Finally PSP is getting his deserved place, BEST system ever made... I never understood why it was selling less then DS or any other system... If you have a PSP you know what i'm talking about... Man what psp is capable of is so amazing (nothing like it, not even ipod touch) i know is too soon, but i can't even wait till they start planing making PSP2, two things that would blow my mind if cames with next time is: Second analog and buid in memory (flash or HDD). Congrats to Sony for making such a great... I don't even know what to call it... "DoItAll" would be kinda of appropriate. [ + quote]

Sorry but i don't see how you would like to stay online on a handheld if not wireless... even regular system are using wireless now. Maybe you should invest $20 and get a router bro, its a well spend money [ + quote]

The PSP has gotten a huge lift from the release of Monster Hunter 2 in Japan. That game almost sold 900,000 copies in its first week and 600,000 its second week. [ + quote]
