Offical PSP2 (or rather NGP) Thread

Device looks awesome but I'll no doubt wait until it's been out a while and the initial hype has died. The current PSP is a bit battered and is only being used for emulators now, and upgrade is due.

Really looking forward to seeing what LittleBigPlanet will be like on the new hardware. The version for the current PSP was the best game I'd played in a good while.
 
For those of you that may of skipped over the GI hands on,
Here's a word I promised myself I would never use to describe an electronic device: sexy. Nevertheless, the second I had the NGP in my hands, this is the first adjective that flashed across my mind. It's skinny, sleek, and feels great. I wasn't able to get a hard number for the weight of the device, but it was definitely lighter than my first-gen PSP, much more in line with the feathery feel of the PSPgo. I guess not having a bulky UMD drive will do that.

Since the controls are laid out almost exactly like a PS3 controller, I was able to jump into Uncharted with almost no learning curve, using the controls just as I would on the console. (NOTE: stay tuned for further impressions of Uncharted on the NGP.) One kind of surprising but important difference is the analog sticks. Rather than being pulled over directly from the PS3 controller, the analog sticks on the NGP have been redesigned and feel a little more like the analog sticks on an Xbox 360 pad -- concave rather than rounded. I only spent a short amount of time with the device, but I think there's a good chance that the analog sticks on this could feel better than the analogue sticks on the regular PlayStation 3 controller.

Just thinking about this a little bit more and I purchased the original PSP-1000 for games we were promised such as Gran Turismo, which didn't actually come out until something like 4 years later. I'm probably better off picking this up maybe a year or so into the consoles life when it has more quality games and may be slightly cheaper, I'm expecting it to be mucho expensive.
