I know Sandisk has an 8gb card, and I'm pretty sure Sony's 16gb one works with the PSP, but it costs more than the PSP itself

Yeah, it is.

I'm only keeping mine for Agito XIII and the 3rd birthday, and the Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G american port.

as long as it is making money it wont have an end.

psp software IS dying and we can't deny it. DS have more new releases in every quarter than psp yearly. there will be less than 40 games released for the WHOLE 2008.
ds weekly have 7-10 new games.
psp? 4-5 games monthly and 2/3 of them stays in japan.
i think that we will see even less games next year and that psp will be dead by the end of 2011.

EDIT: these are american releases.

Just so people know how bad the software lineup looks (just looking at quantity)

there are ~28 PSP games releasing between now and Jan 1, 09.

The DS is releasing ~41 games in November alone, and ~135 between now and Jan 1, 09.

The PS2 has ~66 games being released between now and Jan 1, 09.

I'm not saying it has bad games coming, just the sheer quantity difference is amazing, and for quite some time has made me think the system is dieing really fast, despite the decent hardware sales.

Strange to read this when Level 5 just announced two new Level 5 games.

your most certainly not

S-E announced 2 new PSP exclusives in August.....now Level 5 follow that

I actually feel PSP's japanese support is strengthening!

The poblem is that the PSP is losing western support. It's basically dropped off the map outside of a few multiplatform releases. Those are primarily sports games too. Japanese support I would say is a bit sickly in direct comparison to the DS, but not dead in the least, considering they have the backing of Konami, Capcom, Square Enix, Atlus and Level-5 still. Part of the problem is that the PS2's support is drying up and that was always a main cause for healthy levels of PSP support, PS2 ports.

So the real question is, why has westen support dried up completely? None of the future big releases on PSP come from westen developers outside of a built for the PSP version of Midnight Club LA Remix, which happens to be multiplatform.

Well I love my PSP:

But my tastes are very similiar to the Japanese market. Hell, three of my games are imports. The telling point is that the majority of the games I would play on a console but have ported over to handheld only. Sony turned the PSP into a portable-console and it competes in the same market as the PS2. Guess what, PS2 sales are still going strong! When Sony has moved PS2 exclusives over to the PSP and made it a PSP exclusive those titles have done pretty well. When Sony finally kills the PS2 that is when PSP, or perhaps by that time PSP2, will have better support and software sales.

You forgot Resistance Retribution.  To be fair Western support for handhelds are never that great and most of the time it is garbage...

Hmm and I can't really name that much new western DS games  except for Bioware's sonic RPG.
