The PSP unlike it's roots isn't meant for just playing games, movies end only those two forms of entertainment. Videos, Internet, Movise, Music, and Games all in the comfort of your pocket with the PSP.

Portable Entertainment System (That makes it the PES, right?) Well back to reality.

Play Station Portable

He ment the way it could be classified, i.e the ds is classied as gaming system.

Well, going back to the first post, I think that the PSP having more features isnt really a well made argument. The PSP has an audio player. You need to buy expensive memory sticks just so you can put 500 songs on it or whatnot. Instead of buying the memory stick, get the Dell Ditty or something. Also, how long battery do you get for it? 6 hours?

Movies. Well, unless you want to take up precious memory stick space, you need to buy UMDs, significantly more expensive than a regular DVD. A better investment would be a portable dvd player, you can buy em on ebay for 70 bucks. The 7 inch screens on them are just a tiny bit better to see, dont you think?

There are better alternatives to all of the PSP's features. All thats really happening is Sony taking your money. All this and what, maybe 6 hours to do it all in?

The PSP (or should I say PES?) is combining mediocre features as a marketing device and as an argument as to why it is better. Once you see through the PSP's other aspects, the only thing that should matter is its gaming capabilities which are lousy in my standards. They really should have sold the PSP in gaming-only style and the PES style. Just proves that Sony cares about money more than its customers.

Funny, I feel like Ive typed all that somewhere else too.

it seems we have a wise up-and-comer
