So the PSPgo is out. However, even if the design is slightly better and more portable, it still isn't perfect. How would you make it better and what changes would you make? My changes: 1. put a second nub where the select and start buttons are and add the click feature to both nubs(L3 and R3) and move both the nubs further apart slightly 2. put select and start buttons identical to those on the PS3 above the 2 nubs 3. remove the PSP logo from underneath the screen and put a circular PS button(like the one on the PS3 controller instead of the semi-circle one currently on the left side of the screen) there instead 4. remove the volume, screen brightness and music(?) buttons from between the L and R buttons. and instead of having volume buttons make the volume control a slider and put it on the left hand side of the console. ditch the screen brightness button and the music button as they're pointless 5. remove the 'inset' around all the buttons and the nubs etc. and keep the surface flat. the insets make the buttons hard to push and the nub a bit hard to move around(i tried someone elses PSPgo) 6. remove the 'hold feature' from the on/off button. It's too fiddly(does the PSPgo have it? I never tried the on/off switch)

PSPGo + M33 = ultimate portable device.

fixed control stick thing, all buttons from a controler, lightweight, way better graphics better graphics probly isn't possible D: but hey at least it better than DS and iPhone. I wouldn't want ALL the buttons from controller, I'd ditch L2 and R2 buttons. Also, I've added more to the list .a save state feature, so that if you quit your game by pressing the playstation button and selecting quit game option, you can go back onto the place you were in on the game before you quit it by selecting the UMD option(the word 'UMD' would probably be replaced by 'Resume Game.' Your save will also be kept if you turn the PSP off or remove the UMD.

.internet browser that is identical to the PS3s(obviously slower and with the options to turn images and flash off etc.) Wait, is it even possible to make a slower browser and less well equipped for modern internet usage?

Wait, is it even possible to make a slower browser and less well equipped for modern internet usage? To make the most out of PSP browser(make it somewhat fast) you have to turn off flash, java, images and turn conserve memory on. That what I meant or was tat sarcasm lol

The iPod browser works pretty well and is quick with flash and java and all that turned on, so I don't see why a future PSP couldn't do it let alone a massively overpowered PS3. I would like a touch screen. But it also would be nice if there were still a few buttons.

Better battery life; make the analogue stick not so trippy; a second analogue stick would be cool, too, I suppose. But, I'd keep the design closer to the classic 1000 over the 2 or 3k versions. The flat, gloss back is a real turn-off to me. Also, better speakers in a more logical place.

The gloss back is fine imo and makes it more comfy to hold

Hmmm...ideal? Folding OLED Screen Two analogue sticks Projector Function Divx and MKV support Dolby headphone output 250 gb flash memory Faster Wifi Built in 12 Mega pixel camera Voice recognition If were talking ideal...I could go on and on

My ideal PSP wouldn't exist at all. I'd have preferred if Sony put money only on home console development.

I'd like a PSP with two analog sticks. It would be nice if they were larger so I don't lose my grip on it, but that might compromise the portability. Though I remember seeing a really cool concept in which the joysticks fold up. Now that was cool!

Though I remember seeing a really cool concept in which the joysticks fold up. Now that was cool! everyone agrees it needs two joysticks with click features. theyd need to be identical to normal psps tho. click would be put in cuz joystick is raised anyway. the L2 and R2 button cant be in probly witout makin it bulky

sry for doble post but i on psp. dont ppl think alot of game woud be bettr with 2 joysticks with click? LBP PSP wod have propr controls wit flip and copy function(by clicking on left or right sticks). i also read that psp could run mini blu-ray discs(same size as UMD) with half the memory of a normal blu-ray(normal is 25-50gb so mini woud be 12.5-25gb i think). imagine dat! PS2 graphic and bigger games and almost identical ports(lbp psp with multiplayer and full create mode!)

WELL. My ideal PSP would ahve a big 'X' on it, and would say 'Microsoft Xbox 360p' or somthing on it

Changed it into a list instead of a hhuge paragraph. i've revised it a bit too 1. 2 analogue sticks both with the click function(to make the internet browser work as well as the PS3s, allowing more control in games like LBP PSP and allowing for less daunting control schemes to make it more appealing to 'pick up and play' 2. have 32GB built-in memory as well as a UMD drive so the new PSP would be like an amalgamation of the PSP 3000 and the PSPgo. 3. have an internet browser identical to the PS3s minus the L2 and R2 functions. it also needs the same cursor icons. the current ones are ugly 4. have unlimited text while typing. having a limited amount of text while typing is annoying and makes using forums etc. annoying 5. have analogue support for all menus. the PS3 has this feature and it makes it more comfortable to type and navigate menus etc. 6. every game must have a pause function. the PSP is a handheld so you cant play forever. 7. support all widely used video and music types(like MP3 or MP4 etc.) to make it more appealing as a 'do-it-all' device like the PS3 8. Sony should develop the UMD further so they can store 16GB-32GB. This would probably allow for better graphics and ports could be closer to their console counterparts in terms of size and control(since the PSP would have two analogue sticks) 9. be kinder to new/independent/small developers. the DS and iTouch get most of the cool unique stuff because it looks like sony only lets big names develop(EA etc.) 10. if you quit a game by pressing the PS button and selecting 'quit' you can go back to where you were in the game by clicking on the UMD icon or clicking on your games icon if it's saved on a memory stick. The PSP will keep your save even if you turn your system off or remove the UMD. It'll only delete it if you return to your game

I've changed the list AGAIN(sorry bout that) into what the console needs. I was looking at PSP2 mockups and I found what I think is the best one: http://playstationfever.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/playstation-portable-2.jpg It needs these functions though: .volume control should be a slider and be located on the left of the console, horizontally opposite of the on/off slider .analogue nubs need click(L3 and R3) .the on/off slider shouldn't have a hold function(it's too fiddly) .it needs R1 and L1 buttons identical to the PSPgos but sturdier(they wrap-around the console like the PS3 controllers which is cool and makes it slightly less chunky) .the design needs to be rounded more(similar to the PSPgo) but bigger, so the control layout isn't cramped(the control layout in the mockup isn't cramped and is similar to a PS3 controller). There should also be a silver highlight around the bottom section so it looks nice(like how there's a silver highlight around the top screen) .they should ditch the screen brightness and the musical note buttons. They're pointless and take up space

You really want the right nub don't you? Well, tough. (http://consolecaliber.com/forums/Sony-considered-twin-sticks-PSPgo-t11600.html)

You really want the right nub don't you? Well, tough. (http://consolecaliber.com/forums/Sony-considered-twin-sticks-PSPgo-t11600.html) I read about it. I dont think backwards compatibility is an issue. Keep the UMD player and/or digital download in place(like the PSPgo or PSP300) so it's compatible with previous PSP games and also ones that use 2 analogue nubs

You know, there's this magical thing that forums have called the "edit" button. Use it sometime. Also, most of these physical changes you're proposing would make the thing a ton more expensive, but second analog stick and l2/r2 would be godly. And the screen brightness button isn't useless if you want your PSP to last more than four hours. But I have no idea what the note button is for, it is pretty useless.

I have no idea what the note button is for, it is pretty useless. Changes type of sound (voice, jazz, dance, etc) when using headphones or mutes volume. But it is incredibly useful if your PSP is hacked, there are a lot of plugins that use the note button because, as you say, it doesn't do much.

mobile broadband built in for internet gaming wherever you are would be a great feature to include.

That was actually added in a recent update for the Go. You have a phone or something, that doesn't need wifi to connect to the interent. You can use it like a router for your PSP via bluetooth.

mobile broadband built in for internet gaming wherever you are would be a great feature to include. built in bluetooth and mobile tethering sounds amazing. Shame it PSPgo only. Also, the more I think about it, the more appealing digital only sounds. Less disks etc. Retailers wouldn't get the shaft because they could ofer download cards for all games(like Sony is already doing). This gets rid of file size limits so if they make a faster processor maybe you could download 16GB etc. in 1-3 hours maybe.

The PSPgo is really bad AND really good D: bad: .really small .volume button hidden behind the screen .cramped and badly thought out control layout .no second analogue nub and no click feature(L3 and R3) .expensive .PSN games are kinda expensive .needs at least 32GB memory good: .bluetooth .sliding design is cool .L and R buttons look cool and less 'breakable looking' than PSP3000 nice shape and more like a PS3 controller .save state feature(it should be 'all in one' though so quitting a game with the PS button automatically saves your game even if you turn off the sytem after quitting you click on the game icon again so you can pick up where you left off) .digital download only is cool and makes it more portable

Sliders give you much less control and are too fiddly IMO I dunno, they work well for youtube and stuff. Its also quicker than clicking buttons so you could quickly adjust it during gameplay and stuff. I played a DS once and slider works all right. In the interest of space it essential imo. Would you agree with everything else tho?

Well, I'd say keep the display and music buttons, as well as hold, since they're all pretty useful (for me anyway). I can't comment on the other stuff since I haven't tried a PSPgo yet. I don't really mind how different the controls are...it seems more like a DualShock how it is

I don't really mind how different the controls are...it seems more like a DualShock how it is Hold seems pointless. Since the screen goes over the buttons anyway so 'locking' the controls doesn't seem like an issue. I wasn't saying to move around the controls. they're pretty solidly placed as is. I just don't like the 'indent' that the controls are in and want a second nub and click functions and the select and start buttons moved.

What would make me buy a PSPgo is basically what can't happen... -Using some physical media (I don't want an "all digital" machine). -Bigger screen. -Second analog nub. -Sold in the 100-150$ US range. In short, this means "tuff luck Sony, you ain't getting my money that's for sure". .
