As we all know the psp vs ds handheld war has been going on for quite sometime and the ds is beating the psp sales by a great margin in bought hard ware sales and software sales. Its no wonder though the psp is more expensive and the games also cost more so if ur not in it for the multi media functions y get it when u can get a ds + 3 games for the same price as one psp. heres what i think sony needs to do in a psp 2 if they want to win agaisint eithr nintendo or the ipod

1. the psp needs a hard drive its got the media functions but the expensive as hell memory sticks with inadequate memory ruin the full potential of them.
2. psp needs dual analogs that are more repsonive and raised then the original
3. psp needs a touch screen nintendo ds has proven that people like touchscreen and it is good for gaming,chating,browsing organizing stuff.
4. psp needs to be kept affordable i know adding a hard drive and all this other stuff may be expensive but prices will drop in the future and including a 30G hard drive might not be so expensive if they make it more then 300$ sony will fail again and nintendo ones all over again.
5. needs to support more video formats + audio formats like zen which i rarely ever have to convert
6. needs to have longer battery life
7. being able to connect psp to TV
8. make the games cheaper
9. elimanate piricy this may be impossible to fully elimanate it but give ppl a reason to update or have online games that check for cd keys / scan ur hard drive. if they can't do this psp will fail again.
10. include a keyboard + built in mic
11. make it louder
    
12. most important of all they have to make the psp smaller,slimmier and less wide some sort of fold of design or something that keeps he screen size relatively intact but makes it truely portable
    

If sony can do this in a psp2 then it will make the psp the best.

Before the year ends i plan on getting the following games

1. Monster Hunters Freedom(psp)
2. Field commander(psp)
3. Wii
4. locoroco(psp)
5. GTA:Vice city stories
6. Red steel(wii)
7. legend of zelda twilight princess(wii/GC)
8. Super mario galaxy(wii)
9. DS lite

  This is a problem i've always had since i first started getting into gaming games cost to much and everytime i go shopping for games there always 2 games i want to buy but i only have enough money for one.  This is a problem all of us have had at one point or another and i'll have to go through this again tomorrow when i have to decide between field commander of monster hunter for the psp.  It's desicion like these that really trouble me since usually I end up regretting my choice and wishing i had both the other one.  So my question is why do games have to be so expensive??? 50$ for a game is alot of money to spend on a game and psp aren't much cheaper at 40$ a game.  It makes me envy DS gamers who pay only 30$ per game.  Why can't all games be like  20$???
