i dont really see why they launched this unless it will be a supremely high margin product it dose not really add anything new that could not have been done on current hardware, and frankly its an abomination of design compared to the current system.

I would be surprised if this takes off for more then a few months. and psp sales return to normal ...

however the games announced with it if they come out back to back to back about 4 to 6 weeks apart could level the field

The main difference is the 16GB FD and removal of UMD. This decreases batter drain, so it improves battery life and decreases cost, and it makes it 43% lighter

as i said nothing that could not have been done to the current psp.  and removal of the psp only benefits sony, making the hardware cheaper. where with a standard psp you would have the option of using a umd or using download games, unless they abandon the psp firmware upgrades which would be stupid. 

 

or more simply this is a money garb upgrade, the whole thing is designed to produce higher margins.    

 

16gb is nothing really pick that up for a few bucks if you know where to look or they could have just issued them with 16 gb stick dous in new units. ive forgoten whats in mine i think its 8 gig, though i got it while in shanghai and paid around 4 usd for it has worked fine for me so far.... and yes i have paid for all of my games upfront from real vendors... the mem stick dou is the shadiest thing i own for it
