price cut? Would be nice, I've already had a PS3 for over a year now and happy with what I paid and when I paid it. But with sales going up I'll be thrilled to see added support to the system.

@Phil Caron - But if you take into consideration a PSP without a UMD drive cannot play PSP games, then it is a successor. Oddly, because the original PSP can play games on the new PSP, there's a strange forward compatibility without backward compatibility thing going on here that, as far as I know, hasn't been done by console/portable makers before. Also, when you consider that the PSP2 does have features not usable in the original which can affect gameplay (sliding screen, dual sticks) then you realize that what the PSP2 is is Sony's version of the Nintendo DSi. A device that can serve games unplayable on previous devices (dual-stick/camera) but fails to play media that the previous device had (UMD disc/GBA cart). In my opinion, both devices should fail because both are simply mediocre upgrades from the previous generation without holding compatibility. Not that I care who sells more but rather I care that this could lead to a bad trend that stifles actual innovation in the portable market.

@Valnen - Honestly...I think it's a bit premature to call it the "PSP 2" as it is...from all the word I've heard, it's more or less an update to the current hardware, not an entirely new handheld. Does the PSP really need a successor? I don't think so.

Hmm. I still think I'll be buying a 60 gig PS3 with my tax refund... I look forward to the PSP2 though. I'm hoping it will either be as powerful as a PS2 or perhaps even have PS2 compatibility like the PSP1 has PS1 compatibility. It would be the best handheld ever.

Fuck yeah. Now I'll just wait for the 2, instead of buying that PSP3k off Amazon.
