The UK's PLAY Magazine published an article in their latest issue entitled: The PSP2's Features (probably)
Who doesn't love a good challenge? If everything was easy, there would be no joy in getting it done. In the realm of video games, the late 1980s and 1990s were the perfect era of "get good" gaming with multiple big-named titles that put a player's skills to the test. The Super Nintendo, one of
Sure did I can only assume the article is talking about old-school games in general

force unleashed is a great game. Thankfully the 360 version is bc on the XBO/Series. It looks and plays even better than on original hardware.
A true classic. Recently I was experimenting with injecting ray tracing into this game using nvidia’s SSRTGI. The results were pretty slick!
In a major crackdown, Italy's financial police have dismantled a ring trafficking counterfeit vintage video game consoles, highlighting a severe issue within the gaming industry. The operation underscores the industry's failure to preserve classic games, driving gamers toward illegal alternatives as legitimate options remain scarce and prohibitively expensive.
Even if they do crack down all a person needs is an Everdrive and a regular old school machine. Or modify a disc based console that has a dead laser to boot off an SD card. Some of those illegal devices look neat and some of them are just plain crap.
What a stupid thing to be wasting time, money and effort. Aren't these guys literally drowning right now? Maybe y'all should focus more on that instead trying to stop people from playing old games no longer being sold.
Pretty sure I've read and seen parts of Italy experiences/ing pretty bad floodings. Id argue that's more important than trying to prevent the sale of emulation devices.
oo, i like
how is UMD useless if it's delivered millions and millions of games to millions of PSP owners?
Those sticks are in horrible posistions, if they are going to include dual sticks in the next PSP - then they really need to change the shape of the actual PSP to make it easier to hold.
I can't see getting rid of the UMD. I would have no issue. However, not everyone has home access to the Internets believe it on not. The only way I see this happening is some sort of kiosk for those who don't have a SAFE/Secure connection to the Internet to download games.
I still disagree with the UMD being taken out. Every problem resulted from th UMD can be fixed:
Battery life can be enhanced with a better and powerful battery.
Size is not an overly major concern, the PSP-3000 is a nice size and weight, though if they did want ti much smaller I can see the UMD part being a problem.
Loading times can be curtailed as well with a stronger processor, RAM etc. Coupled with a better batter that will be more able to run the operations I don't see this as a major problem with the PSP2.
I personally believe that these issues can be fixed without getting rid of the UMD. Likewise pure DD is not going to be the future for a good few years. Not everyone is willing to download all their games, and not every is capable of doing so. The two way option of UMD and DD is a workable solution.
However beyond that, I think a sliding screen would be nice, if not entirely high priority, and reworked controls to include all the buttons of a PS console would be great: it would allow users of the PSP2 and PS3, to use the PSP2 as a controller for the PS3.
The flash memory would also be great but Sony need to make sure they don't have a hand held that is too expensive. In fact, a non-UMD PSP2 which is expensive wud surely not work, or maybe they could offer 2 SKU's.
