    only thing I don't like is the proprietary movie disks. Will there be a way to hook it up to a TV and watch your full price movie on something besides a 4 inch screen? I don't see much appeal over a portable DVD player for movie watching, considering you'd have to buy a duplicate of your favorite movies for travel in this PSP disk format. I'm not much for portable gaming or movies anyway though. I'd rather have a good book when I'm traveling.

    well then it should be. Dead pixels usually show up on these screens early. My friend had them when he turned it on. It's like a manufacturing mistake.

    And apparently complaints are all over the internet with people returning their psp's for working ones. I'm sure Sony will put a stop to this and tell stores to not accept returns unless they have more than 5 or more dead pixels. That's what they did in Japan.

    I didnt buy the PSP for these reasons:

    1) Its a Sony first gen system. It will break in 5 months.

    2) Within those 5 months Sony will release a better version that can do more.



    So I got a DS instead and I love it.

    I got both... and I was skeptical at first that the PSP would be that much better. Its SERIOUSLY that much better. To the point I'm considering taking my DS and the games I have for it and trading them in so I can get more PSP games... Its hella impressive. Mine also came with the Spiderman2 movie on DSP. I didn't think this kind of hand held system would be available for at least 5 more years... its that good.

    But Brain, its going to break like all first run Sony products so you'll have to go through the hassle of getting a new one.

    Plus the DS gets MUCH better battery life.


    Oh and the whole movie playing this is rather stupid and just gimmicky.
