Well, do you?
What exactly is in the box? I know it may or may not be slightly different for the UK release, but I'm interested to know.
I'm on the verge of pre-ordering one from Amazon... the only thing holding me back at the moment is the possibility of better packages from elsewhere.
I just wish Sony would hurry up and make an official announcement so that everyone could get their deals together!

PSP is trying to sell to the casual adult gamer. Just like the PS2. It is trying to appeal as a "cool" machine.
I laugh at that because casual adult gamers wouldn't be seen dead with a handheld machine.
And the PSP is a bit too, well, technological for kids to be fair.
When Nintendo release the GBE in the next year or two then the PSP will flail.
Nintendo haven't had competiton? SEGA perhaps?
Why did that superior console fail wookiee?
Was it because of short battery life. I'm sure Sony won't make that mis... oh.

Probably because millions of Japanese, while preferring PlayStation and PlayStation2 to any comparable Nintendo console, have only ever had Nintendo machines when it comes to handhelds.
Therefore they have lots of Gameboy games, and as the DS is backwards compatible, it's an obvious choice.
Unlike with Sega in the home console market, Nintendo has never had a serious competitor in the handheld arena. When the PSP is (officially) globally available, I'm sure things will improve. It may not surpass the DS, but it will be the choice of many. I certainly know which one I'll be buying. I'm sure others will also wise up in time! ;-)

So why was it that the PSP didn't sell out. Why was it, when systems were avalible for the new year Nintendo sold 108,000 and Sony sold 60,000....
Sony don't even think the PSP will sell that much.
Nintendo already have a 3 million head start over the system, which means that Sony will have to go all out to catch up. After all, the more systems Nintendo sell the larger the word of mouth and popularity just spirals. I mean Nintendo still have a full month of DS sales in the US to make the job extra hard for the PSP.

As was pointed out to you in the Nintendo forum, this is more down to the limited number Sony made than anything else.

Yes it's called a review, Darwock.

Come on! They say the headphones are bad quality and so do a lot of reviews. Having a 32MB card is useless! It basically means that you can't use either the Movie function or the MP3 function, both of which you have PAID for! The whole point is that the stuff in the value pack is useless! You'd be better off buying the things that you actually want separately.
Don't even get me started on the fact that you need a memory card for a handheld console.

It certainly is now. That leak has probably inspired a whole generation of homebrew developers, who can now see how to run executable software on the PSP. Emulators, here we come!
