Hes right, unfortunately. To really use your psp for everything, you need a large memory stick too. And then on the games front, not a whole lot of effort has been put in to make anything super special.
He also missed out the potential of homebrew - sony put the capabilities there, and have done nothing but stop others using it. Imagine an xbla or wii ware type thing. Could have been great... instead we all get custom firmware and do whatever we want.
Having said all that though... its still nice to have a half decent music player that can also play games and videos if i get bored.

Yes, we all know Zune was infinity more successful as a media player, and that device surely had no crippling media formats.

Arguments about the psp (negative and positive) always seem to correct. It's a balanced system but it just needs that "something" to make it stick out more. I do really like mine though. Neet little gadget that can do a lot of things.

Microsoft don't like the PSP RAWR RAWR RAWR..lol.

Who cares what Microsoft thinks.

custom firmware makes the console waaay more fun- for one thing, I only use the umd to dump games so that I can play them off the stick- it is tons faster to play off of the stick than the umd- for another- I use it as a book reader- emulators work awesome on it- etc. etc.
I think that MS should put it's own handheld out if it wants to gripe... and I will prolly get it

lol PS2 ports for the PSP. You mean the PS2 has PSP ports, mayhaps? Regardless, I don't blame the big S for porting successful PSP games to the PS2

All in one devices are usually crap anyways. But who seriously bought a PSP as a music player or for any of it's other features other than playing games?

This means microsoft will try to make a DS only with a tiny hard drive and halo on it? Hey MS, you know whats great about the handhelds in general? So far THEY FUCKING WORK! I don't even want to imagine how problematic an MS handheld would be if they can't even create decent hardware for a full size console.

Wow, is all ok with the criticism, but Microsoft cant say nothing about other companies gaming products, they lost that advantage with the xbox360 rrod fiasco.

That damn PSP is getting in the way of the BEWBS!!!!!!!!

I bought a huge ass memory stick for music, only to find out the PSP has no equalizer or bass boost and the playback quality sucks accordingly. And I converted videos only to never be able to find what combination of filename and directory names the damn thing needed to recognize them.

Jack off all trades, master of none indeed.

this comes from the people that make a failed system.

Touche~

"you can only get the video under the Universal Media Disc format"

This man didn't do his homework, why would anything else he say hold water? The zune? *cough* yeah, the zune.

@ Rigor Mortis

Dude, download the latest PSP Video 9 from red kawa.
Choose the "new" video format option and the rest is a no brainer. Convert away!

Although you may have issues if the original content is not 100% intact. JSYK

wait. why is everyone bashing the zune here? It's not a game device. Plus, you can load non-DRM mp3s on a zune and guess what, pull it right back off as non-DRM mp3s.

I don't think Robbie was at all being brutal there, it's just hard not to notice the flaws in marketing and utilizing the PSP. I don't own one yet, but was tempted to pick up the GoW Limited Edition the other night... Got Age of Conan instead though and not regretting the decision.

I have a PSP and I agree with MS on this one too. Although, buy yourself a 4gb memory stick duo and you have plenty of storage for mp3s and videos, without even homebrewing it.

As for the Zune, I think its a great bit of kit, unfortunately MS are trying to foist another middleware app like iTunes between Windows Explorer and the device. If it detected as a removable drive and I could add files through windows explorer, I would buy one.

Wow. Just wow.

Bashing an MP3 player to get back at someone who's merely stating that something isn't perfect.

I want a PSP, despite the beef that I have with sony over their decision to use an entirely different proprietary format over one that was established and would've been a better decision overall. Yeah, I'm about to rant about the Minidisc format. Quick-as-hell seek and read times, coupled with phenomenal battery efficiency (I could get a single AA battery to play 25 hours from a hi-MD on random), and the potential for moar capacity (I think I heard somewhere to up to 4 gigs on a hi-MD disc could be achieved?) would have taken care of a good Bajillion percent of the Gripes many people have about the PSP today. Music? Bam. right on a rewritable disc. Movies? Bam. Disc. Pirating games? Not so much seeing as how you could've easily made write-protected MDs that couldn't be written over. Yes Sonicstage was a bitch to work with, but it was still better than itunes. If the PSP would've used the established MD format, not only would you have the Audiophiles that stood by their beloved ATRAC format flocking to get one so they could dust off their Minidisc collection, but it would've been cheaper to produce, and therefore even cheaper to buy. God damn, I'm a lonely, lonely man being up at this late ranting about this...

I came in here to make a nice, reasonable, balanced comment on this story, but a few fanboy-fag responses have knocked the wind out of those sails. Fuck Microsoft and fuck your goddamn PSP.
