Is gaming in Japan really that much more expensive than in America? If the system launches for 299 in America would you buy it? If it launches for 249 and the PSP2 does the same which will you buy?

This depends on the PSP2's features. If it was fully backwards compatable, touch screen enabled , At least as powerful as the 360. Cheaper software then the origional, NetFlix enabled. Then I would buy it at launch for 300$. But fact is Sony is just known for subpar quality when it comes to their products, it would take alot of features like those listed above to get me to purchase a PSP2.

The quality of Sonys products are not bad imo. Just the price, seriously everything from Sony costs more than it should. Both electronics and consoles, the current PS3 price is the exception and its probably because they are still last.

My friends who bought PSP's at launch all had dead pixels and one had to return his twice. Then Adam Sessler imported one from Japan and the buttons were partially in the screen. I heard about constant problems for about half a year. I ended up buying mine in 2008 after all the glitches were worked out.
It seems that with Sony products you need to wait a year or two for all the bugs to be worked out.

PSP was their first handheld though and yes i agree the first model wasn't anything special (PSP slim was better). But base everything on 1 console is just wrong, they have made thousands of electronics and most of them are pretty good imo, overpriced but good.
