No point in this then. I want a NEXT GEN PSP. I want one with DUAL STICKS. Accelerometer. Touch screen. Something to make it UP TO DATE. Oh crap, lets remove the UMD drive and make it a 'slider'. Boooooooooooo Sony! Boo! Damn Sony, no wonder you're doing so bad. Think I'll stick to my PSP-1000. Thanks. “Such is life we suppose”

For that reason, I sort of hope that Sony scraps the plans for an 8GB "PSP Go!" and just release them at 16GB and 32GB. 8GB is going to feel dated pretty fast, especially since Apple will probably have 16GB and 32GB iPod nanos by the time this launches...

That's a large screen to hold up when your main grip is at the bottom so your thumbs can reach the push-buttons. Maybe I'm overthinking it. Ergonomics on this mock-up may be an issue for me.

Capacity of UMDs is roughly 900mb, so with flash storage you're still limited to roughly 7-14 "full-length" games (given 8gb/16gb flash memory). Did any PSP game ever take advantage of all the storage, or was the capacity only used for the stupid UMD movies?

As far as a new MC format, not a chance sony loves to use their in house crap tech perfect example those friggin UMD's which im sure were nothing more than recycled minidiscs.
