Sony has completely lost touch with reality and what's hip and in, such a far cry from when they burst on the scene. You know back when MTV still had music and was plugging the techno soundtrack of Wipeout.

Their problem is they try to please everyone, and please no one. They have no clue and no direction it seams.

MS will come strong out of the gate next gen and beat them back even further into oblivion.

yeah, but this conference was a big failure and consumers will see that they are not serious about supporting their platforms, so they'll all sell their ps3s and buy 360s and Microsoft will be number 1.

Yeah, to either a PS3 or a MediaGo (PC). Nobody gives a crap about Ad-Hoc multiplayer anymore but Japan, so you'll be all set.

I'd buy the $99 PSP

The only issue is it doesn't have wifi but can still connect to PSN via USB, right?

Sure, if you download games to your PC/PS3 then transfer them.

There's no point in buying this downgraded model unless they're making some noticeable changes to it.  Get a Go and hack it...can't beat that.
