Damn it.  512 MB was already gimped as hell.  I thought that the minimum woudl have been 1 GB.  Would have bought it a launch, now it seems likely that I won't buy it at all.

Seriously? Please tell me you are joking. Please!

Why would you think that?   Why would I buy outdated tech?  Its just annoying.  I bought a launch PSP.  I like the NGP but given other options, and especially given probable cell phone like evolution in the tablet space, why settle for such limitations?

First of all Sony has never reveiled the amount of ram the NGP came with, there were rumors it would come with 512mb, but as a rumor. The only answer Sony has ever given was it was more than the PSP and in line with the PS3. The PS3 has 256mb, which means if true, the NGP would have the same amount as its big brother. The NGP is keepig its Vram of 128mb is which is unheard of in portable graphics. Now, relax, I think the NGP always had the 256mb anyway, do you honestly believe Sony is going to make such a change when this thing already has games being produced for it and coming in later this year. 

This.  Sony wouldn't make any critical change this late in the game, some of the software might be damn near completion.  Can't be that big of a deal.
