Sony's new renovated PSP is not only going to be far lighter and thinner, but will also be able to be played on televisions, thus eliminating the need for ... well ... the PSP. Unless of course you're in Europe, as it's become clear that we in the land of fish n' chips will have to wait, as per usual, for the PSP's biggest new feature. Naturally, there's absolutely no reason for this, but Sony will not be providing the cables needed to take advantage of the new feature, and have not given a timeframe in which they will actually bother.
Furthermore, those new colors for the PSP are also going to be missing in action until somebody gives enough of a crap. You'll get black and like it, you limey ragamuffins. I honestly wouldn't mind quite so much if they gave an actual reason for this garbage, even if it was simply, "You know, we just can't be bothered."

Some third party will pick up on this news and get a cable out there I expect.
Although with the status of the Europe PlayStation Store, I wouldn't disagree that Sony seems to hate its customers in Europe. It's funny considering the Europeans are so loyal to them. I think this is just another example of Sony doing just about everything wrong from a business standpoint. Anyone in Europe right now must be noticing how much better you get treated when the Xbox is outselling the PS3 in your region. Stop buying the PS3 in Europe and they'll probably drastically alter the way they're treating you. Sad but true.

Youre right on the other counts tho, it would be nice of the jerks to give a reason. Although, i cant think of any others than the one you mention. Just another example of sony's incredible ability to make great products but then try to make people not want to buy them.
The only reason for not including cables that I can think of, is sony being a bunch of scumbags
Okay, so yeah, sony are screwing up majorly by not including the cable. That doesnt make the psp slim rubbish. It makes sony a bunch of overly rich idiots who think their company is invincible, as long as america is kept happy(im from nz btw, so im in the same boat as you for games).
http://www.getpaint.net/ go for it you'll love it!
Huh? How does no longer broadcasting analog TV over the air have anything to do with the PSP allowing you to hook cables up to a TV?
Jim, might I suggest an open-source program called "the GIMP"? If all you are doing is trying to put "PEW PEW PEW!" in the Destructoid font over an image of Chewbacca, it should more than do the trick.
S'what I use instead of Photoshop. And it's free.
I'm picking up one of these babies as soon as I can. Final Fantasy Tactics? With a coherent storyline??
My pants. They're too tight.
Still. Boo to Sony.
