"Sony Shows Wireless Multiplayer, Talkman, New Games For PSP"

Okay, so in less than 24 hours, we've gone from saying that the PSP has virtually no support, and certainly no new games, to saying that it has tons of features, and pleanty of new games. Which I suppose is alright, since the latter is the truer statement.

The only problem I can see..

Is battery life. It takes a bit of juice to get that disc spinning and to read it.

Plus, if you drop it while it's reading, shit will break off.

I'm going to have to say I like Nintendo for handheld gaming still, with games like Mario 64x4 and the ability to bust out some wireless kart racing..

Of course, this is just the opinion of a Nintendo owner since I can remember.
