NGP (PSP2) announced!

[Joe88]

Battery life of only 4 hours

its an unconfirmed rumor

also you might want to remove that site since there is a lot of porn and hentai images on there

it's only worth if it had an anti-theft feature, like F-Secure for Symbians. Sending text messages with it's position.

So you just completely ignored that post which highlighted a good wealth of worthwhile GPS features featured just to say "Well, it's only worth it if it has anti-theft".

Nice job!

 

[TM2-Megatron]

were the 4G ?

It's not implemented since it's not available everywhere in the selected countries especially in rural areas of the US.

Also, how much more do you want it to cost? Even 3G is superfluous; a good Wi-Fi signal is a better and cheaper option.

The thing is nobody in the states or Europe will use the GPS, most of us have consoles for gaming only (maybe a planner or calendar for some).

I didn't like the "big brother" feature. We already have Google for this.

$400-600? Maybe.
$50-60 a month with AT&T on a 2 year contract for use of your 3G?
Also possible.

I'm a Nintendo Fanboy at heart so consider me too biased.

3G/WiFi, etc... why, that's something my phone already does.
Touch Screen? Covered by the 3DS I'll have soon.
ZOMGPS3GRAPHIX - Already got a PS3. Not a huge fan either. It's not bad, though.

But the real, OMGWTFBBQ of the situation? PSP2 games are PS3 compatibile. So to clarify, your new games are going to run on a [hacked] system that most Sony Fanboy's already own?

Get a PSP2? Not on your life. I'll play its games at home on my PS3 and take my 3DS and phone with me.

Design doesn't look bad; whether I choose to get one or not remains to be seen.

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

NeoGeoPocket??

You know, the same thought crossed my mind when I saw that.

True

I doubt that price will be that expensive (50-60 a year which is $5-$6 a month at the most, remember this is a game console not a phone).

Looks like there's finally going to be a a good chance we'll get decant snes emu on a handheld.

50-60 a YEAR? No way.

AT&T and pretty much every major wireless carrier in the States/Canada want about $70 a month for a plan with unlimited 3G. and they can't cut the PSP2 too much of a break because what would be stopping you from getting stuff like google talk and Skype on your phone? No, they'll have to charge you aggressively to use it or put extreme caps on either speed or maximum bandwith usage each month.

[before you point out that it's clunky to be making phonecalls on and has no microphone, that's right, bluetooth enabled.]

 

[rikuumi]

2 analog sticks, trophies and proper friends list. Everything I asked for!

iPad is not a phone and it cost $30 a month for 3g on it...

The bolded option is what's most likely to happen. Also, making a phone call with the NGP will seem weird at best.

Next Generation Portable

 

[codmaster]

If the graphics is really like the PS3 then could they make a PS2 or a Xbox(Normal) emulator on it ?
Also I heard that it has 1GB of RAM while other PSP had 64 MB lol
And the Xbox 360 Has 512 so its Better Perfomance than X360 ?
Also how long would the battery lasts if it has PS3 like graphics ?

 

[Relf]

The only 2 xbox emulators have little done for them and haven't progressed in a year+. I'd not hold my breath for that...

Well, seeing how the PS3 can't run PS2 games...

I kid, I kid.

According to Eurogamer, 4-5 hours.
