Oh yay, a current gen console with a weird controller included free! Even my mom thinks it sounds gimmicky, and she's one of the non-gamers Ninty is targeting with this thing. Sigh.

TEN MINUTES!!! I can't wait. :)

Gran Turismo baby!

Classic Sony. They make great hardware, then shoot themselves in the foot with propriatary formats. I have no clue how Japanese businesses function (or in Sony's case... don't function) but it seems like they need to reactive to the customers' requests. All these expensive formats with huge amounts of copy protection are slowly killing the company. A UMD compatible addon for the PS3 that could play PSP games and movies would surely give the format a much needed boost, and the ability to burn UMD's would be an AMAZING feature for consumers to take advantage of. It seems as if the fear of game pirating has forced Sony to cripple the PSP's capabilities. What they don't understand is that the majority of people won't pirate, and the added features will move many more systems.

P.S. I wonder if the reason Sony won't make UMD-R/RW discs is the fear that it will slow sales of their expensive Memory Stick Duo cards. Imagine paying a few cents for a 1.8 gb UMD-RW instead of the $150 it costs for a 2 gb memory stick. Us PSP owners can only dream...

Its not suprising to see the DS outselling the PSP by this much... the Nintendo name has been synonymous with handheld gaming for many years now. Being the owner of a PSP, I definately see an issue with the lack of exciting content... however I am confident that the library will eventually (hopefully?) become stronger.

One thing I notice hardcore Nintendo fans (notice how I avoid the "fanboy" label) doing is complaining about console ports/rehashes on the PSP. I think what many of you are overlooking is the fact that the PSP is meant to bring a console experience to the handheld market. While these systems compete for market share, they go about handheld gaming in completely different ways.

I am VERY worried that what we've seen with the PSP and DS is a preview of what we will see on the next gen consoles. With its rumored media center functionality, as well as ability to play Blu-Ray discs, the PS3 may suffer the same fate of the PSP in that it tries to do to much at once. Sony needs to realize that gaming is what made their Playstation division into the powerhouse it is, and without a great gaming experience on the PSP and PS3 they are dooming themselves. Hopefully their focus will improve and we will continue to see quality games on both Sony and Nintendo systems far into the future.

Why oh why must these right wing nutjobs make Christianity look bad? And blaming murders on children's games? Please. Kids sneak into R rated movies all the time, but there's no opposition to the MPAA's rating system or their enforcement policies. Someone name one problem that the ESRB ratings system has that is not present in the widely accepted MPAA system.
