@jedbeetle: probably sitting in Patrick Seybold's bedroom. Maybe he made a bed out of it. Imagine that, he could then say that he sleeps in a PSP.

Stephen, nothing is bigger than the Atari Lynx.

@bakagaijin: Mine is bigger than that tiny piece of hardware... and it plays Toki, or Gates of Zendocon, which the PSP can't.

OK, I must say the truth: I likes my Lynx, but the PSP is what we could we wish for, back in those Lynx years.

@franckv: I had a Lynx back in the day. I loved it. Going from a black and white Gameboy to the Lynx was like night and day. It really was cutting edge.

Sadly, I don't remember why I got rid of it, or who I sold it to.

@bakagaijin: Honestly, I feel sorry for you: I still have my Lynx and it doesn't feel its age. OK, some games, like the golf "simulation" or Rampage look like oldies, but Blue Lightning (the "Afterburner" wannabe) and the ones I mentioned above still look (and play!) good, when I'm in a retro mood.

Keep your PSP, bakagaijin, so that you're not left with regrets, one of those days! ;)

@franckv: Ahhh, Rampage. I have fond memories playing that game.

Rest assured, I won't be making the same mistake twice. I'll be keeping all my systems.

Hey, I was a young. When do the words teenager and common sense ever go hand in hand?

Didn't you hear? They're replacing it with a slightly cheaper version that takes a little bit longer to play videos, but is a hell of a lot smaller.

I would always get distracted by that giant thing, even while crossing the street. That busy, busy intersection...It's a crossing hazard, and I'm glad it's gone.
...sorta.

If at all possible, you should convince Sony to let you keep the PSP in your Kotaku LA office.

You can keep it on display just like Batman does with his giant penny. :)

Sony took it down not to tip off the unsuspecting masses about their secret program to build an army of giant PSPs. They'll be like Sentinels, except that instead of muties, they'll hunt down pirates.

Well what with the focus on slims, having a giant fat PSP was sending the wrong message.
Either that or some hacker invented a giant pandora battery and stole the psp for personal enjoyment. >_>

There'd be some irony in advertising the newer smaller slim with a GIANT PSP towering over you. But I'd be lying if I didn't say that advert wasn't the reasons I have a PSP phat in my collection right now.

Ok... there is more going on to this story then you people realize. Kids just don't up and run away from stable homes. It doesn't happen.

There was some sort of abuse or otherwise associated with the kid in his upbringing. Physical, mental, sexual, something happened to this kid while growing up. Could of been his parents, friends, bullies or otherwise. His coping mechanism was the 360.

The 360 was a safe choice too: he could be doing drugs or cutting himself.

Chances are this kid had problems and he already had a foot out the door already. Taking away the 360 was catalyst. Sad story, but I've heard it before.

Working in youth shelters you see this way too often.
