Gamasutra masterfully pointed out that PSP is not a failure. Sure, Sony has gone through a lot of missteps, but 25 million sold (which equals the number of Xbox systems sold) is not a figure to scoff at. Seemingly in response to Gamasutra's informative feature,
Pocket Gamer is giving three reasons why PSP owners should be cheerful.
- Improved services: Remote Play, free T-Mobile Hotspots, and the upcoming "beats" point to Sony truly fleshing out PSP's capabilities.
- PSP games are getting even better: The best development studios are making PS2-quality games without any load times. God of War is just the beginning of Sony's revamped focus on the platform, and PSP gamers are going to have a lot to celebrate for. Oh, and let's not forget Final Fantasy.
- PSP is getting cheaper: Not only has the system gone down in price, its games and accessories are getting cheaper as well. UMD games never go above the $40 mark, and Memory Sticks are getting cheaper too.
Feel free to add your own reasons to get excited about PSP. Certainly, this can be the "
year of the PSP" if Sony keeps the good news coming.

there are occasionally games that go up to $50, but most are $40. The good news is that more and more games are being released for lower than that.

The psp are looking very good this year and it could very well be the psps year to shine. One thing sony could do is make bigger memory sticks or even a hadr drive. Can't wait for God of war and maybe HOME for psp.

On the topic of Memory Cards getting cheaper... I found 4gb memory cards at Pricegrabber.com for $48 and I'm pretty sure its legit cuz the storefront had a 4.5/5 rating but I could be wrong... Ordered two and will get them in like a day or two...
