Hence our speculation. Is it 8Gb or 8GB?acascianelli said:Shit, if its just 1gb internal I don't think itll be very successfull. You can pick up a 1gb stick for like $50-60.
Erasmus354 said:Sony wouldn't dare put 8GigaBYTE's into the PSP. They are already crediting 1GB Memory sticks and piracy with a decline in sales of UMD movies. Aside from the obvious prohibitive costs, they simply wouldn't give the PSP that much memory just so that nobody would ever buy UMD movies ever again, ever.
acascianelli said:2gb memory sticks are around $100 now. UMD discs only hold 1.5gb right?

And the PSP is too small for a real hard drive. So you can easily speculate that they are indeed talking about 8 gigaBITS. In fact, Sony will likely advertise it as such, since many people don't know the difference. I'd put money on 1 gigabyte of built in storage, if indeed this PSP upgrade exists.
Id spend £280 on a peice of hardware that replaced my pda, my walkman, my portable movie player, touch screen gaming and my old phone, without batting an eyelid! I dont know where the $600 comes from, buying stuff in the uk to buying stuff in the us is not just a straight/near conversion, u guys in the US have got it easy with the prices of hardware!! People here in the UK bought the P910i for over £500 here in the UK JUST for a phone or £200 just on a walkman when you look at it that way the PSP is extremely appealing even more so is the DS. It probably the main reason the PSP has done extremely well here in the UK....we can afford it (no flaming please, just a joke )steviep said:For over $600 spent on a phone, they'd better freaking include a lot of memory
Would you want a $750 PSP (£375+), too?
Diablo2K said:The Keyword in that Article is GigaBIT, so 8 gigbit is only one gigabyte, not nearly as much as you are probably thinking.

pr0pensity said:"The PSP will feature 8GB of NAND flash, the sources stated."
That's the case with any type of memory. But software measures space in bytes.badasspenguin said:I think the quote is wrong. NAND memory is measured in Giga-bits. 16Gb chips are top right now.
16Gb = 2GB. It's gotta be 8Gb/1GB. Too bad, had me excited.badasspenguin said:I think the quote is wrong. NAND memory is measured in Giga-bits. 16Gb chips are top right now.

I wouldnt spend £375 on a 8 gig psp though, £300 tops, id spend 375 if it had the 8 gig and a touch screen etc...
Maybe they have a plan to make us buy movies/ tv series/music online or download maps for the future sat nav side of things where for the whole of europe or other continents youd need at leeast 2 gig, the possibilities are endless, maybe they will sell a revised psp cheap to get us to buy things of sony in other areas etc, who knows, the possibilities could be endless if they played their cards right. Id even be happy if the PSP stayed as it is, anything else is a bonus in my eyes even if it does increase the price.
LMAO u got me, i hold my hands up! (Its usually your job though!)steviep said:Why bring the DS into the discussion? .
Did you read our logical argument? The biggest single chip out there right now is 16Gb (2GB). There is no 64Gb (8GB) chip in existance, and even if there was the cost would heavily outweigh the advantages.Lunas said:Sigh people arguing over gigabit or gigabyte
It is 8 gig of storage not gigabit it hasnt been stated weather or not it will be in stick format or not and there was already plans to later this year release a 4gig and 8gig memory stick.
the new psp is sposed to be a little bigger to fit either built in memory or a hard drive. as well as an unknown number of new features.
The bigest flash mem based hardware that has been out for a while now is the 4gigabyte ipod nano. the new sony w950 also has 4gigabyte, why is it so hard to believe that 8 gigabyte flash hardware can be just around the corner for the same price as what the 4gig nano was when it first came out?sac_tagg said:Did you read our logical argument?

and yet i have herd from a source that it will be released with 4 to 8 gig of storage and that it will have a digital video camera and will be available in black white and silver....steviep said:Again, do you see Sony putting out a $600+ PSP? I don't (nobody would buy it, anyway). It won't be 8 gigabytes, it WILL be 8 gigabits, guaranteed. And that's if this rumoured "PSP 1.5" exists, in the first place.
RancidWAnnaRIot said:i just hope memory sticks get cheaper.. i would like more than 1 GB.. but at a cheap price
I don't even see a 64Gb part on that roadmap, 32Gb is the largest; and it's projected, not even out yet. Now it's "4 to 8" gigs? What happened to straight up 8?Lunas said:and yet i have herd from a source that it will be released with 4 to 8 gig of storage and that it will have a digital video camera and will be available in black white and silver....
and i gurentee you that sony isnt talking about gigabits all and all we will all have to wait for a official sony source to say other wise
humm assumptions all over the place... Agian never have i stated anything about the gigabit only that i was not sayign any thing about it. Plus the article and news on the psp 2 has always been 4 to 8 Gigabytesfinalgt said:I don't even see a 64Gb part on that roadmap, 32Gb is the largest; and it's projected, not even out yet.

Sorry dude, but I'm gonna trust facts over the guy on the internet with a source, who thinks it's spelled "gurentee."
