"... you gotta make this one last. March 4th is still 158 days away."
It will last that long... just the loading time its about a month.

ah gawd, that was a good afternoon laugh Fernando, but if you knew a bit more about the PSP, you would know that the latest games take full advantage of the latest firmwares like for example FFVII:CC, which has fast loading times.
I seriously think that the people that bash the PSP are the ones that have NEVER tried one, otherwise they would know how great of a handheld it is, hell, even better than the DS (I have a white DS Lite, so yah)
So do yourself a favor Fernando, after your morning trolling, go and get at least a pre-owned PSP so you can see the joy that I talk about... :]
PS: Its funny that they put "NOT FOR RESALE" when the demo is special edition and they know well that its going to be resold...

Noshino... I have a PSP, and I even preorder the demo months ago.
And I dont think that the PSP library is better than the DS library. If I want to play the type of games of the PSP library, I use my PS2.

Ok, Fernando, here I present you a few facts
-PSP has more games out than DS right now (313 vs 295)
-The average rating of PSP games is 67.36 compared to the average rating of DS games which is 64.22.
-PSP has 50 titles that scored 80+, DS has 44 titles
*Source: Metacritic
"Does it still fire discs across the room for massive damage?"
yes, but you can just counterattack them with the Wiimote, be careful of your surroundings though...

Wow. I'm a Nintendo kid deep down inside and hispanic just like you, Fernando.
The difference: Even though I don't touch my PSP (come on GOW, Castlevania, etc. that will change that) I still think it's stupid to knock it for something as dumb as loading times.
There's a difference in being an active troll and acting your shoe size.
Congrats!

I have to wonder, is there any day you wake up and don't say to yourself, "I'm going to be a complete fucking chode today?" I'm wondering because, I think, if you remove this aspect from your daily life, you'd become a much better person. Hell, you may even get a trendy new haircut that doesn't make your siloutte look like a penis.

If Sony can do a demo for PSP.. why cant Nintendo do the same for the Wii? It would have saved Fernando $50 on Cooking Mama.
(and, it would be good to see PSP level graphics on the Wii for a change.. GoD PSP will blow everything on the Wii away... suck on that!)

Because Nintendo dont need to do that kind of stuff to make people buy their games.
If Nintendo first party makes a game, its good. That simple.

You know what? As much as I despise Sony (yet I bought a PSP and PS3 anyway), you have to give them credit where credit is due.
I've never received a demo from Nintendo that I didn't have to sign up for (Nintendo rewards, etc.) while Sony has been sending me demos for the PSP every once in a while. Pressing UMD's can't be that expensive but it also isn't free to them.

Umm.. why with an install base of 10+ milltion they have only sold 300k units of MP3 .. a game where people have waited years to play and buy? Halo3 sold that much in preorders a year before it launched.

300k in the first week Phattie. Its above average sales, like Bioshock.
Halo 3 its a different story.

It's very simple Fattie. The mommys and Aunties want nothing 2 do with those types of games. That is why the Wii will peter out within a year.
Look at Japan, Wii is in ample supply, yet for the last month or so, they are selling around 20k.
Even thought the PS3 is 2x's the price, it has still SOLD over 5 million systems in 10 months with none of the big games out yet.
HS and RaC have shown just a glimpse of what is in store for the PS3.
Back on topic, I am looking forward to playing my free demo that the Eviel Sony is sending me for free.

It's all but confirmed. I'm sure that the game is already well in development.

to get the demo you had to sign up for it on the playstaion website way back in march 2007 and they only took so many entries for it. Anyway can't wait to get my copy ;)
