PSP Predictions 2005 VS. Reality 2008

[assclown1]

People will hate me for saying this but hacking/homebrew wise, yes the PSP is the best thing ever that came out, especially with what DAX and other developers have done for it. But if we were just counting what the system is supposed to "officially" do, then it's not that great. It's not a failure or anything, but it's not great.

I don't think anyone would hate you for saying that. Probably most people here agree that homebrew is the best thing about the PSP.

It's kinda ironic the two most unlikely predictions came true, and the likely ones didn't. Sony could have made the psp so much better, with so little effort.

They could have released the camera worldwide, for one...

Just an official keyboard would have been enough to add so much potential, they messed up big time on some little things. With that they could have implemented so many little programs to expand on the firmware capabilities.
It is also sad that the only real PSP (Not PS1 Conversions) EBOOTs they release are game demos. MSN/AOL/Yahoo/chat/IRC clients, Universal Remote (official), heck even a text editor. All this without even occupying flash0 space, I certainly wouldn't have a PSP if it wasn't hackable.
