Year in Review: June

Rockstar bringing another game to PSP this year
Then: "Take-Two Interactive revealed that they have an as-yet unannounced title heading to the PSP based on a major brand. What could this game possibly be? Are they planning on bringing Table Tennis to the PSP?"
Now: The aforementioned mystery game turned into The Warriors, which slipped into next year.

Beware: PSP being used by kids to access porn
Then: "Apparently kids are getting together at schools and using their PSPs to access pornography "out of thin air.""
Now: FOX isn't done with their hard-hitting investigations.

Sony Access machine in action
Then: "One brave consumer decided to go ahead and purchase something from the Sony Access vending machine we reported on recently. In purchasing a pair of 50 dollar headphones, namely these headphones, this fine gentleman has given us a great glimpse into the workings of the robotic vendor without risking our own funds."
Now: This is still a bad idea.

ASA rules UK PSP ads inoffensive
Then: "Remember that UK ad campaign that caused all that controversy? Well, it turns out the ASA deemed the ads inoffensive."
Now: Sony still hasn't mastered the art of advertising without getting consumers angry, confused, or reaching for lawyers.

PSP third in sales, yet first in quality

Then: "Anderson also gauged the overall quality of games on each platform, using Game Rankings to compile average scores for each system's games. In this manner, the PSP blew away all other handhelds."
Now: Why is there still doubt that the PSP has good games? This is absolutely ridiculous. The PSP still has a fantastic 2007 lineup to look towards.
