Wherever i go i am seeing PSP games for $20 and under while DS games still fetch an average of $50 which tells me the PSP isnt doing well.

Sony need to revise the PSP, addressing its REAL problems. Switch to 100% flash memory, add another thumbstick and revise them to be more ergonomic, and other things which i have now forgotten. ]]>Jan 26th 2009 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/Jan 26th 2009 4:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/
Well the DS seems to be coping with flash memory cartridges just fine.

It may not be the PERFECT solution due to the fact PSP games are larger, but UMDS are a terrible format for a portable system.]]>Jan 26th 2009 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/
Sony still does not get that it will lose the battle with home brew coders. There are too many people interested in actually owning their electronics 100% and not having a locked in, DRM laden, restricted device.

You can argue about Piracy and the arguments regarding locked hardware and home brew rights, but the people at large have spoken:

We WILL have our hardware free. Period.

Now considering all that, why on Earth would I be interested in purchasing a new model that has not been through the process of being unlocked by the community at large?

I would purchase one without hesitation if the process of removing Sony's totalitarianism was easily repeatable and well known.

AFAIK, it is not. Which means sales will be stagnant with people like me.... and We Are Legion.]]>Jan 26th 2009 5:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/Jan 26th 2009 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/

ugh. When will Sony get the hint that their current tactics in the video game industry AREN'T WORKING!

**insert xbox360 / wii / ds / PC praise**]]>Jan 26th 2009 4:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/Jan 26th 2009 4:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/
The PSP is significantly more expensive than the DS yet the only real thing it has over the DS is graphics, which people dont seem concerned with.
The PS3 is significantly more expensive the the 360, yes the only thing it has is a Blu Ray player, which i personally cannot see ever overtaking DVD in sales.
The Vaio P is significantly more expensive than the other netbooks, yet it only offers a smaller form factor.

Couple that with the "recession" and well...it becomes even harder to justify spending the extra.]]>Jan 26th 2009 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/
The ONLY thing the PSP has over the DS is graphics? I think you need to look again.
The ONLY thing the PS3 has over the XBox is the Blu-Ray player? I think you need to look again.

And if you don't think Blu-Ray won't eventually surpass DVD sales, you may want to review your VHS collection. Every new format eventually takes over the old. It's just a question of how long it will take.]]>Jan 26th 2009 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/
the PSP's huge screen, analog stick, web browser, and multimedia functions make the system software better than the DS.
however, i will say that the DS is better because the games available are better, and when it comes down to it- that's all that matters

the PS3 is the most advanced system and has the best video game console OS ever made, its almost as versatile as a computer- it plays Blu-Rays, only system that can stream true 1080p videos over your home network, it can play any media, accept any USB device including external HDD's, you can save your files internally, on a SD card, a Memory Stick, a USB flash drive, just about anything. And the games may be worse for now compared to the xbox 360, but GTA:San Andreas was close to reaching the limitations of the 360 so soon enough games will be too big for DVDs, and games will become exclusive for PS3- and xbox owners will have to wait for the xbox 720]]>Jan 26th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/
One imagines you'd be spending those dollars on reducing the cost, not fragmenting the production line to increase the cost of production.

Especially when losing huge dollars and your lead products are struggling.

Then again, its this kind of decision (at this time) that demonstrates why Sony is hurting. I loved them for so many years :`(]]>Jan 26th 2009 4:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/
The fact that it comes with a new battery, makes me think its probably an anti-piracy measure from Sony.]]>Jan 26th 2009 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/Jan 26th 2009 4:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/
That, and a smaller screen of the same resoloution and I'm sold. These things are just too chunky as it is. Though UMD might be half the problem there. (Though I'd advocate keeping it somehow.)]]>Jan 26th 2009 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/Jan 26th 2009 5:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/
if ANY system manufacturer was to sell their hardware "unlocked" and primed for game piracy, they'd be writing their suicide notes. what game developer is going to spend their time and dollars making games that are going to be stolen and distributed for free? with sony already having a hard enough time with the UMD, it's in their best interest to keep things strapped down as tightly as possible.

pffft. the audacity...]]>Jan 26th 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/sony-adds-four-new-psp-carnival-colors-to-worship/

Ditch the darn UMD. UMD games should be downloadable. Add more internal flash. Add second joystick.
