I'd be surprised if it didn't have a touch screen as it does seem to be the main trend with handhelds to mobile phones.
And to do with the dual analogs, if it doesn't have them I likely won't be getting the psp 2. 1 analog and also how it's mounted below the d-pad makes playing most shooter games frustrating and near impossible in some cases.

At this point i don't care that much for touchscreen. I could take it or leave it.
Dual analog sticks on the other hand...now there's something i would be interested in.

BWC wins X infinite, period,regardless of, ect,ect,ect.
You just can never go wrong with BWC, now dose this mean it needs to be on the default model no, it just means they need to offer it.
Do try and think some, your IQ is showing....

Agreed, I really wouldn't care if it did or didn't, its really just a gimmick unless its on a computer for graphical design. I'd just be surprised if they didnt throw it in there for the sake of having it.

hopefully they have good features like mic, bright screen and if they have a new game type also have backwards compatibility with old psp umds. but also new stuff like blue tooth and a bigger screen also dual analogue sticks would be awesome!

moreover they should have small "touch points" on the side of the LCD screen instead of a full touch screen.

I also didn't really like the idea of a touchscreen. I got my BlackJack II because it had a keyboard and not a touchscreen.
But I recently got a Mylo Com2 which has a rudimentary touch screen and now I know why they are popular.
The touchscreen replaces the mouse. When it comes to interacting with something designed for a mouse, like a webpage, the touchscreen is indespensable. Some things just cannot be done without a touchscreen.

Ya, a touch screen is not worth the added price, would rather have a way to put umds on it so I am not wasting money on something thats limited to only new more costly crap.
But more importantly dual analogs is a must without them all ports and games will be handicapped...
A touch screen works for the DS because you can use your thumb on it.

My brother had one of those Pandoras battery hack thingys for his psp.
The neat thing about it was that you'd load the games off the memory stick instead of the UMD drive. The games loaded so much faster off of the memory stick, and the battery life of the PSP was greatly increased. I play some lego game on it for 2 hours and still had 95% of the battery left.

It would not be hard to make a 100$ UDM add on with wireless data rates being what they are one could either rip or stream the data to the device if not a simple detachable device would be neat.
It would just be nice to have it, perhaps let people rip the games to mem card to play, buy upgrades to the games or whole PSP games off PSN offer alot to consumers not limited crap...
prutsos
That one could rip a game to mem stick and play it off that. that UDM was a power hog,ect,ect

Mini blu ray discs sound more reasonable and future proof.

Maybe Sony will allow you to mail in your UMD games for a voucher for the downloadable version, now THAT would be great.

That would require a mailing center and sorters and accounts to messy IMO, it would be easier to let the fans rip a image, then offer upgrades and patches for a fee via PSN.
I mean they are going to be selling PSP games online anyway why not double up.

The PSP truly does need a touchscreen to keep up with the likes of Nintendo DS. I mean, has anyone actually ever TRIED to browse the Internet with the PSP. If you haven't, I'll tell you now, its hell trying to.
I don't really care about UMDs - but they should have some sort of downloadable version available for people who have bought them so they can download the game directly on their PSP2.
Dual analog sticks is a MUST. Hopefully that would also mean compatibility with PS2 titles. With dual analog sticks, though, I think you'd need both shoulder buttons too (L1,L2,R1,R2).
And perhaps PSP2 should come with wireless-N connectivity - if they release it that late anyway.
And please, please, Sony, don't kill off the homebrew scene. People LIKE making games for their PSPs. People like playing their own backup'd games on their PSPs. Infact, chipping (and hacking) is what makes Sony consoles so damn popular. That ALONE is probably the reason why PS3 bombed in the first place. The only thing it had going for it was the Blu-Ray player, but as they've gone cheaper, the PS3 is losing credibility. It doesn't have much of a solid game library either compared to the Xbox 360. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a fanboy, I'm disillusioned with Sony completely over PS3 - they shattered my hopes about it.
Anyway, thats my two pennies' worth.
