Looks a tad weird tbh but it's gonna be a must buy because of this...

Thoughts on it?
Features:
3G Network
LiveArena which means you can detect NGPs in the area

Those are some tiny ass buttons.

Any video of it?

[NickRad]

Pretty sucky video buy here

Also apparently it's been re named the NGP

The PSP2 – or, as it’s being called temporarily, the Next Generation Portable – will as expected play nice with cellular data networks via a 3G connection. Here’s what that means for your gaming. Sony will be implementing a service alongside the new handheld called LiveArea, which in conjunction with an “app” called Near is able to detect at all times other PSP2 (or NGP) owners in your area. It’ll show what people around you are playing, chat with NGP owners in the area, display rankings for games based on who’s around, etc. The picture above shows how LiveArea’s user interface works, each “bubble” representing whatever a person in your vicinity is using.

Well, I'd buy one and set it aside until its hacked I guess.

[NickRad]

The 3DS and this is going to be a hard choice but I'll probably get both

[finn4life]

I would get the DS so i could play pokemon, its strangely addictive.

R* making games for the PSP2 confirmed

[Futurama_Freak1]

Well they'd want to get in early before all the pirating.

Gonna have to be something incredibly good they're coming out with; the iPhone is miles ahead of them at the minute.

edit: whats more important is battery life, price, and I'm assuming you'll need some sort of data plan to get on that 3g network

double joy sticks? sweet. Dont look the look of those other tiny buttons. They should all be shifted down a bit. Also I hope a major improvement is the durability, the psp1 was so fragile, and it got dust under the screen so easy. If they take some points from apple on the construction of it, lose the UMD drive, this could be a great handheld.

PSP2




When PSP first launched in 2005 in North America it changed the way people thought of portable gaming and raised expectations in regards to the variety and quality of games users expected to access while on the go. It has since become the go-to handheld entertainment system for more than 64 million users who seek home entertainment quality games along with access to their music, movies, photos and more.
With NGP we carry on this rich history of redefining industry standards and raising the bar for consumer expectations for what portable gaming can deliver. Designed to blur the lines between interactive entertainment and reality, the NGP will offer Wi-Fi and 3G network connectivity. The 5-inch OLED front multi-touch display will bring brilliant images to life and the multi-touch pad on the rear will allow users to engage with the game and characters with a simple movement of their fingertips. Additionally, services created specifically for NGP will be available on PlayStation Network. These services are designed help users take their gameplay, as well as interaction with other gamers, to new levels.

While we here at PlayStation are thrilled to bring this cutting-edge technology to your fingertips, we all know that content is critical to the success for all of our platforms. I’m pleased to share that your favorite franchises will be coming to NGP, including Uncharted and Call of Duty. We are working with our extensive network of 3rd party developers and publishers as well as SCE Worldwide Studios to create experiences unlike anything else on the market.
Also announced this evening was PlayStation Suite, an entirely new initiative from PlayStation that will provide fans with the opportunity to enjoy PlayStation content on an open operating system for the first time in PlayStation history. PlayStation Suite will work with Android based, “PlayStation Certified” portable devices – including mobile phones, smart-phones, and tablet PCs – to offer “PlayStation quality” content to users worldwide. In addition to providing a selection of PS one Classics, we are also working with developers to create new and exciting content that will be available on both PlayStation Certified devices and the new NGP when it comes to market
I think you will agree that the incredible momentum behind PlayStation continues to grow with each passing year. While 2010 was record breaking thanks to an unsurpassed line-up of award winning AAA software, the introduction of 3D entertainment into millions of homes and the launch of our incredibly successful PlayStation Move motion controller, 2011 is already shaping up to be one of our biggest years yet.

It's a big ass handheld. I mean just look:



Oh and by the way, Sony's not calling it the PSP2, yet. It's still 'NGP' for now.

I'd kind of like something more original. But SA wouldn't be bad tho.
