Top Ten Things About the Sony PSP

Posted by Zonk on from the teeny-tiny-little-ps2 dept.

Hector Martinez writes "A very nice read on some of the features of Sony's portable device." From the article: "Simply put, the character models don't need to be as detailed, because you won't notice the difference anyway. That said, we need to keep in mind that these are first-generation PSP titles. Just look at how the PS2 games have evolved since its launch. If handheld games are looking this good at launch, imagine what a couple years of development time will do. You can expect the same leaps, similar to those found with home based consoles, as developers become more familiar with it. "

    Seriously though, the guy gets his own article posted on Slashdot and it is a "nice read". More like PSP love fest. The article failed to mention all the complaints that have been reported about discs popping out, bad pixels, etc. Why didn't he just title the article "The Top Ten Ways to suck Sony Off."

    10 Great Things About the N-Gage (not the N-Gage QD)

    1. Plays MP3s.
    2. Runs the popular Series 60 OS, for which many non-N-Gage-specific apps are already available.
    3. Synchronizes built-in PIM software with Mac OS X (iSync) and Windows (Intellisync).
    4. Built-in FM radio.
    5. Supports on-line play with built-in GPRS radio.
    6. Available used for about the same price as a Game Boy Advance SP.
    7. Memory expansion with widely-available albeit slow MultiMedia Cards.
    8. Includes software that lets me surf the web and check e-mail using the built-in modem.
    9. Supports Bluetooth, letting me use a cordless headset instead of Sidetalkin'.
    10. Has a built in Media Player, which supports not only MP3s (#1) but also video clips and streaming media.

    There, that wasn't too hard. Maybe I should put it on a web page myself and submit it as an article!
