Preordered the game. Loved the offline play, and the gfx. But the multiplayer failure has left Disappointed in anything that splash damage releases. Ended up selling the game and reserving Deus Ex. Hope that game doesn't fail as well.

Too Late Sony. Sold my PSP-2000 a couple months ago. Your PSP line is dead to me. So when are we going to see that promised keyboard?!

Or he's asking for so little in hopes that MS settles out of court. If it were billions it would take a long time.

I call bullshit on this one. Mainly because there was a video on 20/20 about how there is a department head working @ Microsoft that underwent a gender change. Thing was an hour long, and the employee is still working @ MS. Not to mention 20/20 went over how HR was assisting the employee through the whole process.

I suspect in the case of Jamie, its pure BS & is bitter about something else and using his sexuality as a scape goat. Seen it done before & makes for a difficult case.

Alright well I guess I will be the @$$hole that will say.. Just port it to XNA. Hell if its any good Nintendo might actually respond to the guy. And he could be making money on the title via the XNA Community Games marketplace. So he would have some kind of portfolio of prior work. Live and learn I guess.

Kind of a stupid thing to say considering how fast the Auto industry would waste the money. GM alone hemorrhages $20 million a day. They(auto ind.) would waste Take2's profits in less than a month.

At the rate Sony is working on releasing Home, you probably wont see the PS4 5 years after the Xb0x720. And then it will get delayed another 3 years before its grand release and "huge potential".

Look I have a bunch of games for the system, played & tried most of the games on the list from metacrytic. Most of them way over-rated. And a lot of them are hack-jobs especially where quality is concerned.

Lets just take the sellig points for the PSP..

Internet > Granted much better than PSP-1000 but you cant even play Youtube on it.. But if its modded you can. Browser runs out of memory all the time.. Is it even using all the memory of the PSP-2000? Seriously doubt it, seems like the code is the same from PSP-1000..

Video > Completely useless. Need to convert my videos through some odd video coder just to get it running cause no one puts videos out anymore. Make it work with whats out there, not work just specially for the PSP..

Movies > Sad that UMD's died, but they were way overpriced and they deserved it. So what now??

Podcast > Doesn't read a majority of the feeds out there, and it only supports .xml files no .asp or anything thats dynamically generated. Awesome..

RSS > As mentioned before.. extremely limited RSS feed support. And what gives with only supporting file downloads, most RSS feeds are text based.. What gives.

Music > No major complaints here, does a great job at it. Used it a lot of times, and got longer play times than my old ipod.

Games ..> Already talked about it but lacks serious quality.

Now with the quick list of problems that exist, and the PSP has been out for a _very_ long time now.. You can't tell me that they need another version which will not solve any of these issues. And they are general selling points that Sony makes about the product and they are only SOFTWARE issues, and they cant even get that right.

I modded my PSP just so I could get some decent use out of it, but its a chore just to do that. Hell CPS1 and CPS2 have better games than most of the games on metacritic.. and they are emulators. I will say onething. the PSP is by far one of the best hand held emulation platforms created, thanks to the modding community, and a small part to sony just for making the hardware..

So you tell me why they need a new revision of the PSP hardware when its clear that they need some work on their Software.

Look I wait at first when the PSP came out, mainly because it needed a lot of polish. When the second edition came out, I got that one. But its amazing how much Sony can drag their heels on a product and provide so little support for it. Hell, the underground community provides 10x the applications than what Sony ever has.

And now they go and pull an Apple ipod textbook tactic, just so they can prevent the device from getting hacked, but its pointless since the millions of PSPs out there they will do nothing about it.

They ask the community why people hack their PSPs.. Clearly when you say that you can get RSS feeds and the RSS feeds is gimped and is in serious need, but wait the underground community fixed already.. they wonder why??!!

Its pretty clear that Sony is completely out of touch with their userbase. And that is the main reason why I am dumping the product. I bought the PSP cause I wanted it to succeed, but after the incredible poor support they have offer for the device theres no point. I mean just provide more apps and have more than one person actually working on the PSP project..

Probably it didn't cost a thing when having to deal with the memory constraints that they had experience with Elder Scrolls..
