Does anyone even OWN a PS3? Why is Sony beating a dead horse with another PSP?!
Just wondering what the future of this gaming giant will be when people can't afford to buy their poop.

I own a PS3. And in defense of a company I dont even like that much (aka Sony), no one is more quilty of beating systems to death than Nintendo. The new PSP is just what they did with the DS Lite, so why is anyone complaining?
I stopped buying first edition Nintendo hand-helds because within 5 months of making the damn thing they make a better/smaller/brighter/longer lasting battery version of the same damn thing. Dont dog Sony because they pray on the people who have to buy anything with the Sony name on it. Its just business.
Besides, the PSP is really nice. I wont be buying a new one, mind you, since I coughed up quite a bit for my white one.

See, there's a difference between the DS lite and the PSP lite.
The DS was needed. The DS was selling really well, but it was ugly to look at, and hurt some people's wrists to play. On top of that, the screens were to dim and didn't run at the same brightens levels. Thus, the DS lite was a MAJOR improvement. With the score of "must have" DS games coming out, the Redesign was needed to ensure maximum playability for future titles.
The PSP lite is a cash in. The PSP is already sexy. Sure there are some minor glitches with the original design, but it's still pretty serviceable. If anything, the PSP's biggest design flaw is that it has few good game, most of which are more expensive then DS games, and the load time is a pain in the ass.
None of those problems will be addressed with a NEW PSP. they should have concentrated on new games first, and foremost.

My beef with the PSP is also the lack of addicting games... as well as how HUGe that thing is. The DS doesn't take that much room in my large bag of holding and has a good battery life. The PSP is far too large to be a good portable music player and far too small to satisfy my need to watch movies LARGE. (I seriously dislike the portable TVs everywhere.)

I just can't bring myself to buy UMDs. For the Same price, I can have a DVD that plays in my computer/DVD player/and PS2.

Well you have to look at Nintendo and Sony's target groups. Of course people were hurting their wrists with the DS... look who's BUYING them (no offense to us older peeps). A bunch of kids with tiny hands. Having personally sold at least 300+ DS systems just this last christmas season alone, I can tell you thats definitely their main audience.
I put hours onto my DS with Trauma center and Sonic Rush, among other things, and I never had a problem with hurting my wrists. Also, even if I did I wouldnt be dumb enough to go buy another damn DS for $150 more of my money. It's called product research, and obviously Nintendo has a very poor track record concerning that.
Now you can say all you want that the new PSP is a cash-in, but who cares? If making it sleeker and or more cost effective to build, that's Sony's decision. We all know they love to make money. And considering theyre selling their systems at a huge loss, unlike Nintendo, you cant really blame them. I mean, who wants to pay the hundreds more the PS3 is actually worth???
Then again, Nintendo doesnt pour millions of dollars into crap people dont want, like Blu Ray players. If I wanted a glorified DVD player I'd go buy one. Although Nintendo's decision not to be able to use DVD discs was a bad decision, and might bite them in the ass. Who knows?

Sony is really stepping up to the plate by my opinion, only 4 systems and look at the advances they've made.
Nintendo is the godfather of gaming, but that doesnt mean they are the GOD of gaming.
Microsoft has really been greedy with their online play, and the 360 was also rushed. C'mon, as if Microsoft doesnt have enough cash already.

The only advances Sony has made is pretty graphics and stealing Nintendo's motion sensoring.
Fact.
I'll take a cut in "oooh pretty" anyday for some substance.

And that Microsoft stole Sony's controller scheme, IBulkier looked at both of the controllers. The Differences Are:
1. 360's controller is bulkier
2. The D-Pad is switched on the 360 controller
Way to go for Microsoft's originality!

Whereas everything Sony's ever done for their controllers were copied from Nintendo. In fact, the only thing they've ever added on their own were the L2 and R2 buttons. Aside from that, the first PSX controller looked shockingly similar to the SNES in layout. When the N64 introduced a joypad/joystick hybrid design along with rumble, Sony just so happened to come up with dualshock shortly thereafter. Then, fora good 7-8 years, all the way to the flipping PS3 the controller remained practically unchanged until Nintendo announced their new system would be motion censored and by some stroke of luck, Sony announced they were adding sixaxis...wouldn'tcha know it!
And while I'm at it, the Xbox controller looks more Dreamcast inspired, the overall shape, the design of the joypad and joystick as well as the triggers, and all of that jazz...just this one's got a lot more buttons.
