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.

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.

 

[Tarvis]

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.

 

[Casey]

 

[Logan]

So the answer to that is no.

Reggie says

 

[Casey]

Not you too, Logan!

Casey why ain't u played Mass EFfect 2 yet?! Instead you're playin FF8!

Mass Effect 2 is a superb adventure, a deep gameplay experience, action packed and stuffed full of amazing vistas, If you own a PS3, you have to buy this game. It's every bit the the smart, sexy, thrilling, moving, funny, tense game we hoped it would be.

Mass Effect 2 far exceeded our expectations and is without question one of the best games we've played. Use whatever positive description you'd like. System seller, potential game of the year, landmark achievement; just make sure you buy it immediately.

The only thing that shocked us more was the fact that we instantly wanted to play it again from the beginning. With Mass Effect 2, BioWare have created an astonishing video game which is likely to entrance casual and hard-core players alike. The only requirement one needs to enjoy Mass Effect 2 is an inclination to become lost in its dark and wondrous universe. Oh, and perhaps a week off work.

The fluid systems -- the navigation, the combat, and the quick-fire missions -- combine to make Mass Effect 2 an RPG that challenges the genre conventions. The superb emphasis on character development, the gripping plot elements and big-budget presentation aren't too bad either.
