I really don't understand Sony's thinking in making its PSP peripherals look like a piece of chrome. In my opinion, they'd look a lot better getting the same makeover as the PSP rather than looking more like something you'd find in a Craftsman tool set.
But I shouldn't complain too much because at least we're finally getting some images of what to expect from the GPS add-on. What I'd like to know, however, is how long the battery will last when you have all the PSP's features running simultaneously.
These photos come at a good time, too, because there have been rumors swirling that Sony plans to launch the GPS and camera peripherals Sept. 22 during the Tokyo Game Show.

Yeah, all the frustrated PSP owners.
I think the chrome stuff looks fine. What do you want, carbon fiber with gold spinners?

Okay you nintendo fanboy retards, that's enough. If you want to bitch about the psp go do it on your own site and stop annoying people who are just trying to find information out about their handheld. Just go to hell.

Actually, they're just using the GPS device to locate Homebrew developers and hire assassins to eliminate them :-)
But honestly, as long as I don't see a navigation system, I'm not that interested in a GPS device. After all, the uses I've seen/heard about till now are absolutely ridiculous. I'm still waiting to hear what's MGS going to use it for. But I think if a navigation system costs about $100, and there're PSPs available for $150, it'll definitely be one of the more famous navigational devices out there because that's a real bargain. The more stuff you use the hardware for, the cheaper it'll get.

its my first week on these kind of forums and all i see is nintendo fanboys... on a psp fanboy website! not only that, but it appears that in everything joystiq-related, there are at least 80% of users that 'hate' sony (they dont give any REAL reason as for why they choose nintendo over other companies...)
meh...

Common , this only shows that the PSP users are more matures than the DS owners , why , because they are just some poor kids who can only play 2D Mario and stuff , dont even post back to them , because they are just some parasites .

Damn dude, I'm no DS fanboy but it sounds like you have a superiority complex. If you can say all that crap and act like you're better cause you have an "expensive" handheld then damn you have a problem. 150 bucks isn't like the hardest thing to get. Most people get more then that a week. What you said man, just screams spoiled-child. And you act like playing a "2D mario" is a bad thing. If it really wasn't for mario,pac-man and sonic, video games would still be veiwed as taboo.
On topic, I think the GPS could be nice to have for all those people who can't get a GPS system installed in your car or one of those GPS devices. If sony doesn't price it like PS3 expensive ( I know its messed up to rag on the PS3 price but you guys do have to admit 500-600 + tax is alot of money) then im sure alot of people will buy it.

Stop arguing, this isn't some debate. Go do that somewhere else. If someones giving you a problem over the internet, you get the privilege to ignore them.
