Here's something nice to dream about: Sony is looking into bringing the PlayStation Store to the PSP, eliminating the need to connect the PSP to a PC -- instead, you'd just connect via the 'net and download away. So instead of needing a PC nearby to watch your favorite anime, you now just need to search for the nearest Wi-Fi hotspot.
With their bigger push towards digital distribution and the greater possibility of a PSP HDD, the future seems clear for their next console. Media files for the PSP will be appropriately scaled down in size, so you're not dealing with 400mb+ files when you want to watch an episode of Gunslinger Girl.
This makes downloading games slightly more appealing for me. I just never like to deal with the hassle of hooking up my PSP to the PC, and so the manga that I've had sitting on there has been there for seven months or so.
So, looking at all these PSP tidbits, here's a question for you all: how would you redesign the PSP, and would you launch it as a revamp, or try to make it into the truly next generation of the handheld?

The story works for PSP people.
So remember gamers, wrap up that joystick!!!
-Step One: RIGHT ANALOG STICK!
-Step Two: HDD or LARGE flash memory
-Step Three: Complete Wi-Fi file xfer/ps3 connect/stream/store/sync in other words. . .ditch the USB
Also I'd find a way to make the fucking thing more durable.
If the new one includes an HDD I hope they make it so you can copy your games to it. Another thing I'd LIKE to see, but doubt I ever will, is the ability to copy PSP games to the Playstation 3 HDD.
Last thing: speed up how fast the system starts. That thing is obnoxiously slow when you just want to play a quick game of something. That's why until recently I preferred by GBA:SP to PSP or DS, it started quickly and had no load times. I can put up with load times to a degree (thus why most of my games are on my memory stick) but some of these games have disgustingly long load time.
Post-op tranny, sure, but definitely not a guy. There is 0 bulge whatsoever.
...unless if he tucked it in...
a BTchip would be great in a future PSP and MSmicro cards are now available till 4GB in size, alot of room
Some good ideas for sure!

I feel the layout of the buttons needs to be changed or make the PSP a bit larger as my hands starts to hurt after playing for an hour or so and they get all cramped up.
They really need to allow homebrew gmaes or something as there are so many awesome titles that people create from the ground up that could be taken advantage of as 80% of the actual psp games blow.
