PSP As Home Remote Control

    "Because we all need a $250 remote. "

    Look, I think the PSP is overhyped. I think some of the uses for it (like playing movies) sound cooler than in practice they really are.

    Despite my feelings on the PSP, however, I think you are missing the point. The point was to do something kind of fun and learn a few things in the process, not to make the remote obsolete.

    I think it's pretty sad that Slashdot has attracted such a main-stream audience that collectively it has lost the ability to appreciate the true nerd-dom here.
