PSP2 Price and Release date leak If it really is that price then im def getting one, i think its pretty reasonable for the amount of tech packed into it

Link

Im afraid to say that the info is merely a placeholder.
$300 is possible (would equate to us at about R3000 when finally released here).

The date: not a chance. No company would be stupid to release a product on the first day of the year.

So, I'm dubious of the info unfortunately.

yeah the date is an unknown thats why they they placed it at 01/01/12
as for the price, i think its very possible, they cant price to much higher than the 3DS otherwise it wont sell..so i think 300 is a good bet

how is 300$ possible for a hand held console? that's ludicrous...

A regular HD console that does more besides ..being able to hold in your hands while you play COST less.

Well I got the PSP Goand I'm glad I got the Go...and pardon me for saying but I was waiting for it to be hacked(Thank God it been has recently!) so I can play my legally Backed Up games on the Go! I wasn't going to spend more money buying them off PSN..Sorry Sony!
My point is I'm also against Piracy but the thing I like to play on my portables is Emulator's and thanks to hacker's you guys can play them on your PSP's now without even hacking your PSP's!

You know phones have emulators now. So if you wanting to play SNES games I use my phone god forbid though..

An HD console that has been out for 5 years cost less...

$300?

Lol less than i was expecting to be honest but not what im willing to pay for a hand held console.

That being said if the NGP from they day it's released can hook up too my tv with HD output, not too fused about 5.1 or up and let me connect my ps3 controller too it then i may still be interested.

As from the looks of things 95% of these games are going to be ones id rather spend playing lying down on my couch on the big screen, not a 5 inch one.

It hasn't got an hdmit output port on it. Whether that changes with the final design is unknown but highly unlikely.

@Sinn

Id be happy with composite lol.

And Hdmi mini could probably fit on there quite easily if they wanted it.

But yeah at that price sorry sony, interest just got pissed down the tubes

http://stingygamer.com/deals/2011/02/report-ngp-price-to-be-250-in-the-uk/

Rumours are pointing towards a 250 pound price tag in UK (20 more then the 3ds).

Attractive price, if true, but im thinking it will be at 300.

Some new info:
http://www.vg247.com/2011/03/01/ngp-to-use-skyhook-as-location-program/

The location-based program on the NGP will be the Skyhook Wireless location engine.
Skyhook combines wi-fi, cell-phone triangulation and GPS to get a location.

Also sony lowered the cpu speed to prevent the battery from dying and...prevent the unit from melting!

Sony revealed additonal deteails of NGP at GDC 2011:

* The NGP quad-core ARM9 CPU will run at a lower speed than the PS3, therefore it won't be as powerful as the PS3. The lower clock speed is intended to prevent the system from overheating
* The NGP has two high-framerate cameras that can detect human faces and head tracking, you can take pictures of yourself and use them as avatar
* You can also capture real-life textures for use in games like LittleBigPlanet
* The NGP Game Card will be in 2GB or 4GB size, which contains 5 - 10% writable memory for game data and patches
* The maximum capacity of Game Card can be up to 2TB

Still sounds good to me, I might just fork out the cash on one, love my current PSP. I'd think they want to keep it from overheating if you check how hot they PS3 gets having that heat in a hand held would not be ideal!

Going to need some heat resistant gloves to play. So nice move I'd say I don't want a PS3 in my hand so lower graphics on 5 inch screen would be awesome. If I want HD graphics and big screen I'd switch on the PS3.

I'm picking up the 3G model: that one comes with GPS.

NGP may release in Europe this year.

Hmmmm ill have to see the line up, and how many games come out on PSN for this from the current PSP Libary.

Give me Dissidia 2, KH: Birthday By Sleep and i know Valkyria Chronicles and Prinny are both on there already, will be a big factor if i buy it or not early.

Launch titles will make up the other half, give me Decent Launch and Decent Previous titles will make me consider forking out R3000 for this machine as the 3DS is already R2750

Well one launch title semiknown:
http://www.siliconera.com/2011/03/21/ngp-will-launch-with-an-rpg-from-ys-developer-falcom/

Japanese developer Nihon Falcom will have an RPG ready for the NGP launch (at least in Japan anyways)

the YS series has never been one of my favorites, but eh pretty cool

well that will def be my 1st game, unlikely anything better will come out, also pretty amazing that were getting a proper jrpg as a launch title, even if it is one of the crappier ones. Ys 7 is retty cool though

assuming they don't give some JP launch only crap.
