It's already been launched in Japan. I doubt they're going to make major changes before the U.S. release.

no changes need to be made as of now. the only issue, is the battery thing.

nothing else is an issue. he said the analog stick isnt a true analog stick, but its hard to tell the difference, thats a GOOD thing. be it as it may, that its hard to do very slight adjustments, its still way better off then the dpad.

the video thing, for thoes people who are going to be putting videos on themselves and coding them to to the right format and all that. are going to know what they're doing, so finding a way to do that is easy for them. the other people i doubt will even be messing with that. thats not a prob.

and for fingerpints on the screen. dont touch the screen! thats the same for any handheld. which all get finger prints and are all easy to wipe off using your shirt.

Oh my god, many defective first-gen Sony hardware units?

I wonder who saw this coming.

Oh and another thing about PSP's battery life... I can't remember if it comes with extra batteries, or if you have to buy them... But either way, get an extra set of batteries and (although you'd have to stop in the middle) switch off...

Plus I heard PSP's battery's charge fairly quick... at least when compared to the DS... So if you really wanna go on a gaming binge somewhere where you have access to an outlet, use up batteries, replace and charge, repeat

Or just use the dern AC adapter if you have access to an outlet..

I consider the Mp3 playback mentioned an issue for PSP buyers. I'd expect something a little more user friendly from Sony, Mp3 playback should be seamless. Hang on do you just have to rename mp4's? Or do you have to rename Mp3's too?

But the battery life is of course the biggest issue. I know how much it can be a pain, from my iPod. I'd hold off from buying one until this is fixed (or maybe it won't be an issue by the time of release)

Totally defeats the purpose. If you have access to a wall outlet, play your PS2.

I heard that Duracell is working with Sony to release a Premiere Li-ion battery for the PSP to boost life. That would be cool...

The only thing that really matters about battery life is maybe watching a movie and having it cut short if your on a airplane.

Hmmm I'm still picking it up on launch just to see how it is... that and I'm a huge sony fan... so I'll support them no matter what... lol.

I might even pick up a DS as well just so I don't have to deal with rants and bantering about which handheld is better.

I'm going to pick up the Gamecube, Xbox and have my lil pstwo and then leave the bickering up to you guys... lol
