I think the PSP got a bad rap when it first came out. It seemed like people were expecting alot more than the system could deliver. A major criticism was that many of the games were a rehash or cheapened versions of popular console games. For example GTA didn't really innovate or expand on the Playstation version, but what people failed to recognize was that it was close to playing a Playstation 2 game on a handheld. I found that when I changed my way of thinking about the system I found it much more enjoyable. Instead of comparing it to a home console I compared it to the DS. It blows the DSaway in nearly every category, except unfortunately units sold. The system does alot more than people give it credit for and I hope it doesn't fade into oblivion. At least until CastlevaniaDracula X comes out.
