Yeah I'm not happy with this at all. The load times fixed turned out to be a load of BS, there is still only a single analog, it's lighter but hardly smaller, the cord isn't even packed in, the video output looks worse than a DVD, and the battery life isn't even longer unless I want a giant lump sticking out the back of it like a hideous tumor. There isn't a chance in hell of me upgrading my current PSP for this.

Taht game doesnt use the 64mb ram though. Didint the developers say something about developer's wanting to make load times cut in half? Because if it did, load times would be halfed. From 32mb to 64mb doubles speed. I was expecting the interent to be double the speed, but they didint which is dissapointing.

No, developers never said that.  Sony said that developers would have the "ability to reduce load times if they so chose with future titles."  It doesn't fix past titles, and it won't even be applied to all future titles.  I rarely even use my PSP for anything but emulating old anyway, so the load times don't affect me.  I only own 4 games on my PSP, and although I'm going to buy a few more this year, it's not at all worth the extra cost.
