Storage Medium :

- Games on the PSV will be available both via psn and retail, the "New Game Media" is the physical storage media for retail versions of games, it's a flash cards kinda like the SD cards, it's capacity will vary depending on the game and 10% or more of it will be reserved for the games saves, patches, DLC's...

- The PSV will not have any Internal Memory, but it have an aditionnal card slots (other than the new media card slot) my guesse i'll probably use the sony's memory sticks PRO Duo wich for now can hold up to 32Gb.

Dual thumbsticks. That is all.

I added links to trailers and videos for most the games, I got to say that i got more interested in a few games after watching their trailer, Sound Shapes seems really cool same for Shinobido 2, and Dynasty Warriors seems more unique on PSV, and Smart As seems decent.

Looks great. Might get one or a 3DS.

I'll sticky this.
