I was checking my favourite video game news website when I saw this. http://www.cheatcc.com/ccc_newsserver/Article.aspx?PostID=375126 Like it said in the article, they have NOT announced what is going to be the features for the new upgraded model. I'm hopeing that it still has the online capabilities since if it does I might go pick it up since I only have the dope 1001. So discuss about what you what features do you want on it for example - better analoge stick - brighter screen - etc.
