While I agree with you with most things, I don’t really see any of those as major or even small problems.  More like Miniscule problems. 😊

I had already read your article, Just got done reading all the comments…. I can’t believe what most of those people are posting. Calling you a Nintendo Fan Boy. LOL. Most of them didn’t read correctly.

I’ll still buy it, just wish a stand alone version would ve available at launch instead of me buying the accessories myself and ending up with 2 of everything.

Killer app will be different for everyone, but I can definately see Wipe Out and GTA being sold out as soon as they are available. GTA will not be available on launch though.

I’ll wait for a price drop on this sucker. I can’t be wasting no $250 on a portable.

I thought $100 was nuts when I got my GB back when. I don’t care how much better the PSP is I ain’t paying no $250.

And do you think there will be some way to get like burned games on this thing because $50 games is ever dumber.  8)

The only way I’ll get a PSP is free, and im 7/6 for the PSP $400 bundle pack on grabfreegear and supposively they have 10k cap. Should I order it?

I don’t think you will be able to burn games since the format is UMD. Knowing people, they’ll be a way in a few.

Yeah Sony isn’t releasing any kind of UMD burning device.  So people are transferring movies to the pro duo card and running it off that.

However we are going to be able to download demos eventually.  Which means that we can run software off a memory stick. 😊

It’s pretty popular. I wouldn’t say it’s as popular as engadget, but it’s still good. :D So those are good links 😉
