I guess they will eventually make something marginally more powerful, right?

Sony needs to cut their losses and GTFO of the handheld business. Make that the videogame business, period actually. You guys had a good run, but they're looking more and more like the late SEGA days. This thing doesn't even play existing games, unless with a transfer? This thing seems like a Sony shot in the dark to cut down on piracy, by having download only games.

I still can't believe this is the actual thing. Sony can be so fucking stupid it makes my head hurt.

I'm legitimately upset about this, so much that I embarrass myself when I think about how upset I'm getting.

N-Gage QD was a better hardware upgrade than this.

Ugh No, even with this idiotic redesign, I'm still grateful for having another handheld besides by DS. Can you imagine how fucking horrible it would've been if only we had the DS this gen?

That's basically the only handheld anyone cares about anyway. I haven't heard shit about the PSP for like a year, its the most forgotten videogame system on the market. No one ever talks about the games on it (maybe because they're all readily available on consoles.) And then when most the games come out, they don't sale because everyone just pirates them. The whole movie thing crashed and burned there (as predicted.)

Just look at the release list here:

06/08   Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10
06/09   Class of Heroes
   Indiana Jones and the Staff of ...
   Rock Band Unplugged

Why are you all upset? This looks like a hardware revision ala dsi and not a successor. If anything its a test product for digital distribution. Now if there are exclusive GO games incompatible with older units then shit sucks yeah. They should've implemented more standard hardware features in the unit though.

That was for Hollywood who had the audacity to post a list of the PSP's upcoming releases

If anything it's clear that companies were holding off on announcing games until the announcement of redesign debut.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Motorstorm, LBP, and Assasin's Creed. Ok, I'm done.
[close]

I don't do list wars. The point isn't the games I listed, I just got a release date to show the AMOUNT of games there are. There's just not that many anymore. No one buys games for it. You can say thats because of piracy or because people just bought it because it was the new sleek electronics thing, or whatever it is. I don't disagree with you on that having competition is a good thing, but as far as what this console brings to the table its almost completely irrelevant. Sony's never really made PSP something where buying games for is offers you something different from playing a PS2 or PS3.

Aren't both DSi screen touch based? That didn't break the older games! And the fucking DSi was BC with existing DS games!

This is a half assed attempt at a PSP2 anyone that thinks differently is a tool. They're rushing it out to compete with the DSi and it just wont work.

No, only the bottom on is still a touchscreen. Still, it's got a totally different firmware and a camera and an SD slot and online store, all of which can't be accessed by old DS games.

Yeah, I saw it coming since this the whole idea of this redesign is to battle piracy. No more pandora.

Makes sense.

By not including a second nub, making it hideous and all around piece of fucking shit, it's not going to appeal to pirates at all. Better yet, it's not going to appeal to anyone at all. Piracy rate is 0% percent. Brilliant effort.

I know but it does seem like Sony is burning bridges with this model. Not really sure how much momentum the system has to justify doing that (making a large portion of their library inaccessible by not having UMDs)
