Was November the biggest month in PSP news? Probably. Look at these articles, which barely scratch the surface of all the news we provided during the month of the PS3 launch.

Does Sony hate OPM? The answer is yes
Then: "There's no reason to have a print magazine... especially when the main reason people get the magazine is for the demo discs. The final issue of OPM will be the January 2007 issue."
Now: Looks like 1UP & the gang is for sale.

New survey reveals exciting TV possibilities
Then: "They give users two options: streaming using LocationFree player, or by subscribing to a mobile TV service for $10 a month."
Now: TV and games make a great mix, as Microsoft insists.

Full resolution videos possible on 2.80 firmware!
Then: "You can play full resolution videos on the PSP, as long as they're encoded with the highly size-inefficient Motion JPEG codec."
Now: For those of you that want a visual treat, this and P-TV are the only viable solutions right now.

Watch out for the PSP Blender scam
Then: "PSP Blender received numerous complaints, and the site is now listed as a "Phishing or other scams" website."
Now: This is still one of our most-viewed articles. Why? These sites are raking in the cash with every misinformed PSP owner they find.

Other noteworthy stories:
Chotto Shot pictures, videos & impressions
Ultimate list of TIFF homebrew games
PSP for porn, pedophiles and Nazis ... according to FOX
