Playstation Meeting 2011 – PSP2 and PS Suite announced

[Mavrick]

Hmm, Hardware wise I think they would only have one at launch. 3g wise I think they would have it standard in every psp 2 if they are going to be using it for their online structure. Internal memmory they may have two like ps3 at launch. But I guess it depends on cost and how many they can get churned out the production line.

I was thinking the same thing earlier today.

Perhaps one for 16 GB and another for 32 GB.

If they were to have PSP2 games distributed over PSN, then they would need a lot more storage than that.

Yeah I tink if they have two versions the only diffrences will be HDD size.

I think it would be more than just storage size, 3G adds to value with little cost, a wi fi only version and a premium one with bigger storage and 3G makes more sense. Plus, 3G is not even that widespread and stable today so it makes no sense to force that onto customers right now.

It would be queer to release a new 3G device now when LTE is so close and life cycles of handhelds are usually a few years. Or perhaps Sony will pull an Apple and wait until LTE is "perfect".

I actually hope there is no 3G. I really dont think its needed.

[Mavrick]

Well, here we go

There's a screen of a snowboarding game (SSX?) with PSone controls overlaid on the phone screen: dpad and symbol buttons.

"Legendary original PlayStation content" - i.e. PSone games - will be available on Android devices.

[Mavrick]

Now: distribution strategy. With PS Suite, devs and pubs will have a unique and secure framework for distribution and users with an easy experience. That means PS Store for Android.

Unless you use the Xperia play still that would be missing L2 R2

[AranhaHunter]

PS Store on Android devices distributing some older games is a pretty smart idea actually. People are emulating it anyways, might as well try to make some money out of it.

I concur. I wonder if this could hurt the iPhone in the long run.
