seriously... the PSP has the potential to deaththrow everything, but why the stupid choices?


1)pull the prices on UMD movies down. Begin to release free UMD movies in magazines and so on...

2)lower the price on retail games

3)the PSP pack is not good enough... for a system that has the potential to be awesome for movie viewing its just not good enough... they need to have a 5-10 gig sd-card or something in it. so people can actually use it as a media player and entertainment hub. its absolutely stupid they did not thought this out better.

4)be more agressive on the marked...


when iphone comes out, then what will psp be worth besides gaming? currently its big screen still gives it the edge as far as viewing movies and video content but for how long?

1) Won't happen. They're phasing out UMD movies altogether. 2) It's more expensive to produce UMDs than game carts for the DS, thus the higher price. 3) Core pack doesn't mean "Give us everything that's optimal." It would be another $200 to include a 10 gig card, at least. And people complain that $250 is too much! 4) This I totally agree with. No more of those stupid dustball commercials, sony!

UMD games don't need a price drop, most are already reasonably-priced for what youre getting

1gig is great for the price there selling at. what sony makes, is very expensive, u have to realize this, and if u heard, like the 360, microsoft lost money from the first ones sold, but evntually as the price for the materials went down, they would gain profit.

this didnt really happen for sony. they were selling great, and still are, but i just have the feeling its not doing great.

and why give people bigger sd cards, it would be nice, but theryre very expensive, and

3/4 of people who have a psp dont know how to hook their psp to a computer.

It's not the physical production costs that are higher; it's the development costs for the software.
