as one of the seemingly few people who really enjoys their PSP, i'm incredibly excited about this platform and game.  

Wonder what the battery life is like.

Considering I just spent 1100 on a 3DTV to mostly play Uncharted 3 in all its stereoscopic glory I'm probably not the best person to tackle the question of "What are you willing to spend to play a game?" but I will say that Golden Abyss appears to be justifying my inevitable purchase of an NGP. 
 
I bought a PSP on day one also and I was happy enough with that purchase to upgrade to a PSP-3000 a few years later. Sure its not the greatest system ever made but its served me pretty well over the years. The initial problem with the PSP was the bevy of PS2 ports but as the system went on that wasn't so much of a problem; lack of games due to the most rampant piracy I have ever seen was the problem. That and most developers don't understand how to develop for one analog input anymore.
 
I feel that with Portable systems they give the ability to adjust consumer expectations so that developers are not always beholden to try and develop something to compete with current generation AAA console titles. I am a tad worried though that with the power of the NGP there is going to be the need to spend the same kind of budget on an exclusive NGP title as there would be on a big multi-platform release. In which case Sony will be the only ones willing to do that, but I think Sony is going to push hard and I'm willing to take that ride while it lasts.

I hope the battery is doing at least 5 hours of play with 24 in standby. I want an NGP. 

On board, day one.

I've been told the thumbsticks are clickable.

...Mass Effect 3 for the NGP?

Sony Bend? Does this mean Naughty Dog plans to continue the trend of making the first three then handing the franchise off to move onto the next one?

Just looks a little janky to me.  Probably will wait to see the first God of War game they make for it. LOl!

This is one thing I am curious about, too.  Now, I don't really take my DS Lite out and about much either so a short life wouldn't change my gaming habits much, but on the same token, I'd like to know that it can last at least 1 cross-country flight.
           

Awesome!

I want

2-3 hours with the graphics turned off, 10-20 minutes with them on.

Obvious or not, there is a decidedly less tactile sense of interaction if you can tell Nate Drake to auto-climb a cliff face rather than specifically telling him to grab each individual handhold.

See Nintendo... how hard is it to show off a game that people instantly has people excited about the system and the game.  All that is missing is a Twisted Metal title and and good ol RPG.  Hell, I hope we get ports of older PS3 games that might be possible on it... like say Oblivion?

This may be what sells me on this thing.

i actually want this system...  looks sleek.

Damn it!  I could have resisted just about any game in the world, but this Uncharted business is going to make me buy an NGP.  No question about it anymore.  I can't miss out on Drake.  It better be on par quality wise with what Naughty Dog has done.  I sure hope they're involved in the writing.

Nice. Now put it on something I want to use, like the PS3.

Awssumm 
 
I have my fingers crossing for this E3 I need pricing already..  Im definitely looking forward for an NGP

Cant wait to get my hands on the system and the game.

Okay NOW I am interested in the NGP. Where can I send my money?

Looking forward to seeing this and learning more at E3.

The more I think about it, the more the Uncharted touch controls actually sound kind of cool. Of course, I'm not dropping hundreds of dollars on a new handheld anytime soon, but... it sounds cool.

I wanted to get a PSP last year until I realized there weren't really any games I wanted for it, especially now that the God of War PSP games are coming to PS3, but I've been itching to buy a handheld, for reasons unknown. Hopefully the NGP isn't too expensive, and has a decent battery life, so I can pick one up. If the price is too high, I'll easily pass on it for a year or so though.

confirmation that jeff played the NGP

I'm so uninterested in this

I wish it had an HDMI port right on it so I could just sit down and play it on TV. I don't understand why they don't also sell the games to work with the PS3? Because if they did, no one would buy an NGP?

I'm more interested in the Vita after the press conference, but not 100% sold.  I wonder if thhis will be ported to PS3 as every first party PSP game has been ported to the PS2.

Can't wait to get me one
