oh gawd, that’s hideously expensive. more than a proper ps2, aiyoh! personally, i would wait until at least the second re-incarnation/build of such a thing, so they can iron out all the bugs the general user population will find and improve things like battery life [which are always an issue]… also then I could see if I really had a need for portable gaming. Luck! with the inevitable struggle you will be going thru over this ;-)

i dont see the problem, i mean a creative mp3 player is 500$ and only does one function along with storage, but a psp will play videos, games ,view photos and act as an mp3 player, and is said to have better quality picture then a normal ps2 and dvd player coz of the plazma screen, and not to mention it is a portable device u could take newhere, i would say not bad for 500$. reply
