For those of you who don't own a PSP. You are seriously missing out. It is extremely good value for money!. Very fair, enormous amount of very high quality games, and heck if that sucks for you, just browse the web, watch RSS streams, play old roms, Nintendo/Sega discover home brew, turn it into a camera, use it as a media player watch movies, read PDF's.......... IT HAS A PURPOSE FOR EVERYTHING Thanks Sony, you can address that cheque too......... LOL

I wouldn't go worrying too much :P. A refresh also indicates the unit has surpassed %50 of it's expected market cycle.

I still have the *** 1.5 , suits me just fine !. Not only has it got a metal surround, it's LCD was always brighter anyway.

Y A W W N Seen it all before, heard all the BS before.........PAID FOR IT BEFORE! OVER IT !

No, i won't deal with it. I don't believe that someone should have to go through 2 generations of hardware, to be able to play a game, that was developed and promised when the 1 of these generations where current. This whole concept of "extending" and of huge waiting periods has moved from "we need this time to develop" to "the longer we hold this off, the better for........... 1.Brand recongnition 2.Brand exposure 3.Brand loyality 4.Elevating creation of antipication & hype 5.Increasing likelyhood of final purchase and a zillion other sneaky tactics being employed too ensure that you DO buy this product, weather it be crap or not.........5 year's of hype has to make anyone curious ? correct ? that in and of itself is sales-priming of a calibre you cannot buy !.............. IT IS WRONG !.........

NOTE TO ALL DEVS DOING CONSOLE PORTS Upgrading textures should be considered the absolute minimum when converting a CONSOLE game to the PC. Once again, the absolute MINIMUM. Simpy dragging a title over to the PC untouched, is not going to attract sales, it's just not on at all !. My hat off to BIOWARE who done a fantastic job porting JADE EMPIRE to the PC. A gorgeous collectors box and all . Just surperb !. As for Ubisoft,Capcom and others get your act together or don't bother porting full stop. No one wants to pay for 4 year old games, delivered to their state of the art PC, completly the same as they were on consoles worth pennies !. It does not take a genius to figure this out honestly. Anyway good to see HALO 2 is looking fantastic, however it's pretty ridiculous making this some sort of "VISTA" only title. It's not only ancient , it's not even DIRECT X 10 !........ i mean come on. And like other people have mentioned here, WHY EXACTLY should this be unable to run on XP, considering it is infact DX9 ? Sounds to me it will only take one smart cookie to relise this is a ENFORCED! incompatibility with WINDOWS XP by Micosoft.................. I wonder what can be done about that !
