Check it out... one of the smallest, yet still has the largest screen.

Say what you will about the [] button, this thing is still an engineering marvel!

Wish my Nomad was in there to compare with.

Wouldn't go so far as to call it an engineering marvel. True impressive screen but engineering marvel is a bit of a stretch when schematics like the square button exist.

It's like telling someone YOU ARE THE BEST! for doing someting half assed.

I had no doubt you would throw that in there Doot.

Fact is that the PSP is far beyond anything that has ever been release in the hand held market. The fact that they could get so much technology in such a small package is what I am basing my statement on.

And the defects were never that the [] button didn't work. It was that it sticks. So the problem was in the casing of the unit, which has been fixed.

Yes the button is off center, but it works. As long as the button works, I don't care if it's off center.

As I said, I think it should have been done differently, but I would never say the did it half assed...

more like 1/225 assed. Since that is the ratio of those that have actually been returned.

So again... say what you will about the [] button, the PSP is still an incredible piece of technology.

I don't get it...are you referring to the "square" button?

And what's the strange clear one under the GBA SP and DS? I don't think I've ever seen that before...

Yeah, a shame that they sacrificed design for a big screen. And Doot, Sony IS the best at doing things half-assed.

Also, Shino should know that size means nothing...in electronics. Wasn't the first computer like the size of a whole room? Nowadays the smaller it is, the more powerful it's SUPOSSED to be.

Shino has officially publicly declared himself a fanboy. LOL
