Is that a DS Cart?? LAME

If it works, it works. Not like the 3DS is doing anything new either. This is just the best option both parties could think of.

Gamestop said that the NGP will cost $299. Sounds tempting, but unfortunately, I don't have the money for either that or the 3DS The next system I'm planning on getting is a PS3 anyways

No one really knows the price yet (I'd bet that even Sony hasn't worked it our or fully decided).

My guess: somewhere around $300-350 for the WiFi version, > $400 for 3G-enabled

I think that Gamestop thing is a lie I think the device will cost more than 299 because an iPhone costs 599 and has similar features (Except for the fact that it's, you know, A PHONE) I think it could be priced anywhere from 300 - 650

My opinion... It's just an HD PSP with a touch screen and 3G. In the end, it'll be overpriced and have games that are ill suited to be portable games. While it'll have games that are highly praised, it'll have few that should really be portable titles and the experience will be hindered. The 3DS is simply outclassing it where it matters most.

@Jace: I think I read somewhere that Nintendo explained that the reason why both screens on 3DS aren't touch is because a 3D screen and touch screen simply cannot co-exist on the same screen. It doesn't really work because touch functionality gets in the way of 3D functionality. This makes me quite pleased because now if any company wanted to try and contest Nintendo in the 3D realm, they would need to throw out the touch screen. Its brilliant! An un-copiable feature!(for now)

The real draw to it is that it's supposed to be like a full on console. That's what they're trying to do with the dual analog sticks and sooper graphikz.

I think the hardware is really good! I'm glad they switched away from UMDs. I'm just waiting for a bigger games list.

Well having read a lot about the PSP2 now the only negative I see is that ,well, its not very portable is it . What with the size and those analogue sticks protruding and that oh so sexy screen thats just waiting to be scratched! The good thing is that none of this really bothers me.I was going to get a PS3 soon but having seen the PSP2 I think I'm going to wait for that instead. Basically a PS3 I can play anywhere in the house without taking up any more precious TV time from my missus. Even if it just ends up getting PS3 ports I'll be more than happy. My 3DS will be used when I'm on the go. I'm surprised that Sony didn't use a similar design to the GO though as that seems a more suitable design for a portable to me.

What's this bit for again?

Ummm, no. There's a 16GB one at at 199 and a 32GB one at 299. And there might be a 64GB one at 399, although I'm not sure. But not 599. Of course, there's also the plan that you have to buy.

Im no sony fan altho i did own the PS1 but as ever sony have missed the whole point of portable gaming its not about power and graphics as Nintendo has proven since the Gameboy days to the DS. But no doubt even if its a high priced the power and graphics lovers will jump on the band wagon regardless as well as the people who just to have every new shiney bit of tech and more money than sense.

I believe this will be the first handheld that could directly be compared to the Iphone as it uses 3G and no doubt have a contract because forever fed up of people compare 59p games to the £39 odd handheld games and never take in to consideration the monthly contract. Even pay as you go iphone requires you to pay added fee to use it within a set period network dependant of course.

So if the PSP2 3G has some form of plan which with data it will use be crazy if it didnt 59p iphone games to what ever the price of PSP games will be truly price comparable. and by the time its released in the west some new phone will have bettered it no doubt Iphone 5 and be old tech.

It will probably be really expensive.. and i would rather play on a big screen with the console i already pay for than buying an expensive portable

I remember hearing some fanboys saying that the DS game carts are small, stupid and easy to lose and that the touch screen is a gimmick. Now that Sony unveiled that NGP is using Game Carts it's not a problem. And now that they have a touch-screen, it's not a gimmick.

Shows that people are just stupid these days.

I'll have to see what NGP offers when it comes to my interests to 'seal' the deal though.

@SuperMarioFan - I think you're missing the point....having to buy the plan is what reduces the price of the phones. $599.99 is what it costs to buy one without a plan.

This is just completely dispicable! How else can sony copy nintendo? They have always used discs instead of carts! And now they choose to use carts because they know how awesome they are! VERY ORIGINAL, SONY!!! "New Game Media." How stupid are you, Sony?

Has everybody forgotten that UMD was a disaster? From ease of piracy to load times, to expensive manufacturing and draining the battery life, absolutely nothing good came of it. Switching to Flash carts is quite possibly the smartest move they could've made. They're not simply copying. They're switching to something that works.

That is very much correct...
But they did shape it very similar to a DS cart, which I believe is a mistake.
