    A Mylo2 for gaming. It’s not the console it’s the games that make the console. That’s why the DS is and always will be better than the PSP. The games are original innovative and fun.

    So I assume it doesn’t have a touch screen and the controls will always have to be used, so what’s the point of being able to hide them?

    Ok so I don’t have a PSP and I’ve been waiting for an updated PSP to come out. Now that it has I have one question, if its UMD-less what does that mean with old games? Im not gonna buy a PSP and not be able to play old games. Has there been any hints of a download of old games or am I missing something?

    slide controls need front buttons or a touch screen.. the only way this setup works is if the device would be used mainly for movies..

    Yawn .. the first PSP has ok and the main reason it never sold is price and lack of games. Anytime any company drives to leverage their device as more then a game or the primary focus its core users want it usual winds up a failure (see PS3).

    If this is $149 or lower I’d be interested as long as some developers other then Sony started making games.

    i dont see how this could compete with the new psp which has a bigger screen and what looks like better controls or the new ds which is very hi tech but very innovative.. i doubt psp or ds people would buy.. im almost 100 percent its a touch screen..

    Memory stick micro? Seriously Sony? You’re making a pretty big revision of your hardware, going UMD-less in the process, and you decide against using a more common memory format, like, I dunno, MicroSD, which is everywhere?

    I’m a bit confused. What exactly is mobile phone tethering referring to for this device? Being able to use the phone as a modem to connect to the internet or am I missing the whole thing here?
