I wonder why did they not include the detachable battery like the original PSP. One could carry 1-2 batteries with him in the long journey and replace at any time of his choice without sacrificing the look of the machine.

My guess is piracy.  The PSP was hacked time and time again and it somehow had something to do with unmounting the battery.  The expensive ass memory cards may also be the result of Sony trying to combat piracy.

The memory cards and piracy thing is absurd. It's like Sony would be saying "If you're going to pirate our system, at least spend lots of money in the memory cards"

They are nothing more than normal cards with different form factor, I'm almost sure that they are slightly modified memory stick micro.
