I am looking foward to this device.

Let's see if this is PSP 2 or a completely different device.

If this is a Phone, it should be called PS Phone.

Red_Orange_Juice5315d ago (Edited 5315d ago )

if PSP2 and the rumored phone is one and the same...

..IM GOONNNNNAAAAAA RAAAGEEEEE

Stealth20k5315d ago

I thought we went through this?

We know for 100 percent certainty its a different device

psp phone= sony ericson

psp 2 = sony japan and entertainment

Tsar4ever015312d ago (Edited 5312d ago )

Looking at that pic makes me wonder if the PSPhone would be kinda designed like any of the current 4.3' or upcoming 4.5' super Oled smart phones from Motorola DX, Samsung Galaxy S, & HTC HD2, and those PS & phone icons will be either Hard buttons or touch control at the bottom of the large screen?

FACTUAL evidence5315d ago

Guess this is sony's way of cross game chat. /s

Spinal5315d ago

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

But OT: I stated before im pretty sure they are two different devices the psp phone and the psp2. I personally want the PSP phone cause if its half as good as i hope an plays psp/ps1 games Then im sold an my iPhone 4 will be sold too.

It says "Pierre Perron and his team invite you to the most anticipated presentation of the past 10 years".

December 9th isn't too far away, if this is legit, I guess it will be interesting.

And Pierre Perron is the Head of Sony Ericsson France.

rrw5315d ago

well the picture show usual PS symbol and phone on it.

pretty obvious hint there

fossilfern5315d ago

if this is a PSP phone i might just get rid of my iphone :D

SpartanPrince5315d ago (Edited 5315d ago )

Imagine the kind of games will be on this. My only hope is that they wont try to be ps3 games and will just be slightly above ps2 level. Leave the ps3 type games for the psp2
The psp tried to come up with some really advanced games but failed most of the time(probably because of the lack of a second analogue stick). Plus this is a phone and it will probably drain the battery life too much.

NeutralGamer5315d ago

Me thinks its for PSP Minis...

PSP 2 is where the real shits at

silvacrest5315d ago

i think it will have original PSP games as well as minis

if its just the minis sony have thrown away there one chance to steal significant market share from apple

apple already dominate crappy mini games, why not target the area they are weakest at? proper games with actual buttons

also im getting this vibe from the comments here that you guys want this device to just play minis, im guessing probably because you want the psp2 to be the all powerful device, it will be but the psp phone does not need to be heald back for that to happen

Spinal5315d ago

Exactly silvacrest, I couldn't have said it better myself. I would replace my iphone 4 for a psp phone that plays psp games atleast an maybe ps1/ps2 games would be a bonus!

poopoojames5315d ago

I hope the psp Phone is the psp2. Times have changed, people don't want hardcore portable gaming. A psp2 would flop if released after a playstation phone.

InvaderZim5315d ago

it wouldnt flop. i just cnt w8 for the next psp. NEED Uncharted portable ;)

p4s2p05315d ago

I want hardcore portable gaming I don't even have a home console since psp came out can't wait for psp2.

More and likley a ps phone would play it's own games like minis and ps1 classics.

Sigh5315d ago

It would be surprising if Sony unveiled both the PSPhone and PSP2 in one event. Problem is, we don't know if PSP2 and PSPhone are two separate products. It could be an all-in-one product.

Lucreto5315d ago

I hope not.

We have seen in-development images for the PSP2 with 2 thumb sticks and a camera.

I hope the phone can be used for minis or other smaller games.

silvacrest5315d ago

do you think it being a fully-fledged psp would mean it steals the PSP2's thunder? im sure it wont

i have no doubt the psp2 will be more powerful and be the flagship playstation handheld

if it just had minis and crappy mini games i would still get it just for proper gaming buttons for emulators but it would be a MASSIVE disappointment and a wasted opportunity, the psp phone would be the only smartphone with proper games and proper controls, why waste that on minis?

Switch 2 accessory makers are “working hard” on magnetic analogue sticks to combat stick drift

Nintendo Switch 2 stick drift is already an issue, but accessory makers are already working on magnetic joysticks.

I've never had stick drift in any controller I've ever owned. All my joycons (3 sets) from my Switch are perfectly fine. My Switch 2 ones are good. Never had a dualshock / dualsense have it (did have a dualshock get a stuck trigger once). Even my Valve Index controllers which were notorious for drift were fine for me.

Goodguy011d 9h ago

Varies. Just because you've never had one doesn't mean others won't. I've had PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers indeed drift on me. Remember the drift lawsuits that Nintendo has had.

Please stop trying to say that traditional potentiometers are absolutely fine when hall effect/tmr sticks are beyond superior lol, not sure why so many people keep trying to defend potentiometers when hall effects are so pro consumer.
Companies like nintendo, sony, and mcsft don't want to implement them simply because they want you the consumer to keep buying them. Most casuals will just buy a new controller if theirs difts, easy money for the big 3.
I've gone hall effects and have never gone back, can leave my controllers out absolutely fine without worry of dust ruining the sticks.

Neonridr1d 9h ago

when did I say that traditional joysticks are absolutely fine? I'm sharing my own experience here. I never said that others don't experience issues, nor that this is somehow acceptable. Strange leapfrog from A to B on that one.

People love to say it's a huge widespread issue, yet you only hear about it because the minority is vocal whereas the majority don't report anything because they are fine.

I'm happy you switched to hall effect sticks, if that's what works for you, then awesome.

Christopher1d 9h ago

Cool? Pretty sure this is for those who are having it happen. Not sure how your anecdote addresses other peoples' problems.

Neonridr1d 5h ago

people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will.

Pyrofire959h ago

lucky you. I've only had minor drift once in my L Joycon which I fixed with some card stock, but drift is an undeniable problem as a whole.

repsahj6h ago

My 2 sets of Joy-Cons from my OG Switch started to drift with just a month of use. That is why I bought Dobe Joy-Cons with just $25, and until now they are still fine. I hope this will never happen again on my Switch 2.

jznrpg1h ago

My left joy con for the OG Switch got stick drift right away as well. I never had issues with my PS5 controllers since launch until I got my kids PS5’s and they had stick drift with 2 controllers. They drop them because they are kids and although I have them wash their hands before gaming they still get gunk under them somehow. I got their controllers modded because they would have issues no matter what I have them do.

The tech is already there. I had a couple of my PS5 controllers modded with Hall Effect modules and they work great. They should come standard with them these days but they don’t.

OtterX8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Nyxi already made some fantastic Hall Effect controllers for Switch 1. I don't know why Nintendo couldn't have it by now if Nyxi has had for years.

spoonard5h ago

Cheap, frictionless sensors ALREADY exist. Why are they "working hard to combat stick drift"? Stick drift should be a thing of the past at this point. The technology is here...NOW. It has been...for YEARS! Why is stick drift even still spoken about? It shouldn't exist!
