@MaxSMoke, it not hard to be in 2nd place when theres only two horses in the race.

All the other handhelds that have gone against Nintendo have failed miserably (N-Gage, Game.com, Game Gear, Nomad, Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket Color, etc.) Compared to them, PSP is doing great. Placing in 2nd is far better than never getting to the race.

PSP... Its not bad being 2nd. Don't Cry

true, but all those consoles were in second place at some point, sure they were a distant second (if only game gears didn't eat up batterys so much) but second nonetheless.

Don't get me wrong I love PSP's, there's nothing wrong with the product, I think because of games like GTA parents won't buy them for their kids which is where most of the DS's sales come from.

I only recently heard about the nomad, if they released that a few years earlier it would have been king!

The Nomad was cool, but it was a monstrous brick that only lasted a few hours on it's HUGE battery pack. I actually have one around here, somewhere. But it was never a real hand-held. It was more like those huge laptops people like buying, semi-portable. I loved playing my Genesis games on it, but I could never see taking it with me anywhere. Too BIG!

The PSP's only stumbling block is it's high price. Too high for most people I know. I only got one because I buy alot of game related stuff. Homebrew would easily justify it's price, if Sony would just back off these firmware releases. I've personally written a letter to Sony about allowing Homebrew, but they wrote me back telling me Homebrew is "Dangerous". Whatever.

Sony has some of the best Engineers on the planet making stuff, but I swear the guys-in-suits that run the place are a bunch of monkeys.

Still, anger at Sony's Management aside, the posts on this website are getting WAY out of control. I dislike Sony's policy towards Homebrew as much as anybody, but Wraggster is just PSP Bashing at this point. And the Nintendo Fanboys on this forum need to GET LOST!

This is a website for PSP Homebrew, not DS or Wii discussions. And all of these stupid posts bashing the PSP need to stop. This website used to be #1 in Google's search for "PSP Homebrew". Now it's #3. Soon it won't even be in the top 20. Either this website has to concentrate on PSP Homebrew again, or it just needs to shutdown.

Who would trade a Homebrew capable PSP for a NDS???, it sounds crazy to me...

[mcvader]

Actually this website was for Dreamcast homebrew and now it covers every recent console that there is homebrew for including the DS and Wii, I doubt the members here care where the site is on the google list but you're right that there is too much sony bashing going on, if sony went bust everyone would be crying for them to come back just like with sega.

I would have liked to have seen that letter from sony trying to scare you off homebrew lol.

[MaxSMoke]

My letter is around here somewhere, I should have had it framed! I was trying to get other people here to write the same letter, but I don't think anybody cared enough to try.

The executives at Sony are mostly stuff old Japanese business men. They don't understand this Homebrew scene, all they see is piracy. They need to wake up. Maybe with the PS3, they might. The PS3 allows you to install Linux and tinker with the system. I still hold out hope that someday they will seen this Open-Source Homebrew as the positive thing it is, and not something that hurts their bottom line. It's keep my interest in the PSP, and I've spent thousands on PSP games. I own over 70 of them!

PSP is King. DS is the Court Jester. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Nintendo is all about innovating gameplay controls but they are not pushing the envelope at all towards next generation. Look at the Wii, it's a product of last gen combined with gimmicky controls, all wrapped in a new box and simultaneously released with an actual next gen system to justify its cause. Seriously, Nintendo is content on banking on gimmicks and i just pity the fools that fall from grace and pickup a Nintendo console. The next-gen of gaming is here, drop your styluses and wii motes and pick up a PSP, an XBOX360 controller or a Six-Axis.

[Cloud_35]

Awwwww, c'mon, what can you do of intrest in that DS thing??? Raise dogs?.............I admit that mostly the DS is more innovating than the PSP, but still, this little wonder machine has more to offer than the DS.

If you wanna change a PSPsp for a DS "lite" you should ASK them for PAYING you!!!

100 bucks for a psp, ripoff

150-170 bucks would be reasonable, not 100

and besides, psp(homebrewable) pwns DS
