Well that sounds cool and a good add for the PSP. I heard of this before but not for a psp...hmm anyway Only time will tell if this is true or not.

Well, this sounds fun, but I just don't think PSP is a good console to use this in.

C'mon, to me, it looks like an ideal feature for casual games. And who's the king of casual games? Nintendo, of course.

I think this just won't do any good to PSP's main titles - shooters, actions, etc.

It's not a PSP add-on, it's talking about the PSP2.

Also, nice subtle Nintendo fanboyism.

Okay, the PSP mockup looks fucking sick.
If Sony sold that...

They would easily monopolize the hand-held market with style alone.
But only if it was made larger.
That layout looks way to small for my hands.

Ehh, it depends on the scale, really. It might be pretty damn big (like the DSi XL.)

The reports state that it looks like a PSP-3000. That mock pic is pretty old.
No, it states that it's size will be like the 3000.

I'm sure Sony put it in the back for some kind of use. You can quite obviously guess that it most likely won't be used for (most) games.
Time will tell!

I don`t know why nobody thought about this: What would happen when you fold a DS to the other side... Where would the Touchscreen be? Right, behind the topscreen (in that case that would be the frontscreen when the device is folded)!!!

So it could very well be some kind of folded device. Unfolded it would be just like the DS but folded it would have the Touch- and the other screen on its respective site.

But seems to be unlikely, since it seems they don`t use a proper TS rather then one of those touch-sensitive touch-penals. How they want to implement that in games makes me very curious...

Overall I think this is very very unlikely to be implemented in the next PSP!
