I had Xmas lunch at friends, and they bought their elder son LittleBigPlanet PSP, well, despite not as good as the PS3 version I saw around, it's quite good, and mother, father and son were all addicted to it, but trying to help them in a point where they were stuck (eventually I found the solution in a Youtube video, as I don't have either a Playstation or LBP) I didn't change my mind, even on newer version of PSP I still hate its controls and LBP betters the situation only a little using very few of them. The screen, OTOH, is big and quite good, if I found a PSP at the same price of a cheap multimedia player I could buy it as a player that can occasionally do games. But paying it full price, and for gaming, forget it.

IMVHO Sony made PSP a decent Jack of all trades, but master of nothing. Still more successful than Zune, but hey, most multimedia players are

I fear the worst for the PS3 hopefully it doesn't go down to low.

Seems like a strange thing to celebrate. Especially the poor implications behind the PS3's performance for FF13 to have this much of an impact.

DRM does not help. You say it as if only PSP has piracy problem.

The problem is the PSP as a whole. To the gamers, it lacks the second stick for a lot of the games.

For others, and Sony, seeing PSP as a media player as primary and gaming secondary.

Overall, PSP lack uniqueness. It is very much a PS2 portable minus a thumb stick.

It's ok for me if it's a portable PS2 which plays MP3, that's exactly what I wanted when I bought a Go.

How does it lack uniqueness ? Is there another portable PS2 we don't know ?

PSP's more like a portable Dreamcast imo. At least in specs/interface.
