They'll be showing screenshots and live demos. A video stream would have been awesome.

 

[Raine]

Surprised to see only one liveblog for this. Hopefully Sony has a video up afterward.

 

[slider]

Weird, a Google search shows plenty of liveblogs from last year's event. Hmm.

 

[phosphor112]

Mmm, pressure sensitive screens?

I hope these aren't the PSMeeting demos

 

[Dead Prince]

2GB and 4GB game cards.

 

[V_Ben]

2GB & 4GB game cards.

 

[NomarTyme]

wow game card memory is pretty low.

 

[Zoe]

I'm assuming those capacities will scale with time.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Gamecards are not as big as I thought they would be.

 

[AranhaHunter]

2GB and 4GB game cards.

Seems kinda small. Isn't that the same size as the 3DS ones?

 

[Dead Prince]

They're going to have 3G and Wi-Fi. 3G has GPS

.

in there for 3G

 

[V_Ben]

I'm assuming those capacities will scale with time.

For sure. These certainly sound like launch sizes.

 

[phosphor112]

2gig and 4gig cards.
Wifi and 3G available. 3G has GPS along with it.

 

[thuway]

I'm sure game card size will increase as time goes on .

 

[Sipowicz]

wait what's happening? is there a conference or something?

 

[Achtius]

how big are psp games in comparison?

[HaRyu]

That seems really odd that only one site seems to be doing a liveblog, but oh well.

 

[Dead Prince]

hopefully like nintendo Sony aggressively push for hotspots.

4x Arm 9 Core. High performance 32-bit cores

umd is 1.8GB i think.

UMD can hold 1.8 GB.

UMDs are 1.8GB (around 1.4GB-1.66GB in practice)

 

[plainr_]

wow game card memory is pretty low.

They obviously kept PSN downloads in mind. Downloading 8gb games sounds ridiculous for a handheld.

 

[LCfiner]

there's a panel for NGP but no new thread? jeesh. almost missed this.

anyway, following along now.

 

[phosphor112]

Lol ^^

2GB and 4GB game cards.

Yeah, this is pretty shocking and disappointing. I was hoping for a 6GB option.

Also:

"They're going to have 3G and Wi-Fi. 3G has GPS"

It'll be even more disappointing If the WiFi model doesn't come equipped with GPS.

Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

wtf? why havent they got a livestrema like the nintendo one? they could have fucking publicised it as well

2-4 gb's is more than enough for starters on the NGP. it's up to twice as much as the psp and 3ds, they'll probably need less storage space because it's a handheld and they can always install data on to the memory if need be like the psp

UMD holds 1.8 gigs I believe.

also remember that umds were shit so even a cartridge the same size is a huge improvement

 

[slider]

Not complaining, just noting... this guy makes an awful lot of typos!

But pics later!

 

[TheExecutive]

game cards does not necessarily mean storage cards

I thought they were specifically talking about the cards games come on? Afterall this isnt a fully digital platform... right?

 

[NomarTyme]

Yeah I agree that 2-4gb is enough for launch games.

I think hes typing on an iphone (autocorrect).

Maybe his laptop keyboard sucks. My keyboard kinda janks up, omitting letters sometimes... or the form factor of the keyboard might be new to him? Giving him the benefit of the doubt =P.

Also pics will be posted later =D!

 

[Zoe]

I'm assuming that Jinfash wanted a 6GB option for storage because as a consumer, the 2GB/4GB game cards should not matter to him.

 

[HaRyu]

Didnt they initially say that the PSP2 had game cards, and was going to use some sort of memory card/memory stick thing too? And didnt they also say it had on-board storage?

 

[Shadow780]

Who is the coding genius that joined Sony to make Uncharted NGP 4GB?

 

[phosphor112]

Screen Rez: PSP- 480x272, NGP- 960x544
Game Size: PS3 Games- 9GB, NGP- 2-4 GB

 

[Jinfash]

game cards does not necessarily mean storage cards

I know, but looking at some of the game demos, I was expecting a larger storage for game cards from the get go. I can see it being a limiting factor if they don't end up going with larger cards for larger games, which is virtually possible I guess.

 

[Dead Prince]

Cores: PSP- 1 core, PS3- 6 high performance cores, NGP- 4 symetrical cores

.

 

[Cruzader]

Wait so games can range from 2gb to 4gb in capacity. This doesnt have to do with the flash card you can buy for the NGP right? Like 4GB max to store data is way too little. Hope im wrong.

They never mentioned on-board storage at all.

Yeah, I expect that the storage card will be much bigger.

 

[Dead Prince]

VRAM: NGP has a lot in comparison to the PSP

Clock Speed: Because it's portable it will not perform as highly as the PS3.

No way they would do that considering the emphasis they're putting on downloading these games off PSN
