lol an 80 gb psp is not possible unless they use ssd hard drives which cost sh*t loads to buy independantly maybe you should get used to dreaming, though if they stop making any games for it or make a psp that could only get games from the ps3 then you could have maybe a 20gb max where the current disk drive is. apart from that the psp is getting more like the ds minus the touch screen which no doubt will probably happen in the no so distant future.

UMD already dead. Sony has nothing to lose by adding SD stuff on the Blu-ray discs for PSP viewing.
Added:Tue 08th Jan 2008 21:04, Post No: 23
good point but i think i would only pay about $250 and not bother with the touch screen.with mobile tec in there you could play games over the net any time any where but only at a reasonable price of course.
Added:Tue 08th Jan 2008 18:03, Post No: 22
Sony should have added a 40 or 80 gig internal hard drive like the ipod to the psp instead of making it thinner and lighter! With the extra space it would be the same size as the Orignal psp but with a hard drive! get the word out maybe they will hear our call! touch screen,Phone,internal camera, calender! I will pay $500 to $600 for this better then iphone because of games and UMD but same price!

fair enough about the head set although i've been trying to buy one for a while now and you can only get one with socom navy seals.but i already own the game and refuse to buy it again just for the headset.try'd ebay but prices are over valued with no idea if it still works.
