Dear Sony...
The PlayStation Portable continues grow in ability and features, with
new updates and system overhauls released to enhance the system. Still,
PSP owners are eager to see the system play at its maximum potential,
to use all of that horsepower inside this powerful handheld system for
bigger and better features. We want system-wide abilities that make
gaming on PSP better and faster and more reliable, like cross-game
Friend Lists and more common Game Sharing. We want multimedia that's
open and that plays just about anything we can stick on a Memory Stick.
We want PlayStation Store on PSP so we can download and play games and
demos, just like big-brother system PS3 can do. We want PlayStation
Network on PSP so we can talk with our friends on PSP (or PS3) over
text, voice or maybe even video. We want developers to have the option
to unlock the full 333MHz ability of the PSP, giving us peak
performance for even more incredible games and features. In short, we
want the PSP to be all that PSP can be.
What started as just a goof in our write-up of the new PSP v3.03 Update on what we'd like to see next time spurred a flood of emails to IGN about what readers would like to see the PSP's next system update include. Some of your ideas are out-there, while others sound completely doable in future PSP updates (and, if we wanted to get snarky about it, we could mention that some features have already been done by the PSP homebrew/hacker community, but since most PSPs lock this content out for fear of piracy, few gamers get to enjoy these unofficial PSP programs.) After the first 300 messages came rolling in, we knew we had to share these -- we also knew we had to get these ideas out there in the hopes that Sony would see what PSP owners are thinking about and pick up some of the ideas for the system.
