Would you pay extra for the psp2 had a umd disk drive?

no , and it won't ever have umd drive so don't bother asking for it : the psp was too easy to pirate games from because of the umd disc format . that's why the next generational portable ( not psp2 ) will only have digital downloads and games available on flash card which can be locked in a separate partition and can't be accessed to copy illegally . they will have proper security , and save to an open partition directly on the card .
