When are noobs going to stop throwing LEDs into shit?

Brag incessantly about your nigh unusable device.

I don't understand the bitching the moaning. First of all, doesn't look all that different from the current PSP models except it smaller and button placement is a bit different. A good number of PSP games doesn't even come close to filling up a UMD. If 16GBs plus memstick support isn't enough for you then you have personal problems. A 16GB memstick with on-board memory gives you more storage than a standard Xbox 360. Plus it has bluetooth support and it can be tethered to your cell phone? I'd buy one. The only other things I would need would be PSP trophy support that actually shows up on my PSN account on my PS3, and a better browser for the PSP and the PS3. They're just not stable.
As far as dual analogs nubs go...whatever. dual analog for Fps games on consoles suck total ass...why would I want the frustration with analog nubs and only two shoulder buttons as opposed to four on a DS3 controller? Becoming another unskilled bastard, a slave to auto aim, living in delusion like I actually accomplished that kill streak when in reality it was the damn aim-bot overlord? No thanks.
If Sony really wanted to go balls to the wall with FPS support on the go, then the PSP-G would have a touch screen. FPS games on DS have superior accuracy that simply couldn't be matched with a dual analog setup because of the touch screen support. The cramps that come with it...well...we'll save that for a different convo.
Ugh. Unless they have some way of shipping games on SD cards, pass. I don't have the patience or the interest to spend all this bandwidth downloading games I could just pick up in a store.
Nor do I have any interest in buying a game I can't trade/resell/actually -own-, either. I do like digital distribution, to a point, particularly for smaller games on the level of XBLA, Virtual Console, and some smaller PSN titles, but as a console's main support? No. Never. Never ever -ever-.
It kills the secondhand market, it kills the sense of ownership one has from actually -possessing- a game, and it kills any joy the collector takes in managing shelves of their prized finds. Absolutely epic failure.
@Kia: @Brian Sexton: I disagree. There is no way in hell I'd go back to the PSP 1000 or the DSPhat. I wouldn't even buy the original PS2 after seeing the PS2-slim.
Also judging from how many companies have released smaller and smaller gear over the last 10 years...I'd say that smaller form factor IS a selling point.
More than FPSs use analog sticks and it would only serve to open up the amount of gameplay on the PSP.
And why wouldn't they just replace the start/select buttons with a second analog stick and just move those poorly placed buttons above, where your thumb won't accidentally press them.
Why the hell do people keep whining about the thumbstick issue? We're *not* going to have a second thumbstick until the PSP2. Do you really expect developers to release games that can be played properly on only one of the many PSP models?
If they're going to update the control scheme, they might as well update the specs as well
@OMG! Peonies!: @darkstar: So do you guys live in PornoLand, USA? All my UPS guy has done for me is not deliver my package, or leave it in a spot that begs others to steal it. I guess my UPS guy fucks me as well.
@OMG! TenderRonis!: Do I live in Pornoland, USA? No. And I find your attitude unnecessarily grating.
There's no need for you to get all riled up just because some of us have made the effort to learn proper postal procedures. Indeed, if you'd quit whining, you too could learn what we have about effective handling of UPS employees. Go buy yourself a DVD copy (or, I'm guessing more your slacker style, bittorrent) of the classic instructional video, "Deliveries in the Rear". On it you'll find role playing exercises to teach you effective ways of communicating (including demonstrations of helpful hand gestures) with your delivery guy. Examples include:
"Hello. I see you have a package for me. Well, I have a "package" for you."--or--"Thank you. Let me give you a "big tip". Fun ensues.
Anyway, it's all there, you just gotta get off your lazy ass and educate yourself to proper business etiquette.
$400 was the stripped model and $600 was full featured no maps... I think $700 was full featured + topo and then your first born for the water maps included
@Aaron Monroy: wowza. I think I'll just get a waterproof case for my iPhone instead.
I'm not trying to be flippant - I think Garmin has some serious competition now that full mapping is available in a lot more phones. It's hard to justify a $400+ device when my phone has GPS anyway. Of course, most phones rely on data networks which means if you're in the backwoods you might not get any data at all. But smart phones are increasingly able to get maps loaded on them that can be accessed offline (I think the first such iPhone app just came out recently) which means there's a lot less need for Garmin's overpriced gear and maps.
Recently got the Dingoo. Brought fond memories of my first GamePark. I highly suggest getting this bad boy instead. It's only around $80. It can play NES, SNES, Genesis, GB, GBC, GBA, Neo Geo, Neo Geo Pocket (B&W and color), and Capcom CPS1 & CPS2 arcade games, video (AVI, RealVideo, MP4, WMV, and others), MP3 & various audio files, FM radio, text viewer, picture viewer, and it also has its own games that compare to PS1 3-D games. Pretty damn good value if you ask me! Also, there's an English support site: [www.dingoo-digital.com]

I agree, they should update both the control scheme and specs.

I used to play an FPS on my TI-89 Titanium. Don't knock it.
