PSP Rumors

So lately, I have seen many references to an anonymous tip abot Sony releasing a new version of the PSP. Apparently, they will be slimming it down, offering several colors, using built-in 4GB NAND memory, a camera, and probably more.

Let me speak directly to Sony for this one. Screw you. That’s right, you’re a bunch of assholes who managed to trick me into getting a PSP that I now regret. If there is any validity to this rumor, I will sell my PSP and any games I have for it. This utterly frustrates me beyond belief. I know the pain and anger of a Dreamcast owner.

Here’s some advice Sony, why don’t you try and worry about games first. The game selection available on the PSP is lackluster at best. Lackluster is actually a very nice way of saying “craptacular.” Sony, you are spending all of this effort to put every possible multimedia function in the PSP and neglect the one thing that most people consider it used for: games! Why the hell would I want a stupid camera?! Why would Sony think it’s a good idea to piss off and annoy the early adopters by doing this.

Go on Sony, release your new PSP handheld. I’m most certain I will buy a DS Lite, which means I may very well sell my PSP. I think I made a royal mistake. The PSP clearly violates the KISS principle.

    So does this mean that you would have been this upset if you would have invested in a DS when they were first released now that they are going to release a “lite” version?

    What kind of insentive is there buying at launch now? Larger price tag, and a new version almost sure to come out down the road…

    The difference between the DS and the PSP is that I could have bought both DS handhelds for about the same price as the single PSP.

    If the PSP were cheaper, or Sony offered a deal where you could trade in your old on and pay like maybe an extra 50 bucks tops, I’d be interested. Paying $300 twice for a handheld gaming system that has tons of crappy games and even more crappy movies is just a waste.

    I think you may be on to something. Nintendo never reinvented the GameCube, in fact, most of the consoles did not see a major redesign, with the exception of the PS2. That doesn’t count since all they did was include the network adapter and removed the PSU, not to mention waited about 4 years to do that as well.
