Any guesses on how long after it goes on sale before it gets cracked?

I’ll say a year…

…so the PS emulation can run on any android devices? that would mean future Blackberry phones can too!!!

*waits for the QNX BB OS…*

The NGP looks quite awesome indeed, except for the 3G thing (Sony mentioned there’d be a version that’s wifi-only) and I dread to think of the MSRP. The way Sony phrased how much it was going to cost sounded like “The hardware is awesome and you’ll pay appropriately for it.” :|

If it can maintain a price around $300 USD, I’d be all over it.

You know… I just realized that the NGP’s operating system looks suspiciously like Android. And it will even support the new PlayStation Suite service that was announced for Android…

@exaltdragon You realize that the Switchblade is vapourware right? Razer calls it a “concept” and has made no statement that they will actually release it as a product.

If the NGP is capable of producing PS3-level graphics and performance, I’d rather have SEGA WOW develop Valkyria Chronicles 4 on the PS3 instead. The main reason why the 2nd and 3rd game are on the PSP is because of the greatly reduced time and cost; the developers wanted to play it safe.

Of course, I don’t really know how costly developing a game for the NGP will be, but I can only wish that I’ll be able to play another VC game on the PS3! :P

Thanks for the info. I am just hoping it will have phone features so my deliberation between this and Razer’s Switchblade will be settled. The best would be if they learnt a thing or two from the homebrew community of PSP1-3000 when they implement the software too!

this is a ds + iphone hybrid is my prediction. THE ANALOG STICK CHANGE….

is fucking awesome. I have the old psp which i hardly play…. I should have sold that thing ages ago… Anyways, the nub thing is really crappy and people never use it because it breaks easily. I have mine in nice casing so that hasn’t happened yet… also, I think the PSP2 should be a PS3 + ipod touch. Wait even better, PSP (subtext “h”)
Playstation Phone!!! They just make a deal with Skullcandy and walla you can make calls even in the middle of your game. Damn, just think of all the otakus that would buy that thing. This is basically the pfp except better. A keyboard is not practical considering how much space that keyboard would take that the game system itself needs. Having a touchpad solves it and allows a new way to play PS3 games. Fps games will never be the same. With motion detectors, OMG. I can no swing my PS3 around to move my camera instead!! JK that wouldn’t work because I my throw it accidentally and it would be very disorienting. However, a simple rolling ball into target hole in wooden maze app would be cool.

Out of all the specs that make me excited, the one that does so the most is the OLED. :| About time a mainstream handheld console got one of those besides the ‘Gamewiz.’ XD

Now, if only they could model it after the PFP…

I was expecting them to name it the PlayStation 2 Portable, the PS2P.

Maybe cuz they want to let us know that it’s not a mere psp2 it’s a NEXT gen psp2 :) This is why a new name will suit it better. It’s a promising product, just hope the support will be as promising as the specs are.
