I have to admit that as concepts go this one is fairly damn sweet.

gorgeous!

That is really smart. As said on the link the shoulder buttons are the only thing that dont look practical.

Looks good, can imagine it being heavy on the hand though.

Wish the controls were like that on the standard PSP.

got to say I really don't like that

Don't think it would be the most comfortable thing to hold and play, but certainly looks nice.

Should be a Sony cert for a final design and release then

It looks more expensive than a PS3.

no thanks. using those thumb sticks would be even more difficult than it already is

Nice concept, but less than practical.

Nice concept, but less than practical.

Spot on - perfect for posing, terrible for playing games

Ditto (well, I'm at a school but same thing).

Imageshack and PhotoBucket are both blocked.


Edit: Merci. That looks sweet!

I wonder if it's the size of a iPod Nano.

Buttons are too low to the bottom, joysticks still in the wrong place, lower screen too close to D-Pad, nasty shoulder buttons.

Screen is cool though, but it's not what I'd describe as practical.

Sod that, I want to know what game is playing on the image!!

To me it just looks like a minature 40" Bravia telly with a mobile phone slidey bit added and shoulder buttons put in an awkward place (that may actually work well, when I think about it)!

I think it look sreally cool. It amazes me how much time some people ut into making these realistic looking mockups - when you look carefully there has been a fair amount of thought gone into that even though you can tell it's made via photoshop or similar.

Here's hoping that Sony take on board some of the ideas for the PSP2.

Nice concept, but less than practical.

Basically my thoughts so I'll just quote you

It does look very nice, good for posing but little else.

Agreed, and also it would look better in white

Uhm, look where the analog sticks are?

Imagine holding that, and imagine you having to stretch and contort your thumbs to use the analog sticks. Horrible, unergonomic design.
