Now all we need is an L2 or R2 button's and we have a PS2 all over again, with bonus features of course.

Am I the only one who sees the stupidly long list of features and wonder what happened to just making a game system?

[nryn99]

so, this is the really the real thing?

 

[TheDestroyer]

[rockstar99]

so, this is the really the real thing?

yes

 

[TheDestroyer]

Playing uncharted nice.

 

[Goli]

Engadget has screens of the footage being shown of their current Uncharted playthrough.
It looks...
unreal.

No but really:

Sounds really impressive, but the final judgement is when they announce the pricing.

 

[nryn99]

but the card where you put games looks like an sd card but has a curve design. to prevent easy piracy?

 

[Joe88]

new UI

So it's what the PSP should have been in the first place. But I don't care much for the features list, because as always it will be the third party software and emulation that makes the system. I will get one if DaedalusX64 gets ported to it and works.

 

[DigitalDeviant]

that looks really nice. 3G and GPS wow!
what does NGP mean though?

NeoGeoPocket??

man I love my NGPC(Neo Geo Pocket Color)

on topic so is that the real design? If it is you can never go wrong with something based on the original psp design its a sleek candy bar, mmmm.

Anyone else think the device itself is absolutely hideous?
