No game should require simultaneous front/back touching as that would impossible for kids to do with their small hands, unless the game is oriented vertically.
So were touchscreens and the Wiimote when they were first introduced. Just depends on whether they turn out to be accepted or not. If they are then they'll stop being a gimmick and be part of the norm.
I really, really want a multi save-slot feature so you can stop any game at any time, with the ability to resume where you left off even when switching to another game. Come on Sony!

Except devices are build around the "gimmick" of touchscreens and Wii was built to utilize the "gimmick" of motion control.
The back touchpads just seem to be an added "look we're doing something different" feature.

Fair enough. I'm just judging based on what i've seen so far today.
But honestly I cant think of many OMG THATS SO AWESOME features that use the back touchpad.

Advantage of back touchpad:
1 - Doesn't block the screen
2 - Doesn't dirty or damage the screen
3 - Can be used without taking your hands off the D-Pad/Analog Stick/Buttons.
it's obviously going to be backwards compatible with PSP games, with a pixel doubling feature to watch them fullscreen
Not with UMD games.
Maybe they'll come up with some sort of external device that lets you copy UMD games into those cards?
That would probably be the best option.
Nah they'll probably just bring over the bestsellers to the PSN. Making a hard-copy device for UMDs is just asking for trouble in the long run.
They didn't include it in the PSPGo so I doubt it'll be included here.
That 'Near' app is creepy. Why would I want one of my devices to track me in real-time and leave a bread-crumb trail? So I can trace back my steps if I lose my keys?

That makes no sense whatsoever. How is it any different from the DS having two screens or a touch screen? There are plenty of DS games that don't require their use.

This. Basically think of the back touchpad as an alternate control method and not an extra button.
As something to reduce smudges on the screen, this is already a big plus in my book.

I know, but the stream I saw was really low res.

Ross, the guy that manages the PAL PS Store has been hinting at some upcoming changes.

Would Skype count?
Not with UMD games.

No, it traces your footsteps. Stalks you, really.

not really, no.
I really hope we can turn off this wi fi gimmick like we could on the 3DS.

We still don't have BbS available for download due to some bullshit Disney issue.

And it's fucking glorious. I keep adding $100 for every feature.

If the games are good and it's priced reasonably, I have no problem with this.

£230 for a 3DS was already retarded, wonder how aggressive Sony will be?
I'm thinking games will look glorious on that great big (relatively speaking) screen at that resolution.
2 x sticks is good too. And the back panel sounds interesting.
They didn't include it in the PSPGo so I doubt it'll be included here.

Is it just me or is that the exact same font from Wii Sports?
At least double that.
Which is what they tried last go-round and in the end didn't really work out.
I'm a bit baffled as to why they're trying it again.

I thought that said PARA, thought Sony stole my username.
