One should think that everybody who ever wanted a PSP now has one, but mad genius Hideo Kojima believes that there are plenty of people ready to be turned into fans, and that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is the game to do it. How will this happen? Well, that's a secret!
"There's an unannounced system that will surprise you. It will make you want to rush out and buy a PSP," boasted the MGS creator while chatting with Famitsu.
What could this secret system be? I find it hard to believe that non-PSP owners are going to chomp at the bit for anything related to the portable PlayStation, but I'm sure current adopters are in for a treat. The game's already looking amazing, so quite what this system will be is anybody's guess. I'm going to make my own bet that it will involve the PS3 somehow, and possible connect with MGS4.
What are your guesses?

Kojima is going to rid the world of nuclear arms through the medium of video games.
That or we can download different characters from different ip addresses... again -.-'
Also, I want to be the first to make this pun: Sony should market a Playstation line of sports shoes, with optional DualSock 3 support.
One word: No.
Elaborated:
No chance in fucking hell I would buy a PSP you crazy little man.
I like metal gear, but I hate the PSP, I find it ugly, over priced, and no game on the system interests me in any way. If I want to see Peace Walker I'll wait for a playthrough to be available on youtube.
I don't understand why Kojima feels the need to have a 3rd person camera for the game. I would be fine with a fix camera position like MGS1, 2 and 3... which in turn, would free up a lot of the controls.
@Zcdrike: seriously of the games out for the system NONE interest you?
Or, if it is PS3 connectivity related, maybe something like being able to Download your MGO character to the game...
Eh, who knows...
Heard it here first.
After 2 hours of cinematic, the game turns into a date sim, and you get to date Akina Minami.
And thats the only way Hideo can make me like the MGS series....
THAT would make people buy a PSP to get this game.
*DING*DING*DING*
WE HAVE A WINNER!

I see what you did there, you don't need a 1000 to be a super haxxor, in fact, you can pirate even the 3000, most of the 3000s are hackable and ALL the 2000s are hackable, all by firmware; if you unlock it by the hardware method (changing the battery to a pandora battery) every PSP is hackable, including the Go!
Oh wait, PSPGoers won't even get the packaging. Double fail. Ha.
Also cocks.
Whatever it is, no it won't
Love,

Captain Obvious Logic Award has been given to Hideo Kojima, folks.
Yeah, but Pandora battery is extra money, and I already know how to hack the 1000, but not anything else. I could learn I guess, but it would probably be a hassle and I could just borrow my friend's PSP to play the game.
"I find it dosappointing that snakes in brawl but not even the first metal gear is on a nintendo ds or wii. I mean he got something.. Did wii? Off topic and fanboyish I know."
You do realize that there were two Metal Gear games on the NES and a Metal Gear Solid remake for the GameCube called "The Twin Snakes", right? Would be nice if they would bring the original MSX2 games to the PSP since the PS2 re-release of MGS3 that had them is hard to find now. That wouldn't be this "MUST HAVE" feature...but it would be nice.
Choke that bitter load down, Kojima.
...hang on, the PSP lineup is fucking wicked! Why was I thinking there are only a few good games?!
i love my PSP.
