Ideas for what the PSP2 should have

    There have been many rumors flying about what the PSP2 is going to have in it, so I decided to put in my two cents worth on the issue.

    The current PSP has several issues to it.

  1.   The UMD format as a whole has failed. It never truly took off as a format, and has since been easily hacked, causing software sales to suffer, which anyone in the market knows that's where a company makes all of it's money.
  2. Battery Life has always been an issue with the PSP as well, with wireless turned on, the battery life is pretty close to non-existent which leads me to my next point.
  3. The PSP has basically failed as a portable system. With its short battery life and it's big UMD discs, it's basically become a site station. One you sit down and play plugged in. It's not thought of so much as a portable system like the Nintendo DS is.

Now for the Issues I've heard with the PSP2 ideas. The PSP2 is supposed to get rid of the UMD format and incorporate a built in flash drive. The issue with the built in flash drive is the limitation on space. While it would make the PSP more portable, and give it a better battery life (without the need to spin a disk, the batter will last longer) it is limited on space. It's rumored it's only going to have 8gb of internal Memory. 8 gigabytes is way too little space to hold any decent amount of games. And for the people with UMDs, how are they supposed to play their games?

Here's what I think should happen with the PSP2. The PSP2 should come with at least 16gb of built in memory with the option to have more put into it as a Memory Stick Pro Duo. Leaving it expandable up to 32gb. Also coming with a legal option for transferring your UMD's to the PSP or the PS3. I say the PS3 because as an offset and the extension of current software it'd be simple to download PSP games from the PSN to the Playstation 3. That way whenever you're in a WiFi hotspot (which are becoming quite common these days) you can access your PS3 and stream games over the internet to your psp, reducing the need for a spinning disk, and a large internal memory on the PSP. While not an original concept, it's one that hasn't been put into practice as of yet, and with something like the PSP it can't hurt.

yea i tottaly agree with you especially with #2 i mean i was playing online and i think the battery lasts like a good 2-3 hours max. The psp needs a huge overhaul of the whole system. It needs a longer battery life and a camera and other stuff that i dont feel like writing right now...

Lol, yeah. And remember the GPS function that's been promised (in America, I realize Japan had one released) on the PSP since it first launched? When I was in Best Buy recently, I saw a PS3 running a demo showing the PSP using a GPS. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
