The screens good, the price of UMD movies have come down a bit now.]]>Jul 22nd 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/sony-said-to-be-prepping-psp-3000-with-built-in-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/sony-said-to-be-prepping-psp-3000-with-built-in-mic/
the games are mostly awful - more than anything the controls are trash.

what a waste of time

Even if that stuff is all technically capable now, it would need to be affordable for the device to be successful on the market. It's a balancing act and a question of priorities.

The current PSP is horrendous to view even on an overcast day, let alone sun. I think they should focus on that, personally. It should be about gaming outdoors and away from home, IMO, and it works so poorly in these environments (DS not any better).

So the PSP with one Analog, one Digital, and 8 buttons is going to lose to a device with no buttons, unless it gets a second analog?

Makes sense.]]>Jul 22nd 2008 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/sony-said-to-be-prepping-psp-3000-with-built-in-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/sony-said-to-be-prepping-psp-3000-with-built-in-mic/Also, in-game XMB, and in-game full screen TV out please.]]>Jul 22nd 2008 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/sony-said-to-be-prepping-psp-3000-with-built-in-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/sony-said-to-be-prepping-psp-3000-with-built-in-mic/

The lack of keypad, either touch or tactile is crippling for a phone and whilst it has skype, that relies on their being internet access nearby (and open access as well). It's fine for a quick natter to your friends, but it's just not comparable to a fully fledged SIM'd phone.

Not to mention that the iPhone has other stuff going for it than being a phone, it's got the App Store - 3rd party apps which Sony are too pig headed to allow and it is basically an iPod as well as a web browser (using a joypad for a mouse? no ta).

I do love the PSP but marketing it as a phone is stupid.

The PSP does have a store for digital content, and they're going to have videos and TV shows on it soon, in addition to the games, wallpapers, themes, etc. that's already there.

And another thing-- there has long been speculation on a PSP keyboard. Remember that? Just because it isn't out now doesn't mean it's never going to come.

While I agree that it isn't as dedicated as a phone as the iPhone, what you're saying is that it would suck as one, without thinking about the things that could very well come out for it in the near future.]]>Jul 22nd 2008 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/sony-said-to-be-prepping-psp-3000-with-built-in-mic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/sony-said-to-be-prepping-psp-3000-with-built-in-mic/"Above the truth is the truth, but not for you the truth"
