Sony looking for testers for 'new game machine'

As a rabbid fan of Nintendo and Sony who in fact foams at the mouth the instant my consoles are bad mouthed, I dislike PSP in any form. I do however applaud Nintendo DS, sadly I do not "buy into" PSP simply because it is just another portable media player, well invest in something good like a cellphone and quickly you've adopted music playback, video, communication, internet, what more do you want? Well gaming obviously then, well there is no doubt PSP games are simply Playstation stuff shrunken, and where is the fun in that? At least with the DS you get a handful of titles that would never be possible or considered on the Wii or the other consoles because it is simply "unique" and for me, that appeal of such titles continues to draw me to the DS because it will never be something rehashed and you'll always find gems over n over. Word.

I'm ready for a PSP2.

Hopefully Sony has learned the ins and outs of what makes a hand held popular, and grabs more developer support!

I hope they don't release the new psp for a while now since I just bought a psp 2 days ago (Red God of War edition!!). But that pic up above looks outrageous, I would pay another 200$ for that.

I hope it's not a phone, I won't be getting rid of my iPhone anytime soon.

I love that "Fan-made" PSP2 mock up. I'll bet my left arm the real PSP2 won't look that sexy.

I start flamewars and I've been banned!

Not surprised at all, since the PSP is hitting the 5th year from its release, and I doubt Sony is coming up with a iPhone competitor/killer at this stage (I could be wrong); I mean there are small bit news that add up, such as signing a contract with a UK company, doing surveys...

Hopefully, Sony is always reminded of its success of the Walkman and the first two PlayStation's and its failure of Beta-Max/Mini-Disc. I do think this next machine (PSP2 for now?) won't disappoint many Sony fans, but I do wonder what does Sony have to attract new buyers. DSi does have 2 digital cameras + SD card storage space, which can expend portable gameplaying into the unknown territory; and iPhone keeps adding apps and new games by the minute.

I think a sure bet for the PSP2 is plenty of storage space (at least 16GB) with the elimination of the UMD drive + expendable memory space (please use the more common SD cards instead of the memory duo cards!), better connection with the PS3, and with 2nd analog stick/touch screen as an after thought.

Pretty sure this will be the big this at Sony's E3

If Sony doesn't make the PSP2 EXACTLY like that mock-up,... I personally can't do anything, but millions of us will shake our tiny inconsequential fists at Sony.

Next PSP= Buy.

I hope its not like that pic up there tho.
I want it close to the current one(shape), with a sliding screen that has a keyboard under it.

Clamshell design please.

i would like to have a psp but i dont want to carry around a psp and a mobile phone the same time, so if it has got phone capability it would be a huge advantage for me and i will buy one of these

If it is a new PSP, it's too soon for my tastes, especially when you consider how poorly supported the current console has been for the last 12-13 months. R&D should always continue, even in a downturn, but releasing expensive hardware anytime soon would be a tragic mistake.

This article got it all wrong.
Some one translated something and there comes a rumor... This is nothing to do with a new PSP. The Japanese page in question has no such content about a new machine in the first place.

I don't want to say that Sony does not have any plan for one, but this adv was not for any such position. It is a wrong translated interpretation.

Suz
