Where Are My New Features Sony?
It has been quite some time since the last major update to the PS3. Back in June of 2010 3.40 was released but since then It's been small updates like security improvements and various TV players. Sony really needs to implement some new features for the Playstation 3 community. Features like cross game chat have been begged for for years now. I hope that with all this buzz about the NGP (PSP2) that sony doesn't forget about updating the PS3 and keeping it fresh. I don't mean another video service app or slight reworkings of features currently present like the photo gallery, I want new shit. Custom soundtracks for every game, in game internet browsing, a more intuitive messaging system, more detailed PSN IDs, better socail networking implementation, pc-ps3 video chat, email integration or live news ticker. While I'm at it, Sony, PLEASE PLEASE make a usb UMD player so that people who have invested in the PSP early on and have stacks and piles of UMD games dont feel as cheated by the fact that the PSPGO and the NGP don't have UMD slots. In addition to that people who dont have a PSP will be able to experience PSP titles and may want to invest in a PSPGO or NGP.

NGP (PSP2) Announced
It's Official. Sony has announced the successor to the PSP. The PSP2 or NGP as it is currently being called is the next handheld from Sony. The new device sports dual analog sticks, a 5" OLED touchsceen
with 940x544 resolution along with front and rear facing cameras and a touchpad on the back of the device as well as a gyroscope, accelerometer and compass for motion controls In addition the device will support 3G data and has a built in GPS. No official release date has been stated but it looks to launch some time this holiday season. With all these fancy features it sounds like the NGP will come with a hefty price tag but with the Nintendo 3DS launching in just a couple of months on March 27th Sony can't really afford to charge an arm and leg for their shiny new toy. The 3DS will be launching at $250 so Sony needs to keep their price close to have a real fighting chance against Nintendo. I say a $300 tag at launch would be very reasonable being only $50 more than the 3DS but with many more features to offer. What do you think the NGP should be priced at launch? And are you excited for the NGP at all?
