Not true; although the PSP2000/3000 used a smaller battery you got the same amount of game time as the 1000 through some effeciencies gains with the newer hardware components.
not according to my tests, yes close but no not the same, in the red
pocket halved the battery requirement, had longer play times and a better screen (and I think bigger)
color gave well color and slightly better battery life
gba sp added a backlight and better battery life, micro added even more battery life
the sony revisions actually decreased battery life in the case of the phat vs the slim because they had to use a smaller battery to fit into the thinner more fragile case, the bright reduced it a tiny bit more
we the people have eroded the worth of our money, inflated our self worth for trivial jobs and sent it all off shores and wonder where our jobs went
this started really happening in the 80's "eh so what if they have all the manufacturing we can be a nation of accountants and innovators"
by the 90's we were paying people 25+ dollars an hour to shoot screws into cars, hell at my work we pay some woman enough to get a new mercadies every year and have a nice house, and for what? spreadsheet work
so meanwhile while were killing the value of a dollar by giving it away for nothing, and watching unions strike over scented toilet paper, our companies, in order to survive started going other places, like India, Mexico, and Taiwan
and of course in 2010 we have people like me with degree's working for a happy meal an hour as a box monkey, or my wife who is on a waiting list to work at Mc Donald's
I am not sure there is a demand anymore, everyone that wants a 2005 game console probably already has one, needing more sales they looked at what did out sell them and lately get in on the action
one major problem though, nintendo, and lets face it, they could give you a turd on a stick and it would sell like hotcakes, infact they DID with the standard wii controls and it sold
also nintendo historically is a very gimmicky company, they have products that last in sales but only cause of things like color cases, picachu edition, new backlight, 3d, motion controls, and that is fine cause they are sold and marketed as cheap toys, microsoft and sony items are marketed as investments in entertainment, and this latest fad of "me too's" cheapen the product
sony especially, look at the PSP, there for a while they were introducing new models every freaking year, thats fine for a 99$ gamebox, not so much for a 200$ psp
um but it does, its 1 of only 2 controller-free controllers on the list (I dont really count the power glove its just, but if you do make that 3)
TFA is pretty crap, but whoever put up this summary is a tard, TFA has stuff on it not even release yet, so "not from the past" has a jaguar controller so its not "controller-free", and 1 was never released so how could it "fail"
yep per day that would gain me a 20 oz beer a day, something I cant afford right now, in a single income household, where I am reminded every single day by management that I am privileged to hold my pissant box monkey job even though I hold a masters in CS
nope dont help me, lets spend 1.47$ a day for over a month to what? install a storage shed so we can watch cockroaches mate in zero grav?... fuck that
when the entire right party is bitching and moaning about spending 2 billion on a who's who party going to Indonesia and India over 10 days, we are PISSING away 1.3 billion a day over 30 days for what? (fuck be real they ARE visiting the American workforce)
to install a SHED on an international space station and a pissing ceremony
I am so sorry, but is there not more important things in the USA right now than installing a shed "IN SPACE" (echo) ?
with a significant amount of real, hard working blue blood Americans out of work and the best being a 5$ an hour part time no insurance job at mc donalds, do we REALLY need to be pissing away BILLIONS of dollars away on a pride issue from an agency that has not produced a SINGLE practical result AS PROMISED since the 1960's ????
these fuckwits are still using 386's in their systems 23 years after the release, they are out dated and arrogant
Point me to a genuine major advance in airframe materials, thermal protection systems, or rocket engine design since the 1970s and maybe this contempt might be better supported by actual evidence.
maybe cause NASA has not done much of anything in these feilds since then?
and its not the technology of getting it done, yes we still burn gas in our cars, no I do not drive a 1979 buick with a leaky fuel tank
the problem with most thin clients is that they cost more than a cheap PC, we just setup some clients at work, they are 1.6ghz dual core atoms with 2 gig of ram and a 160gig laptop drive at around 150$ each new (not counting software which is mint anyway) vs a $200+ thin client
Democrats could too, and nobody should be particularly shocked if they do.
well I listen to a lot of FOX radio on AM mainly for comedic entertainment, and to keep tabs with what that side is saying, and according to them if Democrats win everyone in the country must have been influenced, intimidated, or bribed
so yes I would think they would be quite shocked and provide me with quite a bit more entertainment value
you sign an agreement to distribute MS licenses and they dont like it when you break it
sounds simple to me... dont sign the agreement!
easy 3 step plan
1) dont sign with MS 2) let distrubutors sign with MS to offer MS product on sale (buy windows 7 for 75$ instead of giving it away) 3) profit
manufactures benefit from not being tied in to a deal, consumers still get a choice (its functional out of the box, but if you want windows add x cost), meanwhile they have a usable machine on OS software, +1 open source once they see gmail and facebook run the same, prices drop
CPM vs DOS anyone? this is how its been done since day one with this platform, welcome to 1981
I was paying for 1.5Mb service, it never peaked over 1.3, when it dipped below 100k for over a month I ended up spending nearly 8 hours on the phone, disconnecting my entire network 3 times, buying a new 80$ modem and screaming at the support monkey, and then got offered to have it looked at for an 80 dollar charge
meanwhile the phone exchange box LESS THAN A QUARTER BLOCK FROM ME is still wide open with a copper rats nest hanging out of it still sits there in its condition
THEN only then after I switched to cable and called to cancel my service ATT offered me 10$ off a month of service and to come out and look at it for free
FUCK DSL, screw ATT, its worthless, and its not competitive in the price market anymore
825Mbps? you asshats cant even deliver 100k, get real
yea but I am not running ubuntu anymore so I would have to look at it for my flavor (I guess would be the better way of putting it) though it should be the same or close enough
(of course I shouldn't have to compile something and use a patched version of blah just to fkin turn off an annoyance in a window manager, might as well have left XP on there)
and several times in gnome I just want them to go away and they hide themselves and pop back up, wifi? Viagra? same difference when something is in your way
meanwhile I have lost a 3 inch section of toolbar on something I want to see
like I said they need to go all across the board, and I have looked into removing them, maybe I am not hitting the correct combination of google fu... I will dig into it later today

well with the gameboys
pocket halved the battery requirement, had longer play times and a better screen (and I think bigger)

its much less of a problem at a lower price point yes, and typically they added value where as sony did not
for example gameboy vs gameboy pocket vs gameboy color
or GBA vs GBA SP, vs GBA micro
what did sony do?
psp phat to psp slim, made the case cheaper and more apt to break, while only shaving mm off the thickness, and you had to buy new accessories
psp slim to psp bright, which did add a brighter screen, but at the cost of image quality
psp bright to psp go, which made it incompatible with everything previous, so not only did you have to buy all new accessories, but your games also
as an USAian I agree

Ah I see there are 2 articles in this summary, my bad
um but it does, its 1 of only 2 controller-free controllers on the list (I dont really count the power glove its just, but if you do make that 3)
TFA is pretty crap, but whoever put up this summary is a tard, TFA has stuff on it not even release yet, so "not from the past" has a jaguar controller so its not "controller-free", and 1 was never released so how could it "fail"

nope dont help me, lets spend 1.47$ a day for over a month to what? install a storage shed so we can watch cockroaches mate in zero grav? ... fuck that
and before that it was electrical problems in the 1970's buick
I love the flamebait status
when the entire right party is bitching and moaning about spending 2 billion on a who's who party going to Indonesia and India over 10 days, we are PISSING away 1.3 billion a day over 30 days for what? (fuck be real they ARE visiting the American workforce)

aww =(

and its not the technology of getting it done, yes we still burn gas in our cars, no I do not drive a 1979 buick with a leaky fuel tank
So, how much is this costing us to duct tape this 1970's clunker back together for 1 last hoo-ra and for what scientific gain?
Oh to attach a storage room to the IIS
well fuck me
maybe, the ones we just used are fanless though

yea its the same shit over and over again, so tiring

And I may have crabs, but I dont think it counts still I see stuff moving around
I don't know, have you played an EA game lately?
