Hide your PSP playing with a fake book, courtesy of Sony

While this Sony marketing stunt is clever -- who wants to read books? -- we're not sure it's sending the right message regardless of whether or not the ruse is effective. On the one hand, if people realize that you're masking your latest round of Portable Ops by pretending to read a literary classic they'll soon come to the obvious conclusion: you don't know how to read. On the other hand, if they fall for it and believe you're devouring Dante's epic poem , they'll start to wonder why you've been on the same page for the last 45 minutes while periodically grunting and fidgeting. Again, the same conclusion is inevitably reached: you don't know how to read. We'll just play our PSPs publicly and proud, thanks.
