I want it, but I also want to own my games so it's a no go for me.

http://gear.ign.com/articles/102/1028741p1.html IGN gave it rather poor reviews saying the gamepad is pretty cramp inducing among other issues. Seems kinda small for my sausage fingers. I have about 20 UMDs, so there is no reason for me to pick one up anyways. I really think Sony is going to eat it on this one. Its not like the PSP has the momentum of the DS and to release a $250.00 portable gaming system that has less features than the tried and true versions of the original PSP is spellig failure to me. I like Sony, but I think this DL only crap sucks and I hope it fails.

Yeah. I feel its much better built than any other PSP that's been put out. Feels rock solid.Mod_Man_Extreme wrote:Cool, he's damn lucky they didn't catch him breaking street date or let him bring it home!

Build quality aside it's gotta be a cramping and badly designed unit from an ergonomics standpoint and the look of it.RyaNtheSlayA wrote:Yeah.

It's not as bad as you would think. It has little grip bads on the back and it's pretty damn light so it just sits right in your hands. I have pretty big hands and it didn't bother me, the only thing i noticed that had me skeptical was the analog nub is now a little smaller, you get used to it quickly though, just feels different.Mod_Man_Extreme wrote:Build quality aside it's gotta be a cramping and badly designed unit from an ergonomics standpoint and the look of it.RyaNtheSlayA wrote:Yeah.

I'll definitely check it out when it launches, but I can definitely say I won't be getting one.RyaNtheSlayA wrote:It's not as bad as you would think.

Yeah I don't know what makes this thing worth the $250, $50 less than their PS3 console that includes a Blu-Ray Player. I just don't know what Sony is thinking.

But it'll probably end up in the same failed realm of theirs as UMD and Mini Disc.
