I hope this 'slimer' model makes it look a tonne better. :/

What the hell?

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. The PSP is a fucking beauty compared to the DS

Im all for a new PSP redesign. mine got stolen a few weeks ago, but it was in VERY bad condition and barely worked (along with my 4gb card, which was the worst thing) so I need a new one, and it being taken is my reason to pick up a new one. ill have to hold off until i see this redesign though. I cant wait for Rock band Unplugged. Im hoping theres some sort of backwards compatibility between DLC you bought for the PS3 version

I suppose it is a testament to the Sony brand, in a way.With a company as successful as Sony, people have the expectation that they will be triumphant in everything they do. I mean, when you sell 140 million + PS2's worldwide, people expect that success to be repeated again and again.

-It took four -years- for it to reach that.
-The PSP was supposed to kill the DS within six months of launch.
-The attachment rate is in the shitter.
@Matt Dusza:No, the PSP has not been more profitable then the GameCube. The GameCube was profitable from day 1 and up till it's lifespan ended. It also had a higher attachment rate and nowhere near the piracy issue that the PSP suffers from.
The DS isn't a freak of nature, because it's forefathers repeatedly beat down more advanced rivals with ease. The PSP's profit margin hardware and software wise is nothing compared to the DS's.
@Komrade Kayce:Not completely. Pokemon sells fantastically everywhere. Monster Hunter is largely unknown outside of Japan.
@James Johnson:It's not Sony's job to shrill third party games.

As far as more games for PSP, of course I'm all for it. I love my PSP, and the more games the better. Games like Assassins Creed definitely peak my interest, and I'm glad they are looking into expanding their library by going back into the PS1 vault, so to speak. Japan has been doing that for awhile now, and I always wondered why N.A. hasn't followed suit.

(2008 was the worst year for it, no doubt.)

Ok. But I still need another joystick.

And they did say about it being able to have BC on it.

Of course unless Sony decides to add a 30gb internal hard drive to it.

Games should be downloadable from the psn store considering it can be accessed directly from the psp now. Also, xboxlive's size limit is 300mbs. Psn will support up to 2gbs as far as I know with R&C quest for booty being 2gbs or so. I can't see the average psp game needing more than a gb. Besides, if anyone is bitching because they need to carry around 20 games at one time, that's not a storage problem that's a personal problem. Who the hell carries around their entire ds or psp library especially if its over 7 or 8 games? You carry what you're playing and leave the rest at home. Store what you're playing leave the rest on the ps3 hdd or in the store until you're ready to play it.
Bring it sony. I'm all for a umd-less psp. Could you give it a touch screen too

Something tells me the people who would go out and buy Imagine: Babies! wouldn't be first in line to pre-order Monster Hunter.
02/27/09
Monster Hunter is to PSP as Pokemon is to Gameboy.
I bought a PSP the day after I played MH for the first time. Best decision ever.

Sony really needs to bite the bullet and lower the PS3 price for bigger distribution.

Do you want actual growth and momentum this generation? Try the following:
1. Drop the price on the PS3 and PSP to make them more competitive.
2. Market the PS3 and PSP and games systems and not as all-in-one media devices.
3. Spend money to secure exclusives and timed exclusives for the PS3 and PSP. Don't let MS walk away with all that DLC. (This is why I got Fallout 3 for 360, btw.)
4. SCEA: get off your asses and start making the deals necessary to bring more PSone titles to the PSN Store. At last glance, the US had less than 30 titles. The Japanese store has over 220. Fix that!
5. Drop the price on first-party games.
6. The PSN Store is a goldmine for unique full and downloadable games. Why not exploit this position?

Add on SCEE for our friends across the pond. They make SCEA's PSN store look like a model to follow.
