Expect it around midnight CST, several things are expected to be announced such as the new PS Phone, the PSP2, and other things. IGN is running a life blog, and I'll be updating this thread with info as it goes on.

Reports of PS3 Quality Graphics.

From Kojima while showing off MGS4: "This game used the model data and environments from PS3, and it was exported directly to NGP" and "On NGP, we can enjoy the same quality as the PS3"

Interesting. Playstation 3 graphics on a handheld? This won't change my plan anyway, I'll probably buy 3DS first as it comes out first. I'm not convinced yet about Sony's new offering and I must consider. Playing old Playstation games would be an important factor to me though. Any new info on it?

The comments in that webpage are full of fanboys calling each others fanboys. Fortunately TPM is different. I call you a fanboy you call me a fanboy POOOKEEEEMOOON!

It's a nice piece of hardware, hopefully it will won't cost too much. I will be waiting to see what games it has for it though. The only games I bought for my original PSP were Crisis Core and Final Fantasy tactics.

Strong hardware indeed, more importantly though is whether they have the software to back it up. It'll sell well no doubt.

It'll sell well...provided the price doesn't give handheld fans a heart attack like the first PSP did.

I hope it sells well, but I'll likely get the 3ds instead, but I will check out what games are on this once it comes out.

$300 sound good? (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/32666/Analyst_Expects_Sonys_NGP_To_Sell_For_At_Least_299 _In_US.php)
