NGP to have two SKUs, probable vast price difference

[Jay]

Read about it here

If the NGP is $250 I might pick one up in 2012.

[Casey]

What is it?

Is it a phone, is it a handheld?

[Jay]

It's the successor to the PSP. What the 3DS is to DS, the NGP is to PSP.

It has two analog sticks, a touch screen, a touch pad on the back of the console, and it rivals the Xbox 360 in terms of graphical prowess.

[Casey]

But....I hate handhelds....:-(


Well, except when I'm at the gym trying to distract myself from the pain and sweat.

[Jay]

THEN DON'T BUY ONE.

Money better spent on beer which is used to enhance my games that I play on my gigantic HDTV with surround sound.

meh, not interested in this, and I think releasing multiple SKUs is a bad choice. after the flop that was the PSP, they really should have stuck with a single SKU until the install base was large enough to release the second one, similar to Nintendo's methods.

[Jay]

The PSP 3000 had component cables that you could hook up to your TV and essentially let you use your PSP as a game controller. If NGP can do this in high definition, I might buy one at launch.

[Casey]

Is it backwards compatible?

[Jay]

It doesn't have a UMD slot, but any games you download on the PS Network will work on it.

[Travis]

If this thing is under $300 I will be amazed.

[Jay]

I hope it's under $300 or I'm waiting on a price drop.

[Casey]

Are there going to be games for it?

[Jay]

It's a Playstation.
