It would definately make my wallet sweat.

I can't say I really like the thought of it. I'm all for small extra's like movie/mp3 players, but a whole extra hard disc seems a bit too much for just a handheld.

That would be very nice.

I saw a banner for PSP on another website and it was flashing thru a bunch of different things about the PSP.
The one i remember was "Even your mom has an iPod." So i think this is going to be pushed more as a versital 5 in 1 system.

As if the PSP wasn't expensive enough, or the battery life wasn't short enough already...

Basically Kutaragi says gamers will have to deal with the fact the PSP's Square button malfunctions. He then claimed "I believe we made the most beautiful thing in the world. Nobody would criticize a renowned architect's blueprint that the position of a gate is wrong. It's the same as that."

So basically he's saying to consumers to shut the fuck up even though the system they paid $250 for has a malfunction.

Wow.  I had heard about the square button problems, but Kutagari's comments are absurd.  I hope he isn't so cocky as to not fix this before the U.S. launch.  And the most beautiful thing in the world?  Obviously not.  Renowned architect?  Sorry, but I wouldn't put the designer of a video game console up there with Frank Lloyd Wright.  And, I think they would question an architects blueprint if the gate opened into a brick wall.  That's more like what's going on here.  Silly Sony.  When will they learn that they can't develop hardware on the same level with Nintendo?

Really think about it and i am going to say thhey surpass Nintendo with technology but still make stupid design flaws just like Nintendo.

If i remember what i read correctly the button flaw was on a very small % of the sold consoles. Don't quote me on a number but i am positive it was under 10% and think it was actually under 1%.
