The Playstation Portable, Sony's handheld gaming console. It's doomed to failure due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

Lack of compelling games
Trailing the Nintendo DS by a large margin in North American and Eurpoean launch dates
High price
MemoryStick capability, and the fact that such media is horribly expensive compared to SD or CF memory

Other problems I've heard about were extremely short battery life and the weight.

It's $50 more than the DS.

Launch titles include a new GTA game, a new Metal Gear Solid game, Dynasty Warriors, Need For Speed, Tony Hawk, Final Fantasy.

Lots.

I really haven't seen anything come out that's worth buying a DS for yet.

Nintendo DS: 275g
Sony PSP: 260g

Oh my goodness... are you serious about the MGS? Where can I buy this?

The battery life on the PSP according to most places is between 3 - 5 hours for gaming.

Sorry to be the one to inform you, but the MGS for the PSP is a turn based card game. As in you use playing cards to move and attack... its not what you think.

So I see. I saw Martin's link. I was going to say disappointed as soon as I saw "turn based", but now I think disgusted would be more appropriate. Really, Dan, we need some sort of puke emoticon. I hope, for my sake, that Kojima wasn't directly involved in this farce.

Back to the PSP discussion:
Well, I've just lost all interest in buying one. But I wasn't that impressed by the DS either. Hopefully this will mean a drop in price for the GBA:SP and games.

Yea i was thinking about gettin a GBS:SP just because it is cheaper and has a wideeee array of awesome games for a good price. Compared to the DS which has a wideee array of... oh yea.. it has no good games.

yeah, but the DS is capable of playing old GBA games, so your collection of good GBA titles are not going to waste, you can still play them off the DS.

Also, what do you mean no good titles? Metroid Prime: Hunters, Castlevania, Advance Wars DS, blah blah are all coming out.

They're coming out. No idea how good they'll be.

The DS launch titles absolutely sucked.
