Whoa, I guess some people are taking the PSP too "personally."
I don't really want to say this, but it seems to be a territorial thing. Back when i lived in Jersey, if you saw a kid bang up his PSP that bad the parents would bring sell something like that just to get rid of it and not buy them another until the kid themselves had the money to do so. Down here in North Carolina the cool hip thing is for most parents to get kids stuff that I wouldn't get my own until they turned like 14. I have never been more frightened as a gamer than when I saw a kid freshly open a PSP his parents had bought New not five minutes ago, drop both it and the game on the floor, leave it there for a few minutes to look at the shelf next to him and start looking for the PS3/PSP shelf and ask for this and that.
My mom would have murdered my ass if she had spent $200 on a game console not five minutes ago only to see it sprawled on the floor, not to mention a GLOSSY (JESUS H. CHRIST SONY STOP MAKING YOUR SHIT IN GLOSSY PIANO BLACK NO ONE WANTS THAT COLOR! LOOK HOW WELL THE MATTE PS3 SLIM DID IN COMPARISON TO THE GLOSSY ORIGINAL PS3 FOR REFERENCE!) black colored one.
But nowadays it seems as if to most kids getting a new console is a common occurrence, to me when I got my first GameBoy (WOO Color!) I revered the freaking thing and never got a single scratch on it, ever.
