For the record, Microsoft did not create Achievements. They were originally called "Skill Points" and introduced by Insomniac in the Spyro Year of the Dragon on the PSOne, then Ratchet and Clank on PS2, and Resistance on the PS3. Seeing as how Sony owns Insomniac, Microsoft actually ripped the idea off of Sony, not the other way around. Granted, MS has done a good job of taking them platform-wide, rather than on a game-by-game basis - but the original idea remains Insomniac/Sony's.

The Wii? I'll save all my Wii playing time for Zelda and Sports. This has PSP written all over it! 7 Metal Slugs all complete with instant, in-your-face, pick up and play action + WiFi multiplayer!!! I can't wait! This is why I bought the PSP!

Ok, that last statement is bull. I bought the PSP for Lumines and Hot Shots Golf, kept it for Capcom Classics, Megaman, Field Commander, Bust a Move, and now love it for LocoRoco, Lumines 2, EEE, and soon, MGS Portable OPS and METAL SLUG ANTHOLOGY!!!

Why do you hate Sony so much? Was it really necessary to use this picture as an opportunity to highlight two of the worst games for the PS2 and PSP consoles? Wouldn't PS3 Madden look much better next to a shiny, new Final Fantasy XII or Okami and GTA Vice City Stories, LocoRoco, or SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 2?

Are people really complaining about PS1 downloadable games on the PSP? What is there to complain about? PSP owners are getting the option of more content - whether they choose to play it or not is up to them - but you cannot argue that having the option is a bad thing, can you?

How many people still downgrage their PSP firmware to play retro titles? How well do games like Capcom Classics, Midway Arcade and Namco Museum sell? There is obviously a market there.

If the PSP cannot support the control scheme, then don't port the game over. Pretty simple. If they do port it over and you see reviews of shoddy controls, then don't buy it. Still simple.

7,000 games? 2,000 games? 500 games? 50 games? Who cares what the number is. If they don't deliver 7,000 are you really going to be pissed off because you were actually intending on purchasing/downloading all 7,000 of them? More games = more options and as a PSP owner, I am happy about that - no matter the number.

If I took a look back at the PS1 catalog, I will likely only be interested in playing 20 or so titles ever again anyway. If the publishing community serves up some of those key titles for me, then thanks! That's awesome! I'll take it! Give me Intelligent Qube, Devil Dice, Mr. Driller, the Oddworld series, the Metal Gear series, the FF series, FF Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Puzzle Fighter, Parappa the Rapper, Crash Team Racing, Bust A Groove, Chrono Cross, SOTN, etc., etc. and I am a happy, happy man.
