compatibility shouldn't be an issue with the PSN store. I still don't understand why everyone thinks Apple is a threat, but with new revised hardware the PSP2 won't have to worry. My hopes are pure digital content with the option to purchase the game via vending machine style. You can select every new/ newer/ greatest hits games since terabyte drives will store compressed versions of titles and you purchase them at regular price without needing any special equipment except your PSP2 (machine would have the transfer/charging cables). Older or less popular games would have to be purchased via PSN and you wouldn't be able to resell titles, but these are the only two downsides I can think of.

I only hope for backwards compatibility. Through PSN or otherwise.

Edit: A thought just occurred to me. Who wants to bet the next PSP will be priced at $500? Haha!

Agreed. Everyone complained about how big the PSP was, but my 2000 fits perfectly in my pocket. Oh. And I agree with your other ideas.

I think the PSP2 may come out in 2011-2012 or along with the next gen of consoles. I wonder what storage medium they will use, i hope its not all digital downloads :?

Hmmm...Just when I was about to purchase a Go, too.... I'm hoping for all DD (UMD sucks so much) with internal memory, 2 analogs, roughly same size as GO (It's not that they don't fit in my pants, the psp 3000 just leaves a huge bulge that can be somewhat awkward when running). At the very least hopefully Sony can think of a better physical format then UMD, and keep the original PSP games download only. PS2 backward compatibility would be beautiful. Finally, hopefully we can get the same friend list/xmb system as the PS3, which would make it awesome. Besides the obvious graphics improvement, that's really all I need.

Two analogs is all Im asking for but they will probably go with a touch screen , seeing how well it works on the ipod - you could project any button you need on the screen.The game needs two analogs - it projects two analogs , the game needs a wigally-woo it projects a wigally-woo

It will still need shoulder buttons IMO

I hope it has L1, R1, L2, R2, and to make everyone happy, a second analog nub. I'd also like a touchscreen and hope it comes with a stylus. I hate getting finger oil on screens. I hope it comes in a clamshell design in order to protect the screen when not in use. I really love this on the DS and hope Sony decides to do it, too. It would be nice to have at least 32gb or 64gb of internal storage. Maybe they could have a 32gb version and a 64gb version that sells for slightly more. I'd like for it to have cheap memory cards. And a 5" screen would be really nice as well.

Touchscreen and stylus would be the worst thing that could happen to the PSP.

No. The go just came out although the 3000 came out a couple of months after the 2000 but no they just came out with the go. It'll be like sony forgot to put something on the psp like "Ok the psp is finished!" a couple of months later "Oh wait I just thought of something lets come out with a new version with a little tweak".

Yeah it's going to happen in 2010. At the least I know they have the technology right now to build a PSP2 that could easily play all ps2 games.

the PSP2 needs: -2 analog sticks -NO TOUCH SCREEN, they suck for gaming -built in memory as well as a slot for expandable memory -UMD! it needs physical copies of games or I won't buy it. -Same size as PSP3000 -More big titles release for the psp, would have loved to see a different version of killzone 2 and uncharted on psp. as far as it being released in 2010, it is not very likely. 2011 at the earliest.

I just spend $170 on my psp so 2011 release for a newer and hopefully improved psp sounds good to me.
