Year in Review: March


One year after the PSP's successful US launch, people want a redesigned PSP. Check out the highlights from March of this year.

May I have the envelope please?
Then: "The mission is simple: redesign the PSP to improve upon its industrial design, its usability or its functionality (or all of the above)."
Now: Even now people are clamoring for a redesigned PSP. Why? I think it's still one of the sexiest designs around (although it's admittedly big).

Sony spills it; PSP to get camera, GPS, VoIP
Then: "The short but substantial list of add-ons for the PSP includes a camera and a GPS receiver. Along with a microphone, other notable points for the camera are that it will include a PSP version of EyeToy and will also feature video chat, which essentially turns the PSP into a mobile Voice over IP gadget."
Now: The camera and GPS accessory have hit Japan, with no clear US release in sight. However, where is EyeToy? Where is VoIP support? These seem to have simply disappeared.

Ready at Dawn readies a challenge for PSP devs
Then: "I don't want to play sub-par games just because I'm on a handheld."
Now: Ready at Dawn produced the incredible Daxter, a drop-dead gorgeous game with no load times and great gameplay. If only every PSP game were as well-made as this one. Great job, guys!


EyeToy ... WRU???!
