    A lot of the fun of being a geek is nostalgia. Remembering past technology and talking about how great it was at the time is awesome.

  2. Battery Life? by TheLoneDanger · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wonder if this time they will actually give battery life estimates for actual gaming conditions (eg not in power saving mode). Every time they've been pressed, they have refused to clarify it. Of course, based on this comment ("It's pretty close to the retail version."), the system's design might not even be finalized yet, and they might still be re-designing it to try get a decent number of gaming hours off one charge.

    Back to the games listed... it just seems to be mostly what many people thought would happen: ports, re-designs or sequels to games already on PS/PS2. It still looks like a neat piece of hardware. But I have concerns over its battery life and durability.

    Well, the "RPG" image is of two characters from a game that's 12-13 years old (Final Fantasy IV), and you don't see that getting changed, do you?

    Admittedly, this could only be because changing to an image from a more current Final Fantasy would result in massive flamewars.

    Weak? Dynasty Warriors, and Minna no Golf (and to some degree Puyo) are HUGE in Japan. If the PSP remains semi relevant in Japan, it can hang on long enough for some major title to win hearts and minds in the U.S. (like Final Fantasy 7 did for the original PS1).

    I'm a Nintendo fanboy through and through, but defintely, while I'm not going nuts over the PSP launch line up, it defintely has some strong Japanese titles that can keep it afloat for a bit.

    More importantly, why is there a slashdot story about how games will be announced later on this week. Nothing has been announced, there's no new news yet... I don't see how this warrants a post.
