Is it xmas yet?

You've had your last Christmas, that was 2010. Christmas is now renamed as "the holiday season" by Americans and this is now in effect worldwide.

DO WANT! <3

Summer is the holiday season.

Christmas is clearly racist towards non-Christians.

[smouty]

Christianity is a religion not a race but we wouldn't want to upset anyone would we.

[Neon Ignition]

Christianity is a business, not a religion. But they don't want you to know that

It will be interesting to see which region they plump for if they can only get one out for crimbo.

As the PSP is still doing well in Japan, factor in the farting around they need to do with translations etc for Euroland i'd probably go for the US, especially as most of the game's shown so far are very much Western focused.

If this is the case i might have to VG+ this mutha.

[Neon Ignition]

Without the usual debates about them, I'm personally going to find trophies a major plus point with the PSP2. I typically have a lot of trouble holding my attention on handheld titles so anything that works as an incentive is a plus.

I haven't been paying attention too much to the capabilities, other than its shiny and has buttons.

Is there a prospect of playing something like Killzone on this, via PSN, over the internet with other players? If so I could want one, it would be perfect to fill my dull lunch-hours at work. I could play over the public wireless I have at work and won't have to worry about managers bitching about installing games on your work PC etc.etc.

You've picked up the main points. Add dual sticks to that and you're an expert.

Don't forget there will be two prices/two version.
WiFi + 3G model
WiFi only model

I must have completely missed the part when Sony said they were developing another proprietary memory card format for use with this system, grrrrr.

[Mr M0by]

For the first Xmas I think Sony should, or rather I hope Sony will launch in as many territories as possible; Japan, US & the UK will do just fine. The console being in short supply for the first 2-3 months could be more beneficial to creating the hype & demand than leaving one continent behind altogether for an extra 3-4 months.

Agreed, I reckon I could perform a dragon punch with that. I liked the PSP Go's d-pad anyway though and never had any problem with the d-pad on the dual shocks.

Is it xmas yet?

If I was making a controller, I would be making sure that my dpad was tested by dpad using hardcore Street Fighter players. Makes sense.

Has Gran Turismo been announced for it yet? (or am I too late for that joke?)
