I mean, wasn't the original design concept drawn on like a napkin or something like that?

To celebrate they could have at least given us an Obama costume or something for $1.99

Plus the digital copy is actually 5 copies ;) If I had 5 PSPs that is... but at least I have it for my PSP3000 now and can add it to my wife's PSPwhatever once she gets one.
This still doesn't help the go though... since I can afford a PSP3000 with like... 4 16GB memory sticks for the same price... and be able to pick up bargain bin UMDs.

I think it's a wonderful design concept, but I'm not certain I'm willing to pay that much more for something that can do less than the cheaper model. Had they been the same price I wouldn't have a doubt which one to get, and even a slight price increase over the 3000 would be tolerated... but... now the PS3 is the only console this generation more expensive than the go.... and the 3000 is the cheapest (PS2 excluded since it's last gen), so it's quite a gap to bridge with just form (and less features).

I don't see how people can be afraid of games when there is so much potential.
My little brother, who is in 9th grade, is doing great in math and science. Why?
Well...I think it is because of his curiosity with modding games such as Half-Life/Half-life 2/other valve games as well as games such as morrowind and oblivion.
While I wouldn't say he is anywhere near as good as other modders, the fact that he enjoyed messing around and tinkering with games, I believe, has resulted in his curiosity and enjoyment for math and science.

Anyway, this is actually great. It'll be really interesting to see what browser games the 4-8 make!

Different people have different views. Learn to cope.

As JayD16 said below, when it is race/gender neutral, I'm all for it. Note that it targets the "historically under served", not the currently under served. So, you talk of "privileged" white male children, but where I come from, most of the white male children were quite underprivileged.
Basically, basing these kinds of things on sex or race is, by DEFINITION sexism and/or racism. And that's fine, as long as the government has no role in it. But when it does, that's racist/sexist in an inappropriate place. If you can't handle that, you're blinded by your prejudices.

"a variety of Entertainment Software Association-backed initiatives" "part of a $2 million 2010 Digital Media and Learning Competition funded by the MacArthur foundation."
NOT. FUNDED. BY. THE. GOVERNMENT.

I, too, and a science PhD student, and I think kids should understand the value of science as well. All kids.
@Moral_Avenger: You want to revoke a star based on an opinion someone else has, and has stated in a non-inflammatory manner?
@nuh uh no way: It seems you are correct. It isn't funded by the government. But it is supported by it, and by the president. A program, that, at its core, has racist tendencies should not be supported by the office of the president (if he wants to do so on his own time, cool).
Bottom line is, racism isn't going away if people keep A.) being racist, and B.) using it as a crutch.

And that is not racism.
Racism is when an individual or group makes an _assumption_ about another individual or group based on race. "Black people are good at singing," for example.
Saying things like "poor minorities statistically have a harder time getting a leg up in life in the United States" is a hard fact, not a racial statement. Responding to that with charity is standard. Course, a bunch of people complain when the tiniest fraction of their tax money is used for charity because of some deep-seated ideological resentment.
Yeah, you're a real hero.

my 5 year old was pwning NSMB on the DS at 2 and a half. at 5 he can surf the web, UNASSISTED. this new generation is alot more intuitive than some of you guys think.why try to underestimate the will of the youth?
i dont think LBP will scare the shit outta of a kid whos prob already done way more riskier stuff in real life.

On the flip side you also learn less about the computer because you don't have to trouble shoot it all the time and you get coddled by all these easy games which gives you a different perspective on games.
11/23/09
I have faith the younger generation will take stuff like LBP and let it fuel their imaginations just like legos fueled mine and maybe even more!
I also have no doubt plenty of young kids will get the hang of this instantly.

i agree. this new generation excites me. its not all slackers and dontknownothins. its up to us to show them the door, im almost sure they will walk through it.
off topic:

Not quite. They just need to read good books, watch good films, and not have access to crappy licensed games. It's pretty simple, actually.
Also, there was something about Obama and PS3 and LittleLargeEarth or something. I didn't catch it all but apparently the White House is going to regulate Sony.
