Nah, I think its the screen which is the star of the show - turns heads. Makes gaming a joy and will be great for movies. They'll just have to be clever with the games, avoid disc access as much as pos and, as seems to be the case, do a good line in cheap spare batteries.
Dont compare sales figures yet, these shortages are making the sales figures irrelevant for now. We'll have to wait till the new year for any reliable figures.
If you read the design related articles, Sony clearly states that from the start the PSP was going to rely on spare batteries. The other points i remember were optical media and a 16:9 screen.
The screen is the most power-hungry part on the PSP, but theres not much to be done about other than the user choosing a lower brightness setting
I looked at ebay and saw too many scammy links out there so i thought i'd sell an item of my own:

I dont know if anyone else has said but i read that ridge racer makes it only have a battery life of around 90 min, and there is a region codes on the box. Could just be for films though.
No region lock out on games, I think, but yeah, games like Ridge Racers will kill the battery, but then, for a tenner get yourself another one, or another 5.
Region codes is for films, but we're the same as japan anyway..
90 minutes is bunk, that was on the residual charge laft in the battery from shipping amongst doing other stuff
ign have gotten well over 6 hours out of a full charge with playing several games, looking at a few pictures and playing mp3's, and as Vual said, if the batteries are only going to be £10, it's not really going to make any difference..

I think the batteries will be realistically ~£30 if they are $30-$40 in japan. We always get shafted but i'll still pick one up
just order them in from lik-sang, free delivery and if they're under £18 duty/vat free

But Playstation has the mass appeal with the showcase of games.lol not much surprise there vaul
this will be another case of a technically inferior console selling more than the better one imho. just like with the PSX/N64 and PS2/GC [in both cases nintendo had the better console but lost out on sales]
that said i am still getting a DS when my quiz.tv money comes through
BTW - how does this PSP work? What kind of format does it take for playing games??
Im not sure if i can justify the import once the import tax and postage is factored injust order them in from lik-sang, free delivery and if they're under £18 duty/vat free
Sony created a new disc for use in the PSP, not sure if there are plans to use it on any other products.
It holds 1.8GB on dual layers, works a lot like minidisc, as its always within the enclosure, except it doesnt have a latch, just a whole in the back for the laser to read the disc
