Why is the new psp so ugly?

The "second analogue!" cries are nonsensical.
This isn't the PSP 2, it's just a redesign (ala DSLite or DSi). Introducing a second analogue stick would be pretty lame for current PSP owners (All 50M of them), and more importantly, developers whom already made concessions in their games.

As for the actual design, it's alright. I was rather put off at first, but I've grown to like it.
It's actually portable now, so that's nice.

It doesn't really effect me buying it one way or another...I am buying this thing the first day it comes out. But I'm saying the PSP could easily get an analog stick put where the start/select buttons are and I think it would look better. I could care less about the second analog for now.

I also don't see how it would effect the older psp games...you just simply wouldn't use the right analog stick.

No it wouldn't affect the games.. but the gamers. 50 million people unable to get new games because they use 2 analogues. Ofcourse you could argue that developers could make 2 control schemes that'd naturally pick up what version of the psp you're using and adapt to that, but regardless.. a lot of people wouldn't be happy.
